Can oil be used for inner dryness?
The Relationship Between Oiliness and Dryness
Your skin feels oily on the surface, but tight around your cheeks and mouth. In such cases, it's often thought that you should avoid oil. However, the important thing is not to completely avoid oil, but to re-evaluate the balance between oil and moisture.
Oiliness and dryness can occur simultaneously
When you feel sebum on the surface of your skin, it might seem like it's not dry. However, surface oiliness and insufficient moisture in the stratum corneum can be perceived as separate issues.
Therefore, if you over-wash because your skin feels oily, or completely avoid oil, your skin may become prone to tightness.
Consider inner dryness in terms of the balance of oil and moisture
When you're concerned about inner dryness, review both your moisturizing care and your skin-smoothing care.
You don't need to use a lot of oil. By applying a small amount thinly, it helps to prepare the skin, making it easier for the subsequent mist to layer on moisture.
How to use for those who dislike oil
- Start by spreading just one drop in your palm.
- Apply it starting from the cheeks and mouth area, where dryness is a concern.
- For the T-zone, apply only the small amount remaining on your hands.
- Finally, layer with Watery Serum Mist.
The key is not to care for oily and dry areas with the same amount.
LHOOQ's Approach to Inner Dryness Care
LHOOQ does not treat all skin uniformly. Even on the face, there are areas that are prone to dryness and areas that are prone to oiliness.
We recommend starting with a small amount of Universal Oil and layering with Watery Serum Mist. These two simple care steps allow you to adjust to your skin's condition.
For those who used to dislike oil.
Universal Oil as a conditioning care, not a layering care. Starting with a small amount makes it easier to incorporate into skin that tends to be oily.
