While those of us with oily or combination complexions may shudder at the idea of adding more oil to our skin, it’s not as crazy of an idea as first glance may suggest.
While dry skin obviously needs more hydration, oily and combination skin types tend to see an overproduction of oil because the skin is compensating for not having enough. Giving it that water it craves through a moisturizer is a great solution, there are other products you can add to your skincare routine to pump up the hydration as well, such as an oil.
On my skincare journey, I decided to try out rms’ Beauty Oil to hydrate, nourish, and protect my skin to create a smoother and more radiant complexion.
First off, this oil is not only hypoallergenic, gluten-free, and non-comedogenic—so it won’t irritate your skin, regardless of how sensitive—but it’s also cruelty-free. It is lightweight, yet highly concentrated with buriti oil, tamanu oil, jojoba oil, and rosehip seed oil.
Buriti oil contains a lot of fatty acids while tamanu soothes and calms redness. Rosehip brightens, softens, and firms the face, and jojoba oil is full of antioxidants that quickly absorb into the skin for a nourishing and hydrating effect.
You can use this oil one of two ways. First, you can use it after cleansing but before bed for a nightly hydrating treatment. Alternatively, you can use it in the morning after cleansing to help hydrate and prep the face before makeup for a smoother finish.
I love this oil because it doesn’t “sit” on the skin like some others I’ve tired. It absorbs quickly and makes my skin smoother and plumper, filling out any fine lines for a “bouncier” and more youthful glow.
After using it for a while, I’ve also noticed a more balanced complexion overall. It never clogs or causes acne, either, which is a huge benefit.
Because it uses turmeric, this oil can create a slightly yellow tint on the skin, but if it’s used as a night treatment or under makeup, this is not a worry for me.
Sometimes, I mix this oil with some other thicker skincare products to add hydration without making my skin feel heavy.
I am adding this oil to my favorite skincare products, and if you’re interested in adding oil to your routine, I cannot recommend this one enough.
