Review: Nyakio Hydrating Face Oil with Kola Nut

One of my favorite things about being a contributor over on Beauty Lifestyle Blog (head on over there and check it out if you haven’t) is that I get to test and review things I normally wouldn’t purchase for myself.

Today, we’re going to talk about this bad boy:

I’ve always said that skincare is such a vital part of my everyday beauty regimen. It is so important to take care of your skin, especially when you are constantly wearing makeup like I am. You always want to have an immaculate canvas.

When I received the Nyakio Hydrating Face Oil with Kola Nut, I was apprehensive at first, because I really didn’t want to put ‘oil’ on my face. I know that our skin is naturally made up of oils, but I’m always afraid when trying anything new out on my face, I’ve been having more sensitive skin these days.

That being said, I immediately went over to the Nyakio website to check out all of the ingredients for myself. The Hydrating Face Oil with Kola Nut contains Ivory Coast Kola Nut (obviously…let’s count how many times I say ‘kola nut’ in this post) and 8 essential oils including Zimbabwean Ximenia oil, Moroccan Chamomile oil, South African Trichilia oil, lavender oil, ginger oil, sesame seed oil, bitter orange peel oil, sunflower seed oil. It is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and synthetic dyes. I decided that it was safe to try!

After only a week of using the Nyakio Hydrating Face Oil with Kola Nut, my skin not only feels more moisturized and nourished, but the puffiness around my eyes has significantly diminished and the appearance of my fine lines has been reduced. While I am not a huge fan of the smell, this oil will now be an staple in my everyday (and night) routine! Results are typically measured after a period of four weeks, but I noticed them almost immediately!

I was actually shocked at how much my skin has improved and I can’t wait to see my results after using it for the entire 4 weeks that it normally takes to see results. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to bring back that healthy radiance and youthfulness to their skin!
