Ayurda Oliana Oil Review

The underlying principle behind Ayurveda beauty is that anything you put on your body, should be nourishing...and it should be safe enough for you to eat it. Therefore, nothing you put on your body is damaging. I recently purchased this oil online and I have to say I am really impressed. With a sesame oil base and fortified with such spices as turmeric, fennel, neem, nutmeg and lots of others it feels nourishing as well. To use, I place it in a jug of hot water, and allow it to warm up. Then I massage it on, leave for 10-20 minutes, and then jump in shower and wash off. I still moisturise with my regular body lotion of the time after showering. Strangely enough, my skin is still soft afterwards! The smell would be off putting for some, and I wouldn't want to smell like it for the whole day, but by massaging on before your shower, this should help to solve that issue. Personally, the smell reminds me of KFC, (don't ask me why), so I feel hungry after my shower. I only have time for this step on the weekends as my week days are usually a little more rushed, but it is a pleasant step to take when you have the time.

I'm not into body oils etc, but I got sent this to trail so that I did.

First.. Wow I'm impressed, it made my skin so so smooth and soft and actually soaked in so it didn't feel heavy and greasy. I have really dry skin plus due to the change of weather it's been quite bad the last month. But after using this nighly after my shower my skin has been great!

I rub it on my legs, feet, arms, and stomach. The smell and packaging isn't to die for but the product itself it's fantastic!

Highly recommend for dry skin!!!

I'd never really bothered with body/skin oils, instead preferring regular moisturisers etc., but this totally opened my mind! I really made an effort to use it daily and noticed the difference, my skin felt so much nicer - soft and buttery without feeling greasy! I felt it was much more effective than regular moisturiser.

The only thing that would put me off this is the smell - strong smells make me queasy pretty easily so I don't know if it's just me and my sensitive nose. The results are pretty dramatic though so if/when my skin really needs to feel softer and smoother I'd probably put up with it. Would be awesome if it came in other scents though, I wonder if it does!

Packaging was nothing special but worked well enough. It could be easier to use in some kind of pump form, because holding a bottle with oily hands gets tricky. Still easy enough to use though!

I found this unusual for my skin. It did feel like putting cooking oil on my skin. I felt like it didnt do much for my skin. No more than moisturizers I have. I felt like after I put it on I couldnt sit down and had to wait a while before I felt like I wouldnt get it everywhere

So my first impression was yuk!!!!! I took one smell of it and wasn't too sure I wanted that stink on my body! But at least I got a wonderful massage out of it so thank you for letting me trial it! If you can get past the stink of it it is a great product. It was lovely and warm with each rub. and so relaxing The next day my skin felt so smooth and soft. I also gave my partner a massage with it just so I could see how it was to use on others. It makes massaging very easy and enjoyable. If I was to change anything about this product though it would definitely be the smell. I wouldn't buy this product personally. I would look for something that does the same thing but actually smells nice.

I have to admit, when I went to try this I wasn't so sure about it... it felt a lot heavier than I expected, and I anticipated it leaving a film on my skin.

Wow was I wrong. It absorbed really well, and I only had to use a little as it went a long way.

After the first time I used it I really noticed a change in my skin - it felt much softer. After a couple of days I was very impressed - my legs have been very dry lately, and this really helped make them feel less 'scale-y' and dry.

I really like the way my skin feels after using it, the only downside for me was the scent. While it isn't a bad scent, it isn't something that I'd usually wear and it's quite noticeable. If I hadn't had it to try and I was just basing my purchase on the scent it's very likely I wouldn't have given this a try. I'm really glad I did, because it works so well! I'd totally buy this product again.
