BODY CARE EXPERT FILE: Soft skin
With Audrey Monot, International Training Manager, Aude Morteveille, France Training Manager and Marine Arcondeguy, IOMA Paris boutique beautician.
Hidden all winter, the body takes back its place of honor with the beautiful days... Bare legs, free arms and neckline... Our skin experts share all their secrets to enhance your body before summer.
Exfoliation, the key to beautiful skin
Because exfoliation removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, it is the ally of radiance for the face and softness for the body.
The right frequency?
It all depends on your skin type. But the minimum beauty regimen is once a week and never more than twice.
The right gesture?
With the Gentle Exfoliating Veil : place a small amount of product in the palm of your hand and apply area by area all over the body. Use upward movements until the texture is transformed. Rinse.
With the Gentle Exfoliating Emulsion : apply a small amount of scrub to dry skin or damp skin (for sensitive skin). Use light circular movements until the texture whitens slightly. Rinse.
Audrey's tip: focus on particularly dry areas (elbows, knees, heels, etc.) but don't forget the rest of your body! Your skin will be more receptive to the following treatments!
The recipe for a healthy morning glow:
To prolong the radiance effect of the scrub, mix and enjoy this delicious smoothie for the skin immediately.
½ avocado
½ mango
1 handful of raspberries
1 handful of blueberries
1 glass of vegetable milk (almond, oat, soy)

Hydration, the essential gesture
Hidden under big sweaters and tights, the body is a little neglected in winter... When the good weather comes... we say no to crocodile skin on our legs!
The right frequency:
Every day! Ideally after your shower. Are you the type of person who is in a hurry in the morning? Get into the habit of applying cream in the evening before slipping under the sheets!
The right gesture:
With the Voluptuous Body Cream
- Apply the treatment to slightly damp skin to facilitate the penetration of the active ingredients.
- Take advantage of this moment to relieve tension points on your legs and facilitate venous return by using upward movements.
Audrey's plus: spring is also the ideal season to check your skin's needs and redo a facial diagnosis! Take advantage of it, it's free at every point of sale!

Protection, the beauty shield
Spring and its terraces, picnics, days in the park... Skin that hasn't seen the sun for several months needs to be protected more than ever! Otherwise, beware of sunburn and premature aging!
The right frequency:
Every morning, from April to October for sunny cities. And from May to September for the others. Be careful, it's not because there is no sun... that UV rays don't strike. Any doubts?
Download the IOMA A MOI App and check the skin weather wherever you are!
The right gesture?
After your day cream, before foundation, apply Cell Protector , an SPF 50+ PA++++, anti UVA & UVB on the face. The youthfulness of your skin is preserved and does not suffer the harmful effects of UV rays. The tan is more gradual and also more benevolent!
Audrey's tip: after spending the winter with our gloves and fur-lined boots, our hands and feet need some attention before they can show themselves!
Step 1: exfoliation.
Step 2: application of Genius Balm , the all-in-one repairing, moisturizing and anti-blemish treatment.
Step 3: varnish to perfect this beauty of the ends.

Body tips from beauticians
Our trainer Aude asked these skin experts to share with us some of their secrets for a sublime body!
Adapting your beauty routine (Laetitia, Versailles)
- By varying the pleasures and using different products according to the needs of the body, a hand cream that is not too greasy but very moisturizing, a regenerating body cream, and a specific one for very rough areas such as elbows, knees and heels.
Drying your body (Nathalie, Limoux)
- By drying your skin well after showering to avoid dehydration and by applying a body treatment rich in pure shea butter for a bandage effect.
Limit baths (Morgane, Carcassonne)
- Especially baths and showers with water that is too hot because this accentuates the drying out of the skin.
Don't waste time (Marie, Metz)
- By applying your body care product immediately after showering because the skin pores are still open and the cream will penetrate better.
