Despite their incredible benefits, many myths and misconceptions keep people from fully embracing oils:
• “Oils are greasy”: With proper application, oils can hydrate without feeling heavy. It’s all about choosing the right oil for your skin or hair type.
• “I have oily skin, so I don’t need oils”: Surprisingly, lightweight oils like squalane and jojoba can help balance oil production by mimicking the skin’s natural sebum.
• “Oils will weigh my hair down”: When used sparingly and applied to the ends of the hair, oils can nourish without leaving hair greasy.
How to Incorporate Oils Into Your Routine
1. For Skin:
• Use a few drops as the final step in your skincare routine to lock in moisture.
• Mix oils into your moisturizer for an extra hydration boost.
2. For Hair:
• Apply a small amount to damp or dry hair to reduce frizz and add shine.
• Use as a pre-shampoo treatment to deeply nourish and protect.
