Does NUXE Huile Prodigieuse help you tan?
No. NUXE Huile Prodigieuse is not a tanning oil. It’s a multi-purpose dry oil designed to nourish, soften and enhance the skin and hair, but it contains no self-tanning agents or sun-activated ingredients.
Some versions, such as Huile Prodigieuse Or, do provide a sun-kissed glow thanks to golden shimmer particles, giving the appearance of radiant, luminous skin—but this is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect skin pigmentation.
If you're looking to develop a tan, it’s best to use a self-tanner or a tan-activating product, always combined with appropriate SPF protection during sun exposure.
Is NUXE Huile Prodigieuse good for the hair?
Yes. This oil is ideal for nourishing and protecting hair, thanks to its unique blend of precious botanical oils such as macadamia, argan, camellia, tsubaki, sweet almond, hazelnut and borage. It helps leave hair softer, shinier and more supple, without making it heavy or greasy. It also offers light protection against environmental aggressors.
Can I apply it after washing my hair?
Absolutely. After washing, you can apply a small amount to damp or dry hair, focusing on the lengths and ends. It helps detangle, protect and add shine without weighing hair down. For a more intensive treatment, you can also use it as a pre-shampoo mask, leaving it on for about 10 minutes before washing out.
How should I use NUXE Huile Prodigieuse on the face?
Use one pump of oil, warm it between your hands, then gently smooth over the face, working from the centre outward. You can apply it alone or mix a few drops with your usual moisturiser for added comfort. It also works beautifully on men’s beards, helping to soften the hair and nourish the skin underneath.
Can I wear makeup after applying NUXE Huile Prodigieuse?
Yes. Thanks to its dry-touch texture, it absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue, making it an excellent makeup base. It hydrates and enhances your skin’s glow, helping makeup last longer and look more luminous. For combination or oily skin, wait a few moments to let the oil fully absorb before applying foundation.
How should I apply NUXE Huile Prodigieuse on the body and hair?
For the body, apply with gentle circular motions, focusing on dry areas such as elbows, knees or stretch mark-prone zones. Applying it to slightly damp skin after a shower can enhance absorption.
For the hair, spray one to two pumps into your palms and distribute through mid-lengths and ends. For a deep treatment, use as a pre-wash mask, letting it sit for 10–15 minutes before shampooing to restore softness and shine.
