While most creams and oils only moisturise the top layer of the skin, emu oil has the capacity to sink deep into the epidermis and hydrate your skin from the inside out. It’s also brimming with nourishing omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
Not only can this incredible oil help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, it also transports anti-ageing ingredients from creams and serums deep into your skin.
And you don’t need to worry about emu oil causing oily skin or breakouts – it’s quickly absorbed, non-greasy and non-comedogenic (which means it doesn’t block pores).
When to apply emu oil to your face
If you have oily or combination skin, you should apply emu oil to your face at night after cleansing. You can use it on its own or layer it under your night-time moisturiser for an added hydration boost.

When to apply emu oil to your body
Add a few drops of pure emu oil to your bath water or apply it to damp skin after your shower for enhanced absorption. You can also massage emu oil onto your hands and feet before bed to treat dry, cracked skin overnight. You’ll wake up feeling like you spent the night at the spa!
