When I heard that the makers of Bio-Oil were launching six new skincare oils, I was curious. When I heard that the products would be selling for R80 a pop at Clicks, I got excited. When I tried them, I was hooked.
Lipidol is brand new range of skincare oils that launched in August 2014. The range consists of 6 oils.
I love using oils for my face, body and hair so I don’t need a lot of convincing, but in case you do, here is why Lipidol says our skin needs oil:
‘The outermost layer of the skin is an oily layer. Its purpose is to hold moisture in the skin; an important function because moisture facilitates enzyme activity, which in turn leads to healthy, radiant skin. There are however occasions when moisture does escape. The main culprit is daily washing with soap, which strips away the skin’s oily layer. Another is a dry climate, which draws moisture from the skin into the outside air. Also, as the skin ages it produces less oil and it becomes harder to hold moisture in the skin. It is not possible to replace lost moisture by applying moisture to the skin as the skin’s moisture comes from within. The advantage of using oil in everyday skincare is that the skin’s natural oily layer is continually supplemented.’
I am currently using 5 of the products and I am very impressed. The quality is superb, the packaging is simple and you won’t find better in this price range. I will be posting my reviews on the individual products soon. My favourites so far are the After Shower Oil and Overnight Face Oil.
Check out the stand at Clicks. Chances are that you will not be disappointed. I’m not.
