Beauty Column: Facial oils to rehydrate your weathered skin

By Orin Carlin, Style Editor

The Croft Magazine // Winter weather sapping the life out of your skin? Rehydrate your skin with a drop or two of facial oil to bring back your radiance.

If you suffer from dry skin, i.e. lacking in oil, the winter weather can wreak havoc on your poor face. The combination of chilly temperatures, central heating blasts and blustery gales will likely leave you flaky, uncomfortable and chapped. Enter facial oils, the only solution worth talking about.

While I do not recommend oils for daytime usage - they will not provide a good base for makeup - they are perfect for slathering on just before bed so you can wake up feeling comfortably moisturised.

REN Facial Oil, £28 | Space NK

REN’s Vita Mineral Omega 3 Optimum Skin Serum Oil is an old favourite of mine. It is absorbed very easily and does not feel at all greasy but instead leaves your skin feeling lovely and supple.

Superdrug Facial Oil, £3.49 | Superdrug

If you are at the end of your loan and strapped for cash, Superdrug’s Vitamin E Skin Oil is an excellent alternative. It does not absorb as easily as the REN but if you can cope with that it offers great moisture at an affordable price point.
