How does body oil work? ? 

 

The moisturizing process of body oil involves depositing a protective film on the skin to prevent it from drying out. Among its many benefits, this treatment has a soothing, regenerating effect.

 

Often iridescent, pearly or glittery, body oils are a must-have beauty asset, providing an irresistible glow, especially on a tanned or bronzed complexion. They reinforce the skin barrier of your face, which is particularly exposed, for better resistance to external aggressions (sun, cold, wind, pollution).

 

But its benefits don't stop there! Body oil also has the power to reduce the appearance of stretch marks, particularly during pregnancy and motherhood. Why not treat yourself and your baby to a skin massage gift set when you leave the maternity ward? An original gift, so you don't forget to take care of yourself.

 

A body oil is also recommended to combat cellulite, simply because it needs to be massaged in! Massage is highly effective in eliminating orange peel skin. A little tip: to boost the effectiveness of your treatment, apply a body oil enriched with essential oils with draining and toning properties (grapefruit, for example)

 

Some oils boast anti-aging benefits (reducing fine lines and wrinkles) by soothing the epidermis and boosting cell regeneration, while others offer a self-tanning effect to perfect your summer look, or even a draining and slimming treatment to help you lose weight. They are also able to reduce the traces of burns and scars, and relieve skin suffering from eczema and psoriasis. As for your hair, you can trust your hair care oil to restore shine and radiance.

Which body oil to choose?

Choose the care that's right for you

 

Oils, creams or milks - which to choose? The various body care products differ in appearance and composition and each has its own properties. Depending on the nature of your skin, you may choose one product over another. Normal skin will accept all types of skincare. However, cream is not always sufficiently nourishing (the same goes for milk). For very sensitive skin (especially baby's), oils are particularly recommended, as creams are less pleasant to spread.

 

There are a number of multi-purpose body oils to choose from, depending on how you intend to use them. In simple terms, massage requires a generous amount of oil (such as argan oil), while daily skin care needs prefer a dry oilfor suppleness, hydration and radiance.

 

Currently, dry oils are very popular products, as they have the advantage of being lighter, but just as nourishing. Their trump card? They have arather liquid texture, so are easy to spread, whereas cream or milk are thicker and creamier. What's more, dry oil doesn't stick and doesn't leave a greasy film. This makes application much faster and more pleasant. No more long waits to get dressed after a shower, when you're already running late!
