Valuable Effects of Facial Oils
Facial oils have proven to be effective, highly pure active ingredient care products that are suitable for all skin types and have not only cosmetic but also medically proven healing effects. Applied to the outermost layer of skin, they strengthen the natural hydrolipid mantle and thus protect the skin flora from harmful environmental influences and moisture loss.
The myrto facial oils, which reduce the formation of wrinkles and restructure the skin barrier, go beyond pure care: They strengthen the immune system, fight inflammation, accelerate wound healing and have an antibacterial effect. Special facial oils are also ideal for skin types that are prone to blemishes - without leaving a greasy shine or clogging pores.
Drying and non-drying facial oils: The key lies in the fatty acid structure
The effect of a facial oil depends largely on the fatty acid pattern of the plant oils. Oils with a high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as argan, grape seed, safflower or hemp oil, are quickly absorbed by the skin and do not leave a greasy film. These "drying oils" are suitable for combination skin and sensitive, impure skin, as well as for the regeneration of dry and mature skin.
Non-drying oils, on the other hand, which contain saturated fatty acids, form a protective layer on the skin that locks in moisture and leaves the skin feeling supple. These are particularly suitable for dry and mature skin. Examples are olive oil, macadamia oil or coconut oil - but less recommended for oily skin as they have a potentially comedogenic effect and can clog pores.
Antioxidants: Plant Power for Skin Health
One of the main effects of facial oils is the content of secondary plant substances with antioxidant effects. These include polyphenols such as flavonoids, which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral effects, as well as phytosterols, which strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss. Other important groups are carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, which stimulate the skin's immune system, and triterpene alcohols, which counteract oxidative collagen degradation.
The myrto facial oils combine these bioactive ingredients individually tailored to the respective skin type to achieve a synergistic effect. Our cold-pressed seed oils and CO2 plant extracts are non-comedogenic and have a skin-like lipid structure that allows them to be quickly absorbed into the skin and strengthens the protective skin barrier.
Skin type-appropriate care with myrto facial oils
Depending on skin needs and type, myrto facial oils based on organic argan, organic jojoba and organic grape seed oil are suitable for the following skin types:
- Sensitive skin that is prone to irritation
- Sensitive combination skin that is prone to blemishes
- Dry and mature skin with weakened skin barrier
Versatile applications
The myrto facial oils can be flexibly integrated into your skincare routine:
- As an alternative to face cream: Apply directly to damp skin after cleansing.
- With water or toner: Mix oil with a few drops of water, toner or hydrosol and apply to dry skin.
- In combination with the day cream: Especially in winter, enrich the day cream with a few drops of oil for intensive immediate help.
- In the layering principle: Especially for dry skin, gently massage the facial oil in after cleansing, toner, serum and over the facial cream as the last layer.
Just a few drops are enough to provide intensive care for the face, neck and décolleté. In general, it is better to apply more often than to use too much at once.
FAQ's - Frequently asked questions about myrto facial oils
- Can facial oil complement moisturizer?
Yes, especially for dry or dehydrated skin, facial oils made from cold-pressed plant oils are an ideal addition. They strengthen the skin barrier and improve moisture retention. A serum under the facial oil can further intensify the moisture supply. - Are facial oils also useful for impure skin?
Yes, anti-comedogenic oils such as argan, grapeseed and jojoba oil regulate sebum production and fight inflammation and impurities. They help to balance the skin without clogging pores.
