Review:Beautifying Oil by Body Shop

I adore the perfumes by Body Shop and so i usually drop by to get my favs from there. But this time something else attracted me,, which was the beautifying oil..

They had a range of flavor but the distinctive one that i remembered was the strawberry beautifying oil because of its lovely smell but i opted for the olive beautifying oil..

The reason to this was:

1. oil is good source of moisture for skin and it balances the water and oil on the skin surface. I've heard ppl saying that ' if u hav oily skin/face then go for oil free prods" this statement is not completely true and applicable for all situation. Every time we wash our face , we tend to strip off the natural layer of oil on the skin surface thus this will stimulate the skin layer to produce more oils. Therefore once after washing our face, it is recommended to apply face oil, and go for plant based oils.

2. I LOVE OLIVE... olives are rich with antioxidants such as polyphenol, vitamin E and K, and carotenoids.. And this antioxidants are very important for immune system strengthening and to protect body from free radical effects.

3. Its also an anti-inflammatory agent

Now, let go to the review part:

The oil claims to:

  • can be used for body , face and hair
  • moisturizes, smooths and illuminates
  • active ingredients: organic olive oil, kukui, sweet almond and marula oil
Direction: Apply to damp or dry skin and dry hair

AND this is my opinion on this product:
  • it has a bit of jasmin-ey fragrant to it (which is quit nice n not strong)
  • a lil sticky
  • skin feels smooth instantly
I also apply it on my hair and leave it for 30 min before washing. My hair feels smooth.. 

Therefore , my verdict, this oil is better as a hair oil compared to body oil
