Remember when I was raving crazily about the Jason Vitamin E Oil (here) and I sworn by the healing properties of it? Not many days ago, I was telling you guys how convinced I am by it and how the oil is going to be part of permanent skincare routine... yada yada. I still believe it's an amazing product. I had some readers that emailed me and asked if the oil is greasy and if it absorbs well. I don't think I mentioned anything about that in the post, sorry for that. Yes, it is kind of greasy and I do recommend to use it 5 mins before you lay in bed to avoid getting it all over your pillow covers. Absorption is slow because it is a very concentrated oil, well, it's pure oil - do expect that it will take longer than a moisturizer. I've had no issues with my skin breaking out from it, and I've used it for 2 whole months.
Here's a no foundation, no concealer look I took a few days ago.
I am just wearing a bit of eyeshadow, Maybelline Falsies mascara, and the Rosebud lip balm. I should've used some concealer for under my eyes, but having no foundation on really legitimized the use of topically using the oil. I'm sorry I don't have "before" pictures because i just wouldn't get near a camera. My face was pretty much red and scaly and pimply all over and itchy. There were pimples growing underneath the skin...those were extremely painful. I also had scarring from it, being exposed in the sun during the summer.
I really owe it all to this oil, my skin has been the best it's ever been this year. It's more supple and brighter now than ever. I was strolling around Whole Foods yesterday to get some dessert and I noticed the oil was on sale for $5.99 (same bottle I have) and I saw many other brands in sophisticated glass bottles that I may try someday when I finish the one I have now.
In short, Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that penetrates the many layers of the skin. It is said to have many healing properties, some of them being scaring and redness. I haven't read anything from people who have very oily skin yet. One of the Whole Foods people told me that it is great for people with extremely oily skin because an antioxidant-rich oil helps to balance out the imbalance of excess oil on the skin. Not sure the truth in it, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Link me to your blog, share your experience... let me know! :)
Wow, this has become so lengthy! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Oh, and this was the dessert that I ended up getting at Whole Foods yesterday! It is a petite Tiramisu mousse in a dark chocolate cup!
