Never thought of using a face oil? Well read on and you will soon wonder how you managed without.
When it comes to our skincare, let's face it, most of us are creatures of habit. We use the same brands and the same products year after year which is why, if you've never used a face oil, chances are you are scrunching up your nose just thinking about them. Well, unscrunch and read on because face oils can deliver more anti-oxidants than creams, can prevent possible irritation that creams can cause, last longer than creams and most importantly, can be more potent at plumping and firming the skin than creams can.
Here we give you three of our favourite face oils
Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil
If you are looking for a face oil with 100% natural goodness, then this one is the one for you. Containing 100% pure plant extracts including patchouli and blue orchid, it sinks in immediately and gets to work hydrating even the most moisture parched skin in a flash. What's more, thanks to the added hazelnut oil, skin is smoothed and protected from future moisture loss and the precious oil works to minimise the appearance of fine lines. And now, for a limited time only, oil fans can get the Blue Orchid Face Treatment in a limited edition, gold bottle - so your night stand will look as pretty as your skin.
Sisley Black Rose Oil
A true favourite over here at Singapore Tatler, Sisley's Black Rose Oil is one of the most luxurious oils you can get. Especially formulated for those with dry skin, and let's face it ladies, after a day under the air conditioning, who doesn't have dry skin, this oil not only repairs but prepares too. What are we talking about? Well, there's omega 3 and 6 to start with, which prepare the skin to receive product, then it also contains a hugely powerful blend of plant based active ingredients including avocado, to nourish, regenerate and protect. But best of all, with this oil is how soft it leaves your skin. Thanks to Bulgarian Rose and Magnolia, lines are smoothed, wrinkles diminished and skin looks smoother, and more radiant than ever before.
Caudalie Divine Oil
A true, international cult beauty buy, this oil not only nourishes but smells divine too. A blend of fine oils including grape and argan, the formula sinks into the skin easily while rejuvenating, nourishing and preventing from future moisture loss. There's also the matter of the shea butter which restores the skin and the extra virgin argan oil which firms skin, reducing fine lines. Now, onto the smell, thanks to pink peppercorns, Morocco rose and Bulgarian rose absolute, the smell is nothing short of divine. Think we are done? Not quite, this beauty of an oil can also be used on your hair, nails and even your body, when poured into your evening tub. Available at Sephora.
