Luce's love potion

The recipe for an invigorating massage oil

With only 2 ingredients to ignite the senses and pleasure:

  • 10 g of fresh cayenne peppers
  • 50ml vegetable oil such as coconut, olive or sunflower
  • Put the peppers and the oil in a pan in a bain-marie
  • Heat everything over low heat then leave to infuse for 1 hour and cool
  • Strain the peppers and bottle your massage oil in a clean bottle.

Luce's tip: this massage oil can also be used in case of muscle pain since cayenne pepper has a warming effect.

Amazing herbs and spices

Many plants and spices have been associated for thousands of years with the power of love.

Tip from Luce: to perfect the relaxation, also discover our infusion with flowers from the Alps which contains lavender.

Relax your body and mind in a floral bath! In addition to awakening the senses, rose water is recognized for its de-stressing, revitalizing and protective effect on the epidermis.

3 long inspirations and expirations will be enough to make you feel total well-being.

Prepare the mixture in a bottle, according to the recipe below:

  • 125 ml of rose water, ideally Damascus rose which offers a powerful and flowery scent

There's nothing better to warm your heart and mind than a delicious dark chocolate dessert. Indeed, it contains the pleasure hormone, called phenylethylamine , and magnesium, which facilitates blood circulation.

Cinnamon has anti-inflammatory properties and helps relax muscles. Its recognizable aroma among a thousand is also recognized for its positive action on the libido.
