illamasqua-gel-colour-in-fluster

Experience the Mystery of the Sea with New Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection Eau de Toilette

Elie-Saab-Le-Parfum-Resort-Collection-Limited-Edition-EDT

 Maybe it’s because I grew up in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, where the beach was always just a stone’s throw away or because, as a kid, my father cultivated his love of sailing and, as a result, packed up his entire family nearly every weekend for a new seafaring adventure, or maybe it’s because my mother was always so enamored by the ocean that she’d spend hours painting sandy expanses and crashing waves, but, whatever the reason, I feel the most serene, joyful, and pure when I’m by the ocean.

Body oils can be the most exquisite moisturizers — especially when applied to slightly damp skin after a refreshing shower — but, no matter how effectively the ingredients penetrate the skin (and, some oils mimic the sebum better than others), you need to apply body oil sparingly, using moderation, if you want to avoid feeling greasy (after all, your skin is an organ and, as such, it can only absorb but so much before becoming saturated).
