Precautions for oil beauty

Risk of skin irritation

Even though the same oils are used by everyone, they may not be suitable for certain skin types or individual skin conditions. For example, some people may have allergic reactions to certain oils.

Risk of clogged pores and acne

Some oils can leave residue on the skin and clog pores, which can lead to acne and breakouts. Highly comedogenic oils are especially prone to clogging pores.

Increased oiliness of the skin

If not used in the right balance, using too much oil can make the skin more oily, which can make it feel unnecessarily greasy for those with oily skin.

Caution required when using during the day

Some oils are photosensitive and may irritate the skin or increase the risk of sunburn when exposed to sunlight, so caution is advised when using them, especially during the day.

Effects on stain-prone clothing

Oils can stain clothes, especially if you use a lot or if you use a slow-absorbing oil.

When incorporating oil beauty products into your routine, be sure to choose an oil that suits your skin and hair condition, and be sure to do a patch test when trying out a new product.
