This facial cleanser's amazing skin benefits!:
- Castor oil is a nutrient-rich, plant-based oil that offers intense moisturisation, reduces acne, and fights inflammation, making it excellent for dry and ageing skin. Its high ricinoleic acid content promotes collagen production, reduces puffiness, and supports skin healing. It is best applied at night to lock in moisture.
- Sweet almond oil is a nutrient-rich, lightweight oil packed with Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and fatty acids that deeply moisturise, soothe inflammation, and improve complexion. Ideal for sensitive and dry skin, it acts as a barrier to prevent moisture loss, reduces the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and dark circles, and promotes a youthful, radiant glow.
Key Benefits of Sweet Almond Oil for Skin: Deep Moisturisation: It serves as an effective emollient, locking in moisture to soften dry, flaky skin.
Rich in Nutrients: Contains high levels of Vitamin E, Vitamin A (retinoids), fatty acids, and zinc, which nourish the skin and stimulate new cell production.
Soothes Sensitive Skin: It has anti-inflammatory properties that calm redness, sunburn, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
Anti-Ageing Properties: The antioxidants, specifically Vitamin E, help fight free radicals, protect against UV-induced damage, and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Improves Complexion: Regular use helps even out skin tone and improves overall skin health.
Reduces Marks: It is used to minimise the appearance of scars and stretch marks.
Non-Comedogenic (low): With a low comedogenic rating, it is generally safe for all skin types, including acne-prone, though a patch test is recommended.
Vitamin E benefits skin by acting as a powerful antioxidant, fighting free radicals, intensely moisturising by strengthening the skin barrier to lock in hydration, soothing inflammation, protecting against UV damage, promoting wound healing, improving elasticity, and reducing signs of aging like fine lines and dark spots, making skin softer and more supple.
Key Benefits: Antioxidant Power: Neutralises harmful free radicals from sun and pollution, preventing damage that leads to dullness and wrinkles.
Deep Moisturisation: Strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, reducing water loss and keeping skin hydrated, soft, and smooth.
Anti-Ageing: Protects collagen and elastin, maintains skin's firmness, reduces fine lines, and helps prevent age spots.
Sun Damage Protection: Enhances sunscreen effectiveness and helps reduce redness and damage from UV exposure.
Healing & Soothing: Calms irritated skin, reduces inflammation, and aids in scar healing.
Improves Texture: Contributes to a more supple, elastic, and youthful complexion.
Aromatherapy essential oils with skin benefits!:
- Sweet orange essential oil benefits the skin by cleansing, reducing acne, and brightening the complexion due to its antibacterial, astringent, and antioxidant properties. When properly diluted with a carrier oil, it can improve the appearance of dull or oily skin, help fade dark spots, and promote a more youthful look by boosting collagen production. However, it is phototoxic, so you should avoid direct sun exposure after application.
Key skin benefits: Antioxidant and brightening: The oil contains Vitamin C, which helps fight free radicals that cause premature aging. It can also help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Antibacterial and cleansing: It has antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria, keeping pores clear. Its cleansing properties can remove dirt and grime.
Astringent and firming: Sweet orange oil acts as a natural astringent, which can help tighten the skin and refine pores. It may also promote cell growth and collagen synthesis, contributing to firmer skin.
Like all of our products, this cleanser will compliment whichever masks, oils and creams works for you, but it does work in perfect synergy with our Celestial, Anhydrous Facial Clay Mask, our Solaris, Facial Day Concentrate and our Calendula, Luminous Facial Day Cream.
Directions for Use:
Application: with dry hands and a dry face (do not pre-wet your skin, as the oil needs direct contact with sebum and makeup to work), apply and massage, dispensing a quarter-sized amount of the oil into your palms. Gently massage the oil onto your face and neck for 1–2 minutes using upward, circular motions.
Steam: Run a clean washcloth under very warm (not scalding) water and wring it out. Place the warm, damp cloth over your face for 30–60 seconds to open pores and allow the oil to loosen grime. Remove: Use the same warm cloth to gently wipe away the oil, makeup, and dirt. Repeat this process (rinse cloth, wipe) until the skin feels clean but nourished.
Finish: Pat skin dry. No toner or heavy moisturiser is usually needed, as the almond oil leaves a light, protective barrier.
