Face Oils

BonesAndOil · 29-01-2013

I've read quite a bit about face oils recently and was curious if anyone currently uses them in their skincare routines. They can be quite expensive (Fresh's elixir ancien oil is $300 here...) So I'd like some feedback before I invest in an oil.

I've heard some good things about Bobbi Brown's extra face oil, and it seems reasonably priced.

I use oil for my skin pretty much exclusively. I like to mix my own. Currently, I add a couple of drops of lavender and a few drops of grapefruit oil to some rose oil. Love it!

Thanks for opening the thread. I just recently got interested in face oils and I'm not sure which one to purchase yet. I've heard a lot of good things about Aesop's Fabulous Facial oil but it would be nice to read about other products too.

Great thread! If your looking to mix your own oil, I know you can start out with olive oil or castor oil and add to that. Tea Tree oil is also really good for your face. Its pretty strong so its sold in small bottles.

Do you cleanse, tone and then apply the oil? And how often do you apply? I have so many questions haha

I love Shu Uemura purifying cleansing oil. I put it on and let it set for a few min.. up to 30 min... sometimes if I have a blemish, it starts to surface with it on. So when it is time to remove it, i use some water to suds it up on my face and then wash it off. It keeps my skin pretty soft and hydrated.
