How to get the most out of your facial oil

April 11, 2016 – Marina Engervik

We have received many inquiries and questions about how to use and store our oils. That's why we have written an informative article for you with answers to these questions. Maybe you will get some good tips to get the most out of your facial oil?

How should the oil be stored?

Both facial oil and serum should be stored at room temperature. Keep the oil in a dark place and away from direct sunlight. This will help the oil last longer.

Should I put the oil in the refrigerator?

You can refrigerate the oil, but be aware that some of the ingredients in the oils will harden in cold temperatures. So remember to take the oil out of the refrigerator about an hour before you plan to use it. (If you buy several oils at once, it may be a good idea to refrigerate the oil you are going to use when the other one is empty.)

Always remember to screw the cap back on after use.

It is so important to always screw the cap back on after each use. If you are a little sloppy with this, the oil will oxidize more easily and become rancid. To preserve the oil for as long as possible, always screw the cap back on after use.

How long does the oil last after I open it?

Our facial oils are fresh products. This means that regardless of when you open the oil, it will last approximately 10 months from the time you receive the product from us. So if the oil has been in your cupboard for 6 months before you use it, it will last approximately 4 months.

Avoid touching the dropper to the skin.

I have seen that many people have a habit of touching the dropper to their finger or palm when using the dropper. Pay attention to whether you do this the next time you use the facial oil. If you often touch the dropper to your hands, bacteria can get into the facial oil and the oil will then have a shorter shelf life.

Shake the bottle

You must always remember to shake the bottle well before each use. This is because the ingredients have different weights and will naturally separate. You must mix these yourself before using the facial oil by shaking the bottle upside down for 5 seconds. This will help you get the most out of the product because you will get every single fine ingredient in every single drop.

How do I apply the facial oil?

The most important thing is to have a clean surface. Cleanse your face with a mild cleanser to make your skin receptive to the pure oils. Try this natural cleanser >>

After your face is clean, shake the bottle, pour about 4-8 drops into your hand. Warm the oil in your hands and massage the oil into your entire face.

If you use toner/toner, apply the facial oil after toner.
