New! Organic Facial Oils

Visitors to our Stourbridge shop, will be familiar with our organic botanical oils.  We introduced them several months ago, since we felt that customers with certain skin conditions would benefit from adding these oils to their skincare regime.  Using these oils in small amounts as a facial serum can be very helpful with certain skin-types, so we're pleased to now have Argan, Jojoba, Rosehip and Tamanu available on the Natroma website, listed under Botanical Oils.  These are certified organic oils (and Leaping Bunny approved too) supplied in 10ml blue glass bottles with a pipette attachment.

We can't make any specific claims about these oils, but have included a little information about each one on the Natroma website and would encourage customers to research each oil's properties.  We've always loved all of these oils so they regularly appear in our products, and we're not surprised that they've become popular with quite a few well know celebs just lately.

For best results use the pipette to dispense between 1-3 drops onto the palm of the hand, then warm the oil by rubbing the palms together.  Apply the oil to the skin in soft patting/massage strokes, and the idea is to only apply sufficient oil that's needed (you'd need more on very dry skin, and less on a combination/oily complexion), so the skin absorbs the oil within a couple minutes.  As we often say "less is more", and definitely try to avoid getting an oil slick on the face!

These oils are also perfect to use if you wish to try a little facial massage.  You'll need to apply a few more drops to allow the fingertips to glide over the skin (it's important that you don't feel like your fingertips are dragging or stretching the delicate skin on the face), and you should aim to massage for a few minutes using gentle circular movements.   The idea is to gently stimulate the skin, and we'd recommend that you do this regularly followed by one of our Natroma Clay Mask treatments.

You can also try adding a drop of your chosen oil to our Natroma moisturiser each day.  We developed the formulation of this cream so it could be enriched and adapted to suit different times of the year, so the extra drop of oil will make the application feel slightly richer than usual.  This is particularly good when the skin is dry and is feeling tight or uncomfortable (perhaps after spending too much time in the sun, or when the weather is very cold).

We hope you enjoy using these oils, and would welcome customer feedback on how they're working!
