Why You Should Switch to a Face Oil in Winter

As winter tightens its grip, we can often experience the seasonal change directly on our skin. The combination of falling temperatures, central heating, cold winds and humidity can all affect its overall condition. Itchiness, redness, dry patches and fine lines can all make an unwelcome appearance at this time of year. Thankfully we can look to mother nature for a simple skincare swap that will preserve and nourish our complexions until springtime!

Organic, natural face oils such as Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil, Rosehip Oil, Hemp Oil, Marula Oil and more have been the go-to skincare trick for countless women throughout history. 

Completely natural and non-toxic, face oils represent the perfect skincare ally for the winter season (and beyond!) Face oils are lipophilic, meaning they penetrate deep into the skin, delivering essential fatty acids that rebuild the hydrolipidic film and strengthen the skin. And they are so easy to use! Just a couple of drops applied to cleansed skin is all you need morning or evening to lock in moisture, soothe and keep your skin hydrated for hours. Facial oil can be used in place of your usual moisturizer, but it doesn’t have to replace any products you love: it can also be added as a step to enhance the products you already use.

Just some of our favourites here at BeautyFeatures HQ are the ultra-light and easily absorbed Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil, French sensation packed with Vitamin E NUXE Huile Prodigieuse, the award-winning Trilogy 100% Pure Rosehip Oil with Omega 3, 6 and 9 and the luxurious Decléor Aromessence Rose D’Orient Soothing Comfort Oil Serum.

As oils also help with collagen production, we recommend switching to a body oil particularly on areas with thin skin like the hands or chest. And, of course, no blog post on natural oil would be complete without a mention of Moroccanoil Treatment, the iconic lifesaver for your hair! Just a few drops on your ends will keep pesky split ends and dryness at bay.
