Let This Face Oil With Hydroxytyrosol Transform Your Skincare 

There has been a lot of buzz online and on social media about face oils lately, with many beauty influencers swearing by them. Isn’t skincare about controlling and removing oil on our faces, though? Why are face oils making a comeback? It’s largely due to new potent antioxidants like hydroxytyrosol and advanced technology like Enzymatic EVOO, which make plant oils more bioavailable and potent. Let’s dive into the world of face oils, learn about the latest advancements, and explore how they could help you achieve your skincare goals. 

What Are Face Oils? 

Face oils are concentrated formulations designed to provide the skin with essential nutrients, hydration, and protection. Often plant-based, they are derived from various parts of plants such as flowers, leaves, seeds, fruits, and roots, each offering unique benefits. 

Face oils are specifically formulated to complement the skin’s natural oils and help maintain balance and hydration. Our skin produces oils and lipids that prevent water loss and keep it hydrated. Face oils work in harmony with these natural substances, providing additional support to the skin barrier. 

Our dermis (inner skin layer), containing collagen and elastin, holds water, giving the skin a plump and youthful look. The epidermis, or skin barrier, contains lipids, fatty acids, and ceramides that prevent water loss and keep the skin smooth. Face oils, as emollients, strengthen this outer layer by softening and sealing it, mimicking the skin’s natural sebum production. Though they do not contain water and have larger molecules, face oils are effective in supporting the skin barrier, ensuring a soft, smooth feel. 

Why Use Face Oils? 

Most oils possess emollient and occlusive properties, making them excellent moisturizers  supporting the skin barrier. These oils leave the skin feeling softer and smoother. Many plant oils are naturally rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties, further enhancing their skincare benefits. 

In addition to their well-known hydrating properties, face oils can aid with aging prevention and provide antibacterial and healing effects. Those with dry skin can benefit significantly, as facial oils provide deep hydration and create a protective barrier to lock in moisture. Mature skin can benefit from facial oils due to their ability to provide hydration and nutrients that promote elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Oils with anti-inflammatory properties can soothe and calm irritated, sensitive skin.

Face oils can work for those with oily or acne-prone skin, provided the right types of oils are chosen. It’s important to select non-comedogenic oils that won’t clog pores and lead to acne. 

Who Should Not Use Face Oils? 

While facial oils are generally beneficial, there are some considerations to keep in mind:

• Acne-prone skin: Not all face oils are suitable for acne-prone skin. It’s essential to choose non-comedogenic oils that won’t clog pores. 
• Allergic reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to specific oils. Dermatologists advise to always perform a patch test before application. 
• Skin conditions: People with certain skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis should consult a dermatologist before using face oils. 

What Is Enzymatic Extra Virgin Olive Oil? 

Olive oil is not mentioned as often as other plant-based face oils because it is greasy and can clog pores. Olive oil, like all plant-based oils, contains large-molecule fatty acids, which makes it greasy and means it can only act as a skin softener since it can’t be absorbed into the skin. 

Enzymatic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Enzymatic EVOO) is a recent skincare innovation and a step above traditional olive oil. It’s extracted using a method that removes an astounding 33% of fattiness from EVOO while preserving higher levels of the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol and making it skin-compatible. Hydroxytyrosol benefits for skin include neutralizing free radicals, calming inflammation, improving elasticity and tone, and brightening. 

The enzymatic treatment converts large-molecule fatty acids in the oil into smaller molecules which the skin can absorb. Beauty Thinkers products are the only skincare products in the world featuring Enzymatic EVOO. With these products, you can harness the power of hydroxytyrosol, the most powerful antioxidant, and olive oil for your skin in a non-greasy, fast-absorbing formulation. 

Our award-winning Antioxidant Boost Facial Oil is high in hydroxytyrosol, features Enzymatic EVOO, and contains only four ingredients.

How to Use Face Oil?
