4 GOOD REASONS TO FALL FOR NUTS

Oilseed nuts: your beauty secret for beautiful skin

Thanks to their richness in vitamins and trace elements, walnuts and nuts provide the skin with nutrients that help maintain its balance. To regain a peachy complexion and a radiant glow, choose your oilseed nuts according to your skin type, to give it exactly what it needs.

Oilseed nuts that rehydrate dry skin

Dry and dehydrated skin needs two things: water and fat! To bring suppleness, comfort, and radiance to tight skin, go for the oilseed nuts richest in great nourishing power.

• Macadamia nut

Of all nuts, it contains the most fats – but no worries: it’s good fat! With an exceptional composition, the macadamia nut is made up of 78% fats, of which 60% are cholesterol-lowering monounsaturated fats. It is also rich in vitamin B, which helps keep the skin healthy.

• Brazil nut

Thanks to its exceptional richness in selenium, a trace element essential for the body’s proper functioning, as well as vitamin E, the Brazil nut has a very high nourishing power that is naturally beneficial for the skin.

• Almond

Naturally very rich in antioxidants, almonds help skin cells retain the water contained in the skin, thus contributing to good hydration.

Omnisens’ advice for well-hydrated skin: Drink plenty of water, summer and winter alike, and apply a Nuage d’Eau hydrating mask once a week. The skin is thus well moistened and the water is retained thanks to the mask’s lipid film. Plumping effect guaranteed!

Oilseed nuts that nourish mature skin

As we age, the outer skin tends to lose suppleness, firmness, and elasticity. To remedy this and fight skin aging, stock up on oilseed nuts rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

• Walnut

A natural anti-aging food par excellence, the walnut is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. Thanks to its excellent omega 3/omega 6 ratio, it helps preserve skin suppleness and protect its cells from tissue damage.

• Hazelnut

Another nut extremely rich in vitamin E: the hazelnut! Delicious and perfectly crunchy, it is excellent for helping the skin keep all its youth and radiance.

• Pistachio

A source of vitamins and magnesium, the pistachio is a well-kept beauty secret of Mediterranean women. It is also rich in vitamin E, making it a powerful ally against free radicals.

Omnisens’ advice for rejuvenated skin: Swap your morning coffee for green tea, and faithfully apply your Secrets du Temps anti-aging cream which offers a double benefit: long-lasting optimal hydration and anti-aging action thanks to its powerful antioxidant ingredients.

Oilseed nuts that rebalance combination or oily skin

Prone to blemishes and blackheads, combination to oily skin needs rebalancing. For this, consume foods rich in zinc, and keep a light hand on quick sugars and dairy products, which promote sebum production and skin inflammation.

• Cashew nut

An excellent source of monounsaturated fats rich in vitamins and minerals, the cashew nut is especially known for its high zinc content! This essential trace element with sebum-regulating power allows pores to free themselves from impurities and the skin to breathe better.

• Sesame seeds

Like the cashew nut, sesame seeds are rich in zinc, although their concentration is more modest. They nevertheless have interesting potential for combination to oily skin due to their calcium content, which provides calcium to the body while avoiding dairy products! This is also true for almonds, of which 30g provide 70mg of calcium.

Omnisens’ advice to keep a fresh complexion: Avoid overindulging in sweets and especially chocolate, known to promote skin blemishes, and regularly exfoliate your skin with our Poudre de douceur scrub! Facial exfoliation is done with almond shell powder; this natural scrub softens, smooths, and tones the skin.
