On its own, after serum or moisturiser
Use Shiseido Future Solution LX Replenishing Treatment Oil ($232) as the last step in both your morning and night skincare routine to lock in moisture, and keep your complexion looking radiant and plump. No need to worry about greasiness here; the oil has a lovely light texture that absorbs quickly.

Mixed into skincare
If you have dry skin, mix two drops of this oil into your usual serums – it’ll form a protective barrier over skin to prevent moisture loss. This oil also supposedly inhibits the production of a protein that accelerates ageing, thanks to Skingenecell 1P, an ingredient exclusive to the Future Solution LX range.

Mixed into body creams
This sounds extravagant, but I like to mix three drops of the oil into my body cream and slather it all over. The oil not only gives the cream a rich, satiny texture, but also a relaxing yuzu scent that is great for relieving tension.

On hair ends
I use the oil to tame frizzy tresses too – it leaves my mane feeling less dry and gives it a healthy sheen.
