If your skin lacks moisture, elasticity and a beautiful glow, you should resort to facial oil.

Facial oils are especially suitable for Nordic and Finnish skin, because here in the North our skin is exposed to harsh conditions. Varying weather conditions, dry indoor air and environmental factors all affect the condition of the skin in the long term and at the same time also the appearance.
Facial oils effectively moisturize, care for and soften the skin. We interviewed Anna-Liisa Halsas-Lehtoa, SKY cosmetology and beauty care teacher and training manager with over 20 years of experience in the field. He opens up to Tyyli.com about the usefulness of facial oils.
– Face oils bring fatty substances to the skin, which the skin lacks. They provide effective protection against the evaporation of moisture from the skin.

Halsas-Lehto suspects that the recent popularity of oils is due to the development of the cosmetics industry. Today’s oils are finer and more pleasant to use and they don’t leave the skin shiny.
– Nowadays, more finely divided oils are produced. It used to be thought that when you apply a thick layer of oil on your face, it leaves the skin with an oily and very shiny surface that can be seen from afar. In addition, one had to wait a long time for it to be absorbed.
MORE ON THE SUBJECT
Anna-Liisa Halsas-Lehto advises 3 ways to use skin oils:
1. Apply face oil directly to clean skin.
2. Layering, either on top of the serum or both serum and face cream. Facial oil is always the top and last product, as it locks moisture into the skin.
3. Mix a couple of drops of facial oil into the moisturizer.
