Seabuckthorn Oil - the good, the bad and the smelly

As I mentioned in my first post, I've gotten veeeery into oils over the past year and in addition to regularly using Argan and Sesame oils on my face (have yet to delve into oil cleansing but can envision the benefits) and body, I've recently started using Seabuckthorn oil on my face due to other users that say it calms Rosacea.

Currently I'm using Sibu brand :
















After cleansing with Everyday Coconut face wash (which contains Neem oil as the first ingredient - a great oil for purification if you suffer from breakouts), I'll pat my face dry and then spray with Avene thermal spray (the oil is better absorbed if your face is damp).  I'll gently rub 2-3 drops over my face and let it absorb.  Now I will warn you - this has a noticeable smell.  If you're sensitive to smells, this may not be for you.  But so far I've been able to handle it (all in the name of beauty!). While it hasn't been a miracle cure for my rosacea, I have noticed a subtle lessening of redness and pimples, and its bounty of Omegas and other benefits (repairing skin damage from sun exposure, fighting wrinkles, and some bloggers say it heals burns and reduces inflammation etc.) will certainly keep me using it until the bottle is finished.

Have you tried Seabuckthorn oil?  Comment below!
