Explore our Expertly Crafted Face Oils

Face oils have been misunderstood for years. For some, the idea of applying oil directly to their skin seems counterintuitive. But here's the truth—oils are the building blocks of beauty and have been used for centuries to nourish and defend the skin. Today, they're making a well-deserved comeback, thanks to their benefits and proven results. Let's debunk some of the most common myths about face oils so you can embrace this transformative skincare step with confidence.

Myth #1: Face Oils Can Cause Breakouts

It's a common belief that applying oil to your face will clog pores and cause breakouts. The reality? It all comes down to the type of oil you use. While some oils can cause congestion just like any other formulas, non-comodogenic oils won’t clog or block pores. It’s important for those with oily skin or prone to congestion to look for the term “non-comodogenic” when searching for a face oil.

Myth #2: Face Oils Are Not Suitable for Oily Skin

Contrary to popular belief, face oils can actually benefit oily skin types. When the skin is stripped of its natural oils, it often goes into overdrive, producing even more oil. Using a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil can help regulate oil production and restore balance. By providing the moisture your skin craves, the right face oil can keep excess shine at bay and leave your skin feeling calm and nourished.

Myth #3: Face Oils Are Only Suitable for Very Dehydrated Skin

Face oils aren't just for dry or dehydrated skin. There's a face oil for every need and skin type. From soothing sensitive skin with Calendula Face Oil to targeting the signs of ageing with Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil, each blend offers unique benefits tailored to specific concerns. Finding the right oil for your skin can make all the difference—explore our range or take our quiz to find the perfect match.

Myth #4: Face Oils Are Heavy and Greasy

While some oils can feel heavy, not all oils are created equal. Dry finish oils, like our Rare Rose Face Oil, offer hydration without leaving a greasy residue, absorbing quickly into the skin. Still a little hesitant? Slowly introduce face oils to your daily ritual with our 8+2 Mix & Glow technique. Simply blend 8 drops of Activating Water Essence+ with 2 drops of your chosen face oil to amplify benefits and enhance your ritual.

Myth #5: Face Oils Are Just a Fad

Far from being a passing trend, face oils have been cherished across cultures for centuries. From ancient Egyptian beauty rituals to traditional Ayurvedic practices, oils have been used to nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin. At Jurlique, we honour this timeless tradition by creating face oils infused with farm-grown actives that provide proven results.

Myth #6: Face Oils Can Only Be Used in Winter Months

Some people believe that face oils are only beneficial during colder months when the skin tends to be drier. In reality, face oils are effective year-round. During summer, lightweight and fast-absorbing oils can help regulate excess oil production, while in winter, more nourishing oils can provide an added layer of protection against harsh weather.

Myth #7: All Face Oils Are the Same

Face oils vary greatly in terms of formulation and benefits, and just like moisturisers and serums, it’s important to find a face oil tailored to suit your unique skin needs. Some are designed to hydrate, while others target specific skin concerns such as ageing, redness, or dullness. For example, our Purely Age-Defying Firming Face Oil focuses on firming and smoothing, while our Calendula Face Oil is ideal for calming sensitive skin. Selecting the right oil tailored to your skin's needs is key.
