Our Facial Serums and How They Benefit Your Skin🔥

“Nature’s beauty bounty” – Facial oils are concentrated, nutrient-rich, and free from synthetic preservatives, making them one of the purest and most effective natural beauty treatments.

Why Oils Belong in Skincare

Contrary to the old belief that oils clog pores or leave a greasy residue, high-quality natural oils do just the opposite. For centuries, essential oils have been used to treat and balance the skin. Their small molecular structure allows them to absorb easily into the epidermis, delivering vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids exactly where the skin needs them most. The result? A silky, smooth finish and a complexion that glows with health.

Benefits of Facial Oil Serums

When chosen and applied correctly, facial oil serums offer:

Deep moisturisation and improved elasticity

Vital nourishment that feeds and strengthens the skin

Fatty acids to support the skin’s protective lipid barrier

Balance of natural oil production

A radiant, glowing complexion

Plumper, smoother skin with softened fine lines

Aromatherapeutic benefits from carefully selected essential oils

Choosing the Right Serum for Your Skin

The secret lies in selecting the right oil blend for your skin type. At The Victorian Garden, we have created carefully formulated serums to suit every need:

💜Normal/Combination Skin – T1 Anti-Wrinkle Rejuvenating Night Tissue Serum

💜Dry/Mature Skin – T9 Revitalising Flower Therapy Facial Serum

💜Oily/Problem Skin – H20 Lavender and Myrrh Facial Healing Oil

💜Sun-Damaged/Scarred or Sensitive Skin – T10 Rosehip Healing Facial Serum

Each blend combines nourishing base oils with aromatic essential oils to restore balance, radiance, and vitality to your skin—naturally.✨

✨ Ingredient Spotlight: Eyebright Extract ✨

Used for centuries in traditional European herbalism, Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) is a delicate flowering plant best known for its remarkable ability to soothe and refresh the skin around the eyes. Its name comes from its historic use in easing eye strain and brightening tired eyes — a reputation that modern skincare science has confirmed.

🌿 Why we love it in skincare:
Eyebright is naturally rich in flavonoids, tannins, and antioxidants, which help reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines. It tones and tightens delicate skin while calming irritation, making it especially beneficial in products designed for the eye area and sensitive skin.

💧 How it works:

Helps reduce swelling and puffiness around the eyes

Soothes and comforts tired, overworked eyes

Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors

Gently tones and revitalises delicate skin

At The Victorian Garden Organic Skincare Company, we use Eyebright Extract in our carefully crafted eye serums and creams to deliver the perfect balance of tradition and science — giving your eyes the care they deserve.

Do You Still Need Moisturizers and Facial Oils in Summer When Your Skin Doesn’t Feel Dry?

As temperatures climb, our skin naturally sweats more and produces extra oil. With the air feeling more humid, it’s easy to assume that moisturizers aren’t necessary. Some people even skip their skincare routine altogether, settling for just a quick face wash before heading out.

But skincare isn’t only about preventing dryness.

In fact, neglecting hydration in summer can backfire. Studies show that skin exposed to sun, heat, and sudden temperature changes (like stepping from a hot day into air-conditioned spaces) is at higher risk of dehydration, irritation, and barrier damage—issues that often show up more strongly as the season shifts into autumn.

Why Moisturizers Still Matter in Summer

Even in humid weather, air conditioning strips away skin moisture. This is why lightweight moisturizers remain essential: they keep hydration balanced without weighing the skin down.

Strong UV rays also weaken the skin barrier, leaving it more vulnerable. Plant-based creams and nourishing facial oils—like those from Victorian Garden—support the skin with botanical extracts and essential oils that help soothe, repair, and strengthen natural defenses.

What About Oily or Acne-Prone Skin?

Excess oil and summer breakouts are common concerns. The key is choosing products that won’t clog pores. Unlike heavier mineral oil or silicone-based products, Victorian Garden’s creams and oils are made with fine, plant-derived oils that absorb easily. Ingredients such as lavender essential oil and evening primrose oil help balance sebum, calm inflammation, and even provide antibacterial protection.

The Takeaway

Whether your skin is oily, combination, or dry, it still needs hydration, nourishment, and protection in summer. The secret is adjusting—not skipping—your skincare routine. Use lighter textures and smaller amounts than you would in winter, but don’t go without. Your skin will thank you now, and even more so when the cooler months arrive.

🌿 Getting Back to Basics: Face Masques ✨

Self-care starts with skin care — and one of the most luxurious rituals you can add to your week is a soothing face masque (or “face pack,” as the Victorians once called it). More than just skincare, it’s a fragrant pause for your skin and your mind.

Why Use a Face Masque?

Even with the best daily routine, life can leave skin dull — thanks to stress, late nights, air-conditioning, or cold winds.
That’s when a masque steps in: giving your skin an intense boost of what it needs most.

Cream Masques → Hydrate + replenish lost moisture for a gorgeous glow.

Clay Masques → Purify + draw out impurities, leaving skin smoother, clearer, and firmer.

🌸 Bonus: When infused with essential oils, masques don’t just treat your skin — they calm your mind through aromatherapy.

How to Use a Masque (like a pro) 🧖‍♀️

Gentle cleanse

Exfoliate

Steam face to open pores

Apply masque & relax

Rinse, tone, and finish with serum/moisturiser

✨ Tip: If you’ve got sensitive skin, skip exfoliating directly before certain masques (like our 7 Herb Masque or Marula & Mint). Exfoliate the day before instead.

🌱 Power Ingredients: Marula Seed Oil, Mafura Butter, Seaweed Extract, Black Oat, Propolis, Blueberry, Edelweiss & Watermelon.
✨ Results: Firmer, plumper, smoother, clearer skin.
🧴 New Packaging: 50ml tubes — more hygienic, easier to use, travel-friendly.
