Dry Monoi Oil for a Perfect Tan: Everything You Need to Know
It’s well known, vacations are made for relaxing, recharging, spending time with family… and tanning! So, if you’re tempted by dry monoi oil to kickstart or perfect your tan, Corine de Farme shares everything you need to know.
All the properties and benefits of monoi for you
It’s true, monoi smells divinely good, but that’s not its only asset. For you, your senses, your skin, and also your hair, monoi oil is a real fountain of youth to try without delay.
Thanks to its captivating scent and a natural composition obtained from tiare flowers macerated in coconut oil, Tahiti monoi with designation of origin is the ultimate oil for relaxation and soothing massage.
Restorative and stimulating, monoi is also the ally of skin that wants to stay beautiful all year round. Moisturizing and softening, it effectively fights against dryness of the upper layers of the epidermis (caused by the sun in summer and cold temperatures in winter) without any risk of irritation.
Is your hair dry or curly? Just like for the skin, note that monoi hydrates, nourishes, repairs, and protects the hair fiber. As a bonus, it redefines curls and eliminates frizz.
Its satin effect is a true tan enhancer. In Polynesia, where it is made, monoi oil has been used as a moisturizing after-sun for hundreds of years.
How to Use Dry Monoi Oil for Your Tan?
Monoi is one of those beauty treatments you should always keep on hand, not only for its fragrance and effectiveness, but also because it is very easy to use.
Corine de Farme offers its dry monoi oil for tanning, which is lighter and non-greasy, perfect for touch-ups throughout the day.
On the skin, apply it regularly and massage until fully absorbed. Reapply frequently, especially after sun exposure or if your skin is particularly dry.
For hair regeneration, put a few drops in the palm of your hands before running them through your lengths. When you have time, also enjoy a monoi hair bath by leaving it on for 30 minutes before shampooing.
Dry Oil and Sun Protection: Beware of Overheating
While Corine de Farme’s dry monoi tanning oil has a sun protection factor of 6, remember that this is still low and therefore reserved for already tanned or dark skin, for whom the risk of sunburn is lower.
Also, don’t forget to apply your SPF6 oil very regularly and generously, especially if you swim, shower, or towel off between applications.
And so that all skin types can benefit, Corine de Farme recommends to all its Sacrées Natures the use of dry monoi oil as a moisturizing and soothing after-sun. After a shower, it’s a real moment of pleasure.
In fact, enjoy it without hesitation since most Corine de Farme products are now made in France, in our factories, ensuring perfect compliance with formulation rules and a reduced CO2 impact.
3 Corine de Farme Tips for a Great Tan!
As you know, getting a good tan is not just about sun exposure. It is recommended to prepare your skin and maintain your tan if you want it to last longer.
Before going on vacation, but also throughout the year, exfoliate! Focus on your arms and legs, knees and elbows, to remove dead skin that prevents you from tanning well.
Once the sun is out, use and abuse your favorite sunscreen to ensure a gentle and even tan, without risk to your skin.
Finally, tan gradually by never staying out too long, never during the hottest hours of the day, and always with a bottle of water and your SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.
