Sundari Essential Oil Skincare

While this little bottle of organic essential oils marketed as skincare smells divine…and did somewhat elevate my mood as good as it smelled, it did worse for my skin. The spa consultant at Escape Spa Northridge swore by it’s effectiveness pointedly due to it’s Ayurvedic origins and telling me to just dab one drop and rub it into my palms and pat onto my skin before I moisturize. And so I did. And I broke out with exactly 7 adolescent type zits. The oldschool zits – the ones that are big and ripe and ugly. Zits. Not an allergic reaction, not a bad reaction, not a sensitive reaction, but a plain ugly juicy zit.

Perhaps because the only ingredients in Sundari’s Combination Skincare (retailing for $52 USD) ONLY contains essential oils, which essentially block your pores. Bad idea team Sundari!
