Now that the new year is here, it’s finally time to make a resolution that is easy to keep: taking care of your skin. After all, who wants to spend 2012 with their face looking like a dehydrated piece of fruit? (And, if you’re anything like me, making a declaration to keep your skin lovely is way easier then putting down that second cookie.)

This is why I strongly suggest adding a new product to your skin care arsenal–facial oils. Now I know many of you might be thinking “ick.” But I promise this little product is perfect for all skin types, and if you use the right one, many of your skin care concerns can be solved.

Oils can help calm the skin in those blistering cold winter months, but also help regulate oil production so your mug can be bright and beautiful all year long. They work well mixed with moisturizers, can be used alone, and you can apply them over your makeup during the day without messing up your already-made-up-face, making these babies perfect for just about everyone.
