A nice face oil for an oldie.

[Ihopeyourcakeisshit]

Over 50, peri-meno, skin not too bad but could do with some tlc. Bought some Clarins face oil, blue something or other, cannot stand the smell.
Any good recommendations would be most welcome.

Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Oil is good but it is £41! Smells amazing though, lavender bit not the synthetic stuff.

I use Elemis Superfood.

Another vote for khiels midnight oil. Smells like a spa. Its pricey but lasts ages as you literally need to use 2 drops.

Came on to recommend the Clarins oil, I love the smell! One of my few repeat buys.

How about REN's rose oil? The scent is very strong though.

I don't mind spending a bit.
When you say the rose oil is strongly scented , do you mean like rosehip type of smell because I can't stand that either?

I use this I’ve tried a few over the years

I recommend Sanctuary Spa 10-in-1 Super Secret Facial Oil. It's worked wonders on my peri-m skin. It's available lots of places, I got mine from Sainsbury's, about £14, but has lasted ages so far, I'm estimating it'll be a year by the time I've used it up.

That sounds good. What does it smell like pls?

I have a neal's yard on which I really like.

Not an oil but it gives lovely glowy skin, I put it on before I clean my teeth and tissue it off afterwards

@IdblowJonSnow I don't think it smells of anything, just of the oil, but no particular floral or herb or anything, quite neutral.

I’m 53 I use The Ordinary Rosehip oil. It’s amazing!

Neals yard rose facial oil or rose balm

I know what you mean about the Blue Orchid. After everyone raving about it for years I bought a bottle, not expecting to be rocking the hairy biker patchouli oil thing!

For more mature skin how about Neal's Yard Frankincense? Or the rose one is nice too.

The Kiehl's Midnight Recovery is a little bit like Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate in that it's more of an oil serum than just an oil. The LE smells divine- (neroli and a hint of lavender iirc) I've repeat purchased that, I tried the Kiehl's but probably wouldn't repurchase.

Real "rose" oils don't smell like rosehip (which I agree has a minging smell) but of proper roses. Also better for mature skin contrary to rosehip which is for first signs of ageing.

I like
This one smells of neroli

Haha, yes @Geamhradh hairy biker's patchouli

Appreciate the recommendations, what does neroli smell like?
I'm quite smell driven as you can probably tell.

@goose1964 I've used that No 7 mask, quite like it, but I leave it on

This is brilliant - one of Nigella’s beauty secrets apparently. Not perfumed - but maybe you could add a drop of essential oil?

I like Aldi’s Rose Facial Oil, and Liz Earle’s Superskin Oil - smells lovely!

Hmm. Floral, citrus. It's from bitter orange flowers if that helps! I like nice scents (I hate jasmine though) and the decleor I bought from smell alone

This is lovely too. Verde products are excellent.

Ah, I am partial to a bit of citrus, that might be just the ticket.

Once a week I do a major exfoliating of my face then layer on organic coconut oil ( very slight hint of coconut smell). I leave it for day (Saturday!) and I’m a new woman - about €10 a jar which lasts ages. Also use it as a foot moisturiser- brill!

I love Elemis Superfood, but then i also love Blue Orchid!

Nuxe do a lovely scented one. It’s expensive but worth it I think.

The Emma Hardie one is amazing.
