I think face oils have to be my favourite step in my skin care routine, I love how silky and luxurious they feel when applied and as someone with dehydrated skin, I really need the extra moisture. However, using oils as part of your routine definitely isn't limited to dry/dehydrated skin types, oily skins actually benefit from the extra hydration, causing them to stop over producing oil which helps to reduce breakouts and any oiliness throughout the day.
My first pick is the Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil. Aimed at dehydrated skin types, this dreamy scented oil contains pure plant extracts of Rosewood, Patchouli, Hazelnut Oil and of course Blue Orchid. I apply this as the last step before my moisturiser in the evenings and wake up to soothed and hydrated skin. Rosewood contains antibacterial properties making this oil the perfect choice for anyone with dehydrated skin that still suffers from acne or the occasional breakout.
Next up is the Sarah Chapman Skinesis Overnight Facial. This oil/serum hybrid must be the best known product from the line, and with good reason. The light textured oil is a wonderful all rounder, hydrating, plumping, brightening - it really is a facial in a bottle. This one also smells incredible, scented with Jasmine, Frangipani, Rose and Tuberose its a treat to apply in the evenings.
Lastly, designed with overworked skin in mind is the Caudalie Polyphenol C15 Overnight Detox Oil. Perfect for anyone exposed to a lot of UV light or pollution, this oil works to detoxify, purify and soothe. Personally, I wouldn't say I'm exposed to a great deal of pollution or UV light (no more than the usual amount anyway) but I love using this oil for any times my skin feels congested, rough in texture and generally unhappy.
What are your face oil recommendations? Personally I'd love to try something from Sunday Riley's line but funnily enough I'm just not in the position to drop £85 pounds on a skincare product right now (or ever). Are they really worth it!? Let me know your thoughts!
