How to use the FLORA+ FIONA FACIAL OIL

Lots of people have been asking me how to use Facial oil. Here is what I recommend:

To start:

  • Remove all make-up.
  • Put 3-4 drops onto the palm of your hand and rub together gently.
    (If you are using the roller ball, roll on your fingertips with circular movements to release the oil and rub together).
  • Hold your palms up to the front of the face and breathe in the natural aroma of the oils. For me this is the best part.  Breathe in deeply and inhale the natural fragrance of the oils, creating a wonderful feeling of wellbeing.
  • Then, massage onto the face, neckline and décolletage with gentle upward movements. Be very careful around the eye area and just pat this delicate area with the fingertips.
  • Take as much time as you can, even if it’s just a minute or two, these are valuable moments to enjoy the touch and aroma sensations with these natural oils. Remember, it’s all part of caring for yourself and your skin and giving a little time to tune into nature and all its gifts.

When you are using pure plant oils, you will notice a visible radiance and glow to the skin.  I have chosen some of my favourite essential oils, Jasmine, Vetiver and Red Orange because they are deeply comforting and soothing and have mood enhancing properties that help to calm the mind and soothe the skin.

I have also added 6 plant oils which are easily absorbed and packed with vitamin A, C and E, and the Omegas, so necessary for the skin to be nourished and hydrated.

So when are my favourite times to use the Facial Oil?

Firstly, I use the oil post shower in the morning on damp skin. It gives me a positive start to the day and works well as a primer before make-up.

My husband also uses it post shave as a skin balm.

But for me, my special time with the facial oil is the night-time ritual I have developed so that I take some precious time for myself.  The bottle is on my bedside table and because the oils are calming and grounding, they are a perfect way for me to end the day.
