The  Professional’s Secret to Radiant Skin: Which Treatment Oil is Right for You?

By: Aurelia Rejuvenate

Don’t have time to read? Here is the cheat sheet:

• Dehydrated? Use Blue Orchid.

• Sensitive/Red? Use Santal.

• Oily/Pores? Use Lotus.

• Special Event? Finish with the Riman Collagen Mask.

In the UK, our skin is constantly under siege. From the harsh, drying central heating in the winter to the unpredictable coastal winds, our “moisture barrier” is often the first thing to suffer. When your skin feels tight, looks dull, or starts to show fine lines earlier than it should, a standard moisturiser often isn’t enough. You need the concentrated power of a treatment oil.

The Salon Perspective In my clinic, I see many women who are “scared” of oils—they worry about breakouts or looking greasy. But after 20 years of hands-on experience, I can tell you that the right oil is actually the fastest way to transform your complexion. During a professional ritual, I use these oils to “reset” the skin, and today, I’m sharing how you can get those same salon results at home.

1. The “Glow-Getter” – Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil

Best for: Dehydrated, tired, or “grey” looking skin.

If you live in a busy city or find yourself stressed and lacking sleep, this is your “reset” button. Blue Orchid is specifically formulated for dehydrated skin—skin that lacks water, not just oil.

• The Secret Ingredients: A 100% pure plant extract blend of Rosewood, Patchouli, and Blue Orchid.

• Why it Works: The Patchouli and Orchid revitalise and tone the skin, while the Hazelnut Oil base prevents moisture loss—crucial for the UK climate!

• Professional Tip: Always apply this to damp The oil “traps” the moisture on your face, making it look plump and dewy instantly.

​2. The “Calming Comfort” – Santal Face Treatment Oil

Best for: Dry, extra-dry, or sensitive skin prone to redness.

For many of my clients, the combination of cold winds and indoor heating leads to “angry” skin—red patches, tightness, and a texture that feels like sandpaper. If this sounds like you, Santal Oil is your sanctuary.

• The Secret Ingredients: A soothing blend of Sandalwood, Cardamom, and Lavender.

• Why it Works: Unlike lighter oils, Santal is designed to nourish deeply. The Sandalwood and Lavender work to “de-stress” the skin cells, while Cardamom helps to decongest and calm visible redness.

• Professional Tip: If your skin is feeling particularly reactive, mix two drops of Santal Oil into your night cream. It creates a “buffer” that protects your skin while you sleep.

​3. The “Balancer” – Lotus Face Treatment Oil

Best for: Oily or combination skin with enlarged pores.

It is a common myth that oily skin doesn’t need oil. In fact, oily skin is often “crying out” for moisture, which causes it to overproduce sebum. Lotus Oil is a natural astringent that tells your skin it can stop working so hard.

• The Secret Ingredients: Purifying Lotus extract, Rosemary, and Geranium.

• Why it Works: This is a “dry” oil. It feels incredibly lightweight and works to visibly tighten pores and refine the skin’s texture.

• Professional Tip: Focus the application on your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Using Lotus Oil at night actually results in a more matte and balanced look the next morning.

​4. The ‘Ultimate Glow’ Booster – RIMAN 100% Collagen Melt Mask

Best for: Instant lifting, intense hydration, and that “glass skin” finish.

While treatment oils provide the essential daily nutrients, sometimes you need something more intensive. When a client needs an immediate “lift” for a special event, I turn to the latest innovation in Korean skincare: the Riman Collagen 100 Melting Mask.

• The Technology: This isn’t your average sheet mask. It uses patented technology where the collagen literally melts into the skin upon contact with moisture.

• Why I Love It: In 20 years of practice, I have rarely seen a product that provides such an immediate “plumping” effect. It fills in fine lines and restores a youthful bounce instantly.

• The Professional Ritual: After applying your chosen Treatment Oil, apply the Collagen Melt Mask over the top. The oil acts as a conductor, helping the collagen penetrate deeper while sealing in the active ingredients.
