Hey Beauty Lovers,
I'm so excited to be sharing with you my favorite facial oils that are completely affordable and work really well!I found these about a year ago after I tried so many expensive facial oils hoping that they would give me the most beautiful skin I could ever imagine. While they did give me beautiful skin, I just could not afford rebuying these oils at their heafty price tag. For any long term benefit from oils, you need to be using them consistently for many months. A tiny 1oz bottle of your favorite oil from Sephora will only last you a month or two, and cost a fortune over a years time. It is completely unsustainable for anyone shopping on a budget, and a waste of money even if you could afford it!
After searching everywhere for good quality oils with a lot of good reviews, I discovered an amazing skincare line on Amazon called Radha Beauty. While they have their own website, they have a great selection of facial oils on Amazon. My favorite oils, Argan and Rosehip, had great reviews, so I decided to give them a try. A 4oz bottle was under $15 so I figured I had nothing to lose. I was just so tired of wasting money on simple facial oils that in my opinion shouldn't be so expensive. I bought both oils, and hoped for the best.
When they arrived, I was a little nervous to try them on my face. I still wasn't convinced that a cheaper oil found on Amazon could compete with the quality of the oils sold at Sephora. I tried the Rosehip oil first. I used a few drops as my last step in my evening skincare routine. It turned my skin the same shade of orange as my more expensive Rosehip oils. This gave me hope! I went to sleep, and when I woke up I ran to the mirror. I was expecting my face to be covered in acne, my biggest fear. To my surprise, my skin looked amazing! It was hydrated, bright, and clear. I then decided to try out the Argan oil as my last step in my daytime skincare routine. My skin felt so moisturized all day. I couldn't believe that these inexpensive oils worked just as well as my more expensive versions.
I have been using these oils consistently for about a year now. I can tell you first hand that they are excellent at a fraction of the price of the luxury brands. So what do these oils even do?
Benefits of Rosehip Oil:
- Moisturizing
- Anti-Aging
- Brightening
- Antioxidant (thanks to vitamin A)
- Improves skin texure
- Can help improve the look of scars
Rosehip oil is great for all skin types! If you have oily skin, only use a drop mixed in with your moisturizer. If you have dryer skin, you can pat 1-2 drops of this oil onto your skin after applying your moisturizer to seal everything in. If you have sensitive skin, I recommend trying a drop of the oil on a patch of skin overnight. This is to ensure that you don't have a reaction to the vitamin A in this oil. If you have extremely sensitive skin, I would avoid this oil all together. You are more likely to be sensitive to vitamin A, so I wouldn't risk it. If you have extremely sensitive skin or you are sensitive to vitamin A, you can still enjoy Argan oil.
Benefits of Argan Oil:
- Moisturizing
- Gives the skin a glow
- Great for even very sensitive skin
- Can help with skin elasticity (thanks to vitamin E)
Argan oil is also great for all skin types. Even very sensitive skin types can enjoy Argan oil. I still highly recommend doing a skin patch test overnight if you have very reactive skin. You can apply this oil the same way I recommend applying Rosehip oil. Both oils can also be used all over the body and in the hair.
Since it comes in such a large bottle, I pour 1oz into a smaller tinted glass dropper bottle, and I store the main bottle in the fridge. This keeps the oils from going rancid. I highly recommend this technique if you want to get the 4oz bottle of oil.
One last tip: Mix a drop or two of any of these oils into your foundation for an amazing finish.
