Do Oils Only Form a Barrier on the Skin? The Concept of Oil Care for Dry Skin
Beauty oils are sometimes perceived as merely creating a film on the skin. However, in dry skin care, it's important to think of oils not just as a "barrier," but as something that softens the skin and prepares it to retain moisture more easily.
Oils are More Than Just a "Barrier"
Dry skin tends to feel tight over time, even after moisturizing. This is because simply adding moisture may not be enough to fully regulate the skin's condition.
The role of oil care is not simply to cover the skin with oil. It is to smooth the skin and prepare it to better absorb subsequent moisture.
For dry skin, preparation before adding is key.
When you feel dryness, you might want to increase the amount of toner or serum you use. However, if your skin is in a state where it struggles to retain moisture, increasing the amount of care won't likely provide lasting comfort.
At LHOOQ, our basic approach is to first soften the skin with Universal Oil, then layer moisture and beauty ingredients with Watery Serum Mist.
The Concept of Universal Oil
Universal Oil is a beauty oil that can be used on the face, hair, and body without distinction. By applying a small amount to areas of concern for dryness, it smooths the skin and hair.
Instead of over-layering products, our approach to oil care at LHOOQ is about identifying and applying only what is necessary.
Basic Usage
- After cleansing, take 1-2 drops of Universal Oil into your palm.
- Gently apply it to your entire face without rubbing, as if enveloping it.
- Then, layer Watery Serum Mist to provide moisture.
- You can follow the same process for dry areas on your hair and body.
If you find it sticky, start with just 1 drop instead of increasing the amount.
