In Praise Of …. Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Oil
Clogged pores, breakouts and skin so greasy you could fry an egg on. Back in the day , this is what I associated with face oils. Oils were terrifying. Oils were the enemy. Oils were a no no. Because when you have skin that can pump out enough oil to keep the oil industry afloat, what do you know, you don’t want anymore oil. But before you sideline oils, it's worth remembering not all oils are created equal and knowledge is power. As is Luna by Sunday Riley. This, to me, is one of the cleverest and most intriguing oil formulations because it’s nothing like its old school counterparts. To the naked eye, it looks and feels like an oil but on the skin, it behaves like a retinol. But this is a next level, next generation retinol - with skin plumping avocado seed and chia seed oils - that does a myriad of things. It eases the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, uneven texture, dryness , dullness...Oh and as the formula also includes blue tansy and green chamomile - hence the glorious shade of bluey green hue - it calms stressed out skin, is incredibly soothing and unlike your run of the mill retinol, it’s less likely to cause irritation. And no, it doesn’t clog your pores , it doesn’t give you breakouts, and it's minus 0 on the grease factor. Instead it leaves your skin hydrated and luminous - and it does it all while you sleep. So this my friends is an oil I can get with. In fact I think calling it an oil is doing it a disservice so you can just call it by its name. LUNA. Or you can just call it Genius. uk.sundayriley.com
