It’s that time of year when frigid temps, bomb cyclones, and indoor heating silently wreak havoc on your skin, robbing it of precious moisture. On top of that, your daily face-washing routine may be stripping away natural oils that keep your skin looking fresh. Enter cleansing oils, which don’t have the surfactants that make skin drier and more sensitive. “Cleansing oils usually contain essential fatty acids that moisturize the skin, making it feel supple and soft. These ingredients trap the dirt, so they come off easily, rather than stripping away natural oils,” says Dr. Mark Gray, a dermatologist and founder of Ao Skincare. Which means this season may be the perfect time to give a cleansing oil a whirl. Scroll down to find one to work into your skin-cleansing routine STAT.
