Tried garnier's miracle dry oil- hated it. Now I'm using coconut oil and grapeseed oil and I love it. :)

Interesting, I might try the oil for lips

I got samples of the Marula oil and the Clarins serum from Sephora and was extremely underwhelmed by both. The Marula oil smells terrible--like a cross between medicinal ointment and men's cologne--and did nothing for my combo dry/very oily skin. If high prices scare you I suggest going the sample route first so you can see if a product works for you before you commit to buy.

Coconut oil is a cheap and popular multi-purpose oil. :)

Thank you for helping me make sense of the myriad oils out there. I'm looking forward to trying some!

YES to monoi oil! I have Yves Rocher's monoi oil and love it. Bottle lasts *forever* bc you literally only need 2 drops! I use it on dry hair.

I thought Shu quit selling in the United States? Did they backtrack on that decision?

I would like to try the lip quench!

Great article however, again, the prices on the products!!! With the exception of the Garnier multi-oil and the Essie cuticle oil, they're all obscenely priced. That wouldn't bother me so much if I wasn't an oil junkie already and know that they don't have to be that expensive to be effective. I blend my own at home and highly recommend checking out Whole Foods and other organic/health/natural beauty resources for oils that are less expensive. You can get argan oil, rose hip seed oil, etc for much, much cheaper and they're just as effective.

i love oil-based clansing products, especially the ones that turn into an emulsion when in contact with water

I love Tarte's oil. It doesn't leave a greasy residue on my face like most oils.

I'm super excited to try the Josie Maran lip quench - I love high gloss lips!

The Garnier Fructis Miracle Dry Oil is horrible!!!! I have only tried it on my hair so far but it makes it super greasy! Plus if you actually spray it on your hair, the product falls on the floor and I had to mop it up before I fell. AND I recently started breaking out on my shoulders, of all weird places, and ALOT! This is the only different product I've been using, so this has to be the culprit!!!! Steer clear!

Informative article. I'm glad an affordable cuticle oil was listed because I have a terrible time with dry cuticles.

Oils are everywhere now! It's nice to get a break down like this of the leading oils and the concern(s) they target.

I talked to my stylist--oil-based hair color is supposed to be extremely gentle for hair (you can try Garnier's drugstore version). It needs to be done more frequently than other kinds, however, because it doesn't cover gray as thoroughly.

Oils have been used throughout the ages to soften, revive, protect, and invigorate (in the Bible itself there are many references to using oils for various reasons). They have been proven, and they do work! Nice range of oils presented in this piece.
