Facial Oil can keep skin supple year-round. With a close affinity to the natural oils in our skin, it’s readily absorbed and perfect for keeping your complexion hydrated.
While your daily cleanse, moisture cream and sunscreen are still non-negotiable, you may wish to pop in a facial oil, too (use it after cleansing and prior to moisturising). It can amp up the moisture factor, for dry skin types and many formulas even help to balance troubled complexions.
Here, six facial oils we’ve been loving of late.
Q+A Super Food Facial Oil
This swiftly absorbed oil is brimming with antioxidant vitamins. Think: A, C, E and F, as well as a good dose of essential fatty acids, which help to keep your skin barrier strong. It’s calming and hydrating, making it ideal for dry and/or sensitive complexions.
Mediskin Saver Age Defying CoQ10 Facial Oil
One of supermodel Elle McPherson’s faves, this oil contains rosehip oil, vitamins A, C and E, Rosemary Leaf Extract and CO Enzyme Q10. Its target? Dry and dehydrated skin, as well as skin that is showing signs of ageing, such as fine lines and crepey-ness. It drenches skin with moisture, while at the same time absorbing quickly to leave no greasy residue.
Recreation Beauty Vibrant Skin Face Oil
This golden drop is Australian-made and 100 percent vegan. It has been lovingly created with 25 pure plant extracts, including bakuchiol, which is a potent antioxidant and a non-irritating, natural retinol alternative, plus a special sea greens blend. This stunning facial oil is suited to all skin types. Dry skins will love its thirst quenching properties, while oilier complexions will love the balancing benefits it brings.
Retreatment Botanics Restore Serum
Created by Australia’s sweetheart Olivia Newton-John, this stunning oil relies on the benefits of native Australian plant extracts to work its magic. With native sandalwood seed, wild rosella flower and Kakadu plum, it packs an antioxidant punch, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and restore the skin’s luminosity. Omega 3 and 9 essential fatty acids strengthen the skin’s protective barrier, while ethically-sourced Amazonian Buriti Fruit, rich in vitamins A and C, offers powerful anti-ageing benefits.
