Monoi de Tahiti-
Mix naturally refined coconut oil and the tiare, or Tahitian gardenia, flower, and you get one heavenly scented, centuries- old Polynesian beauty ritual. This super light oil absorbs quickly into the skin and hair rendering them shiny and GOR-GEOUS! Pour just a cap full of Monoi oil into your both and soak up super soft skin year 'round.
I love to use a handful of oil on the ends of my long hair- wrap my hair in a warm wet towel, let soak for 10-15 minutes and wash out for super shiny hair worthy of a Paul Gaugin Tahitian goddess.
Want more? Use it on your hands & feet for healthy cuticles and nails, Monoi is also an excellent post-shaving treatment for shiny sexy gams, and I hear that it is an excellent excema treatment. f
Jiffy fact: Monoi oil solidifies at XX degrees F, but no worries, just place the container in warm water, and it will return to its original liquid state- but, please do not microwave the Monoi!
Original Tahitian Monoi Tiare formulas may be found at www.monoi.com or www.tahiti-iti.com for arouond $8 for xx ounces.
