For a long time, face oils had a reputation for causing breakouts, but the right formulas can actually be incredibly soothing and hydrating — especially for dry skin.

They help seal in moisture, support the skin barrier, and create the perfect dewy base under makeup. These are the face oils that have earned a permanent spot in my routine!

1. REN Evercalm Barrier Support Elixir

This lightweight oil absorbs almost instantly and feels barely there on the skin. It's designed to calm irritation and reduce redness, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types. Because it nourishes without feeling heavy, it's easy to use every night and even works well during the day when an extra boost of moisture is needed.

2. Eve Lom Radiance Renewal Oil

Formulated with ceramides and a blend of ten different oils, this option delivers deep hydration and a smooth, luxurious texture. It provides plenty of slip, making it a great partner for Gua Sha or face massage. While it doesn't absorb quickly, it leaves the skin feeling plump, hydrated, and comforted — perfect for pampering routines or evenings when the skin needs extra nourishment.

3. Beekman 1802 Oh! Mega Milk

This oil has a milky, silky texture that feels richer than a typical oil yet still remains lightweight on the skin. It includes goat milk and probiotics to help balance and soften dry skin. Despite its creamy consistency, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind a greasy residue, making it a dependable choice for daily use.

Face oils can be transformative for dry skin, and these three stand out for how effortlessly they nourish, soothe, and elevate a nighttime or daytime routine!
