When it comes to skincare, water-based products have dominated for decades. They’re light, hydrating, and easy to absorb—but what if there’s an even gentler, more nourishing option for your skin? Enter the world of oil-based skincare, a concept rooted in ancient beauty traditions and beloved for its skin-friendly properties.
At Beyond Chi, we embrace this holistic approach, believing that oil is more than just a way to hydrate; it’s a powerful medium for skin repair and rejuvenation.
Why Oil-Based Skincare Is More Friendly to Your Skin
Unlike water-based products, which can sometimes strip the skin of its natural oils, oil-based products work with your skin's natural barrier. Our skin is inherently "oil-loving" (lipophilic), meaning it recognizes and absorbs oils much more efficiently than water. When you use oil, you’re feeding your skin what it already craves—healthy fats, essential vitamins, and moisture without disrupting the skin's natural balance.
Here’s why oil-based products are superior for nurturing and healing the skin:
-
Deep Nourishment
Oils are rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that deeply penetrate the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and nourishment that water-based products just can’t match. This helps restore the skin’s barrier and keeps it looking radiant. -
Gentle Cleansing
Cleansing with oils, also known as “oil masking,” gently dissolves impurities and makeup without stripping away your skin's natural oils. Water-based cleansers can leave your skin feeling tight or dry, but oils keep it soft and balanced. -
Ideal for All Skin Types
You might think oil is only for dry skin, but that’s not the case! Oil-based skincare works wonders for oily and acne-prone skin too. Oil dissolves oil, meaning it helps to clear clogged pores, balance sebum production, and reduce breakouts. Our Beyond Chi oils are formulated to work in harmony with your skin, no matter your skin type. -
Prevents Dehydration
Water-based products often evaporate quickly, leaving your skin feeling dry again after a short period. Oils, on the other hand, lock in moisture and create a protective barrier, ensuring long-lasting hydration.
The Beyond Chi Nighttime Routine: Embracing the Power of Oil
We’ve crafted a simple but luxurious nighttime skincare routine that nourishes and pampers your skin using the power of oil:
Step 1: Cleanse
Our Beyond Chi Soap gently cleanses the skin, removing dirt and impurities without disrupting your natural moisture balance. It preps your skin perfectly for the oil and butter to follow.
Step 2: Nourish with Oil
After cleansing, apply our Glow All Oil as a serum. This oil sinks into your skin, delivering deep hydration and nutrients to repair and restore your complexion overnight.
Step 3: Lock in Moisture with Butter
Finish with our Glow All Butter, which seals in all the goodness from the oil and provides an extra layer of nourishment while you sleep. Wake up to soft, smooth, and glowing skin.
Why Make the Switch?
If you're used to water-based products, switching to oil-based skincare can be a game-changer. Oils work more harmoniously with your skin’s natural structure, helping to strengthen its defenses while delivering potent ingredients deep into the skin. Plus, oil-based products are rich in botanical extracts that boost your skin’s natural glow.
At Beyond Chi, we’re inspired by centuries-old traditions that use oils and botanicals to nurture and protect the skin. Our products are designed to help your skin be its healthiest, most radiant self—without any harsh chemicals or unnecessary fillers.
