In addition to adding moisture to the skin, blackcurrant oil is known to be effective in treating eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions.

I love the idea of the holistic skincare line. After using this serum on my face for several days, I definitely noticed a brighter appearance. The Black Currant Serum can be purchased at the Cecilia Wong Skincare salon or at ceciliawongskincare.com.

ReplyDeleteYes, I have been doing some research on blackcurrant, and the benefits, although not certain, sound really appealing.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it really sounds amazing! :0 I'll try to find a cheaper alternative though! Heheh.
ReplyDeleteYep :) Good luck, Amy!
ReplyDeletei'm very very interested in holistic/organic/natural skincare.. they seem to do amazing jobs but you're right,, ridiculously OVERpriced!
ReplyDeleteLily,
ReplyDeleteI have been looking into holistic and natural care too. I feel like in this day and age, everything I use has way too many synthetic, unnatural chemicals. And we really haven't studied any of them long enough to know the long term effects.
Would definately try it but in probably 15 years to come when the lines start coming haha...organic skin care products are the best!
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting product. How do you usually use it? Just rub it in the body like a lotion? :)
ReplyDeleteSab,
ReplyDeleteI use the dropper to drop a few drops on my face and then use my fingers to spread it out evenly. Hope this helps!
