   MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS OIL

  I have combination skin type and was suffering from dry skin throughout winter and. I was using a lot of creams but nothing worked for my skin. Every cream gave me instant moisture but after 2 to 3 hours I had to reapply the cream which was irritating for me. While scrolling through Nykaa, I found this product with amazing reviews, so I thought of giving it a chance. 

After using this oil for 2-3 days, I did not notice any result. But after a week of using it, I started noticing great changes in my face. My skin not only regains the lost moisture but also looked brighter and glowy. It helped me apply makeup easily. My face looked so much glowy without a highlighter on. I have been using this oil regularly just after a shower, before applying makeup and also before going to bed. The oil is so lightweight and easy to apply that it almost feels like nothing is on the face but still gives the radiant glow. It has even reduced my acne scars to some extent. This oil is the perfect oil to give that younger looking skin. Even my dermatologist complemented me for my skin.

After using it for one month, I told my mother to use it. She has oily skin. But surprisingly, the oil did not make her face more oily. Her face looked healthy and soft. It helped my mother with dark circles too.

My skin after using this oil

 

 I highly recommend this product. If you are in a hunt for good and affordable face oil, then you must try this oil. You don't need to use different oils for different purposes but one oil does the job perfectly.
