Express Solution
We bet on Italian helichrysum for its micro-circulatory properties. Add 1 drop of essential oil to your moisturizer. Warning: it is not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in case of anticoagulant treatment. In this case we will opt for the hydrosol of helichrysum, to spray on the cheeks instead of its tonic.
