Quick answer
Apply beauty oil to slightly damp skin after water-based serums and before heavier moisturizers, using gentle pressing motions to lock in hydration without disturbing your skincare layers.
Why order matters for face oil
The order you apply your face oil determines whether it seals in moisture or sits on top of your skin. Oils are occlusive, meaning they form a barrier that slows water loss. If you apply oil before water-based products, those hydrating ingredients may not penetrate as effectively.
A common mistake is using too much oil, which can leave a greasy film and make it harder for makeup to adhere. The right amount is usually two to three drops, warmed between your palms, then pressed into the skin rather than rubbed.
Step-by-step face oil application
- Start with clean, slightly damp skin: After cleansing, leave your skin lightly damp or mist with a hydrating toner. This helps the oil spread evenly and lock in that extra moisture. Always apply oil to damp skin for better absorption.
- Apply water-based serums first: If you use a hydrating serum, apply it before the oil. This ensures the serum's active ingredients reach the skin while the oil seals them in. Check your serum is water-based, not oil-based, to avoid pilling.
- Warm 2-3 drops of oil in your palms: Dispense a small amount of Beauty Oil - The Original into your hands and rub them together. Press the oil onto your face, starting from the center and moving outward. Less is more—add another drop only if your skin feels tight.
- Press, don't rub: Use gentle pressing motions with your palms to pat the oil into your skin. Rubbing can cause friction and disturb your skincare layers. Let the oil absorb for a minute before moving to the next step.
- Follow with moisturizer or makeup: For daytime, you can apply a light moisturizer on top or go straight to makeup. The oil creates a smooth, glowy base for foundation. Wait 2-3 minutes before applying makeup to prevent sliding.
