Does anyone moisturise with plain oils instead of creams?

[SoapCollector]

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.

Yes, I switch between almond oil, wheatgerm oil and avocado oil. I’ve been using them for about 10 or 15 years, since my skin turned sensitive post menopause. I tried coconut oil but that was too greasy although it smelt divine. I don’t use cosmetic oils because they add extra ingredients. I buy them from the grocery counter or Holland and Barrett.

I make my own blend of oil with rosehip seed oil, sweet almond then ylang ylang and rose. It smells so good and soaks in well.

Yes, rosehip seed oil is amazing! My skin is much better after switching from commercial moisturisers. Less greasy and minimal breakouts now.

Yes! Jojoba oil. I use it as a cleanser and moisturiser. It’s meant to be the closest thing to our own sebum, which is what protects our skin.
works really well for me. Most commercial skincare is a scam.

I’ve been using straight up baby oil to moisturise every day for about 15 years, I use it to shave, cleanse, moisturise my body and, horrifyingly to some, on my face twice a day.

I use rosehip oil.

So do I, although I mix it with my moisturiser. I haven't yet found another way to stop it leaving yellow marks on everything.

Wow! Thank you all for the replies and recommendations. It seems that using oil is working well for others too 😁

I switched from rose hip oil to this one- much calmer skin
