At Lovegrove Essentials HQ we want to make sure you are getting the most out of your products. We aren’t the cheapest product range on the market, but we are pretty reasonable, once you know the quality of what you are getting! But what if you don’t actually know what you’re getting? With this in mind, and with our upcoming campaign for Organic September, we thought we would do a series of blogs on our products, so that you know just how many different uses each one has. How do we use them? How do our customers use them? What are the ingredients and what do they do? Over the next few weeks we will be posting all this information, plus testimonials from happy customers, bloggers, and celebrities.
First up:
Healing Touch Serum.
What does it do?
A light and penetrating serum containing the highest quality natural organic oils, easily absorbed and highly effective with a lovely almond smell. Deeply nourishing, this facial massage oil smooths fine lines, heals and rejuvenates. It counteracts the effects of ageing, is packed with antioxidants and it repairs sun damage and scarring. Gently and deeply hydrating on dehydrated skin, and balancing on oily skin.
What are the ingredients, and what do they do?
Organic Plum Kernel Oil – very rich with excellent skin penetrating abilities, yet does not leave a greasy residue behind. Very high in essential fatty acids that are key to keeping skin bright and healthy. Powerful antioxidants help to protect skin from damaging free radicals.
Organic Apricot Kernel Oil – non-greasy emollient, with high vitamin E content. A softening and stable oil especially suitable for sensitive and dry skin, can also be used for mature skin. The oil is semi-fatty and is easily absorbed by the skin.
Organic Rosehip Seed Oil – an powerfully rejuvenating oil, that is high in vitamin A (retinol). Smooths fine lines and wrinkles. Useful in the treatment of scars, wounds, stretch marks, burns and eczema, where skin regeneration is a key factor.
Organic Argan Oil – a moisturising carrier oil, high in essential fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E, with powerful healing and hydrating properties.
Organic Pomegranate Seed Oil – the only known botanical source of Omega 5, it has strong anti- inflammatory properties and is a good antioxidant. It tackles free radicals so delays skin ageing making the oil very regenerative and even helps to stimulate collagen production. Studies show that it provides protection from sun damage.
Sea buckthorn Oil – protects skin from external factors, well-known for its healing and rejuvenating effects on the skin, can also help heal burns, cuts, wounds, sunburn, rashes and other types of skin damage.
Organic Vitamin E – moisturising, easily absorbed, protects cellular membrane from free-radical damage, enhances blood circulation in skin, anti-inflammatory. A classic antioxidant, it protects against the destruction of the connective tissue caused by free radicals.
What can it be used for?
For oily or combination skin use a five-pence sized amount and massage into the skin for 2 minutes. This will balance any oiliness caused by dehydration.
For dry skin use a one-pence sized amount and massage all over face, neck and décolletage for 2 minutes, or until the product has been absorbed. To maximise absorption, follow with the Lovegrove Essentials Moisture Cream.
Apply under your moisturiser as a night-time booster for dry, mature skin, or add a few drops to your day or night cream.
Use as a massage oil for face, scalp and Indian head massage.
Massage into scars, stretch marks and burns.
Excellent for environmental damage, sun burn or wind burn. Think skiing, sailing, surfing!
Use on dry scalp or on the tips of your hair to hydrate, smooth and prevent damage.
