This oil is an absolute favourite of our absolute favourite and recently voted funniest employee at Dazed Media, Jack Sunnucks.
In his own words: “Everyday oil was skin changing for me – not just because it was my first oil, but because litres of it later it’s still the one thing that keeps my skin happy (I have tried to deviate but can’t). My friends now recognise me from its blend of botanicals. It is the one thing I empty regularly! Also, I can put it on in the morning without looking like a slippery seal.”
