I was a bit nervous about this. I have oily/combination skin - so basically my cheeks and chin can get quite oily, but my nose and bridge can be quite dry and my moisturiser just wasn't cutting it in terms of sorting out my dry bits on the bridge. It was perfect at keeping the oil at bay but I needed something a little bit more targetted to sorting my nose/bridge out.
I saw a review on this (I can't remember where sorry!) and thought I might give skin oil a try. As I said, I was a bit nervous but I thought as long as I don't use it on my oily bits I will be fine. And honestly, this little thing has turned my skin around.
I use this every evening on my bridge and around the creases of my nose, making sure it fully absorbs - I don't want any excess oil seeping into my cheeks. Firstly, I love the smell. It reminds me of marzipan and is incredibly scrummy. It does absorb easily and quickly and doesn't look or feel too greasy which was another worry of mine.
Basically, after about a week of use I saw a huge difference. My skin no longer looked dry and my make up didn't stick to the dry skin. It looked smooth and bright - yay skin oil! Not only that but it didn't make this area oily or greasy at all and didn't aggravate my skin.. Score! I would definitely repurchase this after I run out. I could not live without this and it's such a handy size as well to carry around and travel with, or to just to pop in my handbag for touch ups. Bring it on dry skin!! I have the perfect antidote...!
Have you tried skin oils before? Which ones would you recommend?
I need it, just because it smells like marzipan! love!

Haha it really does smell great!! x
DeleteI considered getting this and the only reason I didn't was because I'm trying not to buy any more skincare products, I have far too many already; it does sound really nice though!
ReplyDeleteI may pick it up for when winter arrives again, which judging by how fast this year is going already it will be here in no time!
