A gentle, healing oil for sensitive and sensitised skin - step 2.

Size

The Graces Soothing Oil is a rich, lipid-based formulation that seals in hydration and helps rebuild the skin's natural barrier. Designed as the second step in a sensitive skin routine, it locks in the calming benefits of The Graces Soothing Serum and restores the protection that compromised, sensitive skin so deeply needs. 

Recommended for both genetically sensitive skin and skin that has become sensitised from harsh treatments, damaging products, nutritional deficiencies, or food intolerances, with consistent use the oil replenishes moisture, improves hydration, and leaves skin feeling softer, more supple, and more resilient. 

Versatile by design, it also works as a gentle cleanser, making it ideal for sensitive skin that benefits from a simplified, non-irritating routine. 

Suitable for all sensitive skin types, including reactive and acne-prone skin.

FAQs

Can I use this with other skincare products? 
Yes, though how much you can layer depends on how sensitive your skin is at the start. Compromised skin has less capacity to process complexity than healthy skin, so if your skin is particularly reactive, keep it simple. Begin with The Graces Soothing Serum and Soothing Oil for a few weeks and let your skin's response guide you. If it feels settled and calm, you can gradually introduce other products. If not, return to the Soothing Duo until your skin is ready. 

Who is it suitable for? 
All sensitive skin types, including skin prone to acne, rosacea, eczema, and perioral dermatitis. For best results, use with The Graces Soothing Serum. 

How long before I see results? 
Many people notice calmer, more supple skin and reduced redness within one to two days. For deeper, lasting results, use alongside Bestow's internal formulas - Omega Glow and Beauty Complex - to strengthen and rebuild the skin from within. 

How long should I use it for? 
Use The Graces Soothing Oil exclusively for a minimum of three months, or longer if the skin is significantly damaged. 

What's the difference between the Soothing Serum and Soothing Oil? 
The serum is water-based, delivering calming, anti-inflammatory ingredients directly into the skin to treat redness and irritation. The oil is lipid-based, sealing that hydration in and helping rebuild the skin's natural barrier. Used together, the serum treats while the oil protects - apply serum first, oil second.  

Why apply to damp skin? 
Damp skin allows the oil to penetrate more effectively and seals moisture into the upper layers, keeping skin soft and soothed for longer. Hydrated skin is simply stronger, more resilient, and better able to protect itself. 

How will I know when my skin barrier has healed? 
You'll see it. Redness will calm, skin will feel soft and plump rather than tight and dry, and blemishes and inflammation will be noticeably improved. 

What products can I introduce once my skin barrier has healed? 
Introduce one new product at a time and let your skin guide you. If it reacts, return to the Soothing Oil and Soothing Serum until it settles, then try again. 

How to skin bathe

Morning

No cleansing is needed in the morning.

Bathe

Immerse your Bestow Bathing Cloth in warm water, wring out excess water, and gently press onto the skin for five deep breaths. Repeat three times to awaken the skin and prepare it for hydration.

Hydrate

Apply one to two pumps of The Graces Hydrating or Soothing Serum to replenish moisture levels and support plump, healthy-looking skin.

Treat

If using The Graces Brightening Lotion, smooth one to two pumps over the skin to encourage a brighter, more even-looking complexion.

Moisturise

Massage one pump of The Graces Nourishing or Soothing Oil into the skin to help seal in hydration, support the skin barrier and leave skin soft and radiant.
