Winter Skin: Three Face Oils That Keep Moisture In

When the temperature drops, skin loses water faster and can feel tight, dull, and easily irritated. Adding a few drops of the right oil to your routine helps seal in hydration, soften rough spots, and cushion skin against wind and indoor heat.

Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids. It sinks in quickly, layers well under moisturizer, and helps soften the look of dryness without feeling greasy—great for restoring suppleness on cold days.

Rosehip seed oil delivers lightweight nourishment with naturally occurring vitamins A and C. It’s a go-to when skin looks uneven or lackluster, helping support a smoother, more radiant appearance over time.

Jojoba oil closely mimics skin’s own sebum, making it a safe bet for most skin types—including combination and oil-prone. It helps balance the feel of skin while reducing the look of flaking.

How to use: After cleansing, apply your usual serum and moisturizer, then press 2–3 drops of oil over damp skin to lock everything in. Use at night for recovery, or morning and night during the coldest weeks. Always patch-test first and adjust frequency based on how your skin responds.
