Fall/Winter is when my skin is at its driest and light oils are what I reach out to the most. I like them on their own, or to mix in with moisturizers for richer, deep hydration. Three oils I've been loving putting on my face of late are the Josie Maran Argan Oil Light, Melvita Argan Oil Roll-On for Face & Lips and the Orico Superico Vitamin Rich Face Oil.
Josie Maran Argan Oil Light ($14-$48) - Its a lighter version of the classic Argan Oil by Josie Maran and something I like better mixed it in with lighter moisturizers than by itself. Read a full review of this oil here. It has a weird oil-like scent and takes a while to completely sink in, but definitely retains moisture pretty well.
Orico Superico Vitamin Rich Face Oil ($47) - I absolutely love everything about this one - the wonderful herbal scent, the light texture and how amazingly well it nourishes my skin. Its a concoction of various oils, yet absorbs super fast and keeps my dry skin super hydrated. Its a tad expensive, but a little goes a long way. Orico is not the most easiest to find, but their products are fantastic and so is this oil. My new favorite for the cold weather season!
Melvita 100% Argan oil Roll On For Face & Lips ($15) - Its a 100% pure argan oil in a super convenient roll on form. Its a nice way of moisturizing dry spots when you don't want to slather your whole face with oil. Its quite rich, very moisturizing and works wonders on cuticles too. I haven't tried it on my lips, but its a great one to have in your purse while traveling. As much as I like Melvita, I think their products not sold through their US website anymore. The UK website ships to the US, but I'm not sure of the shipping costs.
Have you tried any of these facial oils?
