The Benefits Of Rosehip Oil.

The certified organic golden seed oil of Rose Canina (Rosehip) Seed Oil has a rich content of skin-loving vitamins and essential fatty acids, whilst also containing phenols that are rich in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-septic properties. The dry and non-greasy oil helps the skin hold onto to water for better hydration whilst also moisturising to help improve dry skin conditions. The vitamins A, C, and E also contribute to help improve skin-tone and texture to help reduce hyperpigmentation and fine lines/wrinkles which is why its popularity in anti-ageing products has soared.

Caution And Warnings Of Rosehip Oil.

It is important to perform a patch test on your wrist or forearm and wait 24 hours to see if there are any signs of irritation such as red itchy skin, watery eyes, scratchy throat, nausea and vomiting. Although this generally safe-to-use oil can be enjoyed by many, if you experience any signs of unwell you must seek immediate emergency medical care.

How To Use The Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil Rollerball 10ml.

The compact size, roll-on applicator not only ensures a mess-free application (pipette facial oils are great but you can sometimes end up using too much oil) you can also spot treat in specific areas and ensure an even coverage around the eye contours and it be used as a lip balm. I was impressed on how quickly the oil absorbs to leave the skin feeling super comforted and nourished, whilst it can easily be used anywhere and everywhere for extra nourishment and repair.

HAND SCRUB - BERGAMOT & EUCALYPTUS 'ART DECO'

Exfoliating the hands not only will texturally improve the skin to gently buff away any dead skin cells but it will also help your hand cream to penetrate deeper for maximum benefits. The soft granules of sugar are the physical exfoliator to make it a "scrub" which is also combined with nourishing skin-loving oils that help to reset and soften any overworked hands. Placing a little on damp skin and rubbing your hands together, you can also work the scrub in circular motions on any callous or dry areas, before leaving on the hands for 2 minutes. Rinsing the luxurious scrub off with warm water and gently patting dry, you will be amazed on how soft and smooth the skin feels whilst your hands will look revitalised.

HAND CREAM - BERGAMOT & EUCALYPTUS 'ART DECO'

Replenish hydration and moisture with this rich plant-based hand cream either after you have just exfoliated or throughout the day when your hands need an extra boost. Featuring a host of skin-loving oils to nourish deeply and condition the skin, the combined essential oils with added parfum also helps to influence your wellbeing with its luxury scent. Applying a little, the cream instantly nourishes as you work it over and into both hands whilst it does not leave the skin feeling overly greasy or sticky because it absorbs quickly. I also like to apply this hand cream at night to really let the ingredients work to their full potential for an over-night restorative skin treatment your hands will love.

CUTICLE OIL - BERGAMOT & SANDALWOOD 'ART DECO'

Protect your nails and the cuticles from trauma when applying this quick and easy treatment oil to both hands. Combining a host of nourishing oils to improve health and appearance of dry or cracked cuticles, this quick and easy treatment can also be used as a pre-manicure treatment. The handy (no pun intended) brush applicator delivers the perfect drop of oil onto the area for you then to proceed to massage the oil using circular motions which will then boost circulation and stimulate nail growth. I like to apply this treatment over-night for maximum benefits because handwashing during the day would limit its potential but i have been impressed on how quickly it can improve my neglected cuticles from the first use.

Pamper and take care of your hardworking hands with the nourishing and conditioning properties of the products featured in this amazing hand care gift set, The Handmade Soap Company Art Deco "We're For Hands" Handcare Gift Set is priced for £34.95 and available here: LoveLula x Neil.

You can then follow on with your water-based cleanser to perform a double cleanse method that helps your water-based cleanser perform better to remove pore impurities because its not having to work through layers of products, if you use a lot of them. I love how effective but gentle this balm performs each time i have applied it because of its skin-calming blackcurrant seed, blue tansy and sea buckthorn oils and can even be used around the delicate eye area.

Decongest congested skin whilst hydrating and brightening when applying the lava wrap detox face mask as a treatment. The detoxifying action is great for those people who work and live in polluted cities because the zeolite ingredient included is a negative charged mineral that attracts positively charged contaminants to bind, absorb, and neutralise them whilst also aiding in deeper penetration of other ingredients. Applying the mask onto cleansed skin using dry hands (its important not to get water in the product jar as its preservative free and water can promote bacterial growth) the ylang ylang and clary sage instantly influences your wellbeing with their relaxation properties to ease stress and anxiety. The mask applies brilliantly over the skin and dries down quickly because of the  mineral-rich clay fuller's earth to allow your skin treatment to begin and end in 10 minutes.

Feel fresh and clean when applying the lemon breeze natural deodorant to your underarms whilst still respecting the skin area for maximum comfort. Acting as a skin conditioner to improve the skins moisture levels, shea butter also doesn't clog the pores and is helpful in soothing and moisturising the armpit area along with the other ingredients included that are coconut oil and tocopherol. Keeping the armpit area dry is gained by the sodium bicarbonate and corn starch included that when combined help tackle any wetness and odour that may occur. The antibacterial lemon essential oil not only provides that fresh and clean feeling, it also stops the process of bacteria that mixes with sweat which is the cause of body odour. Applying and massaging onto clean armpits i was impressed on how hydrating the cream feels without leaving the area feeling greasy or sticky. It kept me dry/odour free all day and is recommended to be applied every 12 hours (morning and night) whilst it can be placed in your gym or holiday bag.
