Where I got it: A while ago my girlfriend won an Instagram giveaway for a double pass to a Linden Leaves event where we make our own Aromatherapy Body Oil. This limited edition Body oil is available in selected pharmacies and Farmers for $49.99.
What I got: This is the Linden Leaves Special Edition Aromatherapy Synergy Body Oil. Organic rosehip and avocado oils blended with pure sweet almond and apricot kernel oils, enriched with vitamin E and infused with a luxurious blend of rose, geranium and ylang ylang, to keep skin soft and nourished. This beautiful natural oil contains real roses.
How I find it: I love body oils, especially in winter. This is the first time I used a Linden Leaves body oil. Even though I have tried some of their skincare products and hand creams, I have not tried their body oils before. You can easily find these from pharmacies with their signature clear bottle with dried flowers in it. This bottle here as I have created myself, there are 2 dried roses, a wedge of dried lemon at the bottom and 2 sprigs of dried lavender. They are purely for decorative only so they don’t provide any additional properties. We were suggested to use this after the shower while the skin is still damp but I hate the feeling of dripping wet skin on my bathroom floor so I like to towel dry myself first then apply the body oil. I use a generous amount because I like to do a bit of massaging as well. Around my thighs, buttocks and chest area to stimulate blood circulation. I put this on everywhere on my body except for my back because my back is prone to breakouts and I often don’t find my back feeling dry.
Overall: Love this rose scented body oil. It makes my skin nice and moisturised and soft to the touch. The bottle is easy to pour without accidental over-pour. The consistency of the oil is on the thick side, but it’s easy to spread on the skin. The scent lingers on for a significant amount of time so if you are not into the rose scent or a soft fragrance around your body, you might need to stay away. I personally love this and how moisturising it is on my skin. The bottle itself is beautiful on my counter as well! I wonder if I can create my own oil mixture after I have used this up?
