| 2020 | 07 | 29 | Review - Tisserand Sweet Almond Oil |

the what::

let me tell you about the oil i've been using for over ten years - Sweet Almond Oil. 

| Tisserand | Sweet almond | 100ml | £5 | Amazon |*

the sales pitch:

highly moisturising and nourishing this oil is packed full of oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid), linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and vitamin e.

These combined are able to tackle inflammation, reduce breakouts, act as an anti-oxidant and provide moisturising effects.

it is used regularly as a carrier oil due to being able to 'play well' with other products. 

the why::

oils on the skin are one of my favourite delivery methods. 

I like sweet almond oil for its ability to help my skin retain moisture and deal with any irritation in a gentle way.

the how::

there are so many methods of application for this oil.

I use it for a couple but a quick google informed me I'm not really scratching the surface:

- oil cleansing method
- facial moisturiser
- body moistiser
- shaving oil
- nail and cuticle oil
- hair oil
- perfume essential oil

my thoughts::
i always have a bottle of this on hand. it's easy to use and isn't sun sensitive - something i get through a lot of on holiday!

as predicted the lipstick i was fawning over for the sum total of five hours has now slipped my memory. 

we've done a lot of walking this week. catching flies, fighting bears. you know. the usual. 

i showed this picture to my hairdresser and she more or less cried.

I refuse to hate pan

If i don't like a product i'm getting rid. 

the salt spray was a bit meh. 

the eyeshadows were so overhyped it hurts my soul how much i bought into them.
