3 Ways to Use Body Oil
/Facial oils have taken the market by storm, but Flora’s Angels didn’t forget about your body! Our body oils are rich, nourishing, and luxurious, yet incredibly lightweight.
If you deal with lack of moisture in your skin, you know what we are talking about – dry skin is tight, rough, dull and uncomfortable and dealing with it often seems like a never ending battle. We need something more powerful than lotions, and that’s why Flora’s Angels is here -- to give you the moisturize and TLC your body needs.
Body oils are pretty incredible skin care products that can help you treat more than one issue. Here are a few ways to use Flora’s Angels oil.
The Proper Way -- On Your Body
First and most obvious – you can use Flora’s Angels oil to moisturize your body. In fact, oils are amazing skin moisturizers because they mimic natural skin lipids, prevent the water from evaporating and protect the skin.
Whether you choose Lavender, Rose or Hibiscus Infused Oil your skin will be grateful to you. All these oils are highly moisturizing, fast-absorbing, soothing and revitalizing. They can help you thoroughly replenish your skin, slow down the aging process, reduce inflammation and maintain your skin soft, smooth, supple and youthful. They will also add a subtle natural glow to your skin without making it look or feel greasy.
The best way to use a Flora’s Angels oil as a body moisturizer would be to apply it right after a shower, while your skin is still warm and slightly damp. That way, the oil will lock the moisture into your skin, preventing it from evaporating and maintaining your skin well hydrated for much longer. Plus, damp skin absorbs better than dry skin, so the oil will sink in faster and your skin will get even more nutrients.
Depending on the condition of your skin, you may be able to use just the oil to moisturize your skin. Although in some cases you will get the best results if you combine the oil with a small amount of body butter.
Cuticle Oil
Dry skin on hands is nothing new – anything from harsh weather to striping soaps can make it rough and irritated. Cuticles are especially sensitive to these conditions. They easily dry out and crack. And of course – you can’t have healthy nails without healthy cuticles, which is the main reason why cuticle oils have become so popular lately. While the rest of your hands can easily get away with just a hand cream, your cuticles usually need some more help to stay healthy and nourished.
Regular application of a small amount of cuticle oil helps not only your cuticles, but it can also help your nails stay strong and flexible and can even somewhat promote their growth.
Small bottles of cuticle oil can get pricey -- But why invest in yet another product, when your Flora’s Angels oil already contains the nutrients your cuticles and nails need to be perfectly moisturized, healthy and protected?
Massage Oil
Last but not least, you can use Flora’s Angels body oils as massage oils, to enhance your self-care experience and get some aromatherapy benefits.
The main task of massage oil is to help hands glide over your skin while reducing friction. Sweet almond, jojoba and grapeseed oil are very popular choices even amongst professional massage therapists because of their silky texture that gets absorbed quickly, but not so quickly that you need to keep reapplying it.
Massages can help you relax and reduce anxiety, but it also improves circulation, reduce muscle tension and can even improve your skin tonus. It is a perfect end to a long, stressful day. You can get even more benefits by choosing a massage oil with the right essential oils for your self-care needs.
Lavender and frankincense combo, for example, has some powerful relaxing and grounding properties.
Rose, jasmine and geranium have uplifting, rejuvenating effects on the body and many people believe they can promote creativity and inspiration.
Juniper berry and cypress, on the other hand, make an effective pick-me-up that is both calming and stimulating. Juniper berry is also known to be purifying and it can encourage the elimination of toxins.
All of these ingredients can be found in Flora’s Angels body oils, so grab yours today!
