How to use Best Skin Ever

What it is

Best Skin Ever is one oil for cleansing and moisturizing, on the face and the body. Living Libations makes it in several versions, each built on jojoba or a blend of carrier oils with different essential oils. It comes in 100ml bottles and larger 240ml refills.

How to use it

• On the face: dampen a small part of a face cloth or a cotton round, add one or two squirts and massage over the face and neck. Rinsing is optional.
• For makeup: put a squirt on a damp cotton round first, then go over your face as above.
• On the body: smooth a few squirts over damp skin after a bath or shower.

Which one to choose

In the studio, Seabuckthorn and Sandalwood sell the most. The main difference between the versions is what they are built on and how they smell, so if you have a favourite scent, start there.

Seabuckthorn, 100ml

$80

Built on jojoba and seabuckthorn oils with virgin coconut and tamanu oils.

Sandalwood, 100ml

$123

Built on jojoba with sandalwood nut oil and sandalwood essential oil.

Neroli, 100ml

$123

Built on jojoba, seabuckthorn and virgin coconut oils with neroli and blood orange.

Jasmine Joy, 100ml

$135

Already using it? The 240ml refills come in Sandalwood, Seabuckthorn, Rose and Frankincense, for topping up your bottle. Store them away from light.

What can go on after it

Best Skin Ever moisturizes as well as cleanses, so you can stop there. If you like another step, here are two from the same line:

Rose Glow Serum, 100ml

$179

A lightweight face serum of jojoba and seabuckthorn with rose otto, geranium and neroli. Put a few drops in your palm and pat them around the eyes, face and neck, morning and night.

Rose Glow Crème, 100ml

$141

A face crème of aloe vera, rose hydrosol, jojoba and shea butter. After washing with Best Skin Ever, smooth it on as a day or night moisturizer. You can add a drop of Rose Glow Serum.

Going out in the sun? Use a product labelled with an SPF. Living Libations does not label its zinc lotion as a sunscreen, so it does not do that job.

Check first if any of these apply

• You are pregnant or have a medical condition: these contain essential oils, so check with your doctor first.
• You are buying for a home with children: keep the bottles out of their reach.
