Apply our 100% natural marula oil daily:
- After taking a warm (not hot!) bath or shower, apply our 100% natural marula oil from head to toe. The skin will have softened and your pores opened from the warm water, making it more receptive to soak in the goodness of marula oil. Remember: no two skin types are the same; no two skin types have the same oil requirement. A few drops do however go a long way because marula oil rapidly satisfies the skin.
- After washing your face with warm (not hot!) water, you can also decide to rather apply our MOZaic Marula Oil Moringa Elixir Serum. This product is potent with a rich nourishment of marula oil combined with the nourishment of Moringa Oleifera.
- Because you would have already applied marula oil to your skin in the morning before going out to play in the sun or wind, just make sure to apply it again on clean skin after taking a bath at the end of the day.
- Add a few drops of our marula oil to your daily shampoo. The skin underneath your hair will also enjoy the nourishment.
You will be amazed at the difference you experience when you follow these tips!
