Best Facial Oils for Skin in Your 30s, 40s and 50s

As we move through our 30s, 40s and 50s, our skin’s needs change, and facial oils for aging skin become increasingly beneficial. Natural oil production slows, the skin barrier becomes less efficient and moisture loss becomes more common. Environmental exposure from sun and pollution also contributes to dryness and uneven texture over time.

Well formulated, organic facial oils support hydration, barrier function, and overall skin comfort as skin matures.

How skin changes in your 30s, 40s and 50s

With age, the skin produces fewer lipids that are essential for maintaining a strong moisture barrier. When the barrier weakens, water escapes more easily, leading to dryness, sensitivity, and a rough or tight feeling. Dehydrated skin can also make fine lines and texture appear more noticeable.

Facial oils help replenish surface lipids and reduce trans epidermal water loss, supporting a more resilient skin barrier.

Benefits of castor oil for aging skin

Castor oil is rich in ricin oleic acid, a fatty acid known for its soothing and protective properties. It helps reduce moisture loss and supports skin repair by reinforcing the surface barrier.

Because castor oil has a thicker texture, it is most effective when balanced with lighter oils. In well formulated products, it provides targeted nourishment without feeling heavy.

Why grapeseed oil is ideal for mature skin

Grapeseed oil is lightweight, fast absorbing, and high in linoleic acid, which plays an important role in barrier health. Linoleic acid is often depleted in dry or aging skin.

Grapeseed oil also contains antioxidants that help protect against oxidative stress from environmental exposure. Its light texture makes it suitable for daily use.

Jojoba oil and sebum balance in mature skin

Jojoba oil closely resembles human sebum, allowing it to integrate well with the skin’s natural oils. This similarity helps support balance as oil production slows with age.

Jojoba oil helps reduce moisture loss, support barrier repair, and calm irritation. It is widely considered suitable for sensitive or reactive mature skin.

Organic facial oils matter

Organic, cold pressed oils, like the ones in our Cleanse and Nourish are less likely to contain pesticide residues and retain more of their beneficial fatty acids and antioxidants. Ingredient quality matters, especially for products used daily over time.

Cold pressing and proper storage help ensure oils remain stable and effective.

How to use facial oils in a daily skincare routine

Start with Cleanse

Cleanse is an oil cleanser formulated with castor oil and grapeseed oil to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and daily buildup without stripping the skin barrier. Oil cleansing works by like attracting like, allowing impurities to be removed while preserving essential lipids.

Cleanse contains eucalyptus globulus, Spanish lavender and carrot seed essential oils, chosen to support clarity and comfort during cleansing. Because this method protects the barrier, it helps improve how skin absorbs products applied afterward.

Massage Cleanse onto dry skin and gently rinse or remove with a warm cloth.

Follow with Mist

After cleansing, apply Mist to lightly hydrate and prepare the skin. Mist is a hibiscus and green tea hydrosol that delivers water based hydration along with natural antioxidant compounds.

Hibiscus helps support a smoother skin appearance, while green tea provides antioxidant and calming benefits. Applying Mist after cleansing adds hydration back into the skin and creates the ideal environment for facial oils to absorb more evenly.

Mist can be sprayed directly onto the face or into the hands and pressed into the skin.

Seal with Nourish

Apply Nourish while the skin is still slightly damp from Mist to help seal in hydration and support the skin barrier. Nourish is formulated with jojoba oil and grapeseed oil to provide lightweight moisture and support balance.

The essential oil blend includes geranium bourbon, carrot seed, lemongrass, Spanish lavender and ho wood. These oils are selected to support skin vitality and comfort while maintaining a calm sensory experience.

A few drops pressed into the skin are sufficient. Used consistently, this three step routine supports hydration, barrier strength and overall skin health.

How often should you use facial oils?

Most people benefit from using facial oils once or twice daily, depending on skin type and climate. Consistency matters more than quantity.
