Why Your Skin Craves Natural Oils
There’s something instinctive about reaching for oils when our skin feels dry or dull. It’s not just about indulgence or luxury - it’s about giving your skin something it recognises and knows how to use. At Natural Spa Factory, we’ve always believed in working with nature, not against it, and natural oils are one of the most powerful ways to support your skin at any age.
As we get older, our skin begins to produce less of its own oil. You might notice your face
feels tighter after cleansing, or that your usual moisturiser just doesn’t seem to be enough
anymore. This is a completely natural part of ageing, but it does mean that your skin starts
to need a little extra help to stay soft, plump, and protected. That’s where natural oils come in - they help to restore what time gradually takes away.

Unlike water-based products, which are brilliant for hydrating the skin, oils help to seal that moisture in and protect it. Think of it as building a shield - oils stop water from evaporating too quickly from the skin’s surface, keeping it where it’s needed most. They also deliver essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins straight to the skin, supporting elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and calming inflammation or redness. It’s not about chasing youth, but about keeping your skin strong, nourished, and comfortable.
If you’ve always shied away from using oils, especially if your skin is on the oilier side, it
might be time to rethink that. The key is choosing the right oil for your skin type. At Natural Spa Factory, we use a variety of oils in our skincare - from lightweight Rosehip and Jojoba, to deeply nourishing coconut and argan - all chosen for their ability to work in harmony with your skin. They are non-comedogenic (meaning they won’t clog pores), and many even help to balance oil production rather than overwhelm it.
Natural oils can benefit all skin types. If your skin is dry, they add that much-needed
nourishment and comfort. If it’s sensitive, they can calm irritation without harsh ingredients. For mature skin, oils help bring back a healthy glow and support elasticity. Combination skin can benefit too, with balancing oils that hydrate dry areas without overwhelming oily zones. The secret is in finding the right match - and letting your skin guide you.
serums or moisturisers, take just a few drops of oil, warm it between your hands and gently press it into the skin. Don’t rush. Breathe it in. This is not just skincare - it’s a moment of calm, a moment for you. And consistency is key. Over time, you will start to notice the difference - skin that feels more resilient, more radiant, and better able to cope with the changing seasons and stresses of daily life.
At Natural Spa Factory, we’re passionate about creating products that don’t just sit on thesurface but genuinely support your skin’s long-term health. Natural oils are a perfect
example of that philosophy. They’re simple, honest, and incredibly effective - a little goes a
long way, and your skin knows exactly what to do with them.
