Stock was limited, so I wasn’t able to test the routine in full. I went with one of the hero skincare products that appealed to me the most: the Golden Nectar. As someone with chronically dry skin (particularly in the colder months), I changed up my routine to include less water-based moisturisers and more face oils, and the sound of this “deeply regenerative” oil spoke my language. Ingredients include rosemary extract for its high levels of vitamin E, chia-seed extract, which is full of calcium to support a heathy skin barrier, calming CBD oil, and Mythical Tears of Chios (better known as Mastic resin), an aid in collagen production.
On day one, I began by applying a couple of drops to clean skin and massaging it in. For those who haven’t tried CBD oil before, it’s a heavier, glossy, yellow-toned oil with a slightly earthy fragrance. Although it isn’t strong enough for aromatherapy uses per se, it does immediately remind me of CBD sleep drops, so I already feel calmer by association. Unlike some face oils that can take ages to soak in and often leave a sticky residue on your hands, this is surprisingly fast-absorbing and does make my thirsty skin feel quenched. While Moss’s routine recommends using the oil during the day, I applied before bed to see the untouched results the next morning.
