Oh hormones. Why must you torment me in this way? When I hit my final month of pregnancy at the beginning of February, my skin decided it wanted to go on a complete freak out. Honestly, not just a little breakout, it was awful. I had sore, red patches all over my face and especially on my chin and around my eyes. I put it down to pregnancy and hoped that it would disappear once I'd given birth. Fast forward to 3 weeks after the birth of Freddie and my skin is still struggling. My chin especially has been so sore and I have some red scarring left behind on other areas of the face. My skin feels constantly tight even though I've been using many of the same products I've always used with no issues. It's really made me feel quite shitty to be honest and I've been desperate to find something to sort it out! I could no longer blame pregnancy, but then again I know it takes a while for hormones to settle down after having a baby. Anyway, I digress. I was browsing the beauty bit in TK Maxx last week (as I do on a regular basis), and I came across this product from a brand I'd never heard of.
Tisserand Aromatherapy Rosehip Beauty Oil (For Mature Skin - I figured that can only be a good thing), is a 100% natural, highly nourishing oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the Chilean Wild Rose. Also containing natural fruit oils, this facial oil is rich in essential fatty acids and Vitamin E, and aims to hydrate and help smooth and improve the texture of dry, damaged or mature skin.
I'd read lots about the benefits of Rosehip Oil in the past, but I was happy using my regular facial oils (The Body Shop & Botanics offerings) until they no longer made any difference to my hormonal freaky skin! So when I spotted this oil at a bargain price of £9.99 (RRP £18), I just couldn't leave the shop without it. I've been using it day and night for the past week and can honestly say I think (don't wanna jinx it) that it's helping. My skin seems to be settling down a hell of a lot; it's starting to clear up, doesn't feel tight and my makeup is finally starting to sit better. There's light at the end of the tunnel - woooop! This is the first facial oil that I've tried with a spray pump as opposed to a pipette, but I kind of like it. I find two squirts is enough to cover my whole face and neck and it feels really rich and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It sinks in really quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue behind. Overall I'm so pleased I picked this up and have really high hopes in it eventually sorting out my current skin issues.
