The different types of care provided by monoï

Monoï is an ancestral oil developed in Polynesia. It had many uses, but was recognized for its many benefits for body and hair.

On the bodymonoi oil brings special care to the body. It is not at all suitable for tanning, since it has no SPF. However, it prepares the skin to better receive the sun's rays. In fact, by moisturizing your skin regularly before exposure, it will be better hydrated and protected from cutaneous dryness. After exposure to the sun, monoi oil can be applied to the body to counteract the damage caused by sun, sand and salt. Skin no longer feels tight, supple, soft and healthy. It's also an excellent option for making your summer tan last!

Monoi is an unrivalled hair care product. It deeply moisturizes hair and makes it resistant. What's more, as an oil with impressive properties, monoï will also make your hair shine and feel soft to the touch. Weekly monoi oil baths or masks are recommended for beautiful hair.

Monoï is also an excellent massage oil. Ideal for babies and adults alike, monoï's gentle fragrance is soothing. Its slippery texture allows the masseur's fingers to travel over aching or simply tense bodies. Monoi massages are a great moment of well-being, but also a pleasure for the skin, which is left feeling moisturized.

Are the effects of monoï permanent or do they last?

The benefits of monoï are visible almost instantly, on both skin and hair. That's why this prestigious oil is so popular with women. In addition to leaving skin silky and hair shiny, monoï perfumes the body.

Applied to the skin, it provides elasticity and hydration. It's best to apply the oil to damp skin straight from the shower. As the hours go by, the natural scent of monoi will waft around you as you move. As for your skin, it will appear satin-smooth and shiny. Monoï should be used every day, summer and winter, to maintain intense hydration all year round.

The same goes for your hair. A weekly mask or oil bath is recommended to keep hair protected all year round. During exposure periods (spring and summer), you can alternate between oil baths and masks to provide your hair with intense hydration and care. During this period, your hair will be subjected to many drying and aggressive factors.

Finally, as far as massages are concerned, the benefits of a monoi treatment massage only last a few hours. It's a good idea to have a massage as regularly as you like. Particularly if you suffer from particular problems (blood circulation, back problems, contractures, etc.). There are no limits to monoi massages. They envelop you and help you feel soothed and relaxed.
