Best Vegan Face Oils : How to use them Daily and Weekly
Face oils are one of the simplest ways to keep your skin nourished, glowing, and protected. But with so many options — rosehip oil, calendula oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E and more — it can be confusing to know which ones to use every day, and which work best as a weekly skin treatment.
At Qlean Beauty, we’ve done the research for you. Here’s your ultimate guide to the best vegan face oils and how to include them in your routine.
✨ Best Vegan Face Oils for Daily Use
🌹 Rosehip Oil
Lightweight and rich in vitamins A and C, rosehip oil helps brighten the complexion, fade marks, and support collagen. It absorbs quickly and layers well under moisturiser or sunscreen — making it one of the best daily face oils. This oil can also work wonders overnight even over your night mask!
🌿 Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is often called the “balancing oil” because its structure is so close to your skin’s natural sebum. It hydrates without clogging pores, making it ideal for oily, combination, and dry skin types. Even though it can be more expensive, the pure Jojoba or the organic Jojoba oil is worth it!
🌼 Best Vegan Face Oils for Weekly Treatments
🌼 Calendula Oil (Infused Oil)
Known for its calming properties, calendula oil soothes redness, irritation, and stressed skin. While it’s gentle enough for frequent use, most people enjoy it as a weekly calming skin ritual. Eczema and psoriasis love this oil and it will calm down inflammation. Find products with Calendula Oil as one of the main ingredients because you will most likely not find or can’t afford the essential oil on its own. It is also amazing for stretch marks and as an overnight neck and décolletage super glow.
✨ Vitamin E Oil Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental stressors and locks in hydration. Because it's so thick, either blend it with lighter oils (like Rosehip Oil) or apply to skin as a spot treatment on eczema and psoriasis. Trust me, I have tried this, and it worked! It takes the sting out of sore skin straight away. Vitamin E oil is very expensive as well, but you only use a tiny amount, or add to a carrier oil like Rosehip Oil and apply more often.
🗓️ How to Use Face Oils in Your Routine
Morning:
- Apply 2–3 drops of rosehip or jojoba oil to skin before sunscreen.
- These lightweight oils absorb quickly and won’t leave you greasy.
Evening:
- Massage rosehip oil onto clean skin for overnight repair.
- Boost hydration and antioxidant protection by adding a drop of vitamin E oil or find one that is combined.
Weekly Skin Ritual:
- Use a balm or a cream with calendula oil as the hero ingredient 1–2 times a week to calm sensitivity.
- Add a vitamin E blended carrier oil to your weekly night routine for deep nourishment.
💡 Tips for Using Face Oils Safely
- Always use 2–4 drops — less is more.
- Apply oils on damp skin to help them absorb better.
- Remember: oils seal in hydration — they don’t replace moisturiser.
- Patch test before using a new oil, especially vitamin E.
🌸 Qlean Beauty’s Recommendation
- Everyday balance: Jojoba + Rosehip Oil
- For sensitive skin: Calendula Oil blend
- Weekly repair: Rosehip + Vitamin E at night. Our Organic Rosehip + E Oil is a perfect example.
