Are essential oils good for your skin?

Gavin Purdie — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 12:31:00 +0100

We believe wholeheartedly in the therapeutic benefits of pure essential oils. When blended knowledgeably into organic skincare products, high-quality essential oils can bring incredible healing benefits. However, using cheap essential oils (and products that contain them), or using essential oils inappropriately, can be damaging for your skin. In this blog, we hope to shed some light on the wondrous benefits of using essential oils properly, as well as showing you how to use them safely and how to identify essential oil skincare that you can trust.

Since releasing our men’s range of organic skincare products, we’ve had lots of interest in our beard oil. (And we’ve also seen some fine Scottish beards, we might add!) But, we meet many customers who are unfamiliar with what beard oil actually does. So, we thought it’d be helpful to explain a bit about what beard oil does and how to use it here.

One of our best-selling organic skincare products here at Purdie’s is without a doubt our face moisturiser. It’s been featured in magazines such as Scotland’s No 1 Magazine. But beyond being a high-quality organic face cream with exceptional healing benefits, one of its big draws is that it’s plastic-free. As we continue on our journey towards reusable packaging for all Purdie’s of Argyll products, we thought we’d take this opportunity to tell you a little more about our eco-friendly face moisturiser and all its lovely benefits.

The more eagle-eyed among our loyal Purdie’s customers may have spotted some changes in our packaging recently. And you’re absolutely right. We are gradually changing our packaging to move away from plastics and towards more reusable alternatives. We’re really excited about this so we wanted to share with you a bit about what we’ve been doing.

Our three favourite feel-good Inveraray walks

When we’re not making organic skincare or running our wee Inveraray shop, there’s nothing we love more than a walk. We may stay close to town on a peaceful forest trail or lochside walk, or head into the nearby mountain range for a more gruelling challenge – it all depends how energetic we’re feeling! Whatever route we choose, Inveraray’s mix of natural beauty and historic sites always makes it a beautiful and interesting place to hike. So, pull on your walking boots, fill that flask with tea and get yourself out to see what Inveraray has to offer.
