OSKIA London Restoration Oil

Reviewed by HannaLeave a comment

A facial oil to help hydrate, sooth and replenish skin for a much more healthy and radiant looking complexion!

I got a small sachet sample of the OSKIA London Restoration Oil with my last skicare purchase from ‘Face the Future’ and figured I would try it out and include it within my current skincare regime!

The smell of the facial oil reminded me of pamper sessions, where they’d use aromatherapy oils – so the smell was really nice. The oil itself, you really didn’t need to use very much, a little really did go a long way.

How did it make my skin feel? Super soft and glowing. It also worked really well with my current Jan Marini skincare routine – I needed even less of my current moisturiser.

Of course, I only had a very small sample of this oil, so I can’t really give this a proper review! But it did smell lovely, made my face feel hydrated and I didn’t need to use much.

So, for me, this seems to be a good facial oil and does appear to live up to its claim:

“A beautiful, delicate blend of nutrients, floral oils & extracts to help restore the skin’s youthful vitality. High tech natural actives and oils, from African Acmella, Lupin, Sea Fennel, Heart Seed Vine, Turmeric, Starflower, Rose Hip Seed & Evening Primrose, help soothe, hydrate and replenish, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines for a healthy, radiant complexion.“

The Cream Moisturiser Full of Natural Oils

Reviewed by HannaLeave a comment

A natural, creamy moisturiser with a subtle sweet fragrance to help hydrate and moisturise dry skin.

Why did I decide to try out this type of product?

DEHYDRATED • ITCHY • DRY SKIN

Occasionally, my skin gets very dry and itchy, especially on my sides and chest. I’m not great at remembering to moisturise daily, so my skin was probably a tad bit dehydrated. After receiving this moisturiser from MooGoo, as a free gift with my last order, I thought I’d give it a go!

What are the claims of the MooGoo Full Cream Moisturiser?

Here’s a short extract from the MooGoo website:

“We made this delicious moisturiser full of natural oils that are high in the types of fatty acids that healthy skin needs. These help to hydrate, moisturise and pamper dry skin. We also chucked in some Milk Protein to help increase skin elasticity which keeps skin looking young, supple and s-MOO-th, and everyone loves that.“

So, what’s the word online?

After looking on the Holland & Barrett website, I found a fair few reviews with people saying that it worked great for their eczema, the moisturiser soaked into their skin really well and it helped with their dry, sensitive skin. Then there was a small handful who thought the moisturiser was really greasy and that they didn’t like the smell!

What was my initial thoughts?

The packaging is clean and clear, which reflects the company’s image of having a very natural and gentle product range.

I absolutely love the smell of this moisturiser. It has a very natural, creamy, coconut smell to it and felt really nice on my skin.

Did the MooGoo Full Cream Moisturiser meet my expectations?

Yes. This moisturiser smells lovely. It was easy to apply to my skin due to being a nice creamy cream rather than a lotion, and it soaked in really well – making my skin feel silky and hydrated.

The Creamy Cream Moisturiser

I did try applying this moisturiser to “damp skin after washing“, as suggested by the directions, but that really didn’t work for me. Maybe I should have towelled off a bit more, who knows, but I would rather stick to applying it to dried skin than damp!
