Our skin is out biggest organ and I am always on the search for more natural products that deliver results. Being completely honest, this is not always an easy quest. Normally, going natural can mean compromising on results but not with Korres.
Korres started in Athens in Greece in 1996 and it combines science and nature and what I love about the brand is that you they deliver natural products that give great results. The brand’s simple philosophy is rooted in the use of natural and / or certified organic ingredients of the highest quality; skin- and environmentally- friendly products with clinically tested efficacy; products that are affordable for everyday use, a pleasure to use and give proven clinical results.
Having suffered (acne and inflammation) with my skin for many years, I understand the benefits of using rose essential oil and even through my skin is now balanced and healthy, it still forms the basis of my skincare routine. Rose oil is anti-inflammatory, it is a skin regenerator, it is a natural astringent (closes the pores), it reduces redness and calms the skin.
Out of approximately 670 products and 60 countries around the world, the Korres Wild Rose Advanced Brightening & Nourishing Face Oil is their Global Best Seller and being a lover of all things consisting Rose essential oil, it was the obvious place to try the range.
This face oil suits every skin type, works for all age groups and can fit into any skincare routine. For me, this face oil is a burst of radiance and brings clarity and brightness to the skin. It is perfect for this time of year and the January blues.
This product is 94.5% natural.
Korres use the wild rose (sometimes referred to as the ugly rose) grown in Greece. They farm and pick their roses by hand; one rose head contains the same amount of vitamin C as 9 oranges. They then cold press it to preserve the integrity of the oil and they even put a few petals back into the bottle.
How does it brighten & nourish like the name suggests?
This face oil is ultra concentrated with vitamin C, omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and vitamin A. These ingredients working together give a substantial antioxidant effect on the skin, helps repair and fill fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin tone and texture and gives a healthy glow to the skin.
Why is vitamin C so important for the skin?
Not only does this face oil contain natural vitamin C from the wild rose, it is also boosted with an oil soluble vitamin C complex called Super C; this increases the skin’s absorption of vitamin C by 1000%.
Vitamin C promotes the creation of collagen in the skin, skin brightening, skin tone repair, antioxidant protection against free radicals and UV damage.
How to use this product?
Warm up 3 drops in the palm of your hands and massage cleansed and toned face and neck. This can be used alone or follow on with your favourite moisturiser once or twice a day.
On the days that your skin is particularly dry, you can use another few drops after your moisturiser to seal in the hydration.
For an intense evening treatment, use 6 to 8 drops and really massage into the skin either using your hands or facial cupping.
For a brightening boost, use 2 to 3 drops under your favourite brightening or hydrating face mask.
For flawless makeup, add 1 to 2 drops to your foundation.
This oil can also be used on any dryness on the body and can be used on the cuticles and on the ends of our hair. It comes as standard as a 30ml size which is very generous amount and at an affordable price.
In Cyprus, you will find Korres in Debenhams stores and its dedicated store in Nicosia; Archbishop Makariou C’ Avenue 21C.
