When skin ages cell division is slower and the Epidermis gets thinner. The skin metabolism gets slower, sweats less, and loses oils and proteins. Collagen and elastin, two protein fibres which give the skin its elasticity and resilience begin to loose elasticity and the ability to hold water, causing skin to become dry. As we age, skin becomes more easily damaged, light sensitive, with more visible pigmentation. Lines and wrinkles from laughter and other habitual facial expressions deepen. Skin ages for two reasons: environmental stress, (eg sun damage or photo-aging), and intrinsic aging, where protein fibres are naturally replaced at a slower rate. We can’t stop fibre replacement slowing down, but we can help prevent the damage from environmental stress.

All of their oils may be used for any kind of massage: foot massage, hand massage, neck massage, a relaxing massage or a sports massage. Arnica Massage Oil is the preferred choice by thousands of massage therapists throughout the world. We also suggest Lavender Massage Oil for a calming massage before bedtime. All of our body oils are rich in plant oils, which support the elasticity of the skin.
