British actress Anna Friel is the new face of New Zealand skincare brand Trilogy. The natural-based ingredient line has hired the flawless-skinned beauty in hopes of raising its skin, body and haircare presence in the UK and Ireland. Anna said, "I'm always searching for pure, natural, ethically sourced products, but Trilogy is the first natural skincare brand I've ever used that that actually works. My skin was really dehydrated, but after using the Trilogy range I can see and feel the difference — my skin is glowing."

Triology is known for its certified organic rosehip oil and is a NATRUE (natural cosmetics) approved brand. I can't wait to see more photos of Anna for Trilogy, how about you?

Why Facial Oils Are So Good for Your Skin

Facial oils have been getting a lot of press recently, with Miranda Kerr extolling the virtues of rosehip oil, and Emma Stone revealing her penchant for grapeseed oil.

Facial oils have been getting a lot of press recently, with Miranda Kerr extolling the virtues of rosehip oil, and Emma Stone revealing her penchant for grapeseed oil. But what is so great about these kinds of products? Corinne Morley, in-house beauty expert for New Zealand natural skincare brand Trilogy, has given me the lowdown on how facial oils work. She said:

"The superfine consistency of pure plant oils like rosehip means they are more readily accepted by the skin. The molecular structure of these oils is similar in design to the sebum our skin produces, so they don’t clog or irritate pores like mineral oils can, and allow quick absorption of natural actives. The high concentrations of essential fatty acids (omegas 3 and 6) in certified organic rosehip oil deliver intensive nourishment and effective hydration, helping to improve the health of the skin, while leaving it soft, supple and glowing."
