Learn how to use The Oil Stick by Jones Road Beauty to hydrate dry spots, tame flakes, and add glow—anytime, anywhere.
Quick answer
Use The Oil Stick by Jones Road Beauty to glide a thin layer of oil directly onto dry spots or all over your face for instant suppleness. It works as a targeted treatment or a quick moisturizing touch-up.
Why a stick format works for targeted hydration
The Oil Stick is a multipurpose face oil in portable stick form, making it easy to apply exactly where you need it—no messy drops or spills. Its blend of coconut alkanes and high-performance oils (apricot, jojoba, rosehip, and sunflower) helps moisturize and soften skin on contact.
Unlike a traditional oil that you might warm in your hands, the stick lets you control the placement precisely. That makes it ideal for dry patches on your cheeks, nose, or forehead, and for quick touch-ups during the day.
When to use it in your routine
The Oil Stick can be used as a spot treatment or all over, so it fits into almost any skincare routine. For best results, apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer if you're using it as a treatment, or as the final step to lock in hydration. It also works well over makeup for a dewy finish.
Because it's a multipurpose formula, you can keep it in your bag and reapply whenever your skin feels tight or looks dull. Just remember that a little goes a long way—start with a light layer and build up if needed.
How to apply The Oil Stick
- Prep your skin: Start with clean, dry skin. If you're applying over makeup, make sure your face is free of excess oil or sweat so the stick glides on smoothly. Check that your skin is clean—oil won't absorb well on top of dirt or old makeup.
- Glide the stick onto dry areas: Swirl the stick directly onto dry spots—like your cheeks, nose, or forehead. For all-over application, draw a few lines on each cheek and your chin, then blend with your fingertips. Don't drag the stick too hard; a light touch prevents pulling your skin.
- Blend with your fingers: Use your ring or middle finger to gently pat and blend the oil into your skin. Avoid rubbing, which can disturb makeup or cause irritation. Patting helps the oil absorb better than rubbing.
- Layer with moisturizer or makeup: If using as a treatment, apply your regular moisturizer over the oil. For a dewy finish, use The Oil Stick as the last step—it sits beautifully on top of foundation or tinted moisturizer. Wait a minute between layers so each product can sink in.
- Reapply as needed: Keep the stick in your bag and reapply to dry spots throughout the day, especially after washing your face or spending time in air-conditioned rooms. A quick swipe can revive your glow without disturbing your makeup.
