Noelle Herzog President of Karin Herzog explains to The Cosmedic Coach how face oil can benefit your skincare routine…

What are the benefits of using face oil?

‘When applied alone face oil will always nourish the skin and increase elasticity, which in turn will strengthen the skin too. This will make dry skin much less likely to crack and split during the winter months. Vita-A-Kombi Oil is Karin Herzog’s hero oil and was created to deliver Vitamin A to the skin to help the natural production of collagen.’

Can you use face oil on oily skin?

‘You can absolutely find an oil which will nourish the skin, without making it overly oily. If Vita-A-Kombi oil is applied before an oxygen Vita-A-Kombi cream, this will push the oil under the skin and will nourish deeper without leaving any oily effect on the skin’s surface.’

How should you apply face oil?

‘When using the Apricot oil, the best and most effective way is to apply a few drops, massage the whole face (even the eyelashes) and then apply a Vita-A-Apricot cream over the top without massaging. This will push all these additional nourishing vitamins under the skin.’

Can face oils give you spots?

‘New face oils won’t give you spots as they are lightweight, absorb quickly and don’t clog pores and in fact plant based oils can help combat breakouts as they help to rebalance the skin.’

Any tips on applying make-up over face oil?

‘Generally, good quality facial oils will massage into the skin without leaving a residue. Any excess can be removed by lightly pressing a clean sheet of facial tissue before applying make-up.’
