From Galway to Greystones, more women in Ireland are embracing the simplicity and power of facial oils. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, fine lines, or just want to switch to a more natural routine, facial oils are fast becoming a must-have in modern Irish skincare.

If you’ve ever wondered whether facial oils are really worth it — the answer is yes. Especially when they’re made with pure, skin-nourishing ingredients that adapt to your changing skin, year after year.

In fact, it’s exactly why I created my own custom blends — including our Uplift Facial oil and Balance facial oil — using skin-loving botanicals like vitamin E, avocado oil, and golden jojoba blended with pure essential oils to deliver a truly nourishing experience.

Why These Oils Work Wonders

Avocado Oil

Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D & E and provides deep, long-lasting hydration. It also helps support collagen production — perfect for mature or dry skin, or those facing Ireland’s often cold and damp climate.
Benefit: Hydrates, soothes inflammation, and boosts skin suppleness.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is one of the best oils for preventing premature ageing and repairing the skin barrier. It’s ideal for women experiencing changes in skin texture, fine lines, or dullness.
Benefit: Protects against free radicals, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and supports even skin tone.

Golden Jojoba Oil

Golden jojoba is unique — it mimics our skin’s own sebum, making it incredibly gentle and balancing for all skin types.
Benefit: Balances oil, helps prevent breakouts, and keeps skin soft without clogging pores.

These are the core ingredients in my own handmade facial oils, crafted in small batches using organic, cruelty-free, and plant-based ingredients. They're suitable for every skin stage — from early adulthood to post-menopause.

5 reasons why Facial Oils are a must!

1. Facial Oils deliver deep, lasting hydration

Unlike many water-based creams that evaporate quickly, facial oils help lock in moisture and protect your skin’s barrier — a must in Ireland’s damp, chilly climate.

Great for:

Dry or dehydrated skin
Post-menopausal skin
Sensitive skin needing extra care

Our Uplift Facial Oil, with Geranium and Vitamin E oil , is perfect for dry or mature skin — deeply hydrating without clogging pores.

2. They Balance Oily and Combination Skin

Yes — even oily skin can benefit from oils. When your skin lacks hydration, it produces more oil to compensate. A lightweight oil like jojoba helps regulate this process naturally.

Great for:

Hormonal breakouts (common in your 20s–40s).
Oily T-zone with dry cheeks.

Our Balance Facial Oil features Golden jojoba and Ylang Ylang — calming, non-greasy, and brilliant for keeping skin in harmony.

3. Packed with Nutrients Your Skin Actually Needs

Facial oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, E), and essential fatty acids. These nutrients support collagen production, brighten the skin, and reduce signs of ageing — naturally.

Ideal for:

Dull or tired-looking skin.
Uneven skin tone or texture.
Women over 50 wanting to glow again.

Our Relax Facial Oil includes Roman Chamomile and Avocado oil— for skin that feels and looks luminous.

4. Perfect for the Irish Climate

Let’s face it — Irish weather can be harsh on skin. Between cold winds, damp days, and central heating, our skin needs a barrier. Facial oils offer natural protection without feeling heavy.

5. They’re a Skincare Investment (That Actually Lasts)

A little goes a long way. Just 2–3 drops per use means a 30ml bottle can last months — giving you incredible value, especially if it replaces both serum and moisturiser in your routine.

How to Use Facial Oils Effectively

Apply to damp skin after cleansing.
Use 2–3 drops, pressing gently into the face and neck.
Use morning or night (or both) depending on your skin’s needs.
Mix a drop into moisturiser for a lighter application.

Choosing the Right Oil for You

Everyone’s skin is different — and changes with age, hormones, and the seasons. That’s why I hand-blend a small range of facial oils for different needs, using only high-quality, plant-based ingredients.

They’re made right here in Ireland — no parabens, synthetic fragrances, or filler oils. Just honest skincare to support real women at every age.
