Night-Time Skincare & Night Face Oils

Evening is the best time to use a facial oil. Our night face oils are rich in linoleic acid and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), the fatty acids your skin uses to repair the day's wear and tear, strengthen its barrier and hold on to moisture. Your skin does much of its repair while you sleep, and at night these oils can support it without sunlight getting in the way.

Why use facial oil at night?

The oils richest in these fatty acids, like borage and rosehip, aren't stable in sunlight. Worn in the daytime, they can oxidise on your skin and create free radicals, which contribute to premature ageing. Used at night, your skin gets all the benefit with none of that risk. In the daytime, switch to Beauty Balm, made with sun-stable oils that are naturally rich in antioxidants. See our daytime skincare.

Which night oil is right for you?

Both oils are half marshmallow root infused oil, with organic borage and rosehip oils and a little of our homegrown calendula. Light and quickly absorbed, they also make a potent night serum: use them on their own, or under a calendula balm if your skin is irritated or needs extra TLC. Compare the two oils on our natural facial oil page.

A simple night-time skincare routine

  1. Cleanse: massage a pea-sized amount of Beauty Balm into dry skin, then wipe it away with a hot flannel. See the Oil Cleansing Method.
  2. Nourish: warm one or two pumps of night oil between your fingertips and press into your face and neck.
  3. Treat, if needed: layer Calendula and Marshmallow Balm over dry or irritated patches, or dab Zinc and Calendula Cream on blemishes.

For routines tailored to your skin, see our routines for balanced, dry, dry and sensitive or oily and blemish-prone skin. If your skin is difficult or irritated, our calendula balms can be used overnight too, so they're soothing and protecting your skin while it does its night-time repair.
