OIL CLEANSERS: USE THEM. DON'T WEAR THEM.
One skincare trend we'll never get behind?
Leaving oil sitting on the skin all day. Before the internet comes for us, hear us out.
Oil cleansers can be fantastic when used correctly. In fact, we love them. Products like SupaSlick Pre-Cleanse are one of the best ways to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and the buildup that accumulates on your skin throughout the day.
But here's the key:
Oil cleansers are designed to REMOVE. Not remain.
Think of them as the first step in your cleansing routine. They loosen what doesn't belong on your skin so it can be washed away with your cleanser.
Why does this matter?
Because throughout the day your skin collects:
• Sunscreen
• Makeup
• Sweat
• Dead skin cells
• Pollution
• Environmental debris
When oils are left sitting on the skin, they can trap these materials against the surface. For some people, this may contribute to congestion, blackheads, milia, breakouts, and a dull complexion.
And let's not forget what many of us learned the hard way in the baby oil tanning era...
Oil and sun are not a skincare strategy.
Excess UV exposure can contribute to pigmentation, melasma flare-ups, collagen breakdown, premature aging, and long-term skin damage.
The goal isn't to coat your skin in oil. The goal is healthy skin function.
Social media is great for discovering ideas. It is not a substitute for personalized skincare advice. The reality is that your skin has a history, a biology, and a set of needs that no viral trend can fully understand.
That's why we spend our days in the treatment room, not chasing trends.
Because healthy skin isn't built on what's popular.
It's built on what works for your skin.
✨ Use oil cleansers. ✨ Wash them away. ✨ Let your skin breathe.
Your skin isn't a trend. It's a relationship.
