When it comes to selecting ingredients, we don’t make compromises at Hemptouch. We firmly believe that only the finest natural ingredients belong in our products. Something that is also confirmed by our latest offering: facial oil serum. In it, we’ve combined the magic of plum kernel oil, hempseed oil and CBD. We further enhanced the formulation with the addition of a very special poppyseed extract.
Why is supporting the skin barrier so important?
In this modern age our skin is exposed to numerous environmental stressors, including air pollution and extremes of cold and heat. In addition, we often use unsuitable or overly aggressive cosmetic products. That is why it is so important to strengthen the skin on a daily basis and, above all, to preserve its vital functions.
A damaged skin barrier is, in fact, a frequent cause of skin problems such as dermatitis, allergies, acne, and so on. We often provoke such skin conditions ourselves by using highly concentrated products that are supposed to eliminate a specific skin irregularity. In the long term, however, that can have the effect of damaging the skin barrier.
Above all, then, it is important to support the skin barrier. Maintain its balance and use active ingredients cautiously. Don’t worry. Although it may seem impossible to you right now, rest assured that you can achieve a great deal with careful care. It is possible to avoid dehydration lines and the signs of a tired and dull complexion without putting undue pressure on the skin’s self-protective function.

Something that is also confirmed by our latest product. Replenishing Antioxidant Face Oil. In it, we’ve combined the magic of plum kernel oil, hempseed oil and CBD. We enhanced the formulation with the addition of a very special poppyseed extract. And that’s all we’re going to say for now: some things should remain a secret ;)
Why an oil serum if I already have a cream?
If you want to strengthen your skin barrier, we strongly recommend using high-quality plant oils that are rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Unlike moisturising creams, which primarily moisturise the epidermis, oil serums contain nutrients that target those skin processes that are essential for collagen and elastin synthesis, soothing the skin and increasing skin hydration.
Care oils are designed to protect the skin against changes of weather and temperature. At the same time their job is to retain moisture, repairing the skin barrier, keeping the skin supple and supplying it with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and vitamins. Another of their important properties is that they imitate natural sebum. That means that they help maintain the skin’s hydrolipid layer, which in turn helps the skin trap additional moisture and prevents it from evaporating too quickly.
How do I use facial oil serum?
You only need to use a few drops. The oil spreads nicely on application and 2–3 drops are more than enough to treat your skin to a luxurious pampering. If you have drier skin you will probably need a drop or two more. In the case of combination or oily skin we advise using it very sparingly.
Massage the oil serum into the skin of your face, neck and décolletage area using circular motions. Try and make sure that you are always massaging in an upwards direction. We recommend going online to find a facial massage technique that suits you. In this way you will boost microcirculation, relax the facial muscles and help the oil absorb better.
Apply to damp skin so as to trap moisture
We recommend applying oil serum to the face when it is still slightly damp. Use it after floral water, toner or hydrating essence. Under no circumstances do we recommend using oil serum on its own. The skin always needs a balance between hydration and nutrition.
Let oil serum be the finishing touch of your care routine
It’s always best to apply oily textures as the final step of a skin care routine. This way they will protect the skin against external factors and moisture loss. They can be used as a substitute for a facial moisturising cream or used in combination with a cream for an even better effect.
Morning or night?
Oil serum has a particularly beneficial effect when used as part of a night-time care routine. This is when the skin is in its rest and regeneration phase. That makes it even more receptive to repair and strengthening. As a result, you can face the morning with skin that is rested and reborn, ready to meet the challenges of the day.
