Generally, you should apply face oil as the second-to-last step in your skincare routine, before your SPF in the daytime or as the final step at night, after cleansing, toning, and treatment products.
Here are some tips on incorporating face oil into your routine:
- At night: Apply face oil after your serum and moisturizer to lock in hydration and nourishment.
- In the daytime: Apply face oil after your serum but before your SPF, as this allows the oil to penetrate your skin without interfering with the SPF's effectiveness.
- For dry skin: Face oils are excellent for dry skin as they provide deep hydration and nourishment. You can use them daily, depending on your skin's needs.
- For sensitive skin: Choose a face oil formulated with gentle and non-irritating ingredients, such as jojoba, camellia seed, or squalane.
- For oily skin: You can still benefit from face oils, but choose ones with a lightweight formula, like jojoba oil, that won't clog your pores.
It's important to note that some brands recommend applying their face oil before moisturizer, so always read the instructions on the product packaging.
