The Ultimate Glow Face Oil is a wonderful face oil that adds a touch of luxury to your skincare routine.
What is a Face Oil?
A Face Oil is a skincare product that combines beautiful natural oils and ingredients derived from plants, seeds, nuts, or flowers. These oils contain essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that provide nourishment to the skin.
Isn't a face oil too Greasy???
No... but sometimes yes! All too often we see DIY-ers create face oils made from thick coconut oil or almond oil which can feel greasy or heavy. While there's nothing wrong with this, as it's down to personal preference, many people say that DIY face oils can feel too greasy or heavy.
Face oils don't need to feel greasy, they can be light and luxurious, and the secret is to choose the oils wisely.
We like a light face oil that provides nourishment and absorbs into the skin. Here's our favourite recipe for the ultimate glow.

Benefits of the Ultimate Glow Face Oil
Each component of the Ultimate Glow Face Oil plays a crucial role in nourishing and rejuvenating your skin.
- Jojoba Oil: This versatile oil closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, making it an excellent moisturiser for all skin types. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and helps balance oil production.
- NaturaSilk: A natural alternative to silicone, NaturaSilk enhances the skin feel of your face oil, making it silky smooth and non-greasy.
- Camellia Oil: Rich in antioxidants, this luxurious oil helps protect the skin from environmental damage and promotes a youthful, glowing complexion.
- Apricot Oil: This lightweight oil is easily absorbed by the skin, providing hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
- Natural Squalane: Derived from plant sources, squalane helps retain moisture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin elasticity.
- Rosehip Oil: Known for its regenerative properties, rosehip oil helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation.
- Natural Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and supports overall skin health.
- Essential Oil of choice: Customise your face oil with an essential oil that suits your skin type and personal preferences.
