Does anyone moisturise with plain oils instead of creams?

Just as above really! I seem to get less skin reactions from using plain oils (coconut, almond, rosehip etc) to moisturise my face and body rather than creams. Does anyone else do this? And how long have you done this for?

Yes, I switched to plain jojoba oil a few yesrs ago. It works really well and has probably saved me a lot of money!

I do use suncream too if I'm going to be out.

Yes, have been using Egyptian Magic as a moisturiser for almost a year. Skin is healthier and I have less break outs so seems to work for me.

Yes. I have incredibly sensitive and dry skin. I use bio oil which is not cheap but it works well for me.

I'm on holiday and just packed vitamin E facial oil due to ridiculous luggage weight restrictions. It's been a week and a half and looking good! Might keep it up.

Yes, I buy almond oil in bulk and add (pure, good quality essential oil like Tisserand) to it.
