Winter might bring cosy nights and festive vibes, but for our skin (and beards), it can be a whole different story. Cold air, central heating and icy winds can leave skin feeling tight, dull and thirsty.
That’s where Moroccan oil beauty staples come in. Rich, nourishing and naturally packed with goodness, they’re perfect for keeping skin and hair happy through the colder months.
Today, we’re shining a light on the trio of winter warriors (available at Pretty Oasis, obvs)
Why Moroccan Oils Are Winter Skincare Heroes
Moroccan oils have been used for generations — and for good reason. They’re:
-
Naturally rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids
-
Deeply hydrating without feeling heavy
-
Great at protecting the skin barrier
-
Ideal for dry, sensitive or weather-stressed skin
In winter, oils help lock in moisture and prevent that uncomfortable tight, flaky feeling that colder weather loves to cause.
Moroccan Beauty Co Vitamin E Serum: Your First Line of Defence
Think of this serum as your winter skin shield.
Why it’s perfect for winter:
- Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, helping protect skin from environmental stress
- Supports the skin barrier, keeping moisture where it belongs
- Helps soothe dryness and irritation caused by cold air
How to use it:
- Apply a few drops to clean skin morning and night
- Gently press into the face and neck
- Follow with your moisturiser (and oil, if needed)
💡 Winter tip: Apply the serum while your skin is still slightly damp; it helps boost hydration.
Zoa Organic Argan Oil: Liquid Gold for Skin, Hair & Body
Argan oil is often called “liquid gold”, and once winter hits, you understand why.
Winter benefits:
- Deeply nourishes dry, flaky skin
- Helps restore softness and elasticity
- Leaves a healthy glow (even when the sun disappears at 4pm)
How to use it:
- Face: Warm 2–3 drops between your palms and gently press into skin after serum
- Body: Apply after showering to lock in moisture
- Hair: Smooth a drop or two onto dry ends to tame winter frizz
💡 Less is more! Argan oil is rich, so a little goes a long way.
Hendiya Prickly Pear Beard & Face Oil: our Winter Grooming Essential
And yes, people with facial hair, we have not forgotten about you.
Cold weather can be especially harsh on beards, causing dryness, itchiness and flaky skin underneath. Enter prickly pear oil, one of the most luxurious Moroccan oils out there.
Why it’s a winter win:
- Lightweight but intensely nourishing
- High in antioxidants to protect hair and skin
- Softens beard hair while caring for the skin beneath
How to use:
- Apply a few drops to a clean, slightly damp beard
- Massage into the skin underneath first, then through the beard
- Comb or brush to distribute evenly
✨ The result? A softer, healthier-looking beard with no winter itch.
