Well it's already February, considering that we have still 11 months to
cross- no harm to still call this as New Year to keep the zeal alive. This being my
first beauty related post, wanted to pen down something which I actually tried
& then give some genuine comments. The product I picked up today is not
newly launched or something & there have been already
many reviews on it. But there are times when you come across
something & fall in love with that so much that you would like to spread
out the information to everyone & give your honest comments - this is one
of a kind, The Body Shop Oils of Life!
I have been a fan of The Body Shop products
since long time but never thought I would invest on facial oil any day.
Firstly, the fact that it's oil stopped me. I have a combination skin on face,
T-zone is oily & I also gets dry spots. So, applying oil was never an
option. Oil on body is still okay, but face? - A big No! I used to see one of
my hostel senior applying olive oil every day on her face.
She believed it gives her that glow & keep her skin healthy. She
used to ignore the stickiness & just dealt with it. :o
Secondly, this is a higher range product. I
love skin care but am not really in favor of randomly buying beauty stuffs
& just piling up your dressing table. When I last visited The Body Shop, I
picked up & just kept that on the same place. Instead bought some
amazing body scrubs.
What convinced me to buy this product were the
reviews that I saw afterwards. There has been a buzz recently with different
brands launching their facial oils. I was like why not give a try & then
see. Finally I ordered the product online & got it delivered in 2
days. 
Super excited me adored the packaging as it
arrived. By now, you must be knowing that the oil comes in a small glass bottle
which is having a bit ombré effect. Robust & leak proof, secured
with a little dropper which allows to take out the desired amount of product
without wastage- Beautiful!
The brand writes about the product as "OILS
OF LIFE™ INTENSELY REVITALIZING FACIAL OIL-Give new life to your skin with our
new collection infused with black cumin seed oil, rosehip seed oil and camellia
seed oil, known for their supreme revitalizing and repairing properties on
skin. This daily routine has been created to intensely revitalize skin, revive
radiance and leave your skin feeling nourished." So, basically this is a
combination of various oils which has their own beauty benefits & claims to
be close to 100% pure.

| Black Cumin/Nigella Seeds |
Black cumin seeds also known as Nigella seeds
is often used in Indian food but never did I know its skin benefits. It tones
the skin & prevents the skin from acne, allergies & other skin
infections.

| Rosehip |
Rosehip seed oil has anti-ageing properties,
takes care of the fine lines, moisturizes & protects from harmful UV rays. Camellia oil, also known as tea seed oil is the actual green tea oil. It has again Anti-Aging
property & protects skin from
free radical damage. Whoa! You are getting all these skin benefit from a
single product.
As I started using this product, I realized the
fact Oils do not necessarily mean oily. Our skin needs oil, if you don’t
provide- it creates its own. It is always important to maintain that balance,
blessed are those who already has a balanced skin. I need 2-3 drops of this
product to apply all over my face & neck. It is not sticky or typically oil
like texture. It is super light, bendable & skin absorbs very quickly. I love
products which can be easily absorbed by skin, they make skin soft & you
can see instant glow without making skin greasy. It has no such strong odor as
such but I can somehow find a mild nice smell which I think to come from
Nigella seeds. Because I only know the smell of Nigella seeds – so that was
just a wild guess, duh!
You can use 2-3 drops of this oil & apply
every day on your face morning & evening before you apply any cream or
other products. I would say after you apply the oil, give some time like 2-3
mins & then apply other products. You can also mix one drop of this oil
& mix with foundation when you are in hurry & want to do make up super fast.
Now, it has been more than 2 months that I am using this
oil & I have loved this product to the core. I have not used any
moisturizer since then. You can actually feel your skin getting softer &
toned. You do not need much of the product, I have still quite a lot left after using every day. Also heard from 35+ women who have used this product &
noticed amazing results in terms of reducing fine lines. So, in a nutshell-if
you want a single product which can take care of your skin as a whole &
nourish it, give this a try. This will be an investment for your skin even if
you do not have major skin issues. Oils are good & when it comes from such
amazing brand, your money is not wasted. Get new skin this New Year! J
