With back to school on its way, the imminent Labor Day weekend, and the sunsets getting earlier and earlier, it’s safe to say that we’re close to the end of summer. Sayonara, long walks on the beach, au revoir late nights to Dairy Queen! While I deal with the end of my best days (I’m a summer baby who makes sure you know it), Summer Fridays somehow managed to keep the feeling of rich, glowing, summery skin and put it in a bottle with their latest launch, a facial oil named the Heavenly Sixteen All-in-One Facial Oil.
I truly love everything Summer Fridays has put out — their lip balm is a must-have for sleeping, and the Jet Lag Mask has been in my travel bag for years, so when I heard they were launching a facial oil, I knew it had it be good. Heavenly Sixteen, according to the brand, is a “restorative blend of 16 non-comedogenic, vegan oils [that] deeply conditions, plumps, and helps boost skin’s elasticity.” Reading that, I’m like that GIF from Parks and Recreation, except instead of “money, please,” I’m like, “oil, please,” with the grabbiest of grabby hands.
Summer Fridays promises Heavenly Sixteen to be a quick-absorbing yet rich formula, full of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants, including prickly pear seed oil to help fill in lines and plump skin; sacha inchi seed oil to strengthen and protect the skin barrier, and moisturizing pomegranate seed oil. In addition, it also boasts a great list of recognizable (and summery) ingredients: meadowfoam, hemp, sunflower, cranberry, olive, broccoli, and grapeseed oils, all of which are great for your skin’s appearance and health. It’s perfect on its own as a final step in your skincare routine, or added to a moisturizer to boost its already great moisturizing and hydrating properties. Summer may be almost over, but this oil could be my own summer in a bottle.
