FAQ

Q1. Is face oil better than a serum?

A1. Face oil simply nourishes, protects and moisturises the skin. On the other hand, face serum is a rich blend of ingredients made to target specific skin concerns. Hence, both have different purposes to serve and can’t be compared. Oily skin doesn’t require face oil, face serum is enough. But dry skin needs extra nourishment, hence face oil and serum both are essential.

Q2. Can Face Oil replace moisturizer?

A2. No, face oil can’t replace moisturizer. Face oil is heavy for the skin and it makes your skin greasy. Also there is no water content in oil and your skin lacks hydration. But moisturizers have both oil and water content to hydrate and nourish your skin. 

Q3. When should I apply face oil to my face?

A3. Face oil should always be applied at night, because it makes your skin extra greasy. As a result your face becomes a sticky surface for dirt & pollutants. At night, there’s no exposure to the outer environment. Oil works overnight to nourish your skin.

Q4. Can I mix face oil with moisturiser?

A4. Yes, you can definitely do that if and only if your skin needs extra oil. Otherwise it will make your face look greasy. Also your skin becomes prone to breakouts.

Q5. Do you put face oil on before or after moisturizer?

A5. Always apply face oil before applying moisturizer. Also you should use face oil at night.

Q6. Do face oils clog pores?

A6. No, face oils don’t clog pores. But you should not use any random oil on your face such as coconut oil. Although coconut oil is great for hair, it’s comedogenic when applied on skin. Always apply a face oil which is made for the skin by nature itself such as saffron oil (kumkumadi oil).
