Why Oil Isn’t the Enemy – Especially for Dry Skin

Why Oil Isn’t the Enemy – Especially for Dry Skin

Facial oils often get a bad reputation — but when chosen wisely, they restore, protect, and balance your skin. Learn how Cli L’Édition Lumière uses oil to renew dry, dull complexions.

“Oily” Doesn’t Mean Bad

For years, people avoided oils — worried they’d clog pores, cause breakouts, or make them greasy.
But the truth is, when formulated correctly, oils can be one of the most powerful tools in your skincare routine — especially if your skin is dry, flaky, sensitive, or aging.

In fact, many times, dryness gets worse because people are avoiding oils.

How Facial Oils Help Your Skin

High-quality plant oils are rich in:

  • Essential fatty acids – to strengthen the skin barrier

  • Antioxidants – to protect from free radicals and pollution

  • Vitamins A, E, and K – to improve texture and support healing

  • Natural lipids – to help lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss

They don’t just sit on the skin. They mimic your skin’s natural sebum, nourishing and balancing without clogging.

Why Dry Skin Needs Oil — Not Just Cream

Dry skin lacks both water (dehydration) and lipids (oil).
Moisturizing with cream alone may help short term — but without oil, your skin can’t hold onto hydration long-term.

Facial oils:

✔ Help reduce flaking and tightness
✔ Soothe inflammation and redness
✔ Support the repair of a damaged skin barrier
✔ Improve texture and glow
✔ Deliver nutrients deep into the skin

Day 11 Takeaway
