Rave Review: Pretty Skin Savior Herbal Wellness Oil

Pretty is one of my all time favourite Canadian brands. I have loved almost every product that I have tried and their ingredients are exceptional. It was started by two sisters, one a Registered Dietitian and the other a Makeup Artist and Aesthetician, who wanted a line free of all nasties and suitable for the most sensitive of skins. Their products are free of synthetic fragrances and colours, sulphates, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, harsh preservatives, and pretty much anything else that you can't pronounce. You can read more about them here. For the record, they are not paying me to say anything nice about them and have never sent me free product. My love and passion for this line goes back to the beginning of my journey into natural products as it was one of the first brands I ever tried.

With that out of the way, let's talk body oil! Body oils are all the rage now and that's because they supply the skin with superb nourishment and benefits while still allowing it to breathe.

Description: Relieve dry, itchy skin without the use of cortisone or harsh ingredients. Calming oatmeal and soothing calendula are infused into a base of sweet almond and white tea oil. Lavender and juniper berry replenish moisture, relieve irritation and protect skin.

Guess what? I love this! Betcha didn't see that coming ;). The packaging is beautiful and very eco friendly, as it is with all of their products. The tinted glass bottle is light and comes with an upside down dropper that you can swap out for a pump. Don't you just love options? I personally prefer the pump because it's more convenient. The oil smells like the beauty section at a health food store, which is just lovely. It's not too overpowering and dissipates throughout the day. The oil absorbs into the skin really well, softening and moisturizing it while leaving a beautiful sheen. It hasn't stained any of my clothes or sheets, that I've noticed. I tend to get red patches on the back of my arms. There's no bumps or anything, it just looks irritated. This oil has helped reduce that redness upon application with it's soothing oatmeal and calendula infused almond oil and essential oil blend. Does it get any damn better?! I solely use this on my arms and any other irritated areas, like my hands. While it's targeted towards a specific skin type/condition, I think this would be a great all over body oil for anyone (unless you have sensitives to any of the ingredients of course). They have several other oils to choose from, if this one doesn't appeal to you. This oil is a beautiful indulgent treat for your skin that I think is well worth the price, especially considering the simplicity of the ingredients. I highly, highly recommend and would definitely repurchase!

Retails for approx. $24 CAN for 90ml. You can purchase it through Pretty. You can connect with them on Twitter, Facebook or send them an email to find a retailer closest to you.
