In the depths of winter, my skin prefers oil as a moisturizer which could be a little scary for those who have oily skin, but fear not — you just need a teensy bit and your skin will thank you for it.

For a few years, I had been using Dessert Essence’s Organic Jojoba Oil which worked great but Rainy Days and Lattes wrote about Jason Natural Vitamin E Oil that not only helped her moisturize her skin but to get rid of pimples and discoloration. I got Mr BB to buy a bottle of this from Whole Foods on one of his New York trips because of this rave.

I think I was drawn to this product because I have dehydrated oily skin so I’m constantly on the hunt for products that have the grunt of a heavy moisturizer without breaking me out. So far, I have only good things to say about this product.

She also wrote another post on Trader’s Joe’s Jojoba Oil and felt it was less oily than the Jason’s Vitamin E Oil. But I must say that I think Jason Vitamin E Oil is less oily than Dessert Essence’s Jojoba Oil — we might be splitting hairs here, but my main point is, don’t be afraid of this vitamin E oil as it’s still pretty light.

I only use this at night after I wash my face, slap on a hydrating lotion, spread Clinique’s Anti-blemish Clearing Moisturizer on my T-zone, and then shake four drops out — three drops for my face and one for my neck.

In the morning, my skin just looks, smooth, bright and fresh, especially after washing it and I’m happy to have found my happy balance this winter. I would not use this in non-winter seasons, not even in autumn and spring because I did try Jason Natural Vitamin E Oil at the tail end of autumn and it was still a bit too heavy for my skin type.

Do I experience fewer pimples? Yes, actually. I find that I have fewer clogged pores if you would believe that. It could be also due to the cold and dry weather, but I have had bad breakouts and clogged pores using regular moisturizers in previous winters, so I really think the vitamin E oil has something to do with my clearer skin.

In terms of getting rid of discoloration, I haven’t seen any effects but I have only been using this for a month. But I have used a very heavy vitamin E oil from Fruit of the Earth, called Vitamin E Skincare Oil, that helps me get rid of eczema and some scars from sand flies so I do have faith that vitamin E oil will work on scars but it takes months and months.

Do you use oil on your skin? If so, what type of oil do you use? Or tell us what is your fave winter facial moisturizer.
