Plum Face Oil

Plum oil is versatile and can be beneficial for various skin types. However, it is especially suitable for:

• Dry Skin: Due to its moisturizing properties from the oleic acid content.
• Mature Skin: Because of its antioxidant properties that combat signs of aging.
• Sensitive Skin: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.

That said, its lightweight nature also makes it suitable for normal, combination, and even oily skin types when used in appropriate amounts. As always, individual reactions can vary, so it's a good idea to conduct a patch test before full application.

The main chemical constituents of Plum Oil are: 

Oleic Acids (60-80%), Linoleic Acids (15-25%), Palmitic Acid (5-10%), Stearic Acid (1-4%), Palmitoleic Acid (1-2%), and Vitamin E. Analytical techniques including gas chromatography and mass spectrometry have revealed that its natural fragrance is high in benzene derivatives, contributing to its sweet and appealing odor. The antioxidative power of Plum Kernel Oil is also thought to be much higher than other popular oils, including Olive Oil and Argan Oil.

Plum face oil can be a luxurious addition to your skincare routine, offering a boost of hydration and a radiant glow. When used correctly, it can seal in the benefits of your serum and provide an extra layer of nourishment. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use plum face oil over your serum:

Cleanse Your Face:

Start with a clean slate. Use your regular facial cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and impurities from your skin. Pat your face dry with a soft towel.
Apply Toner (Optional):

If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing. This step can help balance the skin's pH and prepare it for the subsequent products.
Apply Your Serum:

Take a few drops of your favorite serum and gently apply it to your face and neck. Use upward strokes and ensure even coverage.
Wait for a minute or two to allow the serum to absorb fully into the skin.
Apply Plum Face Oil:

Take 2-3 drops of plum face oil onto your fingertips. Rub your fingertips together to warm up the oil slightly.
Gently press and pat the oil onto your face, focusing on dry or problematic areas. Ensure you cover your face and neck evenly.
Use upward and outward motions, being gentle around the eye area.
Massage:

Spend a minute massaging the oil into your skin. This can stimulate blood circulation and help the oil penetrate deeper.
Finish with Moisturizer (Optional):

If you have particularly dry skin or if you're using the oil during colder months, you might want to seal everything in with a light moisturizer. This step can lock in the hydration and ensure long-lasting benefits.
Sunscreen:

If you're applying the oil in the morning or during the day, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
