Beauty Pick of the Month – December 2014

Firstly, Happy New Year to all my readers and a huge thank you for making my first year of blogging an amazing one. I’m really looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings us beauty box addicts.

It’s that time of the month again when I pick my favourite product which I received in one of my many beauty boxes. This month’s showstopper is the wonderful Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil which I received in my Look Fantastic Beauty Box,  it’s done wonders for my skin this month.

If you had asked me to try an oil on my face a few months ago I probably would of run a mile! I’ve always been skeptical about facial oils and was convinced that they would never benefit my oily and spot-prone skin. I automatically assumed that I would end up with an even oilier complexion, giving spots the ideal conditions to spawn!

It was only a few months ago that I introduced oils into my beauty regime having received one especially for oily and combination skin in a previous beauty box. So I took the plunge and haven’t looked back since. I’m just kicking myself for not trying these earlier on as they really do work wonders even for oiliest skin types. It was in fact Mr Ole Henriksen himself who said “Fight oil with oil—it works like a charm”! He wasn’t wrong!

The Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil features a lightweight texture infused with natural citrus aromas and absorbs quickly to soften, condition and moisturise dull and tired skin. It’s infused with Rosehip oil, vitamin C and essential fatty acids which improves your skin’s own natural rejuvenating abilities while the tangerine and lemongrass oils soothe inflammation and minimises pores without a greasy residue.

I’ve recently had a bout of bad skin and turned to this oil, hoping it would restore my skin back to its normal state. I’ve been using this three times a week just before bed and I’ve already noticed an improved difference in my skin. My complexion is much more balanced which has prevented any further breakouts and in the morning it leaves my skin glowing, luminous, and much more happy looking. Any scars from previous blemishes also appear to be more blurred. This miracle worker is a great pick me up, perfect for brightening up dull and problematic skin this winter for even the oiliest and sensitive of skin types.
