REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

The Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil is the best facial oil I have ever used. The BEST. While there are many face oils that I like, even a few that I love (for various reason), I have found my holy grail skin oil for winter.

REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

REVIEW: Dr. Dermal Omega Skin Oil

Let’s start off with why I wanted to try it in the first place. My skin hates winter. With a passion. My skin goes from combination to dry, scaly, sensitive, patchy and tight. Within days. Freezing cold weather and air-conditioned offices really wreak havoc.

I needed something that would calm, soothe, nourish and hydrate without being too heavy and leaving my skin feeling greasy.

This is what Dr. Dermal says about their Omega Oil:

Your skin cells require Essential Fatty Acids (Omegas) to maintain their optimal structural integrity. This ensures that your skin maintains adequate hydration and reduces TEWL (trans epidermal water loss).

Our Omega Oil is a game changer – it’s the first skin oil in the world to have complete Omegas 3, 5, 6, 7 & 9.

It’s animal friendly too, using only plant sourced Omegas and natural ingredients.

They call this oil a game changer and I agree 100%. After the first application I could almost feel my skin sigh with relief. And within days I could see the change. Hydrated, soft, smooth, glowing skin. My skin LOVES this oil. As I’ve mentioned, my skin is extremely dry in winter and I used the oil twice a day for the first few weeks. Even though the oil doesn’t feel extremely light, my skin just lapped it up and within minutes everything was absorbed.

I have to mention the awesome packaging. I simply adore the dropper. So handy, and not a drop of this precious oil goes to waste.

If you suffer from dry, irritated, environmentally-stressed skin, you want this oil. I promise you, it really is amazing. It changed my skin.

The Omega Skin Oil retails for R675 and you can shop online. Remember to use my discount code PRETTYPLEASE5 to save 5% on all your purchases on www.drdermal.com. 

I really am so impressed with this product and with this local brand. I can’t wait to get my hands on more skin care winners from Dr. Dermal.

Naturals Beauty is a thing of beauty!

Facial oils are a necessity during the colder months, especially if you have dry skin or you feel you need a little assistance in the anti-ageing department. I have two oils that I love, but when I read about the Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher from Naturals Beauty I had to get it ASAP.

With my purchase the lovely Tanya from Naturals Beauty also included the Avocado Night Treatment and a Lip Balm for me to try out.

The Sweet Orange Wrinkle Banisher is my new favourite oil. It contains ingredients that soften and moisturise the skin, eliminates toxins, supports collagen formation and it contains AHA to rejuvenate. The orange scent of this oil is just fantastic and immediately makes you feel pampered. It’s just lovely. The oil feels a little thicker than my other oils, but it still absorbs completely. My skin feels soft and pampered when I apply this oil. My face is left with a radiant glow that is noticeable on application and the next morning. The directions say to apply the oil to the areas around the eyes and mouth (to target the areas that usually start to show signs of ageing first), but I also like to apply it to my whole face and neck when my skin feels particularly dry and dull and it needs a little extra TLC. I will most definitely buy this product again. R55 for 10ml.

Tanya warned me that the Avocado Night Treatment is very rich and is suitable for more mature skin, but I am so glad I tried it. It is an amazing cream and perfect when my skin needs an extra boost of moisture and more TLC than usual. My skin goes from slightly (sometimes more) oily in summer to very sensitive and dehydrated with dry patches in winter. This cream contains avocado oil which assists in the regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin. It will assist in healing sun damage, scars and reduce age spots. It also contains geranium oil that has antiseptic, refreshing and astringent qualities which will help to balance oil (sebum) production in the skin. Even though this cream is very rich, my skin absorbs it beautifully and I love it. I have also been using it on my hands and it is a brilliant treat for dry, sensitive and even eczema-prone skin. I love applying it to my hands just before going to bed. I will definitely buy this cream for myself. R55 for 50ml.

Another little treat was the lip balm. To be honest, I wasn’t too excited to try it as a lot of natural lip balms just don’t do it for me. Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner! The balm is beautifully scented, light on the lips but very moisturising. Lovely. R20 for 10ml.

During the time I tried the above products, I remembered that I had a milk cleanser sample that I received at a BloggersWhoBless meet earlier in the year. It was still very hot then so I was happy with my foaming cleansers that I was using at the time.

The cleanser is thick, creamy and gentle. I have been using it as a cleanser in the morning and I love it. It cleanses well without stripping my skin. My skin feels smooth, soft and clean after use. I highly recommend it. R80 for 125ml.

I am so impressed with Naturals Beauty. The products are of superb quality and you can be assured that it doesn’t contain any ‘nasties’. The packaging is also pretty and the products are very affordable.

Naturals Beauty gets two thumbs up! I can’t wait to try more from this brand. The baby range also looks brilliant. Visit their FB page to check out the special on the baby range that is running this month.

Naturals Beauty can be very proud of the brand and products they have created.
