I am a firm believer in the power of using oils on your skin year round, especially during the winter months, when brutal winter weather and dry heat can wreck havoc on any attempt to create a uniform and luminous complexion. The key to maintaining skin health during this time of year is using the right products that moisturize and protect.
Today I am thrilled to introduce you to Skin Owl, an organic skincare company founded by beauty entrepreneur Annie Tevelin. Her brand specializes in luxurious face oils formulated to help tackle your skincare needs, whether you have dry, combination or oily skin. All of the oils are infused with Argan oil, an antioxidant powerhouse that contains Vitamin E and linoleic acid, which aid in reducing inflammation and protects the skin from free-radical damage that can lead to premature aging. Annie prides her company on selling products that not only make you look good, but products that also make you feel good - now that is a beauty philosophy that I love.
These oils are amazing, after just four drops of the Geranium oil my skin immediately looked brighter. I applied it right before bed and the aromatic aroma provided a relaxing scent that practically induced sleep. I awoke the next morning with incredibly soft and glowing skin - winter ravaged skin, begone! I want you to have the same experience, so I am partnering with Skin Owl to give away one full-sized oil of your choice! Continue for more...
There are three different types of oils to choose from and just so the man in your life does not feel left out, these oils also work as a fabulous aftershave.
Geranium - Targeted for combination skin. This oil helps improve an uneven skintone and is targeted to improve luminosity.
Lavender - Targeted for oily/sensitive skin. Lavender helps reduce inflammation and brings skin back to a calmer state.
Clary Sage - Targeted for dry skin. This oil helps to reduce fine lines and boosts skins overall radiance.

I've tried a number of oils in the past and this is the first one that has made a difference...really. It is not greasy and is absorbed into the skin really quickly so you don't feel real oily. I use a little during the day, and more at night. Great on your cuticles too.
ReplyDeleteAll of your images are just beautiful!!

Hi Nike!
DeleteThese oils will work wonders for sensitive skin. I would use Lavender which has anti-inflammatory properties that will help calm and soothe the skin. I have found that all of the oils are very gentle, so if you have more combination or dry skin you could use the Geranium or the Clary Sage. Argan oil in general has anti-inflammatory properties too and all of the oils are infused with this ingredient. I hope that this helps!!
