If you've ever wondered why some people seem to have naturally healthy, glowing skin, the answer usually isn't dozens of expensive products. More often, it's about using a few quality products the right way.
One of our favorite combinations at Olio Skin & Beard Co. is pairing our handcrafted Face & Body Oil with our Rose or Lavender Hydrosol. Used together, these two simple products create a powerful daily skincare routine that hydrates, balances, and protects your skin naturally.
What Is a Hydrosol?
Hydrosols are the aromatic waters created during the steam distillation of plants. While essential oils contain the concentrated oil-soluble compounds, hydrosols capture the beneficial water-soluble compounds that are incredibly gentle on the skin.
Our hydrosols contain no alcohol, no artificial fragrance, and no unnecessary fillers, just pure botanical goodness.

Why Use Our Face & Body Oil After Hydrosol?
One of the biggest skincare myths is that oils moisturize your skin by themselves.
In reality, oils don't add water to your skin, they help lock moisture in.
That's where a hydrosol comes in.
Think of it this way:
The hydrosol provides lightweight hydration to the surface of your skin, while the Face & Body Oil creates a protective barrier that helps keep that hydration where it belongs.
Using them together provides noticeably better hydration than using either one alone.
How to Use Them Together
Our favorite routine couldn't be easier.
-
Wash your face with a gentle handmade soap or cleanser.
-
Leave your skin slightly damp or lightly mist your face with Rose or Lavender Hydrosol.
-
While your skin is still damp, place 3–5 drops of Face & Body Oil into your hands.
-
Gently massage the oil into your face and neck.
Applying the oil while your skin is still damp allows it to seal in hydration while leaving your skin soft, not greasy.
When Should You Use Them?
For most people, twice a day is ideal.
Morning
Start your day by cleansing your face, applying a hydrosol mist, then following with Face & Body Oil. Your skin stays hydrated throughout the day and creates a smooth base before sunscreen or makeup.
Evening
Before bed is when your skin performs much of its natural repair. Applying hydrosol followed by Face & Body Oil helps support your skin overnight, allowing you to wake up feeling refreshed and hydrated.
Throughout the day, you can also mist your face with either hydrosol whenever your skin feels dry, especially during Utah's dry climate, after spending time outdoors, or in air-conditioned environments.
Face & Body Oil Isn't Just for Your Face
As the name suggests, our Face & Body Oil is incredibly versatile.
Use it on:
-
Dry hands
-
Elbows
-
Knees
-
Cuticles
-
Tattoos
-
Legs after shaving
-
Dry patches anywhere on the body
Applying it immediately after a shower while your skin is still damp helps lock in moisture and keeps skin feeling smooth for hours.
A Simple Routine That Works
Healthy skin doesn't have to be complicated.
By combining a botanical hydrosol with our handcrafted Face & Body Oil, you're giving your skin hydration first, then helping it stay there. The result is skin that feels softer, looks healthier, and maintains its natural balance without relying on heavy creams or synthetic ingredients.
At Olio Skin & Beard Co., we believe skincare should be simple, effective, and made with ingredients you can trust. Our handcrafted Face & Body Oil, paired with either our Rose or Lavender Hydrosol, is one of our favorite daily rituals, and once you try the combination, we think it may become yours too.
