Do Ello facial oils work for all skin types?
Ello facial oils are suitable for all skin types. They are suitable for dry, combination, and even oily skin types. The base blends of each Ello facial oil address the type of usage, the time of day and the type of skin conditions they target. As Ello facial oils are suitable for all skin types, the one best suited for you should be based on personal preference.

When do I use facial oils in my skincare routine?
In general, your facial oil should be applied as the last step in your skincare routine.
IN THE MORNING: Apply after your moisturiser, before sunscreen and make-up. Uplift is our morning facial oil and provides the perfect hydrating base glow under makeup.
IN THE EVENING: Apply as the last step in your skincare routine following moisturiser/serums. Restore is our evening facial oil and deeply rejuvenates the skin and you wake with a replenished glow.

Will Ello facial oils make me break out?
Our facial oils are designed for mature skin, so if you have oilier skin and you are prone to breakouts, you would benefit most from our Uplift blend. Uplift is our lightest blend and contains the greatest amount of Jojoba oil which is great for balancing oily skin and controlling breakouts. Not only does it help with oiliness it also keeps the skin hydrated as well. But if you do experience problems, stop using the product and then try again in a few days to see the difference. Most importantly, if at any time you are not happy with your purchase, please contact us at contact@ellobotanicals.com and we can talk to you further about your concerns.
