Beauty Bible Loves... NEOM Multi-Mineral Body Milks
We clearly remember the days when we’d sit in skincare presentations and be told: ‘Nothing is absorbed into the body via the skin. It works like a raincoat.’
Yeah, right. That’s why so many substances – from HRT gels to nicotine patches (and many, many others) are now delivered via the skin. It is a volte face of the first order (and we have to resist saying ‘Told you so,’ because that never made sense to us. We knew that if we applied an essential oil neat to the sole of the foot, we could rapidly taste it in our mouth.)
So new NEOM Multi-Mineral Milks are more than just a nourishing treat for skin. Although they definitely are that, with skin-loving ingredients like chia seed oil, rosehip, prickly pear extract and glycerin – a deceptively light texture that packs a real moisturising punch; 48 hours hydration is promised – though we haven’t left it that long between applications, to allow us to confirm.)
They also feature seven ‘wonder minerals’ (NEOM’s words, but we rather agree): potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, silicon, copper and calcium, all vital for balance and wellbeing.
NEOM have launched these milks in two of their bestselling fragrances, Real Luxury – jasmine, sandalwood, lavender – and Energy Burst, which gets the day off to a great start, with the uplifting scents of eucalyptus, rosemary and spearmint. (All NEOM’s fragrances are 100% natural, powered by essential oils.)
Of course, these aren’t medicines. They won’t replace a healthy diet or supplements, but these are all useful minerals for balance – and we can’t think of a more pleasurable way to top our levels than with a good glug of NEOM Multi-Mineral Milks.
Raincoat? Pah!
