For quite sometime I have known I have skin asthma and have been keen to keep my skin moisturized as best as possible. After the usual OTC lotions which left me feeling like there's a plastic film on my skin I have tried HMH products. I thought it's time to take it a step further and use oil vs just plain moisturizer.
At first I only used the Sunflower Beauty oil to protect the usually scuffed areas like my elbows and knees. I noted that it doesn't feel greasy at all and does a good job of keeping my skin soft and supple. I then tried it on my feet and legs and it's the same effect.
Eventually I started using the oil for my toddler since I stopped using it (it's a whole different story and has nothing to do with the product). I read it helps lighten the skin and since my daughter had a lot of nasty scars from scratching bug bites I thought it wouldn't hurt to let her try it. I wasn't afraid to use it on her because of how pure the HMH products are. So at age 2 I started smothering my toddler's legs with the Sunflower Beauty oil every night. I saw great improvements in her darkened scars and overall skin in the legs. I have kept using it before she sleeps to help the oil soak more since she's not running around too much and I will continue to use this for her.
Overall, this is one of my favorite product from HMH. Heck, it's one of my favorite product ever. Period.
BTW, I used to use this to lock in my normal moisturizer. Meaning after bath I'd slather myself with a body lotion THEN I'd layer this on. Works best during cold weather when you need some extra protection on your skin.
So here's my review for HMH Sunflower Beauty Oil:
Packaging: 4 out of 5 (only because I wish there's a bigger bottle hehe)
Price: 5 out of 5
Smell: 5 out 5 (I don't think they used any scent additive but it's almost without any scent by itself)
Effectiveness in lightening scars: 3 out of 5 (takes time because it's just helping ones skin heal naturally vs for example some chemical peels)
