Back to work after the summer holidays, we feel the feeling that summer is over …. blessed are those who have chosen to go on holiday in mid-August and are now still enjoying the sun, the sea or the mountains!
But no! Summer is still here for everyone, even for those who have started working again. Summer also means sun, heat, taking care of the skin after exposure to the sun, thinking about the fragrance that will accompany us in the last month of summer.
After exposure to the sun, the skin still needs hydration and nourishment to keep the tan longer but also to slow down cellular aging and restore lcentenzza to the hair.
Vegetable oils, contrary to popular belief, do not leave the skin too greasy if they are spread on the body with slightly wet hands. In this way, in fact, the hydrolipidic film of the skin is able to absorb it much faster and a smaller amount is enough for a soft, hydrated, nourished and extremely shiny and healthy skin. Hair also benefits from oil packs.
Argan oil: extracted exclusively from the almonds of the fruits of Argania spinosa, from Morocco. Argan oil has anti-aging, healing, repairing, protective and elasticizing properties, thanks to its richness in antioxidants, such as vitamin E, fatty acids and flavonoids.
Jojoba Oil: Extracted from the seeds of a growing plant in the desert, the Simmondsia chinensis. It has a slightly exotic fragrance, is very well absorbed, is rich in antioxidants and is very similar to the structure of human sebum, a substance that our body produces to protect the skin and keep it hydrated. For this reason it is an excellent skin rebalancing, useful in case of flaking, acne, psoriasis, oily or combination skin.
Coconut Oil: cold extract of coconuts ( Cocos nucifera L.). Promotes tanning and deeply hydrates the skin. Intensely nourishing, it can be used after the bath to replace the moisturizer, massaging it on the skin that is still damp. Below 18 degrees, coconut oil solidifies; before use, heat the package in a water bath to make it return to liquid form. Before shampooing, it should be left on for at least half an hour on dry hair. They will be soft and very shiny. Coconut oil keeps very long.
Sweet Almond Oil: emollient, nourishing and moisturizing. Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil) is compatible with the skin, even the most delicate, of adults and children. Ideal for dry or pregnant skin to prevent stretch marks. It can be used after hair removal, for baby massage, on children in case of irritations caused by measles, eczema and chicken pox, for cleaning the face, hair, lips.
Olive Oil: “Extra virgin” olive oil is present in some of our cosmetics diluted but still active, it plays an important role thanks to the oleic acid content. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and in fact we mix it with the Boswellia oil that we use in our stick ARTROREUMABLOC for treatments articular.
