All of us know how essential oil is to maintaining moisture when it comes to our hair, but the same can be said when it comes to our skin, especially in the winter. Oils add an extra protective layer against dryness and free radicals when added to moisturizers and, surprisingly, they can even help balance oil production when applied to oily skin. Best used at night to ensure proper absorption and prep skin for the next day, here are nine face oils that can help you turn back the hands of time in the new year.

Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil Light $48

We know you’ve heard of and likely used argan oil on your hair before and Josie Maran is notorious for infusing this hydrating ingredient into its product line. If argan oil’s thick consistency has you thinking twice about taking the dive, opt for this light version which provides deep moisturize but absorbs quickly, leaving a semi-matte finish.

Tarte Maracuja Oil $48

Maracuja fruit is rich in vitamin C and essential fatty acids which makes this vegan oil a good choice to noursh and brighten skin. It can also be mixed into your foundation for a non-greasy dewy finish which will also add moisture and provide anti-aging and antioxidant benefits.
