Argan, avocado, jojoba… Vegetable oils nourish the skin very well. Best of all? That of coconut. Packed with phenolic acid and fatty acids, it has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, smoothing and restorative properties… It can be applied directly to the face and around the eyes or add a few drops to our day cream. It is also applied generously on the body, without moderation! It works wonders on dry, rough areas like knees, elbows and heels. Coconut oil also helps prevent (or reduce) stretch marks.
On the hair, you can use a vegetable oil on the lengths and ends (avoid the root, so as not to end up with a greasy hair effect). We apply it once a week as a mask, which we leave on for at least 10 minutes before shampooing (or all night if we have the courage!). The oils to favor for the hair are argan oil, castor oil (it promotes regrowth) or coconut oil. We are spoiled for choice.
For pretty lips that are not chapped in the least, we opt (again?!) for coconut oil. In addition to moisturizing the mouth, it can also be used to whiten teeth. For this, it is used as a gargle once a day for 20 minutes after brushing your teeth. Did you know?
By massaging a little castor oil on the nails and cuticles, we nourish the small skins and strengthen the nails. Provided we do it regularly (every day if possible), we will quickly notice that our nails become stronger, whiter and more beautiful. Say goodbye to soft and brittle nails!
To make your tan last, we couldn't find better than carrot oil. Naturally rich in beta carotene, it slows down the aging of skin cells and brings a touch of radiance to the complexion. It is a great after sun, which helps prevent brown spots and promote cell regeneration.
Finally, in the vegetable oil department, we have so many choices that we no longer know which one to choose. It is better to target the area you really want to treat before buying. Then, for the most undecided, we can always turn to a multifunctional oil (the delicious Huile Prodigieuse de Nuxe for example) which will take care of our face, body and hair as well!
