While I love the natural colour and feel of my skin, I hate how dry my skin can get sometimes. I have been a huge fan of coconut oil for the last few years, but I usually have to mix it with regular cream because it can get a little too oily, however I never questioned anything else… until now.

I was lucky enough to be sent the Vichy NutriExtra Extraordinary Oil and after having it sit on my shelf I decided to give it a shot.

 Beyond it’s wonderful texture and delightful scent, it’s the first dry oil formulated specifically to deeply nourish the skin. Enriched with 9 precious plant oils, each with specific properties that are beneficial in treating both dry and sensitive skin, NutriExtra Extraordinary Oil deeply moisturises yet imparts that satiny, non-oily feel we love about dry oils.  It’s been formulated for use on the face, body or hair; the skin will immediately feel more supple and soft, and hair is much shinier, silkier and fully nourished.

Tips on how to use dry oil:

Face
Spray a small amount into the palm of your hand and apply delicately to the face, avoiding the eye contour area.

Body
Spray directly on the body or in the palm of your hands before spreading over the body. Apply to warm, still somewhat damp skin straight after a shower (absorption will be improved). Don’t forget to massage those hands and cuticles too!

Hair
The product may be used on damp or dry hair and applied either along the entire hair length or only to the hair ends. I personally like using it on the ends since I find that is where I am driest and I hate oily roots.
In order to distribute oil evenly, spray product first over the hand, rub your hands together and then comb through hair with fingertips along the entire hair length, paying particular attention to damaged ends.

On a quiet evening, I like to use the Vichy dry oil as a mask. All you have to do is apply to hair, leave it on to take effect for 10 to 15 minutes and then wash that hair.
