What is a facial oil?
To put it simply, a facial oil is an oil-based formula (typically a blend of plant oils) that enhances the benefits of your skincare routine and works alongside your skin to deliver you the best results for you. Your skin naturally produces lipids and oils to help keep it hydrated and healthy. By using facial oils, you are complementing the natural oils within your skin to help lock in hydration, soften, nourish and balance.
Boost your skin barrier
Dehydrated skin can be caused by a multitude of factors such as the changes in the weather, air conditioning, diet… the list goes on. Your skin’s surface layers are oil-based, so, if you lose too much of these essential oils your skin will begin to show signs of stress and sensitisation. Facial oils can nourish these layers more intensively and effectively, bolstering your skin’s natural defence mechanism so that it keeps the good stuff (moisture) in, and the bad stuff (external irritants) out.
Enriched with 7 natural oils that work together to replenish your skin, Evercalm™ Barrier Support Elixir helps to reduce 7 signs of sensitivity associated with a compromised skin barrier such as redness, dryness, itching and general discomfort.
We’ve created two guides on how to incorporate Evercalm™ Barrier Support Elixir into your everyday routine.
