As a mother, I hardly get time to treat myself, as my top priority is always my family. I am sure a lot of mothers can relate to that. Although it is necessary that we still make some time for that little treat now and again, to give us that little boost we deserve and make us feel like the magical goddesses we are. I recently found a product that is quick and easy to use and makes your skin look and feel unbelievable. This magical little marvel is Weleda Almond Soothing Facial Oil, all-natural soothing oil that is sensitive enough to use on any skin type – even the most delicate.
This facial oil comes in a dark blue glass bottle and once you open the lid you are enticed by the sweet smell that reminds me of marzipan. However, the smell is thanks to the natural oil itself, as the product does not contain any extra preservatives or fragrances. Instead, it only consists of three natural ingredients. Firstly, Sweet Almond Oil that is rich in the essential fatty acids that your skin needs, it replenishes moisture while soothing any skin irritation. Secondly, Plum Kernel Oil, which works with the Almond Oil to soothe and moisturize the skin, it is also rich in antioxidants, Vitamins A, and E. Lastly, Blackthorn Flower Extract that contains the antioxidant Vitamin C in addition to skin toning tannins.
The oil is a faint amber colour and feels light and gentle in my hands, rubbing it into my face it absorbs effortlessly into my skin unlike other oils I have tried before, but still gives my skin light sheen and a barrier of protection. After every use, it makes my skin feel smooth to the touch and it even soothes the irritation I felt from dry skin that was a result of too much stress and little sleep. I use this oil mainly in the evenings before I go to bed, to moisturize my skin after a long day. The result is definitely worth it; my skin is less irritated and smoother. I sometimes even use it with my moisturizing cream daily, to give my skin some protection when I wear makeup. Another wonderful thing about it is that you can use it as a makeup remover, just a small amount of it on a cotton ball and you can remove your makeup easily without causing any irritation to the skin. If that is not enough, it even smoothes smooth lines and wrinkles – any woman’s wish.
Not only is this a top quality, all-natural product, it has the certified approval of dermatologists. Additionally, this product received the 2014 Best of Beauty Award in the sensitive skin category by Allure – one of the most desirable awards. I will definitely recommend this facial oil to any woman in the world who feels they deserve a little pampering. It will surprise you and become a usual part of your daily routine – making you feel like the goddess you are.
