The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil Product Review

Swathy · June 22, 2016 · 10 Comments

I was so excited for Oils of Life that I got it the first day of its release. Yeah, the advertising works 🙂 And, I have been using it on and off for almost six months now (got it in November). I am nearing the end of the bottle so decided it is time to review it. So, let me start.

The Body Shop Oils of Life Intensely Revitalizing Facial Oil Product Review

Price : Rs 3,095 for 30ml

Skin Type, Fragrance and Texture

I think it would suit all skin types. The texture of the oil is not heavy on skin, gets absorbed in a jiffy and has cumin oil which would, according to me, sit well on oily and combination skin.

The oil is colourless and smells awesome. It has the subtle cumin smell which is amazing and soothing for my nerves. It helps me calm down and does not linger long either.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Product Review

Ever since I have entered my 30’s or probably when I was 29, I have been feeling that my skin needs a lot more water than I had been feeding it. So, I started looking for products with water (like this water sleeping mask) or rather hydrating products.

Hyaluronic acid serum is the first choice obviously but I have not yet got one though it is on my list and should be on yours as well, 30 or not!

Anyways, around that time, I came across this product review on My Women Stuff and I was floored. And, then came my trip to Malaysia and I got this. And, after these many months (got it in August 2015), I totally love it and use it more often than I should. Having said that, lets see why I love it so much.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Product Review (buy it on Amazon)

Skin Type, Fragrance and Product Texture

Since this is a hydrating product, it is meant for all skin types. Oily and Combination skin gals can just apply less of it. Dry skin girls can actually use a thick layer and wake up to amazingly plump skin.

The product has a mild fragrance which I do not personally like.

5 Uses to make Face Toner More Effective

I have started loving face toner after experiencing the misting spray of the Vichy thermal spa water which feels like you are on a vacation every time you use it! It is so soothing. Just to make sure I get most out of the product, I started using it in almost every way. Lets see if you can do the same!

How else can you use Face Toner?

Dilute Your Cleansing Milk

To get most out of your cleansing milk, I learned to dilute it with face toner or water. Dilution helps cleansing milk to spread evenly on skin and you end up using less product at the same time.

I love to massage the cleansing milk so that it removes every bit of impurity on the face. Interestingly, did you know that you could use cleansing milk to deep cleanse your face even when you are not wearing makeup or sunscreen.

In fact, deep cleansing should be a part of your evening skin care routine on all days but when you have been at home. Keeps skin clean and fresh all times!
