Because oils are lipophilic, or fat loving, they pass though the lipid layer of
the skin faster, preventing water loss and plumping skin with moisture more
effectively. If you apply an oil before your anti-aging cream, the oil
molecules behave like tiny Trojan horses, tricking the skin into letting active
ingredients deeper into the skin and
closer to the collagen-producing fibroblasts, all without irritating the
surface.
