Jojoba for dry skin.
Jojoba oil is an excellent emollient and softening treatment for dry skin. Directly after showering, on clean and dry skin, do not hesitate to applyjojoba oil all over the body to deeply nourish the skin tissue. Tap water contains limestone, which is known to be a drying agent. Thanks to the omega 9 and omega 6 fatty acids it provides to the skin, jojoba oil will strengthen the hydrolipidic film and thus prevent dehydration.
Due to these virtues, this vegetable oil constitutestheradiance botanical blend. This night serum helps to reveal skin radiance thanks to the antioxidant and regenerative actions of 5 botanical extracts
Jojoba for oily skin.
Jojoba oil is also a friend to oily skin. Its fatty acid composition is similar to that of human sebum, so the skin absorbs it perfectly. Thus, jojoba vegetable oil is capable of penetrating clogged follicles, which are the origin of comedones, and dissolving the sebum. Its anti-inflammatory properties also help to reduce redness in case of blemishes. Moreover, it is non-comedogenic (comedogenicity index = 0), it does not clog pores. With its dry texture, it leaves no oily film.
Due to its activity on oily skin, jojoba oil is included in our purifying botanical blendwithpeony. This treatmentpurifies and regenerates the skin during your sleep. This serum is applied at the end of your evening beauty routine, just before bedtime, on clean and dry skin.
How to incorporate jojoba oil into your daily routine?
Jojoba oil is a component in many cosmetic products. It is listed under the I.N.C.I. name of "Simmondsia Chinensis seed oil". This vegetable oil can also be used on its own, in its purest form. Here are our tips for incorporating this vegetable oil into a daily skincare routine.
In replacement of the day cream
Suitable for all skin types, jojoba oil can be used as a daily treatment. Highly moisturising, this oil will soften the epidermis and act as a protective shield. A few drops placed in the palm of the hand can be sufficient. To ensure the jojoba oil is well absorbed, apply it with light tapping motions, rather than spreading it.
As an evening treatment
Used alone or in conjunction with a night cream, jojoba vegetable oil can be applied as a treatment before bedtime. To fully benefit from its virtues, maximise the amount of oil to apply and make circular movements for good penetration into the epidermis. This oil does not leave a greasy finish, so you won't stain your pillows or clothes.
