Face oil, plainly

Five guides for people who would rather use one bottle well than ten badly. Each answers its question in the first lines, then gives the reasons, with sources. None of them promises anything a face oil cannot do.

  1. Guide No. 01How to use jojoba oil on your face: drops, damp skin, shavingHow to use jojoba oil on your face: how many drops, why damp skin, after shaving, under a beard, morning or evening, and with cream or sunscreen.
  2. Guide No. 02Rosehip oil in German: Hagebuttenkernöl, Wildrosenöl, RosenölRosehip oil in German: Hagebuttenkernöl, Hagebuttenöl, Wildrosenöl and Rosenöl by species, plant part and INCI, plus jojoba and the dm shelf words.
  3. Guide No. 03Jojoba vs Rosehip Oil for Men: Which, and Why BothJojoba is a liquid wax that keeps for a long time; rosehip seed oil is thinner and keeps less well. What each is, what each costs, and why we mix them.
  4. Guide No. 04Face Oil or Moisturizer? For Men Who Want One StepA cream brings water and oil; a face oil brings no water and slows the loss of what is there. Which to use alone, how to use both, and when oil is wrong.
  5. Guide No. 05Dry skin in Germany: hard water, heating and winterWhy skin can feel tighter after moving to Germany: water hardness by city, dry heated air, what helps the feeling, and the German words on the shelf.

The two big lines on the label

The guides lean on two Formulary sheets: jojoba oil, 82.5% of the bottle and rosehip seed oil, 15%. The other seven are in the Formulary, and the short answers are in the questions.
