Beauty junkies are going crazy over oils. Here are 5 ways to use them
1) DROPS OF YOUTH
As anti-ageing products, oils are being used to house active ingredients and reinforce the lipid barrier. Apply as a serum to deeply treat skin concerns or add to your face moisturiser.
Try: Eucerin Elasticity+ Filler Facial Oil, 30ml, R400
2) PRIME TIME
Priming your face with oil is all the rage. Lighter than conventional silicone-based primers, primer oil is non-greasy, making it perfect for makeup that needs a more hydrated base.
Try: Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil, 30ml, R500
3) CLEAN AGENT
The evolution of beauty tech has given rise to texture morphing cleansing oils. Great for oily and dry skin, they prevent moisture being stripped from the skin as well as add hydration.
Try: Dior Hydra Life Oil To Milk Cleanser, 200ml, R580
4) MOISTURE BOOSTER
In winter, dry oils can be mixed into your face moisturiser or foundation to give your products more hydrating power without the grease.
Try: Kiehl's Daily Reviving Concentrate, 30ml, R815
5) TEXTURE PLAY
Night oil treatments packed with regenerative properties could be your next form of beauty sleep. Oil textured masks or oil capsules are the new kids on the block.
Try: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Recovery Mask-in-Oil, 30ml, R840..
