Face oils have become a staple in skincare routines across the world and for good reason.
They seal in hydration, nourish the skin barrier, and give you that dewy, healthy glow that creams alone can’t achieve.
But one of the most common skincare questions dermatologists hear is:
“When should I apply face oil - morning or night? And how often should I use it?”
If you’ve been wondering the same, you’re not alone.
At Everyone Pretty, we believe that with clean, safe, effective skincare, everyone can be pretty.
Our dermatologist-created formulations combine science + plant oils to restore your skin’s natural balance in every season.

Why Timing Matters in Using Face Oils
The timing of when you apply face oil determines how effectively it works.
Apply it too early, and it can block water-based products from penetrating your skin.
Apply it too late, and your moisturizer might not seal in hydration properly.
Dermatologists explain that oils should be the last step in your skincare routine (before sunscreen in the morning or before bed at night).
This helps lock in moisture and protect your barrier from dryness and external damage.
How Face Oils Work: The Dermatologist’s View
Face oils are occlusives, meaning they seal and protect the outer layer of your skin.
They don’t add hydration directly - instead, they trap the water and active ingredients you’ve already applied from serums and creams.
Clinical insights show that using the right oils (rich in linoleic acid, Vitamin E, and antioxidants) helps:
- Strengthen the lipid barrier
- Reduce water loss
- Calm inflammation
- Improve smoothness and radiance
That’s why dermatologist-created oils like Purity Face Oil and Pristine Face & Hair Oil are so effective - they’re scientifically balanced blends of natural plant oils and antioxidants that enhance barrier recovery.
When Should You Apply Face Oil - Morning or Night?
The ideal timing depends on your skin type, weather, and lifestyle, but here’s what dermatologists recommend:
☀️ Morning Routine (Optional but Protective)
If your skin feels tight or flaky in the morning, a few drops of face oil after moisturizer can prevent dehydration throughout the day.
Use:
Purity Face Oil → lightweight, absorbs fast, sits beautifully under sunscreen and makeup.
Finish with:
Protect Sunscreen Cream (SPF 50+) for complete UV protection.
🌙 Night Routine (Highly Recommended)
Night is when your skin repairs itself - this is the best time to use face oils.
They work overnight to strengthen your barrier, reduce dullness, and restore glow.
Use:
Pristine Face & Hair Oil → richer formula ideal for overnight nourishment and radiance.
🩺 Dermatologist Tip: If your skin feels dry or tight after cleansing, apply face oil both morning and night during the winter season.
How Often Should You Use Face Oil?
The frequency of use depends on your skin’s needs and your skin type:
| Skin Type | Recommended Frequency | Ideal Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Dry / Sensitive | Twice daily (AM + PM) | Purity Face Oil |
| Normal / Combination | Once daily (PM) | Pristine Face & Hair Oil |
| Oily / Acne-prone | 3–4 times a week (PM only) | Purity Face Oil |
Dermatologist insight: “It’s not about how often, but how consistently. Even 3–4 uses a week can visibly improve your barrier and skin tone.”

How to Layer Face Oil in Your Routine
Correct layering ensures maximum benefit and glow from your face oils:
Step-by-Step Layering Guide
- Cleanse — Use Perfect Gentle Foaming Face Wash.
- Hydrate — Apply toner or hydrating serum (like hyaluronic acid).
- Moisturize — Seal hydration with Purify Barrier Repair Cream.
-
Seal It In — Finish with 2–3 drops of:
- Purity Face Oil in the morning (lightweight daily shield)
- Pristine Face & Hair Oil at night (deep overnight repair)
- Protect (AM) — Complete with Protect Sunscreen Cream.
Tip: Pat oil into the skin instead of rubbing as it absorbs better and boosts natural glow.
Mistakes to Avoid When Using Face Oils
Avoid these common mistakes to get the most from your face oil:
🚫 Using oil before moisturizer — it can block water-based hydration from entering the skin.
🚫 Overusing oil — 2–4 drops are enough; too much can feel greasy or heavy.
🚫 Skipping sunscreen — oils don’t protect from UV rays.
🚫 Mixing with strong actives — avoid layering directly with retinol or acids; give them their own step or alternate nights.
🩺 Dermatologist reminder: “Face oils enhance your skincare as they’re not a replacement for moisturizers, serums, or sunscreen.”
