The benefits of face and body oils on the skin

Posted by Pure Cosmetica on 7th Jun 2021

In recent times, more and more people actively seek out holistic health and natural skincare products. This has led to the revival of face and body oils, which have become a staple product in every skincare range.


Why are skincare oils so beneficial?

Other than being extracted from 100% natural botanicals, skincare oils contain a vast array of healing and skin supporting benefits, they are rich in antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties, as well as help with skin repair, making your skin feel good longer.


Incorporating skincare oils into your daily routine is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Here’s why:

1. Oils Contain Antioxidants

Uncontrolled free radicals in our body have a damaging effect on our skin. They create a chain reaction that breaks down collagen and the skin’s natural repair process – leading to visible signs of aging.

Antioxidants protect the skin by limiting free radical production. They correct the visible signs of aging by allowing the skin to repair itself. Antioxidants are also good at calming skin inflammations and preventing abnormal skin pigmentation from sun exposure.


Top ingredients high in antioxidants:
Argan Oil – found in Heal Face & Body Oil
Aloe Vera Oil
– found in Awaken Face & Body Oil


Top ingredients best for anti-ageing:
Cacay Oil and Squalane Oil – present in our Intense-A Face Serum

2. Oils Help Reduce the Clogging of Pores

Deficiency in linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acid) – naturally found in your skin’s protective lipid barrier – creates stickier sebum (oil) which is more likely to clog your pores. Skincare oils rebalance the skin barrier and help regulate sebum production.



Top ingredients high in linoleic acid:
Marula Oil – found in Advanced-C Face Oil Serum
Borage Oil – found in Multi-B 24/7 Face Oil Serum

3. Oils Increase Skin Moisture Retention

When there aren’t enough natural oils in your skin, water escapes making it dry and flaky. Oils help supplement your natural skin oils, add moisture and revitalise the skin’s protective barrier that keeps that moisture locked in.

Top ingredients that boost moisture retention: 

Jojoba Oil – found in Intense-A Face Serum
Avocado Oil – found in Heal Face & Body Oil
Sweet Almond Oil – found in Protect SPF15 Body Oil



The list is endless of healing and skin supporting benefits the skincare oil have for your skin. Incorporating them into your daily routine is a good and natural way to improving your skin’s long-term health.
