I admit that there was one dark time in my life that I was into oil free this, oil free that and everything must be oil free to avoid the skin from getting oilier.
I am the glad that I started using facial oil because it seriously made a lot of different in my skin. My first love of facial oil venture was actually all-in-one oil for scar which I applied on my face and the next thing I know, it was love at first sight and I love facial oil. So, if you have oily skin, don't be afraid to look into facial oil that can help your skin.
If you are into organic brands, then do stay and have a read on my opinion on L’OCCITANE Shea Face Comforting Oil. Their Shea line is one of the favourite line among customer =) .
Here is some details about the origin of the shea butter.
Women’s gold… a symbol of life
The shea (karite) tree is essential to West Africa, and in the local language, the name means “lifegiving”.
The butter produced from the nuts is used by women for cooking and protecting skin. Shea Butter is also known as “women’s gold” because it ensures a precious source of revenue for the women involved in its production. In Burkina Faso, local women are the only ones who know the secret to how the butter is made. They use the income they earn from Shea Butter to pay for household needs and also for the education of their children.
A tale of sustainability
In 1980, L’OCCITANE founder Olivier Baussan discovered the magic of Shea Butter during a trip to
Burkina Faso. Processed by hand, it had surprising effects on the skin of the women who handled it:
instead of damaging, it softened! Intrigued, he decided to develop a range of products based on Shea
Butter. The very first product, Shea Butter Hand Cream, was launched in 1994. Immediately, women
around the world fell in love with it.
Scientists at L’OCCITANE have discovered that Shea Butter is exceptionally rich in Omega-6 and karitene (a powerful moisturiser). Together, these ingredients nourish and protect the skin every day.
