Facial oils. The mere mention of them can arouse up images of greasy, clogged pores, a scenario that sends shivers down the spines of many skincare lovers. If you have oily skin, you may often find yourself avoiding facial oils when shopping for skincare products. This is due to the common misconception that facial oils are not suitable for oily skin types. When you examine the skincare recommendations for oily skin on most brand websites, you'll typically find products like salicylic acid cleansers, clay masks, and lightweight moisturizers. But what if we told you that not all facial oils are created equal? 

Traditional mineral oils can indeed leave a heavy, occlusive film on the skin. However, innovative formulas that utilize unique blends of nourishing botanical oils are anything but greasy. These plant-powered oils are lightweight and absorb quickly into the skin, leaving behind a healthy, radiant glow. Packed with essential fatty acids and antioxidants, they provide your skin with a much-needed boost of hydration and protection.

Another major concern with facial oils is the potential for clogged pores. But worry not! Lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas ensure that ingredients are specifically chosen to not block your pores, preventing the formation of blemishes and blackheads. This innovative approach ensures your skin receives all the benefits of the nourishing oils without the risk of congestion.

As Dr Madhuri Agarwal told the magazine The ESTD, “face oils help to prevent transepidermal water loss and lock moisture in the skin. So those with oily skin can consider facial oils when the skin is irritated and senses a lack of moisture”.

Embrace the Glow, Not the Shine

Contrary to traditional beauty brand marketing, facial oils can actually be beneficial for oily skin, supported by scientific evidence. Those oils, when formulated with innovation and user needs in mind, can actually be transformative: they provide lightweight, non-greasy solutions that nourish, protect, and promote a healthy, radiant glow. With a shift in perspective and the right formula, they can turn into your skin's secret weapon. 

So, ditch the misconceptions and embrace the benefits of facial oils: consider URBAN DEFENCE SPF30. This innovative formula is a testament to the transformative power of facial oils, leaving you with a radiant glow, not a greasy mess.
