I hope that all of you have been enjoying Summer as much as I have been :). Finally sunny weather arrived in WA, which is a great excuse to go and do some fun activities! Everything we do indeed comes with responsibility, so I have been religiously applying a sunscreen and also doing after-sun care. Some of you might think that you need a specific product labelled as after-sun care on the packaging, but the truth is that it doesn't always have to be. Quite often, those products can contain chemicals mostly for the more desirable texture and fragrance. And unsurprisingly, those with very sensitive skin can even get further irritations by choosing the wrong product.
I'm not saying that natural products are always gentle or kind to skin either as some companies manipulate the consumer's psychology. Nevertheless, I'm here today with my most used and loved natural face oils by Kahina Giving Beauty. Over the past few years, I've personally found that it can be a bit tricky to choose which product one should use due to the nature of the product type. You can tick through the table that I made to see which oil is right for your skin :). And please bear in mind that this is based on my own personal opinions and observations, not what the company officially advertises.
