Commercials can be so persuasive. Tell me if this has ever happened to you.
You see an ad or an infomercial for a magical moisturizer that promises to cure your exact skin issue. You buy it, you use it for a while, and…it’s aight dawg. It doesn’t rock your world like you thought it would. And now you’re stuck with this bottle or tub of stuff that’s meh at best, but you don’t want to throw it out because you spent beaucoup bucks to acquire it in the first place.
I’ve been there. I feel your pain. And I don’t believe in throwing pricey products away. I’m a big believer in making things work, and you can definitely do that with skincare. It’ll mean spending a little more money, but in the long run this is a solution to make your products work even better than they already do.
What’s the secret to making your skincare work for you? I recommend investing in a quality skincare oil. What I love about the new breed of skin oils, you can use them by themselves for intense moisture and antioxidant properties, OR you can mix a few drops into your existing moisturizers to amp up their quality and make your skincare work on your terms.
How do you know which oils to reach for? Luckily, I just broke all of this down over at Glam.com – click to read my post on essential hair oils. All of those oils also work for your skin, but the viscosity of the oil may not make you want to use them in different ways. For example, I love this xoVain post on using castor oil + grapeseed oil for oil cleansing, but I wouldn’t necessarily use castor oil as an overnight face moisturizer (it’s a bit too thick for my liking).
I add coconut, sweet almond, or jojoba oil to body lotions and butters. For my face, I tend to be a lot more picky. I’ve tried so many different kinds of face oils and serums. Allow me to share with you five awesome, unique oil recommendations you may not have tried yet – pricey. yes. But worth it!
M. Steves Ultra Nourishing Boost – this is a concentrated rosehip seed oil that you can use directly on your skin for intense hydration, or add to your skincare products to boost their effectiveness.
Josie Maran Argan Oil – sure, argan oil is super popular now but Josie Maran has been ahead of this craze for a while now. Her argan oil products are beloved for their purity. Recommended for hair, skin and nails.
Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil – Maracuja oil is cold pressed passion fruit oil, and it absorbs effortlessly into the skin. I use Tarte’s oil on its own, or layer it under my night cream. It’s not cheap, but if you live in a cold climate you will feel and notice the difference.
Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil – wait, what? Another oil you may not have ever heard of? Tsubaki is another name for Camellia oil, a staple in Japanese beauty. It’s also known as tea seed oil (NOT tea tree oil, that’s totally different). It’s a great source of fatty omega 3’s, and is beloved as a skin hydrator.
Anita Grant Japanese Camellia Kissi Oil – my first introduction to Japanese Camellia oil was Anita Grant – Anita Grant has AMAZING oils for skin and hair, bellas. She recommends her Camellia Kissi oil for natural hair, dry skin, keloids and scar tissue. It’s intense and effective.
Those are 5 amazing oil booster products I’ve tried and tested – not cheap, but totally worth it if you’re stepping up your skincare regimen.

That is really a good post. You made some really good points and I am grateful for your research. This information helps all of us to get rid from dark spots and skin problems.
I’ve always wanted to try skin oil, but afraid of clogged pores!
I love pure vegetable glycerin or shea butter for my skin. A little definitely goes a long way.
I’ve never really tried using oils to moisturize my face in the past but after reading this post, I may finally be convinced of doing so. Thanks for the recommendations. Like you, I’ve been victimized by those never-ending infomercials on TV! I spent thousands of dollars on beauty products but when they’re finally in my hands they tend to disappoint me. I will make sure never to fall for their deception again.
Read your post on oils for your hair but I am unclear do you simply apply a little bit of the oil to your hair or mix it with something. Sorry for a dumb question.
When they enter menopause, there are hundreds of solutions available in the market; however
you should go for natural quick hair loss treatment treatments.
However, before going for any treatment it is always advisable
to know the cause. The discovery could give hope to men and
women were suffering from hair problem, they loss hair as well.
I love this website. And I can’t stop reading.
There are many brands that offer the best moisturizing oil but they are just not as popular as the other well financed brands. For example I use K-BREE pure Argan oil and it’s just amazing, it became my daily routine now. My hair is shiny, my nails are stronger than ever and my skin is silky soft. this is where i got it from http://www.k-bree.com/#!k-bree-argan-oil/c1hb6

At this time it looks like Movable Type is the top blogging platform available
right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
these oils are so expensive! well because of the marketing behind it.
But for Camellia Oil, I’ve been using Oshima Tsubaki Camellia Oil – 100% pure and cold pressed. Got to know this brand from some users in youtube, I tried it and its great! Boscia’s priced at $48, but Oshima is less than $20 for 60 ml!
For Argan and Maracuja Oils, Josie Maran and Tarte brands first come to mind. But like Camellia Oil (Boscia vs Oshima), I’m sure there are genuine and cheaper alternative brands out there! I’m on a quest to find out!
