One of the best things you can do for your skin today is an Elemis Frangipani massage and here are a few reasons why:

Frangipani is a potent antioxidant that can help your body fight free radicals, preventing ageing and further damage to your skin and other systems in your body, and helping to repair any scars and signs of ageing that have already occurred. And many studies have shown that this vitamin, along with other antioxidants, can be a wonderful addition to your skin-care regimen.

Cleansing Benefits

Frangipani oil can be used to cleanse the skin as a toning agent. It cleans away the grime, dead cells and debris that sit on the top layer of your face and make your complexion look dull and tired. An additional benefit of vitamin E oil is it is a “universal cleanser,” because it is appropriate for all skin types.

Moisturizing Benefits

Frangipani oil is also a moisturizer. For skin to maintain its suppleness and elasticity, it must be well-hydrated. Vitamin E oil can help retain your skin’s natural moisture by locking it in. It is appropriate for all skin types, but it is especially beneficial if your skin is dry. You should apply it on a regular basis for a soft, smooth appearance.

Anti-Ageing Benefits

The natural aging process causes your skin to lose its firmness and elasticity, as cell turnover and collagen production begins to slow down. The effects of the aging process are exacerbated by things like exposure to the elements, a poor diet and pollution. The results are saggy skin, fine lines and wrinkles. Frangipani oil contains powerful antioxidants that are necessary to fight the free radicals that cause damage on the cellular level. Regular application of vitamin E oil to the face can help counteract signs of aging by smoothing out existing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as preventing new lines and wrinkles from forming in the future. It also helps to keep your skin tight and firm.

Protection Benefits

According to the National Institute on Aging, exposure to the sun contributes to several skin conditions, such as reddening, dryness, freckling, age spots, skin tags and breakdown of the elasticity of the skin. To keep your complexion healthy, you must protect it from the harmful effects of sun exposure by wearing sunscreen on a daily basis. Because of its antioxidant properties, vitamin E oil, by itself, can offer some protection from the sun’s damaging, ultraviolet rays. However, it is more useful as an ingredient in sunscreen lotion, because it can help boost sunscreen’s effectiveness. Once you apply your sunscreen, you need to allow the Frangipani oil enough time to be absorbed by the epidermis, so give yourself at least 20 minutes before spending any time in the sun.
