Tahiti's Anti-Aging Secrets

Tahitian women are a sight to behold. Their luscious lips, thick hair, glowing skin, and petite bodies have graced the pages of magazines like Vogue, Elle, and GQ.
This is likely because of their environment and the amazing beauty products they have right in their backyard. These well-kept Tahitian beauty secrets have now finally been revealed after decades of research.
For centuries, Tahitian women have used what they found in nature for their beauty treatments.
One major anti-aging secret of the Tahitian women is monoi oil. It is made when soaking the petals of Tahitian gardenias in a rich base of coconut oil. This deep moisturizer comes in to save damaged skin on an island with blaring sun rays.
Many Tahitian women produce the oil by themselves. They allow the fresh coconut oil to fill up the Tiare flower before adding turmeric or fresh vanilla grown on the island, depending on their perference.
Monoi oil is truly amazing for all your health needs
Monoi oil is not just used for the skin; it is a cure-all beauty tonic that Tahitians use for their skin and hair to prevent and erase sunburns, mosquito bites, stretch marks, and hyper pigmentation. Monoi oil is also rich in in methyl salicylate, an anti-inflammatory that relieves pain.
Another anti-aging secret of Tahitian women is their dedication to staying in shape.
You will hardly find Tahitian women on treadmills or cycles. However, they love their native dances that will put them in shape. For example, they dance the otea, a Beyonce-level hip-shaking dance that requires the movement of the hip to the rapid beating of drums while the upper part of the body remains stationary. Although classes are only available in major cities, dance is a great way to stay in shape and reduce inflammatory damage.
Yet another anti-aging secret of the Tahitian women is their love for massage.
Even before people started receiving spa treatments, Tahitians used massage to detox the body and treat depression and tension. They referr to this as taurumi. This massage is focused on the release of toxins by activating energy lines through the body. They also focus on the nini, or top of the head, which they consider the soul's entry point.
They are highly dedicated to this. This process is viewed as a spiritual exchange between the person giving the massage and the massaged person. The science is now clear, massage helps reduce stress factors in the body, responsible for rapid aging and skin damage.
Their biggest secret is anti-aging algae's that almost magically reduce the appearance of fine lines.
For centuries, Tahitian women have been using the abundant algae in the warm tidal pools for skin hydration. These truly exceptional algae are rare and treatments with them are very expensive.
That's why the Brilliant Remedies team created our Tahitan Magic Island Moisturizer.
Our near magic formula includes rare Tahitian algae that plumps and hydrates skin, for an almost instant younger look. The best news is our formula is available for a fraction of the price of Tahitian spa treatments.
