Dr. Hauschka Normalizing Day Oil

Now, for my very first review I though it would be appropriate to write about one of my HG products. For those of you who don't know what a HG is, it's short for Holy Grail - meaning that this product is an absolute must-have for me. I'm thinking to make this into a series of reviews about my very own HG products, what do you think?

Anyway, on to the product.

Dr. Hauschka Normalizing Day Oil

It comes in a medium-sized glass container with a pump, which makes it easy to control the amount of oil you want to use. The glass is transparent, but the pump is golden - nothing over the top, very nice. While aesthetically pleasing, I do have a couple of complaints. Namely, I cannot close it, meaning I can't, for example, turn it so it closes and no oil accidentally comes out, which could be very useful for traveling. Also, the glass case is sturdy, but quite heavy and I'm a bit afraid to travel with it. I'm sure it wouldn't break, but I'd take extra notice to make sure it doesn't.

The product itself is orangey and has a quite heavy consistency. It spreads well on skin, soaking in right away and if you use the right amount, not even leaving your skin oily or shiny in any way.

I have a combination/oily skin and it hasn't caused any problems - I use less in the mornings, let it soak in and apply my primer, and my skin stays pleasantly glowy the entire day. I don't have a very sensitive skin, so it hasn't irritated it at all, quite the opposite - it has made my skin tone more even and calmed it down, it seems. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to check the ingredients list (though you should be doing it anyway!), but I can't imagine it causing any irritations, it just seems very gentle to me. It should work well on people with dry skin as well because it is an oil, and seems rich enough.

The smell is just fine as well, slightly herbal - but what do you expect from a herbal skincare line? I find it not irritating at all, and actually quite pleasing. It feels like you truly are using something natural on your skin.

It is priced quite reasonably, in Estonia anyway - it costs less than high end skincare and works very well, which is great for me.

All in all, I've had great results with this and I'd definitely recommend it.

  Mu esimeseks arvustuseks mõtlesin, et oleks sobilik valida üks mu vaieldamatutest HG toodetest. Kes ei tea, mis HG tähendab - lubage, ma valgustan. HG on lühend Holy Grail'ist, mis tähendab, et see toode on minu jaoks täielik must-have. Ma mõtlesin, et sellistest toodetest võiks blogipostituste seeria teha, et ma kirjutakse aeg-ajalt oma HG toodetest, mis te arvate?

Aga läheme toote juurde.

Toode on pakendatud klaasist pumbaga pudelisse, mis teeb lihtsaks kontrollimise, palju toodet sa hetkel kasutada tahad.Klaas on läbipaistev, kuid pump ise on kuldset tooni - mitte midagi ülikaunistatud, kena.

Kuigi toode on silmale kena, on mul paar kaebust.Näiteks ei saa pumpa mitte mingil moel kinni panna, seega on oht, et õli võib vabalt hakata mingil hetkel välja voolama, näiteks reisil olles. Lisaks, kuigi see klaaspudel tundub olevat piisavalt vastupidav, olen ma ikkagi mures, kas ta mingil hetkel, näiteks maha kukkudes või reisides kohvris olles katki ei lähe. Ma olen kindel, et see on piisavalt tugev, kuid ma oleksin ekstra ettevaatlik, et seda ei juhtuks.

Õli iseenesest on oranžikat värvi. Seda on hea nahale määrida imbub nahka üsna kiiresti ning kui ära tabada õige kogus, siis ei jäta ta ka nahale mitte mingit ebameeldivat õlist kihti. Mul on üsna rasune nahk ning mul pole see toode mitte kunagi mingeid probleeme tekitanud - ma kasutan hommikuti vähem, lasen sellel nahka täielikult imenduda ning kannan peale oma meigialuskreemi (primeri) ja tulemusena püsib mu nahk enam-vähem terve päeva kumavana.

Mul pole väga tundlik nahk, seega pole õli ka seda kuidagi ärritanud - tundub hoopiski, et see on hoopis vastupidiselt mõjunud. Mu näonahk on ühtlasem ning näib rahunenum. Kui sul on tundlik nahk, peaksid ilmselt toimeainete nimekirja vaatama (kuigi tegelikult peaksid seda kõik pidevalt tegema!), aga ma ei kujuta ette, et see võiks kuidagimoodi ärritada,

Normalizing Day Oil peaks töötama hästi ka kuiva nahaga inimestel, kuna see on ikkagi õli ning piisavalt toitev, küsimus võib olla vaid kogustes.

Lõhn on minu arvates ka üsna meeldiv, kergelt taimne, rohuline - kuid mida oodata looduslikult kosmeetikasarjalt? Minu jaoks on see mitteärritav ning isegu üsna meeldib. On lausa tunda, et sa kannad nahale midagi naturaalset.

Siin Eestis on ta üsna mõistliku hinnaga. Ta maksab vähem kui kallimad brändid ning saadab korda paljutki head.

Kokkuvõtteks, mul on selle kasutamisest väga head tulemused ning ma soovitan seda kindlasti!
