Why Face Oils Deserve a Spot in Your Routine — Especially After Treatment

The Misunderstood Hero of Skincare

Face oils sometimes get a bad rap—too greasy, too heavy, too much. But the right oils, in the right formulas, are some of the most effective tools we have for calming, nourishing, and supporting skin. Especially skin that’s been through something.

What Happens to Skin After Aesthetic Treatments?

Even gentle treatments can leave skin feeling vulnerable—redness, sensitivity, dryness, or just that subtle tightness that says I need something. During this time, the skin barrier needs support to do what it does best: repair and renew.

Why Oils Work (When They’re Done Right)

Oils are naturally biocompatible with the skin. They don’t just sit on top—they work with your skin to lock in moisture, reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and deliver nutrients where they’re needed most.

At &After, we use:

- Arnica – known to reduce the look of swelling and soothe tenderness

- Jojoba oil – nearly identical to skin’s natural sebum, helping balance and protect

- Sweet almond oil – lightweight, calming, and rich in vitamins A and E

Together, they create a recovery ritual that’s light on the skin, but big on benefits.

A Final Note: Skin Recovery Is Not the Time to Experiment

When your skin is healing, less is more—and quality matters. That’s why every ingredient in &After is there for a reason. No fillers. No synthetic fragrances. Just clean, calming care that supports your glow.
