Body oils are wonderful for a number of reasons. They moisturise, of course, but in addition there is the joy of applying them after a shower, their ability to heal and regenerate, and the wonderful quality they lend to the skin.
The Cherish Skin Repair Body Serum by Roques ONeil is out of this world and has absolutely blown me away. Consider it the Rolls Royce of body oils.
Our skin is at the mercy of so many damaging factors – stress, pollution, sun for example – which can lead to a loss of elasticity and tone. This body serum is a natural treatment that revitalises and heals, with its essential oils, vegetable carriers and extracts that restore skin to its younger self. Over time the serum can condition and repair skin, as well as protect. All told, the result will be a fabulously nourished, toned and lustrous skin.
The ingredients are amongst the best I have ever seen in any body oil, and that is reflected in its superior performance. There is a combination of skin rejuvenating, moisturising and circulation-boosting ingredients that soothes, replenishes and cares for dry or devitalised skin.
The addition of aromatic ingredients is not for scent alone. Certainly, they provide the instantly alluring aroma, but also include healing and regenerative geranium bourbon, moisturising patchouli, soothing neroli combined with toning grapefruit, ylang ylang and tangerine.
The delectable fragrance is suspended in a super-boosted blend of carriers and CO2 extracts: tissue-healing argan oil, moisturising rice bran oil, avocado oil, protecting red raspberry seed oil, softening broccoli seed oil, regenerative carrot oil, tissue- and circulation-boosting horse chestnut oil are further enhanced with sea buckthorn, Arctic blackcurrant and rosehip seed extracts to rebuild, refine and heal sun-damaged skin.
This exquisite blend has been crafted by the incredibly talented Michelle Roques-O'Neil, who was named by Vogue as one of the Top 10 aromatherapists in the world. Described as a modern-day alchemist, and with a career spanning more than 30 years, Michelle has pioneered innovative treatments and developed acclaimed products.
She also collaborates with other brands, including De Mamiel, which is another favourite with our editorial team. With the Cherish Skin Repair Body Serum, Michelle wanted to create a super-boosted, high-performance serum for the body, with effects that are immediate – almost like magic.
Thoughtfully packaged, the heavenly body serum comes in a gorgeous miron glass bottle that protects the precious ingredients from the UV light.
No matter how many body lotions and oils I try, I always come back to this as the best body serum. It is so indulgent and just a beautiful experience, always with great results.
