Living and working for months in heated rooms is not that profitable for any skin: in fact it’s disastrous. The damage is hard to repair, so prevent. An overload of anti-dehydration and moisturizers products makes it also hard to pick the right one. My favourite was already launched last year: Black Rose Precious Face Oil by Sisley. It’s Sisley’s first skin care oil for dry, or mature skin, and I am hooked. 

It wasn’t love at first sight. When testing the oil - packed in a bottle as an inkpot with a dropper - I actually wasn’t sure it was for me. I thought the oil was very greasy. My fault. I added to much drops of the running oil on my face. Just four drops, instead of the advised seven are enough. The greasy feeling absorbs very quickly. 

I apply it twice a day, in the morning (skip your moisterizer! ) and evening. Black Rose Precious Face Oil is highly concentrated and rich in omega 3 and 6. Plum and camelina oils maintain the lipid balance of the epidermis, and are combined with essential oils of the sweet smelling Bulgarian rose and magnolia. Plus: this face oil visibly smooths wrinkles and fine lines. It’s not that low-priced (€ 162, 25 ml), but you can skip your moisturizer.
