Dr. Organic Rose Otto Restoring Oil Facial Serum | Review

Rose Otto Oil has been used for many centuries as a beauty and therapeutic oil. No wonder it is still loved until today. It has endless beneficial properties which make it an ideal oil to use. It is an aromatic essential oil with a lot of skin calming, healing, anti-aging and uplifting properties. It helps restore sensitive skin and helps preventing fine lines and premature aging signs.

Rose Otto is great in promoting a more youthful look. It has also hydrating properties which help the skin to stay soft and adequately moisturized.

Since it is an oil one might think it is not suitable for oily skin types, which in all fairness is not the case. Our skin needs a certain level of oil. If we strip our skin out of its natural oils the body will produce more oil and hence the skin becomes oilier. What is important to keep in mind is to use oils which are not heavy and are as natural as possible. Although the skin stays shiny after application, I didn’t feel that the skin was clogged or anything. And that is something which is of extreme importance. On the other hand I felt that my skin, in the morning, feels more supple and smooth and hydrated. My personal opinion is to use this just before your night cream, after cleansing your face. I also find that the night cream works better when the Rose Otto oil is applied beforehand. It has lots of antioxidant properties which help in removing the ‘dirt’ or ‘pollution’ which settle on our face throughout the day. The antioxidants help to remove radicals which in the long term age the skin. It has also astringent properties which will help in diminishing the appearance of broken capillaries to give a more even coloured complexion.

I have tried applying this oil in the morning; however I don’t suggest it to people with combination/oily skin. It might work fine for people with dry skin though.

Having had these past cold weeks, I strongly suggest in investing in a good facial oil to help restore the skin hydration and its overall appearance.

The product retails for €12.40. I hope you found this review helpful and if you want more information on the products and from where you can get them kindly check the links here!

Dr. Organic Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner | Review

Cold weather brings dry hair and having a good hydrating treatment is essential in keeping the hair shiny and healthy. I am always looking for a good hair mask/treatment. I do have my favourite picks and all but I like to try out new things. A while back I was invited to a Dr. Organic Event and when we got to choose the products we wanted to try this Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner was the first item I picked.

The Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment Conditioner is a bioactive hair and scalp treatment. It has an excellent blend of organic oils and extracts which are formulated in such a way to provide a rich and concentrated conditioning balm, which instantly envelopes the keratin fibres found in the hair, with nourishing phospholipids and fatty acids. It nourishes and repairs damaged hair whilst increasing core strength to protect against breakage. The conditioner helps seal in vital moisture to damaged, dull, dry and fly away hair.

Moroccan Argan Oil is an incredibly rich source of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. Is has been used by women of the Mediterranean for centuries for both culinary delights and cosmetic purposed. It also works wonders for skin, hair and nails.

Having been a convert for argan oil for the past 2 years, I was way more than interested in trying this product. It is marketed a pre shampoo treatment. I think that this depends entirely on the state of your hair. My hair ends tend to be the driest and hence I tend to concentrate more product there. I do not apply it before shampoo, I prefer to use it as a deep conditioner/mask where I leave for 5-10 minutes, although you can certainly leave it more depending on your hair. Having said that, some people may find it a bit heavy on the hair, in which case I suggest using it as a pre shampoo treatment, which will still give the hair its moisture but to a lesser degree. I am quite sceptical when it comes to applying products on the scalp. Mine gets pretty bad build so I don’t apply heaps of products there. It does help to get rid of the dry flakes that sometimes build on the scalp.

The product retails for €16.87. I hope you found this review helpful and if you want more information on the products and from where you can get them kindly check the links here!

Happy week!

Dr.Organic Organic Royal Jelly Night Cream | Review

It is definitely getting cold here in Malta. Mind you I do love winter quite a lot. With the change in temperature comes a change in the skin care I use. I have quite oily skin on my face but in winter it tends to become somewhat drier.

A couple of weeks back I was invited to an event organised by Dr.Organic . This first review is that of the dr.organic Organic Royal Jelly Night Cream.

Royal Jelly is a substance which is used to feed the Queen Bee. Normal working bees are only fed this during the first few days of their larvae stage. The Queen bee is continued to be fed this Royal jelly. It has been used since ancient times as an anti aging product. 

Royal jelly has moisturizing, nourishing, rejuvenating, soothing and healing properties due to its rich and precious composition consisting of  variety of nutrients, plants hormones, minerals  and vitamins essential to the body. Royal Jelly contains the essential amino acids which are the building blocks of collagen which supports the skin tissue and is very important in maintaining the skin's firmness.

 It helps with tightening fine lines and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Royal jelly also assists in keeping the skin hydrated  and hence the skin is soft, supple and smooth.

I can go on and on about the benefits of Royal Jelly but I am just going to add some info about the product itself. 

It is an overnight repairing and rescue cream with a rich, luxurious texture containing a rich blend of Organic Royal Jelly, Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Calendula, Macademia Oil, Papaya Oil, Japanese Fruit Wax, Irish Moss, Shea Butter, Honey, Red Clover, Heather, Vitamin C plus Cedarwood, Lemon, Geranium, Patchouli, Petitgrain and Sandalwood Essential Oils. The skin is nourished and hence it is more radiant, firm and has a smooth appearance. Overnight, skin cell renewal is stimulated and this helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

This cream may be my next favourite thing. I am quite picky when it comes to night creams as a lot tend to be quite thick and oily and do not really do anything. I feel my skin supple and more radiant the morning after. It also feels more hydrated and nourished. I feel that it's jelly/cream consistency makes this product ideal for all the skin types. It doesn't feel oily on the skin although it takes a while to be absorbed through the skin.

What is more good about this product is that is readily available in various stores around Malta (check this link here to check the nearest store) and it doesn't really break the bank like some expensive night creams. It costs 9.49 euros. 

Hope you found this review helpful!

A must buy for winter!
