Apply cosmetic oils, suitable for your type, directly to moisturized skin after the cleansing step with tonic, flower water or hydralate. So the product will evenly lie on the skin and will not clog pores. Oil is not a cream. It does not need to rub the skin. Instead, apply oil to the skin, gliding lightly over the skin.

Oils should be distributed evenly throughout the skin. For oily, combination and normal skin, you will need no more than 3 drops. And for dry skin – 4-5 drops.
