Whatever Your Skin Type, We Have The Best Face Oils To Keep Your Skin Looking Radiant And Hydrated.

The last two years have difficult for most, if not all of us, but it also was necessary to help us sit back, relax and understand what the term "self care" really means. Over the last year and a half, we saw seen a huge expansion in what was once deemed an extra - face oils - which is now a skincare must. At AMI London, we believe moisturisers are great, but oils will give you the extra boost you simply cannot get from a face cream.

A lot of people think an oil will exacerbate natural oils making the skin oilier than before, but this is a misconception. Face oils have deep nourishing and powerful qualities. Unlike a moisturiser, they replace lost and low level natural oils (sebum) found from within our skin which naturally happens through age. This causes overall lacklustre and dehydrated cells. This is why at AMI London, we have formulated a face oil for every skin type that all carry high powered active properties that benefits the skin. However, it is important to know that not all oils work for certain skin types, different skin types requires a specific mix of botanical ingredients.

There are two types of oils: carrier oils and essential oils that have to be combined in order to work efficiently. Carrier oils are usually cold pressed from fruits and nuts.

Here is now to choose the right face oil for your skin type...

Best Face Oil For Dry Skin and Aged Skin by AMI London

Our skin is composed of lipids responsible for preventing dehydration, retaining moisture and keeping toxins out, but as we age, we produce less oils that compose this layer, which is where essential oils come in play. They have a high concentration of oxygen and quickly pass through the skin's lipid barrier to prevent water loss and plump it with active ingredients more effectively.

Dry skin needs an oil high in linoleic acid (omega-6), oleic acid (omega-9), omega-7, omega-3 and fatty acids. Our RENEWAL face oil will provide your skin with the moisture it needs. It is beneficial for dry aged skin. Good bye dry skin, hello plump glowy skin.

Our RENEWAL oil contains Avocado oil which is a great oil that is high in sterolin and Vitamin E which softens the skin and protects from free radicals. It's also rich in lecithin, a lipid that helps deliver nutrients directly to the bloodstream and deeper layers of the skin.

Our RENEWAL oil also contains Rosehip oil which is a no brainer as it is great for plumping up dehydrated skin. We like to use it at night to feed all the goodness back into our skin and wake to a highly moisturised, plumpy skin.

Best Face Oil For Oily and Acne-Prone Skin by AMI London

Did you know oils can help balance your natural oil levels, without stripping your skin? This is why we love Jojoba oil. It resembles the actual molecular structure of your skin meaning that the oil your skin produces naturally, doesn't go into overdrive. It tricks your skin into thinking it has produced enough oil.

Grape seed oil which is another oil we use in this formula controls your skin's natural oil producing functions to help balance the pH levels of your skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants to protect and Vitamin C to help heal.

Best Face Oil For Sensitive Skin by AMI London

Those with sensitive skin might be wary of face oils, and quite rightly. Some essential oils can cause mayhem and cause flare ups, and anything unnaturally perfumed can be irritating too. So it's important to choose oils specially formulated to keep the skin calm and protect the skin barrier.

Sensitive skins need a light and calming oil without scent and rich in fatty acids to reinforce the skins barrier function - Jojoba, Vitamin E, Rosehip.

And this is another reason why we are a lover of Rose hip oil. As well as being super hydrating, rose hip seed oil is also well-known for it's anti-inflammatory properties, which is what you want when you've had a break out. This oil sinks it fast to help calm, treat and regenerate damaged skin, without leaving an oil-slick in it's wake.

Formulated for stressed-out and tricky skin, our BALANCE face oil contains a concoction of ingredients to boost collagen and renew the skin making your skin happy.

Both our GLOW and BALANCE face oil which are 100% natural and vegan combines Grape seed, Sweet Almond, Jojoba, Baobab, Rose hip just to name a few are the ultimate face oil needed for nourishing the skin without making angering reactive skin.
