Grapefruit in our Anti-fatigue mask! What for?

On continue la saga beauté botanique avec l’huile essentielle de Pamplemousse certifié BIO, un extrait naturel aux bénéfices multiples pour lequel nous avons eu un gros coup de cœur.

Grapefruit or Pomelo, what is the difference?

First of all, we need to clarify one point! The fruit known as grapefruit (which you can find in the list of ingredients of our formula under the Latin name of Citrus x Paradisi) is actually a Pomelo and the essential oil is a Pomelo oil!

The term Grapefruit that we use in our daily lives is a misnomer for botanists and agronomists. For them, the grapefruit has nothing to do with the round fruit with pink flesh that we eat in our salads or in juice. It is a huge citrus fruit that can weigh up to 8 kg (its Latin name is citrus maxima, everything is said) much more bitter and acid than its cousin the Pomelo.

The "grapefruit" is actually a Pomelo.

 

The Pomelo, or Citrus x Paradisi of its Latin name

Let's go back to our Pomelo. This nice fruit comes from a hybrid tree, a cross between a grapefruit tree and a sweet orange tree and belongs to the Rutaceae family.

 And since the fruit grows in clusters, that's why it's called grapefruit. You'll really be able to impress your friends with all this culture, but in the meantime let's get down to business: its essential oil and its benefits!

Grapefruits grow in clusters on their tree.

 

A gifted essential oil

The essential oil of grapefruit (or rather Pomelo) is obtained by steam distillation of the dried peel of the fruit. It takes about 250 kg of peels to obtain 1 kg of essential oil...

This oil is particularly appreciated for its stimulating and astringent properties.

It is also a friend of dull complexions and blemished skin due to its purifying and decongesting action. Used in body care products and oils, it is also a draining active ingredient of choice to fight against water retention and cellulite.

Its fruity fragrance inspires vitality and good mood and proves to be an excellent anti-stress. Some also say that it stimulates creativity. Used in diffusion, it also purifies the air in the house. Only happiness....

 

The star ingredient of our anti-fatigue mask:

Nous avons donc sélectionné l’huile essentielle de pamplemousse certifiée BIO, dans le masque anti-fatigue Les Poulettes Paris, pour ses propriétés tonifiantes.


The formula contains revitalizing rose water rich in vitamin C, as well as moisturizing active ingredients, of course. Because tired skin is often synonymous with dehydrated skin!

Let yourself be tempted by this concentrate of pep and tonus as soon as the first signs of fatigue appear, to find a rested face and a fresh complexion. This mask will quickly become the essential remedy for overworked days and short nights.

 

Please note:

We recommend that pregnant women do not use the anti-fatigue mask during the first 3 months of pregnancy, since our star active ingredient is an essential oil, and to opt for the other masks in the range in the meantime.
