With big brands predicting that 2012 is the year of the facial oil, who are we to disagree. In fact we totally agree! According to Dr Lionel de Benetti, Clarins Head of Research and Development for Clarins, “‘Plant oils have a very fine molecular structure, so they are rapidly absorbed by the skin, which means they give quick results. Use oil every night for three weeks for the best results, but as they’re so readily absorbed, you should actually notice a difference within days”.¹ What’s not to like about that?

Applying oil to the skin is nothing new. The Ancient Egyptians used olive oil to soften and nourish their skin. However modern facial oils have developed and are nothing like the heavy, greasy products of the past. The best product use a careful blends of plant oils and extracts to deliver optimum performance, nourishing, balancing and softening skin.

Perhaps surprisingly, facial oils are ideal for all skin types, not just dry skin. People with oily skin may be worried about blocking pores or increased oiliness. In fact the opposite is true. Facial oils can balance sebum production, look for products containing jojoba which mimics the skin’s sebum and helps balance dry and oily skin. For really dry skin, use your facial oil on slightly damp skin for an extra moisture boost.

Your facial oil should have a blend of ingredients that deliver total nutrition for your skinin the form of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.  Avoid petrochemical based oils that can block pores and look for an oil packed with natural ingredients, like Myroo’s Skin Boost Facial Serum.

Used regularly facial oils can really improve the look of your skin. Myroo’s Serum is handmade from 100% Bio-Actives and is light and easily absorbed. Ideal to help boost skin and combat the wear and tear of daily life.

So, is 2012 the year you give facial oils a try?
