Description
We love to indulge in our guilty pleasures every so often (wine and chocolate anyone?), and it’s time we extend this courtesy to our largest organ – our skin! As its name suggests, this formula is literally a feast for your skin. Let your skin soak up all the vitamins, antioxidants and free-radical scavengers this magical concoction offers. Our star ingredient prickly pear seed oil lives up to its reputation as the ultimate hydrator. Containing one of the highest levels of vitamin E found in any oil, it locks in hydration and quenches your skin’s thirst. Goji berry and acai berry seed oils are guaranteed to offer a plethora of anti-ageing benefits due to their high antioxidant levels while the high levels of vitamin A in cacay oil help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

FAQs
I have oily skin, and I get nervous using an oil
Completely understandable. Many people with acne-prone/oily skin feel uneasy using oils. But do not fear, Saoirse Skincare is here! As strange as it sounds, putting oils on oily skin is absolutely fine. This is because adding oil can in fact help regulate the oil sebum produced by your own skin. The key is choosing a facial oil that will not clog your pores. Our Cocktail Feast contains many non-comedogenic oils (i.e., oils that will not clog pores) such as the brilliant prickly pear seed oil, cacay oil and tsubaki oil. Oils are an important integral of your skincare routine even if you have oily skin as they deeply nourish and hydrate the skin. Regardless of skin type, all skin needs to be fed vitamins, antioxidants and anti-ageing ingredients that oils offer. So don’t be afraid of oils if you have oily skin. But make sure you are using the right oils.
How many drops should I use?
This can depend on your skin type. For normal, combination and oily-skin we recommend no more than two drops. Make sure that your skin is very damp as this not only helps the skin absorb the oil much better, it’s very helpful for spreading the oil. Many people make the mistake of adding more drops if they cannot thoroughly spread an oil. Our oils are 100% pure and undiluted, so a few drops go a long way. The high potency of this oil also means it will last you a good while!
If you have dry skin and feel you may need a bit more hydration, then add another drop. It is important that you listen to your skin. In the winter, our skin is dryer so you can also add a drop in the day time to your daily moisturiser. In the summer, we need less as our skin sweats more. So I always say let your skin guide you and you will learn to listen to you 🙂
How often should I use a facial oil?
Again, this depends on the needs of your skin. For normal, combination and oily skin, start by using the oil twice a week. For normal/combination skin, if you feel your skin can handle thrice a week, by all means try using it every other night. For dry skin, we recommend 3-4 times a week. If you have very dry or mature skin, you can even use it on a daily basis.
Many of our customers see results very quickly after using our facial oil. The excitement may sometimes lead to them increasing the number of days per week they use the facial oil and as a result, may develop some pimples. So regardless of skin type, if you find this happening to you, try using the facial oil fewer times a week.
Is this facial oil vegan?
Yes, all Saoirse Skincare products are vegan and cruelty-free!
