The Power of Plant Oils this Winter

As we head into the colder months with the heating kicking in, our skin can often feel dry and its appearance dull-looking. If you haven’t considered a facial oil until now, then now is most definitely the time to re-think about adding one to your skincare regime. Facial oils are a great way to rehydrate the complexion, whilst boosting radiance and skin firmness.

Since ancient times, people have extracted the oil from plant kernels, fruits and seeds and used them to care for skin. The composition of most natural plant-based oils is similar to the lipids of human skin and absorbed into the skin’s hydrolipid layer where they can be metabolised by our body, leading to highly nourished, healthy-looking skin.

Don't be put off about oils being greasy or increasing breakouts. The Manuka Doctor Replenishing Oil will work its magic without a greasy side effect and is quickly absorbed. Even oily and blemish prone skin can be improved and rebalanced. Facial oils protect your skin for long periods of time by locking in water and moisture that can be eroded by harsh weather and indoor heating.

The Replenishing Oil is packed with powerful antioxidants from 16 botanical omega-rich oils and has been clinically proven, in independent trials, to make skin look more luminous, younger-looking whilst reducing fine lines. Long term benefits include reduced wrinkle depth, increased firmness and skin elasticity.

To use any facial oil, a top tip is to make sure you exfoliate regularly so it can sink right in to get maximum benefit. Try massaging your skin with upward strokes, this will increase blood flow and help move and drain any excess puffiness. Just use 2-3 drops of oil each time, remember a little goes a long way. You can mix it with your moisturiser for speed and if you wish also apply to your hands, elbows and around the eye area.
