Once described as “liquid gold”, olive oil benefits include:

Olive Oil is another powerhouse oil that benefits your skin when you use it on the inside and outside. By the way, it also makes a fantastic makeup remover.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil has many benefits for skincare:

• Apply it to your lips. You will find that it brings moisture back to your lips and leaves them with a soft lush look
• Rejuvenates your skin
• Fights against wrinkles, age spots and blemished with antioxidant compounds that increase your skins elasticity, minimizes the appearance of wrinkles and provides you with a youthful glow

Admittedly, we all have different needs for our dry winter skin. As you can see from this list not all facial oils are the same. Some can nourish the skin, some protect the skin and there are some that can potentially irritate your skin — so do your research, test them out and check with your dermatologist.

All of these oils can be found in some of my favorite products. Check them out here:
