The holiday hustle is REAL: malls, grocery stores, the post office, picking up and dropping off, holiday parties and events, the hunt for the right gift for that hard-to-shop-for person (last year was brutal) — you're up and at 'em pretty much until New Year's Day. This means by the time you put all those miles on your sweet little feet, they're really, really mad at you. We're talking aches and pains that seem to run all the way up and down your legs through your toes and back again. Ouch.
Lotions and creams get a lot of attention, but let's not forget another moisturizing skin hero: face oil. Whether a pure blend of, say, camellia or a mixture of some of the finest oils one can pat into their skin, face oil can make a mega difference when added to your regimen. In terms of skin care, it adds another layer of hydration between your serum and face cream that even oily skin types can benefit from. In terms of makeup, it's a versatile tool — add a drop to your beauty blender for easier blending or add a couple drops to your foundation for a more luminous finish.
