Skin Balancing Face Oil Reviews

I loooooooooooooove this face oil and I've tried quite a lot under the sun- rosehip oil, chia seed oil, camellia oil (which is really nice actually, similar density to facial skin!), blends of oils from many brands and other not as nice oils that I can't be bothered naming. This is a key player for my winter routine!

- 2-3 drops is all you need for hydration --> drop oil on your finger tips and pat it so it spreads on all of your finger tips. Gently pat it on top of your face starting from the areas that are the driest (cheeks, forehead, chin, etc).
- Beautiful woody scent of herbs and florals; all nice stuff that you know is going to do you good, absolutely no irritants or annoying perfumes that are going to just set off sensitive skin. Jurlique is great for us ladies with sensitive skin that reacts to anything and everything; they never put in ingredients that aren't beneficial or serve a purpose (like perfumes and other preservatives which are the common culprits that irritate our skin!)
- Blends into your skin really fast- is thin once patted into your face.
- In Winter, I usually use this after all my toners, serums, gels have been applied. Then I tend to pat the thinnest layer on top before patting on my moisturiser on top (to seal everything in). I love doing this, as it reduces the amount of moisturiser I need to use, which in turn reduces the amount of residue just sitting there on my face. Thus, I wake up in the morning with very hydrated skin that is soft and smooth without any gunk- it's amazing! The oil absorbs beautifully and gives you a glowing and smooth complexion in winter, providing the hydration needed during those dry and windy winter months. Yessss please!
- I probably do it every 2nd day or so in winter or sometimes everyday, depends how dry or windy it is. In summer, I may use the oil around once or twice a week, usually on the same days that i've used a deep cleansing clay mask or exfoliant, to make sure i'm replenishing my face oils so the natural balance of my skin is not disrupted.

The skin balancing face oil has been a favourite of mine over the last few months as my skin is so dry. It is a deeply moisturising and nourishing treatment oil which is filled with so many amazing ingredients! These ingredients include safflower, rose hip, avocado and macadamia oil, Shea butter and vitamin e. I used this only in my night skincare routine after I had washed my face and put my eye cream on. You only need 2-3 drops for your face and neck and it is advised to press into skin as opposed to rubbing it in. This oil smells divine and it makes my skin feel so smooth, plump, radiant and hydrated! This bottle will last me so long!

In terms of face oils, I've been using Rosehip oils so I was keen to give this a try after I received a few sample satchets.

Firstly, the fragrance is not inviting. I know it's natural and that's great but it smells quite woody and I am a person that loves floral.

I use a few drops and press it into my skin after I've cleansed.

My skin feels moisturised but I feel like the results are similar to a budget rosehip oil from the chemist so for the price tag, I don't think I would be buying.

I recieved a few samples of this product when I visited the store last week. Keen to try, I applied the facial oil overnight and topped it off with my moisturizer. I feel like I applied a lot and only a couple of drops are required. I didnt like the smell of the oil as I associate this brand with all things roses so I expected the oil to have some rose tones too.
Having said that, the oil is very lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. My moisturizer glided much better when I applied it on top. I woke up to soft and smooth skin the next morning and I felt like this oil had done its job.
I shy away from face oils because they tend to sit heavy on my skin even though my skin is dry but I would recommend this oil if you need a hydration boost.
