Oil seems to be a dirty word in some beauty circles but when the right type is used in the right place and at the right time, it can be the most wonderful thing ever!
Moroccanoil Light Oil Treatment for fine and light-colored hair - 100ml - $37.50 - It's alcohol free and absorbs very quickly while it adds shine and long term conditioning benefits without a sticky residue. Apply a small amount through damp hair and style as usual. I have been wanting to try Moroccanoil for ages but knew that the original formula would be too heavy for my fine hair - was I ever happy to hear that they had been listening and created a light version to combat this very issue!
It's sold in salons and you can check out the website to find the location closest to you -
www.moroccanoil.comshu uemura cleansing beauty oil premium A/O advanced formula - 150ml - $40 - suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin - if you have ever had trouble with your usual cleanser at getting all of your foundation, lipstick or eye makeup off, you will want to try this! The natural oils contained were specially selected to solubilize stubborn waxes and oils in waterproof mascara, foundation and lip colour as well as oxidized sebum, which accelerated the aging process. As well, it contains green tea - an anti-oxidant and ginko leaf - to stimulate micro-circulation - extracts. The only tricky part for me was learning how to use it correctly. I am used to wetting my face and then rubbing in a cleanser but with this you smooth over a dry face and then wet your face to emulsify the oil. Available at select Holt Renfrew stores.
Body Blitz Argan Oil Face Serum - 30ml - $65 - From Canada's first authentic water spa for women comes a line of products to give you the Blitz experience at home. All of the Body Blitz products are made with 100% essential oils and are free of parabens, artificial colours and detergents to reflect the company's on-going commitment to a healthy body and a healthy environment you would expect the product to feel less luxe and more granola - not so! The serum is my favourite of the line and is made from 75% organic argan oil, organic olive oil, organic aloe vera, rose damask and organic lavender, not only does it feel good, it smells good too!
Not to worry if you aren't in Toronto and can't go to the spa to buy your products - Canada and US spa-ers can now buy the Body Blitz products online! Check it out at
www.bodyblitzspa.com - if you are in the area and want to swing by you can find them at 471 Adelaide Street West - 416-364-0400 - and while you are at it, book yourself a treatment!
Argan Magic Nourishing Bath Oil - 236ml - $25 - naturally fragranced with orange blossoms and white rose petals which would make you think it would smell floral but there is also pomegranate, which gives it a wonderful fruity smell. If you love to soak in a tub as much as I do you will love the way it soaks into every little bit of dry skin and makes it silky smooth! If you want bubbles you can add a bit of bubble bath with it, I didn't find it changed how well it worked at all! Available from The Shopping Channel -
www.theshoppingchannel.comNeutrogena Body Oil - 250ml - $12.99 - if you're more of a shower girl, your thirsty skin will appreciate this light sesame seed oil. I find it works best if I apply it while my skin is still a little wet and I also love applying it before I go to bed to wake up to super soft skin!
What about you guys - are there any oils that you use that you can't live without?!
