Facial Oil… Linda Rodin

Linda Rodin, OlioLusso, French Essence, Vicki Archer

 

“What I longed for was something far simpler—products for the here-and-now, that caress the skin noticeably and without any delay.”

Something I have been wanting to try for ages… but not entirely sure about… is facial oil.

The idea of oiling up my face didn’t resonate with me.

Then I thought about it.

 

I add a few drops of olive oil to my bath water… I add essential oils to my body lotion… I treat my hair.

What’s the difference?

 

If anywhere needs nourishment, it is my face.

I have been using facial oil.. and I like it… No, I actually love it.

The skill is in the application.

Less is more and the timing is critical.

 

I was very extravagant and bought the Rodin oil created by Linda Rodin.

Sometimes we need a treat… no excuses… it all helps with our self confidence.

11 essential oils including neroli, rosehip, jojoba and jasmine.

Beauty is an investment and I think it’s important to do our homework.

I found rave reviews for her facial oil… and I very much like her philosophy towards beauty.

 

In my experience beauty products need to be mixed up a little, changed and experimented with.

The same day-after-day routines become taken for granted…  and we don’t want that… xv

 

The How

A few drops… the emphasis on few… morning and night on clean skin.

Avoid the eye area, too close and the eyes can puff.

If your skin is prone to be a little oily… don’t be afraid.

Follow with your normal routine.

If it feels too much for the day… use at night and luxuriate in the essential oils.
