I think
facial oils are the most important step to invest in when it comes to your evening
routine. I like to think of the sandwich theory…your bread is the cleanser, and
moisturiser, nothing too fancy, just something to get the job done. Then the
filing is your serum or treatment oil, now that’s where we want the good stuff!
Sarah Chapman Overnight Facial: I’ve never
been one to stray too far from my beloved Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery
Concentrate, and even when I do, more often than not I’ll go back to it in a
matter of weeks. This however, I’ve repurchased, which means it must be good!!

Chapman is a gorgeous skincare brand from the UK, I feel like their kind of
known for their amazing treatment facial oils, so I had to try one out.
This has a lovely thick, oil texture. Not thick
in a bad way, thick in an ‘oh man this
feels luxurious’ way. The only thing that annoys me is you can’t see how
much product you’re using as the bottle is completely opaque. This is more
beneficial for the product, as the sunlight won’t disturb the ingredients and
make them go bad, but it just means you run out of it one day with no real
warning. Aside from that, I do like the pump, it’s very easy to use and doesn’t
make using an oil too much of a faff.
The way it
feels on the skin is amazing. It’s so hydrating and leaves my skin plump and nourished
when I wake up. I have normal/combo skin, I don’t have too many problem areas,
but I do get the odd dry patch, oily t-zone, and a blemish from time-to-time.
Even when I feel a bit oilier, like now the weather is warming up, it’s still
not too heavy on the skin, it sinks in really well.
I take 1-2
pumps, and pat it into my skin. I like to use patting motions first, then go in
and massage the product, just for that extra little bit of pampering. The fact
it’s a thicker formula means that you have a bit of play time with the the
product, as it won’t sink in instantly, so take a minute or so to give yourself
a little massage, it’ll feel wonderful I promise!
I’d definitely
recommend this as a fab treatment oil to incorporate into your evening routine.
They have a morning version too which I’m likely to pick up to see how it
compares. I’m on my second bottle now, so that really is a good sign.
This sounds heavenly! I've honestly never heard of this brand but I'd love to give this a go.
