The Truth About Oils for Oily Skin Myths & Facts You Need to Know

The Truth About Oils for Oily Skin: Myths & Facts You Need to Know

When it comes to skincare, oily skin often gets misunderstood. Many believe that adding oils to an already oily complexion is a recipe for disaster—but that’s simply not true. At Beautifully Authentic, we believe in nourishing your skin with the right ingredients, not stripping it with harsh chemicals.

Our luxurious, sustainable, and clean Moisturiser Bars are designed for every skin type, providing deep hydration and balance without synthetic fillers. Unlike traditional moisturizers, which contain up to 90% water, our bars are 100% pure plant oils, butters, and waxes—no unnecessary additives, no irritation, just pure nourishment.

Let’s separate fact from fiction when it comes to oils in skincare.


Myth vs. Reality: Do Oils Belong in Your Skincare Routine?

❌ Myth: Oils Are Not Suitable for Oily Skin

Reality: Not all oils are created equal. In fact, the right oils—like those in our Queen Moisturiser Bar (for combination skin)—can actually help regulate sebum production. When skin is stripped of its natural oils, it compensates by producing even more oil, leading to increased breakouts and shine. A balanced, lightweight formula can actually bring skin back to equilibrium.

❌ Myth: Using an Oil Will Cause Breakouts

Reality: Many commercial face oils contain pore-clogging fillers, fragrances, and silicones that contribute to breakouts. But our Moisturiser Bars are formulated with pure, non-comedogenic plant oils that hydrate without blocking pores. In fact, ingredients like Shea Butter, Avocado Butter, and Camellia Seed Oil actively calm inflammation and support healthy, clear skin.

❌ Myth: Face Oils Leave Skin Greasy and Shiny

Reality: It all depends on the formulation. Our unique Moisturiser Bars are designed to melt effortlessly into the skin, leaving zero residue. Because they contain no synthetic silicones or waxy fillers, your skin absorbs all the nutrients it needs without feeling heavy or sticky.

❌ Myth: Face Oils Can Replace Moisturizer

Reality: Traditional face oils are beneficial but often lack the full spectrum of hydration that a well-formulated moisturizer provides. Our bars, however, act as concentrated moisturizers, delivering deep, long-lasting hydration without the need for extra serums or creams. Whether you choose the Opulent Moisturiser Bar (for dry/mature skin) or the Deluxe Moisturiser Bar (for super dry skin), you get everything your skin needs in one luxurious product.

❌ Myth: Stressed Skin Requires Multiple Products

Reality: Less is more, especially for sensitive, reactive, or stressed skin. Our Moisturiser Bars simplify skincare by offering an all-in-one solution—nourishing, soothing, and hydrating without overwhelming your skin barrier.
