Are You Using Facial Oil Right? | How, When and What to Use!

[@Nick-kf3io]

This is why I don't understand why Dr Dray dismisses oils as all the same. They can offer incredibly varied benefits. (I personally use a drop of jojoba in the am and hemp seed oil in the pm)

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Agreed! It’s weird that she just calls them all emollients and they don’t do anything different but that’s not true!

[@johnmichaelarnaud]

I appreciate Dr. Dray's information, but don't really rely on her for things like, "Did this work?" Because her skin has nothing wrong with it; of course the product did nothing. There's nothing for it to do. Gimme someone who actually has a skin concern and then I'll perk up and listen.

[@Siberius-]

​@@johnmichaelarnaud - She does have a skin condition, but other than that her skin is pretty fine, and it does lead her to miss some stuff, like with her not understanding cleansing oil being used to remove sebaceous filament "grits".

Just wanted to tell you that you are literally a godsend!!! I never enjoyed the oils from The ordinary but the B Oil is soo good!!! I wanna thank you so much for your AMAZING videos, the deep interest into the topics you speak on, the useful reviews and information you provide to all your viewers!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@eileencheungzou8039]

I love how informative you are and how you make me appreciate skincare more than I did! Thank you!!

[@renardkit]

I looooooove oil in my evening routine. Even though I have oily skin, I love to put on an oil after my moisturiser and hydrating steps, and then top it with Vaseline. My skin is soooooo happy!

[@kathleenwarner4046]

Thank you Kelly. Your oil recommendations are spot on. I use squalane oil in the summer and B oil or Fortify in the cooler seasons. The best advice you gave was to blend the oil with a moisturizer (Liquid Gold in my case). That has helped tremendously in absorption. Before that, the oil would just sit on top of my moisturizer.

[@KellyDriscoll]

Yay so glad that tip works so well for you!

[@iggybiggy821]

Great video Kelly! I was a one hit wonder on the "when and how" of using my oils but no longer now that I watched this informative video! In future I'll be layering differently as needed and or mixing! Thank you for the education!

7:02 - Very cool. This is exactly what I was curious about with my skin concern. My issue if that my dead skin cells just DON"T ever leave my face. It's insane. Cleansing oil has been INCREDIBLE, so I just realised recently that like, what if I just left a lightweight oil on my face under moisturiser (might not need to use cleansing oil every night). I bought a few serums/ampoules, and I prefer one a lot more than the others (Manyo Factory Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule), and I was noticing that many hours later I would get a very lightweight oil accumulating on my face, so I checked the ingredients and squalane is actually on there (far down), so I think it's MAYBE primarily the oil is why I like it much more than the others. Peeling gels are also awesome, and really focusing a LOT on hydration. Also gonna get a silk pillow case. I think my glycolic acid would work better after this, too, since the glycolic doesn't actually REMOVE the skin cells like with regular skin, I still personally have to do that manually, so hopefully face oil will make it easier for just water to work with that. I don't hear about other people with this issue, so it's been a long process. It's been the same with my currently dry skin, and also with my past rather oily skin before my better use of hydration, and also my tretinoin. Really trying to find the things that work before RELYING on exfoliants and cleansing oils, and I think that is serious hydration and hopefully face oils. 11:16 - I might start with the lightweight rosehip oil... my skin can now absorb pretty much anything, but since I've had oily skin before, I'm still in that mindset. I got past it with thick moisturisers, but I don't really know what to expect with oil. I have all it's benefits over squalane covered already, but it costs about the same from The Ordinary. ALSO with rosehip the source is rosehips, where as with squalane there's many sources for that (if they don't specify) and so there's an increased chance of irritation if one is allergic to the impurities from one of those sources (though everyone's skincare has like a thousand ingredients, so whatever). Thank you for making this video! super helpful stuff.

this is completely off subject but girl your eyebrows are everythinggggg!

[@KellyDriscoll]

Omg thank you!!

[@aivivuuu3161]

I’ve fallen in love with the Juno oil from Sunday Riley! It is advertised to have omegas 3, 6, and 9 and is amazing for my dehydrated combo skin in the winter. It doesn’t contain essential oils or fragrance either, which is hard to find with oil blends these days! You’ve got to try it Kelly! Cocokind has a chia seed oil as well, which is nice for when you don’t want to wait for an order from deciem-it’s just at target so it’s more accessible but around $16 so a little more pricey than the ordinary!

[@marieke_lk]

Thanks to your previous recommendations I started using an oil (from Jorgobé, a Danish brand), and it really helped my dry skin

[@serenity8910]

I have oily skin but I actually don't like the "drier" oils like squalene. The texture isn't pleasant to me and doesn't feel like it absorbs into the skin. I really like the texture of rosehip oil though. I think it's my favorite!

[@frankvelez4997]

Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. Try the Skin Deva 100% Argan oil. It's great. I hope you enjoy if you purchase it. Very Affordable! And it's the real deal! You can tell by ths color and scent. 🥰👋👍🤲🙏

[@carriemroczkowski9409]

Really great info! I use First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Oil. I just turned 45 and have mostly dry, a little combo, and find that this works for me to put over a moisturizer. I have a couple moisturizers that are oil free which I like to mix in or layer. Thanks, girlie🍃🌸

[@blee8607]

I like Good Molecules Bakuchiol oil, since it has 1% bakuchiol, and also rosehip oil and chia seed oil.

[@JD-xd4sy]

"B"-Oil is my BFF, but I recently indulged and started using the Bakuchiol oil blend from Medik8 - and it's a keeper! Smooth and hydrated for much longer.

[@lisah.6721]

I like Marula Oil as a lip oil and Rosehip Oil for general skin care

[@niklaus009]

stratia fortify is on the wishlist after this video!!

[@debbie_LJ]

I only use Argan Oil🤷‍♀️It was a gift. I only use it at night on top of my moisturizer or on my hair prior to washing it. Thank you Kelly💗

[@Desertxxrose]

LOVE B Oil and Fortify! They have been a lifesaver for my Tret routine!

[@KellyDriscoll]

Both are so good when skin is super dry or irritated, just got my back up bottles of both on black Friday sales!

[@gingertunstall7739]

I see a problem with applying an oil directly under your sunscreen which should, of course, be applied before makeup. So often talking about a moisturizer of oil, etc applied "under makeup" without addressing where sunscreen application occurs is leaving out crucial info.

[@jessabeauty917]

Discussing that oil degrades the sunscreen’s film. That’s how it provides protection-the film. Oil is best for the pm routine.

[@lizamarie8655]

I use cocokind’s repair oil. I use a little bit in my moisturizer. Especially in the winter months. I’m the spring and summer I use biossance’s squalane oil.

[@NusratSarah]

I Love Tamanu Oil on my Face Mixed with Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream at night in Winter ✨✨✨✨

[@SaraAshley116]

Good insight into why Drunk Elephant’s marula oil clogged my pores and gave me white heads. I thought oils weren’t for me. Maybe just not that kind.

[@miily4294]

I have to confess that I was waiting for this video for a long time on your channel Kelly😍

[@KellyDriscoll]

Glad this was helpful!

[@fjp9]

i’ve used some from the ordinary and just make my own mixtures now. i put my facial oils in a rollerball for easier use. no spillage either which has happened to me when i’ve accidentally knocked over a facial oil from the ordinary.

[@tb8351]

Hello just seeing your video Thank you for your information very helpful I subscribed❤

[@catherinewheeler7498]

Thank you so much for this very informative video. I never used oil before, think I’m going to try Stratia Fortify for my aging skin. 😘

[@user-ew2jc1iv7p]

Wow thank you to this information. I think tamanu is best for me for my high pigmentation. I hope this product can help me

[@jenniferlee9029]

Hi Kelly I know a lot of dermatologist say oils don't actually hydrate the skin so it's a bit confusing. Dr Idriss says oils are occlusives not hydrators.

[@frankvelez4997]

Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. Yes I heard Dr. Sheerene say this. They are moisturizing though. I wonder if there is a oil that is considered a hydrating oil. Need to do our homework. 🤲🙏Have you tried the Skin Deva 100% Argan oil? It's very nice. It's the real deal! You can tell by the color and scent. True Argan oil smells like popcorn. Its faint but you can smell it if you have a good sense of smell. And it's very affordable.

[@jessyca9833]

Thanks Kelly, I always learn so much from your videos ! I would loooove to know what you think of Pyunkang Yul Oil!

[@clearquartz]

Kelly I wonder if you might like Evolve Organic Beauty's Kalahari Dream Cleansing Oil. My skin is prone to dryness and sensitivity, and I find it feels very lightweight yet still plush and comforting, and then it rinses away completely clean. It does have a scent to it that lots of people seem to love, and though it isn't my favorite, it doesn't seem to bother my skin at all. And then their Gentle Cleansing Melt is a cleansing balm that I adore and have used for years. Anyway just thought I'd recommend. I've just recently discovered your channel and its been so fun. Very light and relaxing, and I'm learning about so many new products! Thanks so much :)

[@watchingreviews528]

I really want to try the Paula’s Choice oil booster blend.

[@nelsonquinney2316]

Great Video Kelly

[@ashleylamb1000]

I love to mix my oils into my moisturizer. I have been looking at the Peach & Lily Pure Beam Luxe Oil, as it looks like it may be a really nice combination of oils for my sensitive, inflamed, combo skin. Also, can I still mix my retinol in with my moisturizer & oil mixture? I normally add it in to ease the sensitivity, so I wasnt sure how the oil would mix in with it. Thank you for all that you do for us! We all appreciate you!

[@KellyDriscoll]

I wouldn't mix in retinol and oil, just to be safe. Try a pea size of moisturizer and oil before or after your retinol and moisturizer mix.

[@ashleylamb1000]

I used to like oils and used Rosehip oil, but now I don't like oils as I find they kind of blur my eyes. I prefer sleeping packs, but my mum loves oils. For me despite having dry skin I prefer creams, balms and sleeping packs to oils.

Hi I'm Loretta De Los Rios using Frank's account to make this comment with his permission. The 100% Argan oil from Skin Deva is great. Good molecules has a good one also called Ultra hydrating facial oil formulated with camellia oil and sea buckthorn oils .And the BYBI brand also has a good one ! the Strawberry seed oil booster ! I am going to try the B oil from the Ordinary ! Kelly I purchased the moisturizer you recommend from Stratia the Liquid Gold.! I liked it. .I also purchased their Velvet Cleansing Milk. Can you tell me if this one ingredient called Laureth-7 that this Velvet Cleansing Milk contains ! is it safe for skin? I will appreciate it. Thank you. Also Thank you for this great video. What I like about your videos is you do go into depth and go that extra mile in explaining. 🤲🙏⚘👍👋🥰🌺🎶🥂
