Face Oil: Balance, for Oily Skin

Handcrafted face oil for oily skin types with hazelnut, grapeseed and jojoba oils, infused with yarrow. Patchouli, Palmarosa and Bergamot for an earthy fruity scent.

It might seem counter intuitive to apply an oil to your oily skin.  Removing all traces of oil and washing your face multiple times a day becomes the norm; you get into a vicious cycle and cannot compete with the natural oil your skin is producing. Your skin becomes red, inflamed, sore and after all this, it’s still oily!

                   Does this sound familiar? 

Give your skin a break and get out of the habit of over cleansing by balancing your natural oils instead. Our face oils work with your skin, rather than trying to fight it. If you have naturally oily skin, and you over cleanse, your skin will automatically produce more oil to compensate for all those times you strip it dry. By using the right combination of natural plant oils that compliment and work with your skin you can find balance…

Finally!

We have chosen light weight, astringent, dry feeling oils to help calm your oily skin and your soul. Made from a blend of Jojoba, Grapeseed, Hazelnut and Evening Primrose oils, your skin will feel nourished, and balanced.

We’ve infused our Balance face oil with yarrow to help soothe sore, over cleansed skin and balance oily skin. With our unique essential oil blend that we blend in-house from Patchouli, Bergamot and Palmarosa oils, this fruity, citrus yet earthy face oil will immediately balance your mood as well as your face.

Balance Face Oil is VEGAN friendly

30ml in an amber glass bottle – please reuse or recycle your bottle after use.

You can choose to receive your face oil either as a ‘standard’ packaging option – with a dropper pipette which can be reused with your next bottle – or as a ‘refill’ option – with an aluminium cap which can be recycled after use. We’re all doing our bit to help reduce plastic use in our homes.

Some of the ingredients we have chosen include:

Jojoba Oil is an excellent oil for skincare, it provides a light covering to maintain moisture, and yet allows the skin to breathe.  Jojoba is actually a liquid wax and as such its fatty acid profile is very similar and compatible with our own sebum; helping to regulate the flow of sebum from the sebaceous glands and is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores, which can help to treat acne.

Hazelnut Oil is excellent for oily skin as its tannin content stimulates circulation, while its astringent properties help treat oily or acne-prone skin. It is good for moisturising and softening, while having a dry finish.

Grapeseed Oil is especially high in omega-6, making it a light oil that penetrates layers of the skin. The oil has astringent properties for tightening and toning, and is high in vitamin E.

Evening Primrose Oil has one of the highest contents of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) of all the plant oils. GLA is responsible for reducing inflammation and maintaining healthy skin, nails and hair, supporting the immune system. 

Yarrow has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties, with astringent properties, it is good for oily and acne-prone skin.

Palmarosa Essential oil has a fresh fruity floral scent. It can be helpful for balancing oily and combination skin types.

Patchouli Essential oil is an unmistakable essential oil; with its rich, earthy, woody scent it is helpful for regulating oily skin and acne.

How to use:

Apply 3-4 drops of oil to the palm of your hand, rub hands together and gently massage into clean skin on your face and neck, inhaling the aromatic scent to relax your mind and lift your mood.

Give yourself a lovely relaxing face massage by using the oil on a damp face or mix a few drops with some water in your palm to allow it to spread smoothly and lock in the extra moisture.

Add a few drops to your favourite face mask or moisturiser to give your skin an added nourishing boost.
