What is a Dermal Roller?
A Dermal Roller is a clever handheld device that can help improve the absorption of skincare products. These devices use tiny needles that, when rolled over the surface of clean skin, create micro channels, making it easier for your skin to absorb facial serums and oils. Dermal rolling can also help stimulate circulation and skin regeneration for a smoother, clearer and more youthful complexion. A Dermal Roller should be used on clean skin, with any facial serums and oils applied after your treatment. It’s essential to use the right natural oil for your skin to get the most out of your Dermal Roller. You can read more about how to use a Dermal Roller in my blog post here.
Best natural facial oils by skin type
Facial oil for sensitive skin
Pai Rosehip Oil
The Acure Organics Rosehip Oil is a favourite among those with sensitive skin as it's super gentle and and unlikely to aggravate sensitivities and skin conditions. It's effective at improving the appearance of scars, stretch marks, sun damage, pigmentation and fine lines, plus it doesn't cause any additional sun-sensitivity, so it can be applied both day and night. It's also rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids to encourage skin repair and stronger, more supple skin.
Facial Oil for all normal skin
Life Basics Cacay Oil
If your skin is normal, meaning it doesn't err towards dry or oily, I recommend the Life Basics Cacay Oil. Boasting a higher concentration of Vitamins A and E than Rosehip and Argan Oils, Cacay Oil is rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients which work to keep skin glowing and may help fight the signs of ageing. Sustainably sourced from the Amazon, this vegan facial oil can help to restore suppleness, firmness and elasticity to skin while delivering a burst of moisture.
Facial oil for dry skin
Mukti Antioxidant Facial Oil
If you're dealing with particularly dry or dehydrated skin, opt for Mukti Antioxidant Facial Oil.

Made from a curated infusion of 15 of the world's most nutrient dense antioxidant oils that work to nourish and protect your skin from free radicals.
