Are you looking for that perfect skin pick me up, that renews radiance, balances your natural oils, soothes and locks in moisture? Then look no further, because that product is Clarins 100% natural plant extract face treatment oils.

With 3 natural face oils, your daily routines or pamper nights have never felt so good.

So lets have a look at these little gems...because I am so, so in love with these products and I can't wait to get sharing with you. But before I dive in, I want to share with you the benefits of using face oils in your daily routines.  

Face oils can be used on any skin type, YES I said ANY! From oily, to dry to combination. 

A lot of people with oily skin , shy away from using oil on their skin, thinking it will cause even more oil therefore leading to breakouts. This is a MYTH! Healthy fats and oils actually prevent skin damage and breakouts. The skin needs its natural oils for protection. If we strip the oil away, the skin will produce more oil to compensate. Then the imbalances will cause breakouts. Facial oils help to add balance to oily skin and replenish the natural oils we produce to repair the skin.

Facial oils are chemical-free antioxidant powerhouses. Another thing to remember is as we age, our body’s natural oil production decreases. This can make wrinkles appear deeper and more defined. But natural plant extract oils help replenish what we’ve lost. They are pure unadulterated botanical oils...therefore acting as chemical free antioxidants, plumping and protecting our skins.

When inhaled they also have a therapeutic effect on our sense of well being.  Using face oils act quicker and more effectively to re balance the skin than serums and creams because their texture is much finer and is absorbed quicker, as well as being incredibly concentrated.

So now you know the benefits lets look at these little beauties.

How to use these oils

At night mix 2-3 drops with your regular night cream to enhance the benefits of your cream.

Once a week mix 6-8 drops with your face mask with pressed moments across the skin.

Apply straight to the skin, but apply toner first, as this will allow better absorption of the oil.

Tip - make sure you exfoliate regularly for smooth more radiant skin which with allow the active ingredients in the face oils to be more receptive.
