This Elemis antioxidant-rich facial oil is the early Prime Day deal I’m snagging for my ultra dry skin
I’m already eyeing this Elemis facial oil as my next skincare buy for my ultra dry skin.
The Elemis Superfood Facial Oil is on sale ahead of Prime Day, which is coming up on Oct. 6, and I’m tempted to grab it now. I’m always looking for skincare that gives my dry skin the extra moisture it needs, and this antioxidant-rich facial oil sounds like a great fit.
I’m obsessed with Elemis’ top-rated cleansing balm, so this feels like the dreamiest product to apply after cleansing. I love the idea of using the balm to wash away makeup and sunscreen, then following it with a few drops of this facial oil to leave my skin feeling soft and nourished.
Rest assured, this is one of the best early Prime Day beauty deals I found.
The Superfood Facial Oil is made with nine superfood oils, including squalane, flax seed oil, rosehip oil, sweet almond oil, macadamia oil and broccoli seed oil. The blend is designed to nourish the skin and help it look smoother and more radiant.
Since my skin gets extremely dry, I’m especially interested in the moisturizing ingredients. Squalane helps support the skin barrier and keep moisture in, while the plant oils add another layer of nourishment. Elemis notes the oil has a lightweight, non-greasy feel, which is important because I want my skin to feel hydrated without feeling coated in a heavy product.
The application also sounds simple. To use, dispense three to four drops on clean skin and gently press and massage the oil over the face, neck and chest. I can see myself doing this at night after cleansing, especially when my skin feels tight or extra dry.
It also has a fresh herbal and citrus scent from ingredients such as lemongrass, rosemary and orange peel. I love when skincare feels like a small treat at the end of my routine (who doesn’t?), and this sounds like it would make my nighttime routine feel a little more special.
Let’s recap: Prime Day is coming on Oct. 6, but this Elemis facial oil is already on sale, so I don’t see much reason to wait if I know I’m going to want it anyway.
With my love of the Elemis cleansing balm and my constant search for products that help my dry skin feel comfortable, this facial oil seems like the perfect next step. It’s definitely going in my cart.
