Suffering from dry skin even though applying lotions and creams?

Did you know that the emulsifiers and binding agents that allow oil and water to mix in moisturizers and lotions actually leaves a residue on your skin that disrupts your skin's lipid barrier, allowing water to evaporate from the skin faster. What happens is that you get a fast shot of moisture that eventually fades….the result... you use more lotion, and your skin gets drier, and the cycle just continues.
Not only does this expose you to dozens of unregulated and untested chemicals that are ingredients in lotions, but it's costing you money, these moisturizers and lotions can be expensive. The cure? Switch over to pure unadulterated organic oils for skin moisturizing.

Our Indochine Natural Essence Des Plantes Organic Face Oil (50 ml) is a luxurious, moisturizing and protective face oil that will envelop both your senses and your skin in a gentle caress. Organic face oils are known to hydrate even the driest skin, but they are also one of the best treatments for oily skin and breakouts. Indochine Natural Face Oil is suitable for any skin type, providing a nourishing blend of antioxidant oils that protects skin against infection, inflammation, dry and flaky skin.

STRENGTH, CHARACTER & ALLURE

Yes, these are characteristics and benefits attributed to Patchouli essential oil, which is probably the most powerful of any essence extracted from plants. And yes, Patchouli is also considered as an aphrodisiac, as well as having grounding and balancing effects on mood.

And unknown to most Malaysians, the Patchouli plant, a species of plant from the genus Pogostemon, is native to Malaysia.

But what a contradictory essential oil in practical use…..it is one of the few essential oils (including Frankincense, Cedarwood, Sandalwood and Vetiver) that actually improves with age, so we can disregard those best-before dates!!! Like Vetiver, as it ages, the oil turns from light yellow to a very deep amber, with the aroma becoming smoother richer.

Over many centuries Patchouli oil has been used in traditional medicine in Malaysia, China and Japan. The main use has been in treating skin conditions, and has been of benefit in cases of dermatitis, eczema, acne, and dry chapped skin. Patchouli was also used in treating dandruff and oily scalp conditions. Patchouli may also be useful as a cell rejuvenator in helping to heal wounds and reducing the appearance of scars.

No surprise then that our best selling soap at Indochine Natural is our Patchouli bar. We also blend Patchouli essential oil into our Patchouli Lavender Face, and Spice Island Body Wash.
