What People Are Saying: 



"I have to share a story. I hadn't seen my family for about a month. I have been using the Rosehip oil for I think close to 3 weeks now. We were all sitting at the table and they all said Wow, your skin looks great. And I know they really meant it. They were amazed at the difference. So of course, I told them all about your oils. It is great. Thanks so much." - Cheryl 



"What I love the best about them is that they are not perfumed nor have a strong smell. I have only used, on a constant basis, the Argan. So far I like the argan... I've noticed improvements in the small dry patches of skin and my skin overall feels softer. Make-up seems to glide on smooth. Thank you so much for the great customer service and product!!" - Carlise 



"I highly recommend this line of beauty/skin products. Remember, I'm the guy that launched Clinique, Smashbox, MAC, Aveda, Origins, Jo Malone, and other major brand's online advertising and e-commerce initiatives---since 1999. 

You gotta have Olìe!" - Matthew G.

Is Acne Prone Skin Driving you NUTS!?

Breakouts are never fun, especially when they are seemingly endless.  Maybe you've tried every over-the-counter product out, or are a regular fixture at your dermatologist's office and still your skin is not cooperating?  

If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation from harsh chemicals of acne products and still haven't found balance for your skin, maybe it's time to try organic oils?

Now, don't freak out over the word "oil"...it's okay.  These organic oils are not like the baby oil you may have slathered on your body in attempts for a "killer" tan back in the 80's - eek! You will not go slip sliding away with these oils. I promise.  They absorb quickly into the skin and will not clog pores. 

Organic skin care oils are vegetable oils, pure and simple.  While they are essentially as edible as the olive oil in your pantry, certain oils are more lightweight, and appropriate for everyday skin care, than others.  

Here are a few that are great for everyday skin care:

Argan, Almond, Hazelnut, Rose Hip, Evening Primrose, Jojoba.

Balance for Acne Prone Skin - Hazelnut Oil

Of the list above, the best choice for acne prone skin is Hazelnut Oil, although everyone is different. Non-greasy and lightweight, Hazelnut Oil absorbs into the skin quickly and offers astringent and antibacterial properties which refine and tighten pores. Hazelnut oil controls excess sebum and acne. It is also effective in strenghtening capillaries, so it seems to reduce blotchiness.  The moisturizing properties of this oil also help to tone skin by maintaining elasticity.  

What's in a Nut?

You might love it in Nutella (Yum!)...but did you know that Hazelnuts are rich in omega-3, 6 & 9? And Hazelnut Oil also has 2-3 times more Vitamin E than Olive Oil.  That's great news for your skin, since we know that the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E & Essential Fatty Acids are vital in protecting skin cells from ultra violet light, pollution, drugs, and other cell damaging free radicals. Hazelnuts also contain high levels of flavanols responsible for reducing inflammation. Flavanols also have potential anti-aging effects, like slowing the process of wrinkling and protection from UV damage. 

Seek a Natural Balance

While using oils on acne prone skin still might seem counter-intuitive, it might be worth a try.  Remember, however, a little goes a long way with these oils.  All you need is 2-3 drops for your entire face and neck - less if you are targeting only certain areas.  Make sure your skin is clean and that you are using a high-quality, pure oil from a trusted source.  Some oils can be filled with cheaper, less potent and less appropriate skin care oils - this can upset the balance and reduce the benefits of the oil.  Organic is also always better.  Begin with application once a day - evening is usually good.  If your skin responds well, you might add morning application.  Or you might try one oil for morning and another for evening.  For Example, Rose Hip is an excellent morning oil, as it has brightening and moisturizing properties and works well about 15 mins before makeup application.  Argan, Hazelnut or Evening Primrose might be a good choice for evening depending upon your skin's needs.

The New Power Trio: Argan, Rose Hip & Evening Primrose Oil

Last post we looked at the benefits of supplements for our skin and which vitamins and nutrients were the most important.  The choices of skin care products today are endless, so how do we ensure ourselves that what we're putting on our skin will work and more importantly, won't irritate.

If you're sensitive, or have simply tried everything with little results...maybe it's time to go back to basics.

Looking for powerful, pure benefits for your skin?  Want to skip the fillers, chemicals and non-essentials?

If you're longing for pure & potent ingredients to save your skin, then natural & organic oils might be a good option for your skin care regimen. Here are three oils that pack a punch! They are effective, non-greasy, absorb quickly and offer results.

Argan Oil: A Daily Essential
Argan oil contains 80% unsaturated fatty acids and 3x's the antioxidant power found in Olive oil.

With exceptionally high levels of essential fatty acids, including linoleic acid (omega-6), Argan oil protects and repairs skin. Research points to linoleic acid's anti-inflammatory, acne reductive, and moisture retentive properties. When applied topically to the skin it can help prevent or delay wrinkling, making skin more toned and supple. Argan oil's benefits are further complimented by very high levels of Vitamin E.

Rose Hip Oil: A One, Two Punch
1. Rose Hip oil contains exceptionally high concentrations of Vitamin A, which helps to delay the effects of skin aging, assists with cell regeneration, and promotes collagen and elastin levels to increase.  This results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin with greater elasticity.

2. Rose Hip oil also contains high amounts of essential fatty acids, especially linoleic (Omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acids (Omega-3), which are important skin nutrients. Omega-3s, are the most important here, as they are more difficult to get in our diet and essential to cell function, immune support and fighting disease.

Rose Hip contains 35% Omega-3 & 46% Omega-6! It's potent, powerful and healing.

Evening Primrose Oil: A Triple Threat
Evening Primrose oil contains some of the highest concentrations of GLA (gamma linoleic acid) - a whopping 71%! This essential fatty acid is known for it's anti-inflammatory properties and is essential for collagen synthesis.  It has been used to treat inflammation from rheumatoid arthritis, pms, and is a good choice for treatment of skin conditions like rosacea and eczema.

So as the winter days grow colder, remember that there is help for your dry, irritated skin. Natural and organic oils just might save the day!
