There was a time that adding oils to your beauty routine was thought of as a big no no… but we’re here to tell you that if you haven’t done so yet, you’re missing out.
Oils do a whole host of wondrous things for your skin and hair, like nourishing and hydrating, conditioning skin and preventing ingrown hairs, and even reducing the signs of aging. And did we mention they even come in the form of that stunning but sheer wash of lip color that everyone is wearing this spring?
If you’re ready to give an oil or two a try as part of your beauty routine, start with one (or more!) of our faves below!
Highborn Moon Saber Neroli & Blue Tansy Topical CBD
This micro-batch fragrance rollerball has all sorts of goodness going on. Featuring a blend of 420mg full-spectrum CBD oil to help you feel grounded, the delicate florals of Blue Tansy balances your aura while bold and bright Neroli soothes your mood. Plus, it’s vegan, sustainably sourced, cruelty-free and paraben free.
Gold Camelia Beauty Oil
This unique oil smells amazing, goes on like a dream and smells divine. Accented with flecks of 24k gold, it’s actually a multi-tasker that works for face, hair and body to nourish and add radiance. We love using it as the last step of our morning skincare routine, after moisturizing.
Essential Corrective Complex
To the acne-prone out there, this one’s for you! With a blend of tea tree oil, white thyme oil and juniper oil, this calming, non-drying blemish solution minimizes the appearance of pores, breakouts and oily-shine. Our colleague swears it gets rid of pimples overnight. Poof!
Milk Sunshine Oil
Made to be portable with an easy click-pen dispenser, this yummy nourishing oil moisturizes using grape seed, avocado, grapefruit peel, mandarin orange peel, and lemon peel oils combines to offer intense hydration. It works awesome on cuticles, but you can also use it on face and body, wherever you want.
Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum
You’ve probably heard of this mythical oil, and if you haven’t, let us fill you in: it was created by a vintner’s daughter (geddit?) who took the principles of wine making and adapted it to skin care. The result is a luxurious blend of highly effective oils that fight the signs of aging and create radiant skin, in just five to six drops.
Naturium Virgin Marula Face Oil
No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you… this 100% Virgin Marula Oil is just $16! And you still get all the amazing properties of this miracle oil at such an affordable price. It’s lightweight, ultra hydrating to nourish and smooth skin, and it helps restore a healthy glow. Just use a few drops after your serum but before your moisturizer, and you’ll be good to go.
Lapis Facial Oil
This is another good one for blemish-prone skin. Made of precious Blue Tansy oil, this luxurious treatment includes Azulene, which aids in soothing dry irritated skin, reducing the appearance of redness and giving your face a bit of balance. We recommend using it with their Lapis Facial Roller to reduce the appearance of puffiness and soothe redness and blemishes… or, you could go for the Lapis Ritual Kit and get all that, plus a lapis Gua Sha tool, too.
