Is anyone using face oil - I read its the recommended treatment now for fine lines, wrinkles etc - if so which one please?

I use Bio oil occasionally if my skin is dry . Works very well

I used to use Boots Botanics face oil, but then found Waitrose Pure. Just as good at around £2.99!

Oh, that sounds a good deal, J52 smile I find that any facial oil under moisturiser improves my skin - it's very --wrinkly- dry. I've just put some in my online Sainsbury's order - Palmer's Cocoa Butter Skin Therapy Oil, which was one of the few available on there but seems to get good reviews. Sanctuary Spa Therapist's Secret Facial Oil has been my favourite so far, about £12 for 30ml.

Argon Oil is good, and a little goes a long way.

I use oil mixed in with my moisturiser - I use Tropic Skincare - www.tropicskincare.com - an excellent range using pure, naturally derived ingredients. Not tested on animals, all products are free from parabens, alcohol, lanolin, gluten, unsustainable palm oils and many more......

Well my Therapy Oil has arrived. It contains retinol, and dire warnings that whilst using it I should wear sunblock and protective clothing, and, oh, limit exposure to the sun. A proper summer treat this has turned out to be grin

I use No 7 Face Oil at night under my moisturiser. I also use it on the area below my neck which was damaged by too much sun last year.

Sorry - should have said it really appears to have repaired that area which was very dry and lined

Body Shop Oils of life range is wonderful, sinks in beautifully. Rosehip oil is lovely too and very beneficial for your skin. I use a lot of acids in my routine so I like to add oil every night to really hydrate my skin.

Coconut oil, available from Aldi. It's solid, but you warm it up between your palms and can use it on your face, arms and legs, wherever it looks a bit dry.I like the smell too.

And, of course, you can cook with it too. You'll find it among the cooking oils rather than the beauty products.
