Tried and tested: Face oils for all skin types
“Pleasantly scented, this very intense nourishing oil really coats the skin in a luxurious, oily veil, so is best used at night.
"Because it’s so rich, it took time to sink in with gentle massaging movements.
"It felt like it was hydrating my thirsty skin, and handily, the leftover doubles up as a nail oil for my cuticles.”
“Packed with shea and marula oils, this left my skin soft, supple and silky smooth, without any sticky or shiny residue.
I only needed a couple of drops at a time, warming it up in my hands before applying to my face.
You can use it before your regular moisturiser but the oil is so nourishing, I didn’t bother with my usual cream.”
“To begin with, the recommended three or four drops wasn’t nearly enough for my dry skin, but once I’d tripled that dose, it really worked.
"Extremely light, the oil soaks right in and doesn’t feel at all greasy, and over time has made my winter-ravaged skin feel more moisturised, especially when used overnight.”

BEAUTY BULLETIN
Youthfulness is considered the holy grail when it comes to beauty, but the results of a new poll by www.FeelUnique.com reveal our idols aren’t all fresh-faced ingenues.
When asked which celebrities have the most enviable lips, Angelina Jolie (40) came top, followed by Sophia Loren (81) and Julia Roberts, who’s 48.
That doesn’t mean we’re all about to rush out in search of lip-plumping surgery, however, as 80% of the women surveyed said they are already ‘really pleased’ with the way their lips look.
