“My favourite facial oil for mature skin is Noble Panacea’s The Absolute Nourishing Lift Oil,” says Akrim. “It uses an advanced delivery technology that allows actives to penetrate effectively within a nourishing oil formula. It’s packed with anti-ageing ingredients that leave the skin looking smoother and more radiant.”

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane

For something that feels more serum-like than oily, try this from The Ordinary – as recommended by Dr Mahto. Packing pure squalane, it is naturally non-comedogenic while delivering deep hydration. The affordable skincare starwort can also serve your hair too; apply before heat styling for protection and when dry to boost shine.

Neal's Yard Remedies Jojoba Oil

Another favourite of Dr Mahto’s, this pure jojoba oil is equally versatile (think skin, hair and scalp) as well as naturally hydrating. Also non-comedogenic, jojoba oil is known for its similarity to the skin’s natural sebum, meaning it can help regulate excess oil production making it a great option for anyone who’s breakout-prone.
