HOW HOLISTIC OILS REJUVENATED MY SKIN
AT 48
After years of testing skincare products, spa services and “medical grade skincare”, I finally saw the biggest improvements in fine lines, wrinkles and overall skin-tightening when I started using a more holistic skincare routine. Here are the core oils and products that I’ve seen the biggest results from!
My skin after 1 yr of using castor oil regularly
(at age 47)
#1 CASTOR OIL
FOR OVERNIGHT MOISTURE
Castor Oil is loaded with antioxidants and fatty acids that have strong anti-aging benefits. I want to use it undiluted, at full strength.
But, castor oil is thick and sticky. It's not really practical to use a lot on your face during the day.
That's why I use it overnight. My skin is glowing when I wake up in the morning after applying loads of castor oil on a clean face before bed.
Tallow is more lightweight, non-sticky and the hydration lasts all day. It's full of skin-loving vitamins too. It's more daytime friendly!
NOTE: not all castor oils are good for skin!
The one I use is:
hexane-free
organic
cold-pressed
These qualities are important for optimal skin health!
Benefits of Castor Oil:
Locks in moisture
Skin plumping
Softens lines, rejuvenates skin
More youthful skin when used regularly overnight
Natural (if it’s a good castor oil :)
Full of skin nutrients & antioxidants
Calming & soothing
I also LOVE this “Roll-On” Castor Oil stick!
It’s SO great for undereyes and touch-ups!
Using this under my eyes regularly really help tighten skin, undereye bags and dark circles - it’s good stuff!
#2 WHIPPED BEEF TALLOW
fOR DAYTIME MOISTURE
Tallow is:
- similar to skin’s natural sebum
- full of skin loving nutrients
- silky smooth
- a good moisture seal that lasts
This is why I use Tallow during the day.
I apply tallow over the top of any other serum(s) in the morning for a good moisture-lock throughout the day.
I have yet to find another moisturizer that works as well as tallow during the day.
Benefits of Tallow:
Ideal for use during the day
Moisture that lasts all day
Smooth texture (if it’s whipped)
Matches skin’s natural sebum
Not sticky or shiny
Full of skin nutrients
#3 bAKUCHIOL + ASTAXANTHIN
FOR FINE LINES, WRINKLES, DARK SPOTS & CELL RENEWAL
Bakuchiol is a natural retinol alternative that can be used more often than retinol.
Bakuchiol is:
- gentle
- stimulates cell turnover
- natural
I use my Bakuchiol serum every day!
See the Bakuchiol Serum I Use.
Bakuchiol oil works in a similar way to retinol, stimulating the skin to regenerate new skin cells, but it’s much more gentle!
The Bakuchiol Serum I use is 3% bakuchiol, which is a good strength for cell renewal!
#4 PHA
FOR EXFOLIATION
Exfolating is VITAL for anti-aging!
A peel gently pushes your skin to regenerate and renew.
I do a mild PHA peel 2-3 times per week.
PHA peels dissolve the dead skin on the surface of your face, stimulating your skin to renew itself!
To use this peel, I apply it, leave it for 15 minutes and then wash it off.
This exfoliation rejuvenates, stimulates new collagen and minimizes fine lines and wrinkles. I’ve seen smoother, glowier skin from doing this regularly!
FYI: This wrinkle bundle Has the Castor Oil, PHA Peel, Bakuchiol Serum and Tallow I use.

To Double Down on Dark Spots
For More Dark Spot Lightening?
If I’ve been out in the sun a lot and am seeing dark spots creep up, even while using the Wrinkle Bundle, I’ll add in one or both of these for extra antioxidant power.
Vitamin C used regularly over time is great for lightening dark spots and giving skin a glow.
I use this 15% Vitamin C Serum and alternate it with this Youth Elixir containing Rosehip, Pomegranate and Prickly Pear Oils - naturally high Vitamin C and great for lightening dark spots.
