Does oil only seal the skin?
Understanding Oil Care
for Dry Skin
Beauty oils are sometimes thought to only create a film on the skin. However, for dry skin care, it's crucial to view oil not just as a "seal," but as something that softens the skin and prepares it to retain moisture more effectively.
Oil is more than just a "seal"
Even if you moisturize dry skin, it tends to feel taut over time. This is because adding moisture alone may not be enough to fully regulate the skin's condition.
The role of oil care is not merely to cover the skin with oil. It is to smooth and prepare the skin so that subsequent moisturizing layers can be absorbed more easily.
For dry skin, prepare before adding
When you feel dryness, you might want to increase the amount of toner or serum you use. However, even if you increase the amount of care, if your skin is not in a state to retain moisture, the comfortable feeling will not last long.
At LHOOQ, we generally follow a routine of first softening the skin with Universal Oil, then layering moisture and beauty ingredients with Watery Serum Mist.
The Philosophy Behind Universal Oil
Universal Oil is a beauty oil that can be used on the face, hair, and body. By applying a small amount to areas of concern for dryness, it helps to smooth the skin and hair.
This is LHOOQ's approach to oil care: not over-layering, but discerning what is necessary to regulate the skin.
Basic Usage
- After cleansing, take 1-2 drops of Universal Oil into the palm of your hand.
- Gently apply it to your entire face, without rubbing.
- Then, layer with Watery Serum Mist to provide moisture.
- It can also be used in the same way on dry areas of your hair and body.
If you are concerned about stickiness, start with just one drop instead of increasing the amount.
Your first LHOOQ experience starts with oil + mist.
Prepare with Universal Oil and layer on moisture with Watery Serum Mist. This is a basic care routine for simply balancing your skin, rather than increasing the amount of care.
