Aaah, the age-old debate; should you use face oil before moisturiser, or after? The answer is…. Whatever you prefer. There is no right or wrong way to do it.
Some beauty experts swear by using moisturiser first, citing science that moisturiser molecules are smaller than face oil molecules, so therefore moisturiser goes first otherwise the face oil won’t be absorbed.
Other beauty experts say that face oil goes first, followed by moisturiser for a final layer of hydration, which they say should be your final step in your skincare routine.
There really is no right or wrong way and your skin will love your face oil either way. If you’d like to know our preference… we choose face oil before moisturiser. The face oil does the majority of the hard work, nourishing skin deep down, then only a thin layer of moisturiser is needed afterwards.
So if you're still wondering - face oil or moisturiser first? We advise that you try it both ways, and see which way you prefer!
