Far from the commercial offerings that are all too prevalent during Valentine's Day, and which make this holiday lose its true values (love, generosity, sharing, commitment, joy...), Oceau Marine is looking for simplicity.
We invite you to return to a more natural, gentler way of celebrating love (for yourself, but also for others...) at its most beautiful!
“Skin is the mirror of the soul”, and indeed, skin is the reflection of our psychological well-being.
It is often directly impacted by our emotional state, but remember that these interactions don't just go in one direction: doing good for your skin can also do good for your mind.
Taking care of your skin helps you to relax, to calm your mental ruminations. It's a good way to reclaim your body, to take time for yourself, and why not for someone else too!
The skin is an “organ of sensations”, and massages and strokes are a great source of pleasure, which Oceau Marine suggests you practice every day as part of your skincare routine.
Skin care allows you to reconnect with yourself or others while doing yourself good...
How will you take care of yourself and/or your partner this Valentine's Day?
The skin, a sensory organ!
The surface of the skin is studded with millions of sensory sensors that interact every second with our environment, physical contact or even the chemical compounds in the products we use...
When we touch the skin's surface, and depending on the sensitivity of the area, we activate highly complex internal physiological and sensory processes.
Stimuli generate nerve flows directly transmitted to the brain, which responds by modifying the skin's appearance (redness, goose bumps), providing sensations (muscular and nervous relaxation), emotions (mental appeasement) while releasing certain hormones with analgesic and relaxing properties (the main feel-good hormones are endorphin, serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine).
That's why massage is so pleasurable and significantly reduces states of stress and anxiety.
Touch the skin!
While its extensive surface area makes it an effective protective barrier that needs to be pampered (Oceau Marine skincare products help you keep it in tip-top shape, thanks to isotonic seawater in particular!
to internal stimuli (nutrition, hormonal changes, hydration, body temperature...) or external stimuli (like touch!).
Touch is a form of non-verbal communication that tells us a great deal about the affection we feel for ourselves or our partner.
By touching another's skin, we connect with them.
When you give your partner a massage, it's an excellent way of keeping the flame alive, showing that you care for them by giving them your time and well-being.
Nor should we overlook the comforting power of a self-massage!
Certain massage techniques help to relax the body and optimize the effects of the treatments received.
As part of your skincare routine, for example, you can perform a particularly rejuvenating facial massage.
I invite you to learn more about this technique here (free registration is all you need to get your guide):

In this way, you'll become more aware of your body, tame it better and have a lot of fun too!
Isotonic seawater, a love elixir for your skin
Isotonic seawater is our expertise!
It acts directly at the heart of skin cells to recharge the body with minerals, soothe feelings of dryness and protect the skin.
Thanks to its high mineral content and the fact that it is directly bio-assimilable by the body, isotonic seawater is your ally for an ideal electrolyte balance!
Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium...), which play a crucial role in maintaining skin hydration, pH and cellular functions.
When your cells are perfectly balanced, your skin is healthier and better protected, skin regeneration takes place more easily, and the level of elasticity helps prevent irritation and the formation of wrinkles.
Natural active ingredients specially selected to do you good!
Muscular relaxation can be all the greater depending on the active ingredients selected: Oceau Marine combines isotonic seawater with natural active ingredients to optimize the benefits of your treatments.
Oceau Marine recommends two treatments in particular, which can be used to massage your partner or for self-massage.
- Isotonic Relief is a relaxing, soothing cream with seawater and St. John's Wort.
St. John's Wort is an herb with exceptional properties: it helps the skin heal better, relieves inflammation and provides a soothing sensation.
For an assured relaxing effect, Oceau Marine recommends gentle massages on the solar plexus, nape of the neck, soles of the feet and around the joints.
- For active, sporty people, Sports Cream is the perfect treatment!
Your cream is designed to warm and soften muscles before or after exercise, to combat aches and pains associated with muscle stiffness and soreness.
Its active ingredients (seawater, arnica, St John's wort, thyme) work in symbiosis to regulate and restore the body to normal after a sports session.
Its repairing and healing properties make it an ally for your skin, whether you're working out alone or with a partner!
How will you pamper your skin this Valentine's Day?
