Beauty oils are starting to make waves for their nourishing and glow properties. These all-purpose options offer similarly lightweight and nutrient-rich goodness, but each has a different scent, so pick one to suit your mood.
Rene Furterer 5 Sens Enhancing Dry Oil, $89.90.
A dry oil has everything you need in a moisturising agent: it’s intensely hydrating, richly nourishing, and gets absorbed quickly, without the grease that conventional beauty oils tend to leave behind. This particular silicone-free formula has a blend of five botanical oils – avocado, castor, jojoba, safflower and sweet almond – that provides hair and skin with vitamins and minerals for a healthy feel and shine. We sprayed it on our hair and arms one morning, and didn’t require any touch-ups for the entire day. It tames frizzy hair and calms skin redness, and we love how quickly the oil soaks in, leaving a silky finish and a pleasant woody scent.
