If you’re new to face oils, you might be envisioning a thick or greasy texture, but the best ones like Dr. Lucy's Rouge Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil isn't that.

The main topic of conversation that I would like to talk about today is the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil that has lovingly been named, "natural retinol alternative" because of it's high Vitamin A, C and Beta-carotene content.

Wait a minute, I thought you wanted to talk about face oil? I do, plus Retinol in face oils!

So what is the difference between Retinol and Retinoid? Here is a simple explanation. A Retinol is not as strong or chemical based like a Retinoid. A Retinol can be in a natural form such as the Organic Rosehip Seed Oil I am talking about and the one I will always recommend. A Retinoid is a chemical, much more powerful and you would need a prescription to get it. Like I have said many times, applying products like Retinoids to your skin will thin the skin, make you look older in the long run, plus can wreak havoc on your hormonal system. You can look at this natural Retinol explanation this way. Think of a bicycle wheel that has ten spokes, that is your Retinol with all the parts working together so that the wheel functions properly. Now think of that wheel with only one spoke, that is like Retinoids, the wheel will not function properly, in fact it will fall apart and breakdown. Whether it is the food we eat or the products we put on our skin, the whole, natural form will always benefit the body and help to turn over youthful, strong cells.

I'm thrilled to say some of the Dr. Lucy products are on that new wave of natural Retinols!

I know, you are probably wondering what I am talking about, well let me explain. As you can see below a photo of the Dr. Lucy "Rouge" Revitalizing Proprietary Blend Face Oil. This magic wand is loaded with light weight, Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Frankincense, Rose Otto (Rose Damascena) plus Rose and Clear Quartz to nourish, revitalize and boost collagen formation just to name a few.

Just a quick note about lighter face oils vs. heavy...

"It is a myth that people with oily skin can't use face oils," says dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, MD. But, that doesn't mean you can use just any oil. For example, he says that those with oily skin will want to avoid heavier oils like olive or avocado, because they're rich in oleic acid which can lead to breakouts. He recommends rosehip oil because it's a lot more lightweight.

8 Rose Hip Seed Oil BENEFITS!...

When we see young, glowing skin, we’re witnessing the skin at its very best stage – the skin structure is still preserved by its naturally produced oils.

Once these oils start decreasing, our delicate acid mantle (the naturally secreted, thin, protective film that covers our skin) is disturbed, but we still hold some power in our hands – We can still transform its state and bring it back to plump, calm, glowing, youthful skin again by nourishing it with natural and organic nutrient dense oils.

To start with, what are face oils?

Face oils are specially formulated skin care, oil based products with mega concentrations of vitamins, antioxidant's and minerals.

They also help to prevent early signs of aging, soothe skin, and boost skin's ability to repair and maintain itself.

Why should you add a face oil to your skin care regime?

To protect your skin from environmental stress, pollution, chemicals and UV rays, which all lead to aging skin.

Will a face oil clog my pores?

On the contrary, they actually help to unclog old sebum, bacteria and old skin cells.

*On a side note, Dr. Lucy's Gentle Crème Cleanser has organic olive fruit oil as it's second ingredient. This natural, gentle oil deeply cleanses impurities from the skin, unclogs pores, and removes all makeup.

Does a face oil really hydrate the skin?

Actually no, face oils do not contain hydrating ingredients like humectants or water.

The mega benefits to a face oil is to seal in moisture and hydration. It also seals in your serum and moisturizer, keeping all those vitamins, antioxidants and minerals locked in to aid in calm, soft, plump, glowing skin!

Will face oil give me acne or make my acne worse?

No. It may sound counter intuitive, but it is quite the opposite. A natural face oil in your skin care routine will actually help to reduce or eliminate acne.

How is this possible?

Face oils like the Dr. Lucy proprietary blend face oils, help acne by softening and removing old sebum, reducing inflammation, preventing excess oil production and killing acne causing bacteria.

"There are some facial oils that can actually help your skin produce less pore-clogging sebum. These facial oils contain ingredients that can kill acne-causing bacteria and help slough off dead skin cells," said Dr. Debra Jaliman, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City

Should I use a face oil at night or in the morning?

Personally I prefer night. Some people are fine with using a face oil in the morning right after their toner. You can always experiment to find out which is best for you!

I'm not sure if I would even like using a face oil, what should I do?

You can always try the Dr. Lucy Sample Kit! Two generous, proprietary blend face oils are inside this kit special kit!

*The Dr. Lucy Proprietary Blend Face Oils are loaded with collagen protecting and producing antioxidants. Plus omega-rich fatty acids to help protect the skin's natural oil barrier, critical In keeping skin calm, plump and moisturized!

With Love and Blessings,

Rebecca

Happy Easter!

The greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him master. Had no degree, yet they called him teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him healer.
