Ever since discovering the benefits of the Immortelle plant I've been raving about it to my friends. I think my excitement stems from also realising that I have this plant (see my previous post), otherwise known in Latin as Helichrysum Italicum, or in my garden centre as Curry Plant growing in such abundance that I've been chopping loads back. Not any more! For those of you who don't know here are some of the benefits.
🌱 Anti-inflammatory - ideal for those with acne, rosacea or any skin sensitivity.
🌱Regenerative - helps renew skin cells.
🌱Healing - can aid with wounds, burns and sores.
🌱Moisturising - helps lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated.
🌱Anti-oxidant - helps blocks UV rays and protects skin against pollution.
🌱Nourishing - helps diminish fine lines and blemishes.
It's a wonder plant grown in the Mediterranean region around Italy, Spain and Greece - and also my back garden! The flowers produce the essential oil, which is extracted using a process involving steaming, and then added to products.
L'Occitane Overnight Serum has taken the best part of this flower from Corsica and, with the the help of some other active ingredients, produced this amazing serum. Now I have to admit I haven't had time to test it for the full month like I usually do with most products. However, I have noted all the other ingredients and am sure this product won't disappoint. I also, as always look at other customer reviews and so I'm satisfied that this will get results.
So looking at all the other ingredients:-
🌼Meadowfoam Seed Oil - used in skincare products as a carrier oil, it contains 95% fatty acids, so ideal for eliminating wrinkles and diminishing dehydration lines. It's incredibly moisturising and also used as a skin and hair conditioner.
🌼Origanum Majorana Leaf Extract - Sweet Majoram, not only a medicinal herb that helps soothe muscle pain and ease sinuses, but in skincare helps balance skin tone, brightens sallow skin and has a very high level of antioxidants. It also helps prevent facial wrinkles.
🌼Acmella Oleracea Extract - otherwise known as 'Toothache plant' due to it's analgesic effects has been commonly compared to as a 'natural Botox'. Helps reduce muscle tension and thus relaxing facial wrinkles.
🌼Helianthus Annus - Sunflower Seed Oil, contains high levels of Vitamin E that protects the skin from pollution.
🌼Adenosine - helps decrease wrinkles and improves skin smoothness.
🌼Maltodextrin - a plant based sugar, which acts as a natural filler to help smooth the skin.
All of these ingredients packaged into a beautiful glass bottle, just a couple of drops nightly will aid in providing you with optimum skin health. Upon application the product sinks into the skin, leaving no residue. The fragrance is delicate and light, so ideal for both men and women and there is something quite satisfying at looking all the little golden pearls in the bottle!
The serum costs a reasonable (it will last a good month or more) £50 for 30ml,and I would suggest you look at the 1,237 customer reviews on Google, 132 reviews from www.ukloccitane.com for the glowing five star rating!
