Viridian: Ultimate Beauty Organic Rose Oil & Essential Female Multi

A few weeks ago I was sent a selection of products* from Viridian to try. I've previously reviewed their Ultimate Beauty Skin Repair Topical Oil* and SPF Skin Pro-Factors* and you can see my review HERE. I've also reviewed their Ultimate Beauty Oil* and Beauty Complex* (REVIEW).

My skin has been loving Viridian's Ultimate Beauty Organic Rose Oil (15ml - £32)* which deeply nourishes, regenerates and protects the skin. It absorbs instantly leaving the skin scented of roses, radiant and hydrated. 

It's a blend of skin loving oils - Evening Primrose, Rosehip, Almond, Elderberry, Sesame, Hazel and Pomegranate oils along with Sea Buckthorn and Vitamin E and is scented with Rose and Neroli.

Ultimately blended for dry and dehydrated skin types my skin's been loving it during the winter months and I can quite honestly say it's one of the nicest face oils I've ever used.

I've also been taking Viridian's Essential Female Multi* which are a unique blend of nutrients and botanical extracts which help support optimal health and vitality. The jar contains 60 capsules (£28.45)* which help with tiredness and fatigue, support normal cognitive function, the formation of red blood cells and the immune system. B6 contributes the the regulation of hormone activity. I've found I have more energy and feel less tired and anxious. You can see the full list of ingredients here.

I've also been sampling again a Viridian bestseller their Ultimate Beauty Oil*(500ml - £20.40) which is stuffed full of good things for the skin, hair and nails. It's a balanced source of 3:6:9 fatty acids including GLA and it also contains potent antioxidants and carotenoids. I've been adding it to smoothies and salad dressings. See my earlier review HERE.

Viridian Ultimate Beauty Skin Repair Topical Oil & SPF Skin Pro-Factors

I was recently sent Viridian Ultimate Beauty Skin Repair Topical Oil* (100ml - £15.16) and S.P.F. Pro-Factors* (30 caps - £15.65) to review.  I'm a huge lover of the Viridan brand and you can see my reviews of the Viridian Beauty Oil & Beauty Complex here.

The Skin Repair Oil is packed full of Organic Oils (Sunflower Seed, Rosehip Fruit, Jojoba Seed, Borage Seed, Wheatgerm, Calendula Flower and Vitamin E) which nourish the skin and it helps with scarring, uneven skin tone, stretch marks and dry skin.  Delicately scented with Lavender it is an easily absorbed light oil which leaves the skin feeling soft and moisturised.  I'm a huge fan of body oils and like to use this just before bed.

S.P.F. Skin Pro-Factors capsules should be taken from April until the end of summer.  These help protect the skin from sun damage (make sure to still use your sunscreen). Take 1-2 tablets daily. It is recommended to begin taking the tablets at least 14 days prior to sun exposure and to maintain throughout.

The tablets contain - Astaxanthin which is derived from plant algae which is an excellent skin protector against harmful UV and UVB rays, GliSODin which is good for protecting fair skin from any sun damage, Grapeseed Extract which helps to keep wrinkles and premature ageing at bay and Beta Carotene which converts in the body to Vitamin A which is the skin vitamin which gives protection against sunburn.  I'll definitely try these capsules again before going on a holiday abroad.

Have you used any of these products before?
