When the weather becomes colder and the seasons change, my skin always becomes drier and dull so I introduce richer moisturisers, hydrating masks and nourishing serums and facial oils into my skincare routine. The lovely people at Oilixia kindly sent me their *Oilixia Brilliance Facial Oil (£37, 30ml) which instantly made it into my daily skincare routine.
The facial oil contains kahai oil, IBR-TCLC and Gatuline In-Tense as well as retinol and plant oils rich in vitamins. Retinol is an effective and commonly used anti-ageing skincare ingredient. An Oilixia consumer study found that 94% of the women involved saw a visible improvement in skin softness and smoothness.
I have been using the facial oil on and off for over one month as part of my evening skincare routine and I love it! I love the look of the packaging and bottle, it feels quite fancy and the pump is handy although I personally think a pipette may have been better as a dispenser. The oil feels rich and nourishing on the skin and it feels like an extra layer of protection and moisture over my dry, sensitive skin. I don't have to use a lot as a little goes a long way to making my skin look and feel so smooth, soft, plumped and moisturised almost instantly. The facial oil doesn't irritate my skin in any way!
Overall, I'm loving this facial oil as it gives my dull, dry skin a much needed boost of moisturise and it just plumps the skin and relieves the look of tired skin instantly. I use it as part of my evening skincare routine as it is a little too rich underneath makeup during the day. I would definitely recommend this facial oil if you have combination, dry or very dry skin. If you want to know my top tips for glowing skin, check out my guest post on the Oilixia blog. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
