Doesn't it annoy you when your skin is bumpy at some parts, ultra oily in other areas, and flaky everywhere else? Your skin is in dire need of balance, so Aesop's Fabulous Facial Oil is perfect for that. Juniper berry oil's astringent properties keep excess oil at bay, while jasmine petal oil's hydration-boosting properties will nourish dry, flaky skin to help reduce its appearance. Finally, ylang-ylang oil will provide overall balancing effects so the skin is smooth and glowing after continued use. Photo: Aesop

For skin that's constantly exposed to high levels of pollution, you'll be familiar with the feeling of bumps on the surface, dullness and the appearance of fine lines. Fend off these effects with Caudalie's Vine [Activ] Overnight Detox Night Oil. Infused with antioxidant grape seed oil, detoxifying oils of sandalwood and carrot, soothing lavender oil and revitalising oils of petit grain, rose and sweet almond, your skin will be clearer, smoother and looking more radiant every morning after each use.

Most skin types will benefit from Chanel's Huile de Jasmin, the brand's latest face oil that is infused with jasmine extracts which provides mild anti-ageing benefits and hydrating properties. Photo: Chanel

Dehydration is terrible for all skin types. Oilier skin types who suffer from dehydration will observe excess oil production (to compensate for moisture loss), meaning the chances of getting acne is higher; whereas drier skin types who suffer from dehydration will notice flakiness and increased sensitivity due to micro tears from lack of resilience. Sunday Riley's Flora face oil provides instant relief with its ultra hydrating and nourishing concoction which includes various types of luxurious rose oils. Photo: Sunday Riley

When you neglect your skin, it quietly deteriorates, leaving it susceptible to damage and the result is rough, patchy skin that has seen better days. Enter Sulwhasoo's Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Essential Oil that is packed with nourishing ginseng extracts. Along with mineral-dense sesame and Camellia oils to restore your skin's resilience, this potion allows for skin that's well-equipped to face the world. Photo: Sulwhasoo.

So you've been feeding yourself with nutrient-dense food, and working out to keep toxins out of your body...

The light lavender scent also aids in relaxing the senses so you fall asleep better and also soothes irritated skin. Put that all together and you'll wake up with skin that's well-rested and adequately nourished. Photo: Skin Inc.
