The Difference Between Moisturisers and Face Oils: Unlocking the Secrets to Hydrated Skin

Date Posted:5 July 2023 

In the pursuit of healthy, radiant skin, many of us are familiar with the terms "moisturisers" and "face oils." These skincare essentials have become cornerstones in our beauty routines, but what sets them apart? To unravel the mystery, let's dive into the world of moisturisers and face oils and discover their unique benefits. At The Sandalwood Shop, we offer an exquisite range of moisturisers and face oils that harness the power of sandalwood to provide you with naturally beautiful skin.

Moisturisers: A Shield of Hydration

Moisturisers are a crucial step in any skincare routine, acting as a protective shield to keep your skin hydrated and nourished. They typically come in the form of creams or lotions and are designed to prevent moisture loss while replenishing the skin's natural barrier. We offer three moisturisers including the 2BYoung Moisturiser, our Mount Romance Facial Day and Night Cream and About Time We Met Day and Night Cream.

Face Oils: The Elixir of Radiance

While moisturisers focus on hydration, face oils provide a concentrated dose of nourishment and rejuvenation. Face oils, like the About Time We Met Naturally Brilliant Oil, are formulated with botanical extracts and essential oils to deliver intense hydration and essential nutrients directly to the skin.

This Naturally Brilliant Oil combines the power of Indian sandalwood (Santalum album) oil with Hibiscus seed oil. The sandalwood reduces the appearance of pigmentation, and the Hibiscus seed oil, dubbed 'nature's Botox', works to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Choosing the Right Option for Your Skin

When deciding between a moisturiser and a face oil, it's essential to consider your skin type and concerns. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, a moisturiser can provide the necessary hydration to replenish moisture levels. On the other hand, if you have combination or oily skin, a face oil can help balance sebum production while providing much-needed nourishment.

For optimal results, consider incorporating both a moisturiser and a face oil into your skincare routine. Apply a moisturiser as a base to hydrate and protect your skin, then follow up with a few drops of face oil to enhance radiance and lock in moisture. Moisturisers and face oils play different yet complementary roles in maintaining healthy and beautiful skin
