Hey guys
How are we all
settling into our first week back at work/university/school? The first full
week back is always tough isn’t it? I cant really complain too much as I am
finished after today ha-ha, I shouldn’t laugh though because I have a mountain
of work to get on with. So I am going to dive straight in and talk about the Caudalie Divine Oil (from
£17.50) which has been somewhat of a skin saviour for me throughout these wet
and cold months.
I received a
corker of a sample in my Look Fantastic
Beauty Box a few months ago and I have to say it took me a few weeks
to actually try the oil as I was worried that the oil may cause horrendous
spots or may make my oily skin even worse. I finally plucked up the courage to
incorporate it into my evening skincare routine at the end of October and I’m glad
I did. This is a luxurious dry oil which can be used for just about anything
including your body, nails, hair and bath. It contains grape, hibiscus, sesame
and argan oil as well as a skin repairing antioxidant called polyphenols (yeah me neither). The formula itself is
quite light which absorbs into the skin quickly leaving it glowing and
nourished. It also smells beautiful.
A little goes
a long way with this oil so please don't pour a lot onto your hand
and layer onto your face as you will end up looking like Kim K on a
provocative photo shoot and trust me guys, that is not a good look for us mere
mortals on an everyday basis. I did that the first time I used it and I looked horrific
but I finally figured out the right amount to use and it looked fab.
I have been
using this every night over my moisturiser to add another layer. I pat into my
skin rather than rub it as I want it to penetrate into my skin naturally
without being forced and clogging my pores. I also use it during the day if I
want to have a makeup free day.
After using
this for a while now I feel I can make a judgement and I can hand on heart say
it is the best thing I have used on my skin. I have oily skin, and as I said
before, I was a little worried it would make it worse but it hasn’t, infact my
skin has drank it up and never looked better. I feel this would be a dream for
dry skin too as my dry patched have died down a little on my cheeks. It dries
quickly, when a small amount has been applied and leaves my face with a
gorgeous glow. As you know, I have been using my Magnitone which gives me a
really good deep clean and when I apply my skincare products finished off with
this oil, my skin feels like heaven.
Have you
tried face oils?
What
other oils would you recommend?
I've wanted to try this for ages but i always get so put off oils because i have oily skin and suffer from break outs! I always read that oils are actually good for oily skin so i don't know why i'm being so daft haha! Great pots hun, very detailed :) xxxx
