With winter rearing its often ugly head, my skin and hair are screaming at me for a bit of extra TLC. I have really sensitive skin and tons of tempermental curly hair, so I need to be smart about the beauty products that I use. For the most part, I prefer to go the natural route. I'm thrilled that so many people have jumped on the natural bandwagon, because that means that products that once required a trip to the health food store, are becoming much more readily available–even at the local big box store. This new increased availability means that instead of spending time scouring store shelves for products with ingredents that I can pronouce, I can now rely on all-natural, often organic oils without any loss in convenience. Here, I've compiled some of my current go-to beauty oils as well as some that I'm excited to try in my battle against dry, dull winter skin and hair.

Keep in mind that many big, commercial beauty companies are packaging up these oils or blends of them, adding a bit of fragrance and selling them for high prices. If you want to try those products, and you like them, go for it. But, if you want to save some money and still get all the beauty benefits, look for the pharmaceutical or food grade versions, and stay out of the beauty aisle. If you can't find the pure versions in-store, they are readily available online. Just try to find the least refined version possible.
