Evening oil
Evening oil is the last thing on the face, and it should stay the last thing.
We pour a light oil because a heavy one pillows on the skin and transfers to the pillow. The point is a quiet sheen you do not notice in the morning, not a film you can see. If the face looks wet after a minute, you used too much. Blot once. Do not add powder on top to hide it.
Scent is faint on purpose. A strong perfume oil is a different product, and it fights whatever you already wear. This one should disappear into the room.
Oil goes on damp skin, not on a dry face you have already creamed.
Pat the water off so the skin is still cool, then press the oil in with the flats of the fingers. A cotton pad drags it off again. Hands are the applicator.
“
A few drops after washing is enough. More sits on the skin and does nothing.
One oil at night. The morning can be water.
Stacking a serum, a cream, and an oil is how a face stays shiny and still feels tight. If the oil is doing the evening job, leave the other pots for another night.
The bottle is small because the amount is small. Four drops across the face and the neck is a full use. The rest of the bottle is for the month, not for tonight.
Keep it out of a hot window. Heat thins the oil and the scent goes first. A drawer beside the basin is the right place.
If the skin stings, stop. That is not a sign to use less of a product that disagrees with you. Wash it off and send a note if you want another suggestion from the edit. This is not a clinic, and the note is not a prescription.
Wash, pat, a few drops, sleep. That is the evening.
The oil is a finish for clean skin. It is not a treatment, and it does not replace a visit to someone qualified if something on the skin is actually wrong.
