As we’re heading into winter, the cold air and central heating dries out my lips. So I need to take more care of my lips and give it some TLC.
Say bye bye to dry, chapped lips! This formula is super hydrating with nourishing oils and shea butter to moisturise and soften lips. The consistency is super soft and it melts onto the lips leaving it soft, smooth and moisturised.
I love that it doesn’t feel greasy or sticky on the lips and it also smells good. It has a light citrus aroma with hints of nutty hemp.
Ooh! – Oils of Heaven Organic Apricot Revitalising Face Oil (30ml | £19)
Organic cold pressed Apricot Oil is pressed from oil-rich kernels of the Apricot fruit and resembles the natural sebum produced by our skin. It is extremely good for dry and sensitive skin, especially for maturing skin. It helps to revitalise and soften tired looking skin while smoothing fine lines due to its excellent ability to deeply penetrate the skin.
Ingredients:
100% Prunus armeniaca kernel oil
I’m a huge fan of face oils and love OOH! oils of heaven. Their oils are high quality and very effective.
Apricot oil contains high levels of Oleic (Omega 9) and Linoleic (Omega 6) Essential Fatty Acids, Vitamins A & E and is particularly suitable for sensitive, dry, ageing and eczema-prone skin.
It has a nutty, aromatic scent and a light texture that closely resembles our skin’s natural sebum. One of my major skin concerns is dehydration, this oil penetrates deeply into the skin, absorbs quickly and helps to seal in moisture.
It leaves my skin deeply nourished, soft and smooth. I also like to use it on my hair and scalp. I blend a few drops with coconut oil, apply to my hair and scalp and gently massage. This is great if you suffer from a dry and flaky scalp. Afterwards I shampoo and condition. My hair feels soft, shiny and nourished afterwards.

Rich in Omega 6, this Coconut oil is enhanced with highly nourishing and strengthening extracts renowned for their hair benefits. Sesame oil is rich in protein and helps to strengeth hair, Henna helps give thick, healthy and silky hair, while Amla and Rosemary are traditionally used to stimulate scalp circulation and hair growth and are ideal massage.
