How to Use Marula Facial Oil

Marula oil is collected from the kernels of the marula fruit and has been used for many years for its excellent skin benefits, particularly in South Africa. Marula facial oil protects the skin from harsh weather and sun, and it is extensively used in many cosmetics, such as foundations, lipsticks, and other skincare products.

Benefits of Marula Facial Oil

Marula face oil is a light, non-greasy oil that seals in moisture. It provides a protective layer to the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeps your skin hydrated and plump.

Marula oil does not clog pores or contribute to acne problems. Therefore, it is appropriate for all skin types, mainly for oily skin.

It is high in antioxidants and protects your skin from environmental elements such as pollution and UV rays. Antioxidants neutralise free radicals that can cause premature ageing and skin cell damage.

Marula oil contains vital fatty acids such as omega-6 and omega-9, which enhance skin suppleness and firmness. Regular application can help diminish the appearance of wrinkles or fine lines, giving your skin a younger and glowing appearance.

The oil has anti-inflammatory characteristics, aiding in relaxing inflamed skin and lessening redness. This makes it a great choice for anyone with delicate or reactive skin.

How to Apply Marula Facial Oil?

For effective results, follow these step-by-step instructions on how to apply marula facial oil:

• It's essential to cleanse your face gently with a non-abrasive cleanser before applying marula facial oil. Use water to wash your face, apply cleanser with your fingertips, and massage slightly to remove any dust, dirt or other impurities.
• Apply a toner after cleansing and before applying the face oil. The toner helps regulate the skin's pH and prepares it for improved oil absorption.
• Once your face is cleared of dust, shake the oil bottle, and take a few drops into your palm. Rub the palms against each other to warm the marula facial oil, making it easier to use and activating its beneficial properties.
• Generally, 2-3 drops are sufficient for the full face, but you can alter the amount to meet the demands of your skin.
• Pat and rub the marula oil onto your face gently, starting from the centre of your face and going outward and upward gently. Apply a little more to areas requiring additional hydration or have fine lines.
• Let the marula oil sit and absorb into your skin before using other products, such as moisturisers, sunscreens or makeup.
