Why does the complexion turn greyish?
When toxins accumulate on the skin's surface and cellular renewal slows down, the skin becomes dull and lacks radiance. Dull skin is characterised by a lack of freshness and a healthy glow throughout the day. Signs of fatigue, pigmentation spots, dark circles and/or puffiness also appear. It is not uncommon to observe the first signs of premature skin sagging. A dull complexion is the result of environmental factors that affect the body and poor daily habits: lack of sleep, smoking, pollution and stress are among the main causes of this skin condition. It can also be explained by an unbalanced diet or a hormonal imbalance that contributes to the deterioration of the skin's basic functions.
Which plant oil can brighten a dull complexion?
To restore radiance to dull skin, it must first and foremost be detoxified through daily cleansing and regular exfoliation. Indeed, pollutants, allergens, toxins, etc... accumulate on the skin's surface and clog the pores. Additionally, the build-up of dead cells and the slowing down of cell renewal dull the complexion. To complement this beauty routine and regain a fresh, even and luminous complexion all year round, the use of a vegetable oil rich in antioxidants and carotenoids is recommended.
The carrot oil macerate is the ideal treatment to revitalise the skin and achieve a radiant complexion. Rich in beta-carotenes, precursors to vitamin A, it provides an immediate healthy glow to the skin and activates tanning. It also possesses antioxidant properties that help combat free radicals produced by prolonged sun exposure and prevent signs of skin ageing. Thanks to its high omega-9 content, this oil also protects the skin from dehydration by strengthening the skin's barrier function. In addition to this, the carrot oil has a softening effect on the skin due to the triglycerides and phospholipids it contains. The skin is thus nourished and illuminated.
