Oil Me Up Pt. 1


Just in case you've been living under a rock for the last couple of years, facials oils are having a bit of a moment. Coming in various blends, forms and price brackets, adding an oil to your regime is a relatively simple way to eek a bit more efficiency out of your products, without necessarily having to splash out the big bucks. Adding a drop to your regular moisturiser can make a surprising difference to the tone and quality of your skin, and using oils alone creates gives the skin a bit of a - dare I say it - effortless glow.

A personal favourite of mine, which I have also inflicted given to my mother, is rosehip oil; I use the one by Triology, although Pai's offering is on my radar next. This stuff is gooood. A multi-tasking oil that tackles pigmentation, acne scarring and an uneven skin tone, whilst also helping to prevent those much-dreaded signs of ageing, whatever they are. It's not too heavy on the skin, feels very luxurious and lasts bloomin' ages. You only need a couple of drops for your entire face and neck, so it's a relatively economical purchase. 

It may not be an essential, but it's a welcome addition to my skincare routine. My mum fell over on her face the other day (I come from a very clumsy family, don't ask) and has been using the Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil on her cut and it's clearing up a treat. 

Great for scars, great for improved clarity and great for your wallet. What've you got to lose?
