When should I use monoi oil?

There are many reasons why monoi oil is a must-have. Whether it's to smell good or to protect your skin and hair, this natural cosmetic product is a godsend. Here's when it's worth using monoï.

Monoi for protection from the sun

Monoi oil is not a sunscreen, nor even a UV protection product. It's an oil, so it's more likely to burn the skin when applied for exposure. For this reason, many people think it's ideal for tanning. But it's not. On the contrary, it's an excellent after-sun product, which will moisturize your skin and soothe UV damage.

Thanks to its healing and regenerating properties, it will naturally promote cellular restructuring of your epidermis, while creating an antibacterial environment. In other words, it will rehydrate your sun-dried skin and deeply nourish it. Of course, you can also apply monoi to your hair after prolonged exposure to the sun, or apply a few monoi masks to your hair after a summer vacation. The aim is to rehydrate and nourish the hair at the very heart of the fiber.

Monoi for protection against mosquitoes

That's right! Strange as it may seem, monoi also keeps mosquitoes away! Oily substances are not appreciated by these nasty bloodsuckers. They'll have a harder time landing on coated skin than on dry skin. On the other hand, monoï's lipidic texture will make it a little harder for mosquitoes to bite your skin.

Today, there are also anti-mosquito monoi products, specifically enriched with lemongrass or other natural plants whose fragrance mosquitoes don't appreciate. So you get the double effect of protecting your skin and keeping mosquitoes away!

Monoï: the ultimate weapon for protecting your body

As you can see, thanks to its rich, natural composition, monoï is a real treasure for your skin and hair. It can be used by everyone, from infants to the elderly, all year round. It's a truly ancestral skin care product, used since the dawn of time by Polynesians.

In addition to its delicious scent, which tirelessly reminds us of vacations, monoï is a gift from nature to prevent skin infections, protect skin from the signs of time and external attacks, and also to treat or soothe problems such as eczema, redness, acne, etc. On the hair, Monoï helps redensify the fiber and protect your hair.

Natural fragrance with monoï

Is there anyone on this planet who can't stand the sweet scent of monoi? Obtained from the maceration of tiare flower buds in coconut oil, this unique fragrance is reminiscent of vacations and white sandy beaches.

Far less expensive than a top-of-the-range perfume, it provides long-lasting body fragrance while protecting your skin. What's more, it's now available in a wide range of fragrances, for ladies and gentlemen alike! Whether you prefer the classic coconut and tiare or the sweeter vanilla and passion fruit, there's a monoi fragrance you'll love to wear every day!

Massaging the body with monoi

Like most oils, monoi is also ideal for massages! This fatty, fragrant body oil with its many virtues is perfect for relaxing your muscles while moisturizing your body. Containing no alcohol or dubious substances, it can be applied all over the body and even used for massages on infants.

Whether therapeutic, de-stressing or sensual, monoi massages leave no one indifferent.
