Precious and voluptuous, the oils soften the bath water and make the skin silky. The latest generation offers special textures to merge with it, soften without greasing and especially offer a satin finish. Discover our selection of oils of the moment.
Summer and winter, body oils are the best allies of "crocodile skins".
Care "cocooning" par excellence, they nourish the most dry skin in depth and wrap them with a protective film against external aggressions, thanks to their high antioxidant and vitamins they contain.
Body oils, for whom?
Body oils are distinguished into two categories: conventional oils (including vegetable oils ) and dry oils .
Those in a hurry will prefer to turn to a dry oil, which leaves no greasy film on the skin and therefore does not need to wait before getting dressed after application.
Those who want a little satin effect will find their happiness with vegetable oils or simple.
Another advantage to not neglect: their multi-purpose side, which will certainly please those who prefer cosmetics to do everything. Face, body, cuticle hair ... They can be used from head to toe!
How to apply it?
After heating the oil in our hands, it is applied from the bottom up to the whole body - or on areas often affected by dry skin such as elbows, knees or feet - by performing Circular movements to revive the circulation and tone the skin at the same time. Finally, we finish with smoothing movements, always starting from the bottom, to soften the skin.
Attention, if the oil for the body is in the form of spray, some precautions are to take. Better to use it in your shower / bath (that is rinsed with hot water after) or on a mat / towel large enough to prevent the projections on the ground do we make a bad fall by sliding on it.
