Review: InstaNatural deep cleansing facial oil and rosehip seed oil


What is InstaNatural deep cleaning facial oil?


Don't shy away from this just because you may have acne prone or oily skin and this product says oil right on the label! This product works better as a makeup remover for me, but it is also a one step cleanser if you would like it to be (Keep reading for my opinion). This cleanser has some great active ingredients such as jojoba oil, olive oil, lavender essential oil, tamanu oil, hemp oil, sea buckthorn oil, and geranium essential oil.
This product can be used as a makeup remover, face cleanser, after shaving to prevent irritation, or as an aftercare for sunburn.

How do I use it?


This product is pretty simple to use. It's as simple as this!
1. Apply product to washcloth or cotton pad
2. Apply on face where desired
3. Rinse with warm water
I added the extra step of using a different face wash after because I did not like the feeling this product gave my face after using.

First Impression


I was very uneasy seeing the word oil in the product name when I first went to try this out. I give it a few tries by itself, but I wasn't impressed with how it made my skin feel after washing. It felt like it wouldn't come off and left my skin very oily, I even had a small breakout after using it, which I had not had a breakout in about 3 months. I added the extra step of using my everyday cleanser after using this to remove my makeup, it even removes mascara with ease, and this product finally got 2 thumbs up from me! I was very upset that I may have had to put this product in the dud pile, but it is honestly a great product for me. Even though I need the extra step in there because my skin is sensitive, I do not mind. :) 


What is InstaNatural Rosehip Seed Oil?


This is simply what it says right on the bottle, rosehip oil. There are no other fillers or any other ingredients in this bottle. This product is great for fine lines, scars and stretch marks, sun spots, age spots, and also great for your nails and hair! This seems like an all in 1 product! They flat out warned about a slight fishy smell when I was waiting to receive my product, but I personally thought it smelled more like fresh brewed tea(maybe i'm the odd one out. lol) After opening, this product is suggested to be stored in the fridge, so ensure the freshness lasts while you are using this product.

How do I use it?


Since this can be used in a few ways, I will post a few ways to apply this product.

Face and body:
1. Wash area before application
2. Apply 2 -5 drops(depending on how big the area is) of product to your fingers and rub onto desired area. Allow product to absorb before applying any other products to skin.

Nails:
1. Simply apply like a normal cuticle oil

Hair:
You can use this 2 different ways in your hair.
1. Add to a few drops to your shampoo
2. After washing and drying hair, apply to scalp

 First Impressions


I personally do not mind the smell as much, because it does go away after some time. I do occasionally get a hint of it here and there through the day, but it's really not that bad. I have not used it in my hair, but I have applied it to my face and nails. I have seen slight improvement with my post acne marks, but I honestly don't have any at the moment, so I feel like I couldn't be a strong tester for that. It did leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth after just 1 week of everyday use. I also am terrible at remembering cuticle oil, but maybe now that the weather is getting cooler I will remember more and I can post an honest review of what it does for my nails. 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
