Hitting 25 scared the shit out of me but it forced me to explore the fun side of beauty – oil. I have oily skin so it seems strange to add more to my skin but the result is super soft skin and an anti-aging effect. Plus dousing myself in oil makes me feel a little bit like Cleopatra.

Today’s Lily Loves Alphabet is an introduction to the three essential oils in my daily routine, Nuxe’s Huile Prodigieuse, REN’s Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil and O’right’s Purple Rose Oil for hair.

Stay tuned for the full Lily Loves Alphabet coming soon to LilyMercer.co.uk.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse for face, body and hair is a product I came across in France a few years ago and ever since I’ve struggled to live without it.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse contains a blend of precious plant oils and vitamin E leaving skin smooth but as it’s a dry oil, there’s no surface oil left on the skin. The ingredients smell amazing together making this the perfect addition to a massage.

REN Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil

I have a big roll-top bath and love to have baths with a few drops of Ren’s Moroccan Rose Otto Bath Oil. This is my treat oil because it feels very decadent but Rose oil is also known for its stress-relieving and healing properties. In fact, it’s said to clear feelings of resentment and can even help mend a broken heart. Plus this bottle looks nice in the bathroom.

O’right’s Purple Rose Oil

This was a gift from my mum who’s been using this oil for a while. It’s amazing for dry hair and makes your hair so soft if you apply when wet. The oil is made with natural purple rose essential oil, certified organic foaming agents and botanical colour care formula.

It’s environmentally friendly, not to mention the oil smells incredible and will have you smelling and stroking your hair all day. My friends often catch me doing exactly that and think I’m really weird, but I just really love my hair.
