How do I apply facial oil?
- I cleanse my face and gently dry my skin.
- I apply a cotton pad with a hydrolat or mist with a toner to neutralize the limescale. By lightly moistening the skin in this way, the treatment oil will penetrate in 2 seconds!
- I take 4 to 6 drops of oil in the palm of my hand.
- I massage my face with gentle effleurage strokes.
- I finish by placing my hands on my face, to make the oil penetrate with the warmth of my palms.
In practice:
The oil can be applied in the morning: as a serum or mixed with your face cream for soft, pulpy, perfectly protected skin. Or in the evening, on its own, for intensely nourished, repaired and plumped-up skin in the morning!
