Is there any chance that you might be reacting to any of the oils, Elena? I
only ask because I reacted badly to rosa mosqueta oil when I applied it
undiluted to my face -- it produced localised redness and a burning
sensation. I can't find any reference on the Web to possible sensitivities
or allergies to the oil; in fact, most of the sites selling it say things
like "And because the ingredients in rosa mosqueta oil are all skin
bio-compatible, there is no risk of a sensitive/allergic reaction." But at
the time I wasn't using anything else, and my skin returned to normal as
soon as I stopped using the oil. (What does "skin bio-compatible" mean
anyway?!)
And both jojoba and Vitamin E oil occasionally trigger sensitivity or
allergic reactions, apparently. They're not common, but they're not rare
either.
Wouldn't it make sense to cut out the Vitamin E and rosehip oil, just in
case?
All the very best,
Emma
