Wonder Valley Is A Must-Try…
By contributor, Ama Kwarteng.
I’ve been lucky to have pretty decent skin my entire life but I’ve started to notice more texture issues lately. I struggle with dehydrated skin, which aestheticians are quick to point out whenever I get a facial. Quick skincare lesson: So, dry skin (a skin type) is different from dehydrated skin (a condition). If you’re like me, you have oily skin that’s also dehydrated due to factors, like this summer’s extremely high temperatures, which results in fine lines, dullness, and tight skin. The fix? Add a face oil to your routine.
Once upon a time, oil was a dirty word in the skincare space. It makes sense — for some people, the idea of smearing oil across their face is enough to break them out into a sweat. But here’s the truth: A face oil works to seal in hydration, locking in your serums and creams.
However, not all oils are created equal. Some are too heavy, leaving behind clogged pores and a shiny finish in their wake. That being said, I’m always on the hunt for an oil that checks all the boxes:
Thankfully, I’ve found one that does precisely that.

However, not all oils are created equal. Some are too heavy, leaving behind clogged pores and a shiny finish in their wake. That being said, I’m always on the hunt for an oil that checks all the boxes:
- Keeps my skincare products from quickly evaporating.
- Leaves behind a subtle dew, not a heavy shine.
- Absorbs quickly.
Thankfully, I’ve found one that does precisely that.
You’ll find jojoba oil, squalane, sunflower seed oil, olive oil, and rosehip seed oil inside the bottle. This gentle yet potent oil blend has anti-aging benefits, prevents water loss, protects against environmental damage, and soothes irritation and inflammation.
I applied the oil to my face as the last step in my skincare routine, my skin immediately felt hydrated and smooth. This isn’t a heavy oil but it still feels deeply hydrating. The formula doesn’t sit on your face; it sinks in quickly and it plays well with other products, including makeup. The formula has a subtle woody scent that doesn’t overpower my nostrils and doesn't irritate my skin. After testing for a few weeks, my skin felt more plump and hydrated and my complexion looked more radiant.
Results will depend on your initial concerns, but you can expect plump, balanced, and glowing skin with consistent use. If you’ve got dehydrated, dull skin and are searching for a non-greasy oil, Wonder Valley’s Face Oil is up to the task. Use a light layer to seal in your AM and PM routine, and the delicate formula will deliver quick relief when your skin barrier is having a tantrum.
