Facial Oils are truly the holy grail of skincare products and contrary to what you might think, these lavish oils aren’t solely for the dry-skinned. A skincare myth that needs debunking is that a facial oil is the gateway to breakouts but in fact it’s quite the opposite. If you suffer with troubled skin that is prone to blemishes applying a face oil can actually help balance the skin’s natural sebum levels as well as lending an extra layer of moisture - it’s the skin care version of a ‘re-set button’ and it keeps the thirsty bits of your skin hydrated and happy.

We have sebaceous glands all over our body, which are responsible for creating the sebum (or oil) that keeps our skin soft and comfortable and these glands are most concentrated on our T-zones (across the forehead, down the nose, across the chin) which is why we notice the shine in this area. Imbalanced skin occurs when natural oils are stripped away and your body overcompensates by producing an excess of sebum, skin’s natural lubricant.  An oily skin is often a side-effect of dehydration which can be caused by the climate, environmental aggressors, medication, hormones or by ‘over-stripping’ skin with drying toners and whilst our default setting for treating oily skin is to try and strip back the oils, dry the skin out and leave it feeling tight, this is one of the worst things you can do. When you strip oily skin of its oils, it will just work harder to replace them and encourage sebaceous glands to pump out yet more oil!

A beauty all-rounder, face oils are mega multitaskers packed with essential nutrients, fatty acids and antioxidants that provide skin with an extra layer of protection to trap in moisture while also addressing a host of other skin concerns including regulating oil (yes, really!) and resolving imbalances.

If the thought of putting oils on your face brings breakouts and oily skin to mind, think again!  The Egyptians started it 5000 years ago and we’ve been doing it ever since. A facial oil will work alongside your skin’s natural oils to help balance the look of your complexion, lock in moisture and help support the feel of soft and supple skin, without feeling greasy, heavy or uncomfortable.

If you are looking for a face oil that offers results on par with a facial, then Defi Lift Firming Facial Oil could be your dream product.  An irresistible silky cashmere texture, this quick absorbing all-in-one face oil deeply conditions, rebalances and boosts skin elasticity minimising enlarged pores to deliver a smoother, clearer-looking skin. Powered by science and balanced by botanicals, at the heart of the formula is a medley of non-comedogenic oils including Jojoba, Black Seed and Sunflower Seed Oil that the skin recognises and knows exactly what to do with. Brimming with Vitamin A and essential Amino Acids, Black Seed Oil (otherwise known as Nigella Sativa) is a true skin saviour as it regulates sebum production whilst its anti-inflammatory properties reduce the appearance of spots and acne scars. And beloved for their sunny golden petals and ability to grow impressively tall Sunflowers boast edible seeds which, when pressed, yield barrier-boosting Sunflower Oil. The Linoleic Acid in Sunflower Seed Oil delivers a burst of soothing hydration and extra emollience effectively rehydrating overly parched skin leaving it silky and supple.

Playing a starring role in this superlative formula is Alaria Esculenta Oil, an intelligent marine kelp derived from Greenland’s glacial waters, and studied extensively for its incredible hydrating and detoxifying effects. Packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and essential omegas it is a secret weapon against dehydrated complexions’ as it dramatically boosts Hyaluronic Acid production within the skin and has a powerful antioxidant action which helps protect against damaging free radicals.

And with a healthy dose of Myrtle Extract, an evergreen Mediterranean shrub known for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits since the time of the ancient Romans, expect a clear complexion ahead as it battles ‘blemish causing’ bacteria and keeps your complexion clear, calm and collected.

The road to clear ‘glass-like’ skin might have been a ‘bumpy’ one but here to smoothen that journey is Defi Lift Firming Face Oil - wave this bottle packed with skin-loving ingredients into your current skincare routine and watch the magic happen…….
