my research directed me to Marula oil (mature dry skin) and read that it should be added over the moisturizer, after said moisturizer has ‘sunk’ in…But I don’t see it mentioned in your list…? What say you?

I absolutely love your advice, thank you so much!
Just a question on combining retinol and rosehip oil. I’d want to apply retinol then rosehip oil slightly after as my PM routine, would this be ok or should I wait before applying the oil?

Certain essential oils (Like Citrus family oils), but not all of them including many of those abovementioned, cause photosensitization or can irritate the skin.
What is wrong with those you mentioned?
Thank you.

In reply to Alan. Alan, rose oil is extracted from the petals of the rose and contain substances that can be irritating. Rosehip oil comes from the hips of roses and is an antiaging and moisturising powerhouse.
