I love using face oil - and for someone who has dehydrated skin, with a touch of sensitivity, I always choose a plant-based option. Here is the latest from Clarins and why I like it says editor Trudi Brewer.
Facial oils are a mainstay in my skincare routine. But I like to mix it up, and often add a few drops of oil to moisturiser to give my skin a hydrating boost. Now, I don’t need to do that - after using this fluid-like 2-in-1 oil and lotion elixir - now there is no going back.
Clarins Plant Gold L’Or Des Plantes, $82.
What's in it?
Made from a cocktail of good-for-your-skin plant oils, the nutritious, 100% natural blend is the base from the iconic Clarins Blue Orchid Treatment Oil. This new 2-in1 formula is stacked with macadamia, hazelnut, and grape seed oils, as well as patchouli essential oil, that together helps revitalise and tone the skin.
“Quickly absorbed, sunscreen and makeup can be applied on top, and my skin looks dewy and glowing - never oily. Multi-benefit and radiance-boosting, as far as facial oils go this newbie is skincare on an entirely new level.”
