Orchard View Naturals Capsule Collection; review + photos.

Orchard View Naturals is a small independent business based in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, and ran by Lucy Stevens MFHT (Member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists).

Today I'd like to share my thought on their Capsule Collection, a bundle of five facial oils to help improve an array of skin types and problems. Maybe people have given fabulous feedback and excellent reviews, and I am no exception!! Of course, each of them smell simply divine and leave the skin feeling supple and soft-as-a-feather. A little of these potent oils will go a long way, so you can be sure that this collection will last you a good while.

Please note that a Patch Test is suggested 24 hours before use (just as you'd test a hair colourant), especially if you have sensitive skin.

My delivery arrived safely packaged and beautifully wrapped (it was so pretty that I photographed it after every stage of unwrapping!!). In the pack are five vials of essential facial oils; Rose Geranium, Orange Blossom, Triple Rose, Tea Tree, and Infused Marigold. Also included are various leaflets and information containing everything that one could possibly need to know about the oils, the business, and directions for use.

Sixteen skin types are listed in a helpful guidance leaflet, all of which can be helped by one or more of these five essential oils. Well-known skin types such as dry, sensitive, combination, and normal skin can all benefit from them, but they can also improve problems such as dullness, acne, large pores, and sun damage. "Listen to your skin" and use the simple guide to help use the correct oils when required.

My first choice was the Rose Geranium Facial Oil, as it's recommended for use on combination skin, like mine. I instantly fell in love with the pungent exotic aroma, it's so refreshing and uplifting. After use, my skin felt softer and smoother. Shine was instantly banished and replaced with a healthy luminous glow.

Another personal favorite is the zingy, invigorating scent of the Orange Blossom Facial Oil. It helps to boost the skin's moisture levels, as well as having the ability to improve the condition of aging skin, large pores, and sun damage, and it's fragrance is bound to lighten your mood on even the dullest of days.
The freshly-fragranced Triple Rose Facial Oil is recommended for use on dry, dehydrated, and dull skin to provide intense hydration. It leaves the skin feeling deeply nourished and looking healthier.
Tea Tree oil is renowned for it's impressive array of benefits to the skin, and OV Naturals suggest it for use on ten of the sixteen listed skin types. It seems to be something of a miracle-product.
The Infused Marigold Oil can also be used to treat a range of dilemmas. It too is recommended for use on ten of the sixteen listed skin types, including sensitive skin, which can be hard to treat correctly.
Please remember that a Patch Test is recommended 24 hours before use when using products on sensitive skin.

Not only do OV Naturals care for the body and soul, but they are also passionate about protecting our planet. All of the products are 100% natural and 99.5% organic, and everything is cruelty-free. Caring for the environment is important to OV Naturals, so all packaging and paper is recycled and locally sourced where possible, and glass bottles used are recyclable, which is bound to help put your mind at ease.

Needless to say, I've thoroughly enjoyed using my Orchard View Naturals Capsule Collection. To get yours and for information on more products and services from OV Naturals, including massages and gift vouchers, visit www.OVnaturals.co.uk or call 01460 240234.
