Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil (Review)

When I was first offered the Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil multi-purpose skin perfecting dry oil for face & neck, my immediate thought was, “Oil for my face? Ummm no thanks, I don’t need it!”

Luckily I decided to google it before turning it down, and when I found a lot of rave reviews about it on Makeup Alley, I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did, because it’s really amazing!

The first thing you need to know is that even though it’s made of oil, it doesn’t make your skin oily. It is absorbed quickly, and gives you glowing – not oily – skin that is so soft and moisturized that it surprises me. I have this habit of cupping my face in my hands while I’m staring at my computer screen at work, and every time I do it now, I always get a pleasant surprise at how fluffy-soft my face feels and I can’t help but rub it. 

Another thing that I did not expect was that it would brighten my skin and make it look rosier. One time I was rushing to work because I was about to be late, so I just put a couple of drops of Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil and my usual sunscreen on my face then swiped on lipstick and did not have time to put any other makeup on.

Normally, on no make up days like this, I would chance upon my face in the mirror during a toilet break and cringe, but on this day, I saw my reflection and thought, wow, my skin looks younger and brighter!

Apparently I wasn’t imagining things because on one such makeup-free day, a colleague stared at me and said, for the first time since I’ve known her, “You’re so pretty!”
