There is a simple solution to luminous complexion and hydrated skin in winters &#8211; a good face oil which locks the moisture in your skin. There are a ton of options in the market, deciding on which oil suits your skin needs can be tricky – we&#8217;ve spoken to the experts and done the ground work to pick out the multi-tasking beauty staples in the market – all you have to do is swipe your credit card and dab, dab&#8230;
How Do Oils Work?
Extracted from fruits and different parts of&nbsp;plants, oils are rich in fatty acids, amino acids,&nbsp;vitamins and antioxidants. More importantly, they&nbsp;contain linoleic and oleic acids, which not only (at&nbsp;least in the case of the former) help to prevent&nbsp;acne in oily complexions, but also lock in moisture&nbsp;to curb the ravages of dry skin. Softening the&nbsp;epidermis and penetrating deep into the layers&nbsp;of the dermis, they maximise the benefits of your&nbsp;other beauty products and boost hydration.

For those with sensitive skin or prone to eczema and acne breakouts, it’s important to choose face&nbsp;oils that are light in texture and eschew fragrance,&nbsp;paraben, alcohol and sodium lauryl sulphate, all of&nbsp;which may cause irritation and redness. Natural&nbsp;Japanese skincare brand Botanic Pretti5 infuses&nbsp;traditional Chinese medicine remedies such as&nbsp;snow mushroom, gold flower root and liquorice&nbsp;root extract into its products. Its Miracle Glow&nbsp;Facial Oil is a case in point, liberating the epidermis&nbsp;by soothing irritation and locking in moisture.&nbsp;Suitable for vegans and all skin types, it is rich in&nbsp;anti-inflammatory jojoba oil and squalene – a natural&nbsp;emollient found in olives, delivers a healthy bloom and&nbsp;protective shield to the complexion.
