HOW HOLISTIC OILS CHANGED 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
OVERNIGHT MOISTURE

My skin GLOWS when I “marinate” it overnight in castor oil.

Castor Oil is:

- loaded with antioxidants and fatty acids
- full of strong anti-aging benefits

I use castor oil 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 SLATHERING castor oil on a clean face before bed.

NOTE: not all castor oils are good for skin!

The castor oil I use is:

  • hexane-free

  • organic

  • cold-pressed

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

Try a Roll-on Castor Oil!

As a sidenote, I LOVE this “Roll-On” Castor Oil stick!
It’s SO great for undereyes and touch-ups during the day!

Using this under my eyes regularly really help tighten skin, undereye bags and dark circles - it’s good stuff!

#2 wHIPPED BEEF TALLOW
DAYTIME MOISTURE

Tallow is:

- similar to skin’s natural sebum
- full of skin loving nutrients
- silky smooth and non-greasy
- a good moisture seal that lasts all day!

I apply tallow over the top of any other serum(s) I use 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.

Skin Benefits of Tallow:

  • Ideal for use during the day

  • Moisture that lasts all day

  • Silky, smooth texture (whipped, that is)

  • Natural

  • Matches skin’s natural sebum

  • Not shiny or too greasy

  • 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.

I use my Bakuchiol serum every day!

Bakuchiol oil works in a similar way to retinol, stimulating the skin to regenerate new skin cells, but it’s much more gentle!

I use a 3% bakuchiol serum that is comparable to 1.5% retinol strength but with none of the irritation. (1.5% retinol is very strong!)

#4 PHA
FOR EXFOLIATION & CELL RENEWAL

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!
