✅ When to Choose Which

📝 How to Use Oils Effectively

1. Cleanse your face first.

2. After serums (or toner), apply 1–2 drops of oil to face and neck, gently pressing in with palms.

3. Use at night or during dry seasons for best absorption.

4. Always patch test if your skin is prone to reactions.

5. For daytime, avoid heavy oils—opt for lightweight options like squalane or dilute richer oils with moisturizer.

🔍 Why These Are Preferred

• Backed by community reviews and dermatologist recommendations.

• Cleaner formulations with known ingredient sources and modest pricing.

• Patented or certified ingredients accessible via Indian e‑retailers or trusted brands.

• Free from suspicious marketing hype or hidden actives often associated with Lotus mixing oils.
