The best firming vegetable oils
The vegetable oils presented below can be used alone or combined with one another to create an oil complex. They are applied to the face and / or the body 1 to 2 times / day (morning and evening).

Argan vegetable oil

Classic but essential, argan vegetable oil is a precious ally of mature skin and dry skin. Thanks to its many active ingredients (omega 6 and 3, monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin A and E), it helps to find young, supple and firm skin at the same time. In addition to firming, it protects the skin and fights free radicals thanks to its antioxidant action. Recall that free radicals are chemical molecules responsible for premature aging and the appearance of wrinkles by degrading the structures of the skin.

Evening primrose vegetable oil
Less known than argan oil, evening primrose vegetable oil is just as interesting for slowing down sagging skin. Obtained by first cold pressing of the seeds of Oenothera biennis, it contains many fatty acids but also phytosterols (healing and repairing), triterpenes (antioxidants and tissue protectors) and sterols (natural antioxidants). Evening primrose oil thus regenerates skin tissue and restores the elasticity and suppleness of the skin. It has the advantage of being suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and reactive skin.

Borage vegetable oil

Very rich in fatty acids and in particular in Omega 6, borage vegetable oil is ideal for mature skin. Applied to the face, it is anti-wrinkle, repairing and softening. On the body, it has an anti-stretch mark action, softening and nourishing. By repairing and regenerating skin cells, borage vegetable oil firms and restores the skin's natural elasticity.
Rosehip vegetable oil

Rosehip vegetable oil is the must-have for firming the skin. To help the skin regain its tone and suppleness, this oil can count on its polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, squalene, vitamin E, carotenoids and phenolic compounds. So many active ingredients that participate in cell regeneration, collagen synthesis and firming of skin tissue.
