lola's secret beauty blog: Annmarie Skin Care Anti-Aging Facial Oil Review

Press Sample (Affiliated Links)

Annmarie Skin Care Anti-Aging Facial Oil is a seriously gorgeous luxury face oil. While this glorious face oil is formulated for dry and mature skin, it is one of the finest and most effective oils to have graced my normal to combination skin. This ultra-luxe antioxidant-rich facial oil, which is velvety-to-the-touch, is infused with herbs and a symphony of more than 13 nourishing oils. Ingredients such as chia, goji berry, and broccoli firm and tighten the skin, and therefore soften the appearance of fine lines. Deeply moisturizing, this beautiful oil is lightweight and it effortlessly melts into the skin. It is neither greasy, nor does it leave behind any residue. I prefer to apply it to moist and warm freshly washed skin, and it immediately leaves my skin soft, smooth, supple and luminous. It is quite concentrated, and therefore I find the a single pump offers plenty of oil to cover my face, neck and décolleté, but your use may vary. It has the most hypnotic herbal aroma, but is not long-lasting or overpowering.

According to Annmarie Skin Care,

The Anti-Aging Facial Oil is a tonic with a wealth of benefits, as you’ll come to find. It saturates your skin with botanical antioxidants that cultivate resilience and radiance in the face of free radicals. It locks in 24/7 moisture, unlike the overnight recovery oil that found a home in your trash.

More than that? It’s an exercise in pure joy… and an extended lesson in clean beauty. You might start by using this sweet nectar casually, like most other products. But over time, you’ll discover that the Anti-Aging Facial Oil is so glee-and-glow-inducing that you’ll want to get the most out of it. After repeated applications, you’ll learn how to do just that.

So while you might begin with a pump and a pat, you’ll learn to pause when its rose-tinged, serenely resinous scent hits your palm. Instead of merely slathering it on, you’ll learn to glide from the center of your face outwards (meditating along the way), and then from the bridge of your nose upwards towards your third eye (your pineal gland). And, instead of dabbing it according to your mood, you’ll learn to dab it according to your look. Want to pair it with your sunscreen and foundation for a flawless finish? Use less. Want to wear it to bed? Use more.

There are more advanced techniques to savor, too. Try a pearl-sized amount on your neck and press your fingertips to your clavicle. Take a deep breath and sweep towards your halo, setting an intention with each feather-soft stroke. Now that’s how skin care becomes self-care. And it's how joy becomes a rite, day after day.

Directions: Use AM/PM or as needed. Apply to clean skin or over serum. Pump 1 to 2 full pumps into palm of hand. Dab on nose, chin, cheeks and forehead. Blend with gentle strokes.

Wildcrafted: A selection of the herbs used in our line are hand picked in the mountains where they grow wild—this is the definition of wildcrafted. When we use wildcrafted herbs, we know that no commercial farming methods have been used, and that the plants are hearty, vibrant and full of skin-nourishing nutrients.
