Let’s Be Honest: Face Oils Can Be Confusing

Tried a face oil that made your skin greasy, broke you out, or just didn’t feel right? You’re not alone. The key is choosing a formula that actually suits your skin type — not just what's trending.

Whether you’ve got dry patches, an oily T-zone, or ultra-sensitive skin, the right face oil can help balance and nourish without clogging pores.

Let’s help you find your match.

Step 1: Get to Know Your Skin Type

Understanding your skin is step one. Quick guide:

• Dry skin: Feels tight, rough or dull
• Oily skin: Shiny, prone to breakouts
• Combination skin: Oily in some places, dry in others
• Sensitive skin: Easily irritated, reactive
• Normal skin: Even tone, balanced texture
  
  

Knowing this helps you choose oils that work with your skin not against it.

 

Step 2: Let’s Talk Ingredients That Actually Work

At Armony, we don’t believe in overcomplicated routines. We use a thoughtful blend of plant-based oils and active botanicals that support skin health naturally.

Jojoba Oil

A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin’s natural sebum. Perfect for oily and acne-prone skin because it helps balance oil production.

Sweet Almond Oil

Packed with vitamins A and E, this deeply nourishing oil is ideal for dry, dull or flaky skin. It soothes and softens without feeling greasy.

Argan Oil

Known as "liquid gold," this multitasker is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Great for combination skin and restoring elasticity.

Vitamin E

A powerful antioxidant that strengthens the skin barrier and helps reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines.

Vitamin C

Brightens, boosts collagen and revives tired-looking skin. Ideal if you want a natural glow or to even out skin tone.

Rose Powder

Gentle, soothing and anti-inflammatory. Perfect for calming sensitive or irritated skin while adding a soft, radiant finish.

Step 3: Choose Based on Your Skin Needs

Dry Skin Needs Deep Nourishment

Go for oils that are rich and hydrating.

Your best picks:

• Sweet almond oil
• Argan oil
• Vitamin E
  
  

Use a few drops after cleansing, and seal with moisturiser to lock in hydration.

 

Oily Skin Needs Balance, Not Stripping

Lightweight oils like jojoba actually help control excess sebum.

Your best picks:

• Jojoba oil
• Vitamin C (in small amounts for brightening without clogging)
  
  

Pro tip: Use face oil at night so your skin rebalances while you sleep.

Combination Skin Needs Versatility

Argan and jojoba are perfect for this.

Your best picks:

• Argan oil
• Jojoba oil
• Rose powder for calming stressed areas
  
  

Apply more to dry zones and a lighter layer on oily areas.

Sensitive Skin Needs Soothing Ingredients

Avoid fragrances and heavy oils. Stick to gentle, anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Your best picks:

• Sweet almond oil
• Rose powder
• Vitamin E
  
  

Patch test first, always. Then massage a couple of drops onto damp skin.

Step 4: Apply It Right

Face oil works best when:

• Applied on damp skin (post-cleanse or after toner)
• Used in small amounts (2–3 drops max)
• Gently pressed in with clean hands
• Layered after moisturiser for dry skin or used alone for oily skin
  
  

 

Step 5: Listen to Your Skin, Not Trends

There’s no one-size-fits-all skincare. What matters most is how your skin feels — nourished, calm and radiant.

That’s exactly what we aim for at Armony — simple, effective skincare where self-care meets skin care.
