Skin oils have become a beauty staple in recent years, even for those with oilier complexions. Find the right one for your skin and you’ll see benefits including more hydrated skin and better absorption of anti-aging products. Here are three face oils to consider.
GO NUDE
NUDE Skincare ProGenius Rescue Oil promises retinol-like results with Bakuchiol — a natural alternative to retinol — that smooths and refines skin without the negative effects that retinol can cause. Other ingredients including rosemary, thyme and organic rose hip oil help smooth and nourish the skin. It costs $68 at Sephora stores and Sephora.com.
DYNAMITE ODACITE
From the organic skincare line by Valerie Grandury comes Odacite Green Tea Lemongrass Serum Concentrate, one of 18 serums that you can mix and match to address your specific skincare needs. A blend of camellia seed, vitamin E and lemongrass oils helps revitalize skin when you mix two or three drops with moisturizer day and night. It costs $39 at Bluemercury, 37 W. Paces Ferry NW, Atlanta and Bluemercury.com.
HEALING KIEHL’S
Boost your skin's daytime defenses with Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate. The mix of ginger root essential oils, tamanu and sunflower seed botanical oils is quickly absorbed into skin and helps reduce the signs of aging. This oil is specifically designed for daytime use and should be applied to clean skin each morning after any serum and before creams. It costs $46 at Kiehl's, Lenox Square, 3393 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta or online at www.kiehls.com.
