Face oils are either your thing, and you swear by them, or you avoid them at all cost. However, despite whether you love or loathe them, they do have some brilliant benefits if you have the right type of skin.
Coconut oil, argan oil and rosehip oil have all had their fair share of attention lately, but there is a new excellent ingredient which could be what you have been searching for to look after dry or ageing skin called prickly pear.
The oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the prickly pear fruit, which are native to desert regions of America and Mexico. It is apparently as good for your skin as it is to digest! If you were to eat the fruit, they're sweet, with a hint of watermelon. They can grow up to 5 metres in height and have sharp spines and beautifully bright fruit.
The reason it has become the must-have beauty oil is due to its anti-inflammatory and antiageing properties. It is the ideal skin care product for dry and mature skin as it is highly moisturising and has the abilities to leave your skin super smooth and glowing after use.
