NEOM Perfect Night's Sleep Face Oil

And about time too.

NEOM are moving into skincare – and this longstanding favourite aromatherapy and home fragrances name have kicked off with a wonderful, why-didn’t-anyone-think-of-this-before? Sleep-beckoning facial oil.

We’re used to anointing our bodies before bedtime with sleep-inducing oils. (Do it every night, actually.) But of course when you smooth an oil into your face, it’s right next to the nose – so this gets to work straight away on the brain’s limbic system.

Lavender, chamomile and patchouli feature in the 100% natural essential oil blend, which will be familiar to anyone who enjoys NEOM’s Tranquility candles or diffusers – and it’s a pretty powerful concentration. But the base oil is also brilliantly nourishing, blending sweet almond, rosehip, coconut, olive, wheatgerm, cranberry and peach kernel oils in a formula that’s rich in vitamins A, B, C, E, F, and all the skin-friendly omegas.

They recommend a simple breathing technique to get the best out of the oil: massage two to three drops into face, and then cup hands and breathe in for a count of seven, out for 11. Do it slowly a few times. (As they add: the oil’s really only suitable before bedtime – we don’t want you slumped over your keyboard at work – and the eye zone should be avoided, as with all oils.)

Meanwhile, can you hear us gently snoring from here…?
