Oils for Head to Toe

by Hannah Smith

Now that we’re officially in winter, lots of changes are coming to our routines. This season, hydration is key in as many ways as possible, including but not limited to drinking lots of extra water, using hyaluronic acids, applying thicker creams, and using as many oils as possible. Oils, if you don’t use them already, are so important when it comes to proper hydration –­ they act as a humectant to lock in the layers beneath, ensuring no moisture loss and optimal moisture. Looking for an oil for every nook and cranny? Look no further. 

Body

This might not be an oil per say, but that’s exactly what makes this product so great. To put it simply, we don’t always have the time to be sitting down, waiting for a thick oil to fully absorb. We’ve got places to be and people to see! This body serum is the answer to our prayers – infused with thick oils like argan and tsubaki, it delivers deep hydration, while Vitamin C and Holy Basil extracts reduce environmental damage that might advance signs of aging.

Facial oils are super polarizing, either you love them or you don’t. If you love em, let me urge you to try this clarifying and hydrating oil from The Buff. Formulated to be both intensely hydrating (thanks to jojoba oil) and safe for blemish-prone skin (courtesy of rosehip and clary sage oil), this oil is easy to use for all skin types. 

Nails

Don’t forget your poor cuticles in this dry weather! The extra thin skin present on your nailbeds is much more prone to drying up, so treating them is the smallest luxury you never knew you needed. This nail and cuticle oil from French Girl is perfect for that delicate skin. Combining thick argan, nourishing sea-buckthorn, repairing hemp, and lightly scented essential oils, this blend will leave you hydrated and lightly perfumed, perfect for a mid-day pick me up or an end of day ritual. 

Hair

When it comes to hair oils, sticking with the OG will never disappoint. This Moroccanoil Treatment is what really put argan oil on the map. As a thicker oil, argan is great to nourish damaged hair, help manage the current state of your hair, help with styling, to condition, and for so much more. In addition, the faint but iconic smell will linger in your hair for days, leaving all those you come across to wonder, “Did they just get a blow out?” 

Feet

Never thought to oil your feet, did you? This TheraTree Foot Oil is an unsung hero and something you never thought you needed, but will soon be unable to live without. With incredibly anti-inflammatory neem oil to act as a carrier (neem is typically used for calming acne, rosacea, and burns), this oil aims to hydrate and reduce any irritation and swelling from the day. Tea tree essential oil is also present, as it’s largely antiseptic and helps to kill odor-causing bacteria.
