The Bite:

For the price of a few gallons of Texas tea, you can start to lose some of those crevices. Organic face oils play down imperfections no matter which side of the offshore drilling issue you're on.

The Benefits:

Striking rich antioxidants. Our picks contain plant-based antioxidants, which encourage skin cell renewal.
Slick skin. Pipe these oils onto your face to help with dryness, lines, and redness.
Less toxic oil spills. The fewer synthetic chems (think formaldehyde and parabens) we put into our beauty products, the fewer that will end up in nature - and in us (skin absorbs about 60% of what you rub on it).

Personally Speaking:

Heather splurged on some Le Sanctuaire face oil and it worked like a dream - even fixing Burning Man dryness.

Wanna Try:

Le Sanctuaire L'huile de Grace - lux facial serum with antioxidant-rich ingreds such as red raspberry seed and sea buckthorn berry ($62).
Pomega5 Revitalizing Treatment - travel ready; just pop open a capsule and spread on this face fixer made with organic pomegranate seed oil ($48).
Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate - smells amazing; includes avocado, hazelnut, and other smoothing oils ($34).
Suki Pure Facial Moisture - blue chamomile calms and jojoba and other natural oils moisturize; great if you've got combo or oily skin ($30).
DIY Bite: Just dab on a few drops of organic olive oil (worked for a few of us - see today's blog).

Cocktail Fact

Last quarter, Exxon Mobil posted the highest profits of any corporation in U.S. history - $11.68 billion.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for a 1-ounce bottle of organic face oil instead of the conventional stuff, we'll avert enough synthetic baddies (such as formaldehyde) to fill the tanks of 52 cars.
