Oily skin needs careful treatment. Nothing to skin-stripping (which just excites already over-productive sebaceous glands), but nothing too clogging either. And of course it needs proper nourishment. Great Elm Physick have developed this treatment to ensure that oily skin is given a fair deal - and more! Herbalists swear by the healing power of calendula - or marigold - which has been infused in light sunflower oil. Added are camellia, blackcurrant seed and thistle oils all of which are dry and thin oils, excellent sources of Essential Fatty Acids (Vitamin F & Omega 3 and 6). Lavender and myrtle are anti-bacterials and should help with oiliness and large pores.

SUITS: Oily skin

METHOD:

After thorough cleansing (with Juniper and Soapwort Gentle Cleanser) and toning (Juniper and Lemon Balm Gentle Toner) roll Camellia and Myrtle face care lightly over the face and neck, massaging in gently with your fingertips. If you feel your skin needs a little more moisture, try applying a little Paeony and Honey moisturising cream.
