When it’s cold outside and the heat is on, our skin needs extra attention.
Of course, nothing beats time in a steam room or infrared sauna. But when your schedule is too busy for the full spa experience, adding a hydrating face oil into your routine can really help combat dry skin.
Below, Team Poosh shares our favorite face oils to get you through the winter.
Best Skin Ever Seabuckthorn
Price: $40
Living Libations
“I was actually gifted this at our Poosh Holiday dinner, and I’ve never loved a face oil more. I’m usually very particular about what I put on my face. I never like trying new products. I always stick to what I know. But I was intrigued, knowing this sea buckthorn oil both cleanses and hydrates the skin. I use it almost every morning to cleanse my face without stripping away all the natural oils that build up overnight. I have normal to oily skin, so this product acts as a perfect balancer. I also like to use a few drops as a moisturizer before going to bed, as it provides a yummy, natural glow.” — Alexa Gutierrez, Content Coordinator
Organic Beauty Facial Oil
Price: $35
Honest
“It’s a quality, clean, and organic oil for a great price. It smells amazing and absorbs well. I don’t have acne-prone skin, so I use this all year round for a dewy glow. In the winter, I really layer it on, and I also use it in the mornings when I gua sha. — Jess Delaney, Brand Partnerships & PR
Éclat Midy
Price: $146
Olivier Midy
“I absolutely fell in love with this face oil, and my wallet will never forgive me. The good news is it only takes a few drops to cover my face and decolletage—plus a little extra left over for my hands. It’s not greasy or sticky and contains so many antioxidants (like, so many). The fact that it’s French and has super chic packaging certainly doesn’t hurt, either.” — Allie Flinn, Wellness Editor
Active Botanical Serum
Price: $195
Vintner's Daughter
“I have really sensitive skin, so I’m hyperaware of beauty products that contain synthetic fragrances and often opt for moisturizers that are fragrance-free. The all-natural combination of oils in Vintner’s Daughter smells amazing, plumps up dry skin, and it’s great for anyone with sensitive skin.” — Shannon Nash, Content Director
Antioxidant Facial Oil
Price: $26
MadHippie
“I’ve tried many face oils, but always end up going back to the MadHippie face oil. That’s how you know I really love it. This antioxidant face oil has so many powerful, clean ingredients that makes such a noticeable difference in the hydration of my skin. It feels so luxe on my skin and smells amazing. I love using the Senia facial steamer, followed by facial cupping and gua sha with the MadHippie oil for a little at-home spa experience. — Lindsay Posocco, Marketing Manager
Midnight Recovery Concentrate Face Oil
Price: $135
Kiehl's
“This was the first real skincare product I ever used. (I’m not going to count Clean & Clear Morning Burst.) And the immediate change I saw in my skin was eye-opening. Every night I used this during college, I woke up to plump, dewy (not oily), less red skin. It was like witnessing a miracle. It’s one of the few products that has stayed in my rotation for over a decade.” — Erika Harwood, Managing Editor
