Dior Prestige La Crème

La Crème Dior Prestige.jpg

Boasting eight molecules with strong regenerative powers, the rose de Granville is at the heart of La Crème Dior Prestige, precious skincare for rose petal-smooth skin glowing with youth.

On the cliffs of Granville, not far from Christian Dior’s childhood garden, the Dior scientific researchers discovered a wild rose, capable of resisting the harsh maritime climate. Carefully bred in order to heighten its vitality, the result is a rose possessing exceptional powers, the rose de Granville. Cultivated according to the principles of organic agriculture in a Dior garden, it can only be harvested twice per year. It would take fifteen years of research before the Dior scientists could capture the unique molecules that give the rose de Granville its extraordinary life force.

La Crème Dior Prestige OpenNow they are to be found concentrated in La Crème Dior Prestige. Into each skin layer they deliver regenerative powers more intense than ever to offer women the perfection of skin like a rose petal.

Dermalab Swiss Line Cell Shock White Diamond Bright Is The New White

48.jpg

The Swiss-born Swiss Line Cell Shock White collection has been delivering successful whitening skincare results since the debut of ‘no whiter white than Cell Shock White’ 7 years ago (year 2010). Not resting on its laurels, Swiss line has achieved a real breakthrough with the brilliant reformulation to the collection. The new Cell Shock White collection has advanced whitening to brightening and clarity. It has redefined beautiful skin as radiating an impeccable healthy glow, as precious as diamonds.

The new Swiss Line Cell Shock White collection has made gleamingly flawless complexion within reach with the support of Cellactel 2 White Complex (existing in the original Cell Shock White Collection), enhanced with state-of-the-art Diamond Clusters, Syn®-ake Peptide, Spot-off Complex and HD-White Complex.

Diamonds are converted because of their extraordinary optical properties. When applied to the skin’s surface, diamonds have the ability to alter the quality of light reflection from the skin for an immaculate finish. Swiss Line has envisioned and realised the unique technology to disperse micronized real diamonds onto skin. The diamonds are suspended and trapped in micro-capsules using the interaction of two marine polymers. Once the Diamond Clusters touch the skin, they are evenly dispersed, effectuating an immediate and unblemished skin brightening.

Swiss line Cell Shock White Diamond Bright Range 250 dpi

Syn®-ake Peptide is an award-winning peptide that delivers a non-invasive plumping effect. The muscle-relaxant action of the peptide smoothens expression lines. A smoothen skin surface also supports the diamond dispersion.

The Spot-Off Complex boasts a ‘dissolving’ action that goes beyond melanin-inhibiting active ingredients. It tackles age spots and UV-induced spots by preventing and regulating the formations, rather than just superficial whitening. The active substances in the complex include the Swiss-origin garden cress sprout extract.

The HD-White Complex consists of powerful whitening ingredients and antioxidants that produce a visible brightening effect. Powerful arbutin, glutathoine and ascorbic acid are innovatively delivered via a liposomal complex – that preserves the integrity of the precious ingredients with a targeted, fast-penetration delivery system.

The Cellactel 2 White Complex contains the same cellular nutrients as Swiss Line’s renowned skin regenerator, Cellactel 2 Complex – a medical-grade active that lets skin cells breathe, metabolizes and increases collagen and elastin production. The Cellactel 2 White Complex delivers de-aging benefits with added whitening abilities.

* Diamond Clusters, Syn®-ake Peptide and Spot-off Complex are found in the Brightening Diamond Serum only.

Swiss line has formulated a comprehensive suite of products to turnaround skin with the new Cell Shock White collection: (1) Facial Cleansing Foam, (2) Facial Brightening Essence, (3) Brightening Diamond Serum, (4) Daytime Brightening-Power Emulsion, (5) Brightening Bi-Phase Veil SPF 35 PA++., (6) Invisible Bi-Phase Veil SPF 50 PA++., (7) Overnight Brightening-Power Cream, (8) Facial Brightening Mask. Lets have a look:

Swiss Line Cell Shock White Facial Cleansing Foam

swiss-line-cell-shock-white-facial-cleansing-foam.jpg

The Cell Shock White Facial Cleansing Foam removes all pollution and make-up residues, imparts freshness, and leaves the face clan and bright white also guaranteeing a progressively more even and refined complexion. The balmy-gel texture of the Facial Cleansing Foam surprisingly houses quartz silica which performs a very skin-friendly, yet cumulative micro exfoliation.

 

Swiss Line Cell Shock White Facial Brightening Essence

Swiss line Cell Shock White Facial Brightening-Essence

The Cell Shock White Facial Brightening Essence gives a bright splash of energetic coolness brought about by exfoliating agents housed in a gel-in-essence formula. It’s so much more than a classic tonic-lotion, the sophisticated formula of this essence enhances the effectiveness of all other products that follow its application, while keeping natural exfoliation levels high and addressing signs of pigmentation and uneven texture.

 

Brightening Diamond Serum Brightening Diamond Serum

Swiss line Cell Shock White Diamond Bright Brightening Diamond Serum 300 dpi

As extravagant as applying diamonds on the skin, is the knowledge that the Brightening Diamond Serum brings about an unprecedented brightening, clarity and smoothness to the skin. Just like the famous quote saying ‘Diamonds are girl’s best friend’, this latest Swiss line Brightening Diamond Serum has become my new best friend already. It helped to brighten up my dark-tanned skin due to the hot sun of Copenhagen like the sun was just next to me, and smoothen my patchy, dry skin due to dry Autumn weather in Europe.

Swiss Line has doubled the action of the Brightening Diamond Serum with two transparent chambers of different and complementary serums in one bottle. Te two serums are fused when dispense, delivering active formula that tackles uneven complexion, dark spots, blemishes, and wrinkles.

AlumierMD Launches HydraClarite

 

50mlBottle_HydraClaritéRGB

AlumierMD is comprised of an internationally renowned team of scientists and physicians that have come together to bring forth the most effective formulations using optimal medical-grade ingredients. Products are formulated using only the highest grade of ingredients at the correct percentages proven by clinical studies.

Alumier means ‘to brighten’ and one great way to brighten skin is to make sure that it’s hydrated. Oily and acne-prone skin types often have trouble with this because – heavy – moisturizers can cause more breakouts, but many treatments for acne-prone skin can dry skin out. To help with that, AlumierMD has launched a new moisturizer called HydraClarite, specially formulated for oily skin. The lotion comes in a pump bottle and is light and refreshing but still takes care of any dryness for an extended period of time. Plus, it’s full of antioxidants like Resveratrol, and peptides that improve the appearance of skin.

Although it’s hydrating, it has a satin, shine-free finish and it absorbs quickly so you can put makeup on top. There’s no pilling or additional greasiness and you don’t even have to powder your face afterwards, which is perfect. Best of all, it really does take away that tight feeling your skin can get after too many glycolic acids or peels, so that your skin feels comfortable all day.

AlumierMD HydraClarite is availble in a 50ml bottle at at www.alumiermd.com.

For Very Sensitive Skin – Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm Cream & CC Cream

47.jpg

Skin being the largest organ in our body is naturally the frontline receptor of our being. External stimuli that touched our skin transmit sensations and at times leave marks on our skin. Revolutionizing the approach on squarely targeting the causes and signs of aging on our skin, Swiss line is taking another novel approach in their anti-aging science by counter-treating the skin’s sensitivity to reactions. Stinging, burning, redness or tightening of the skin, these are the symptoms that most of us have experienced which affect the condition of our skin.

Skin sensitivity is no longer only a concern for people with a medical condition, or believed to be caused by products we come in contact with.  It is now seen to be the response of our skin to urban stress, a cause-effect symptom of being under attack from a harsher, ever-more polluted environment; a part of the zeitgeist. It seems people feel their skin is more sensitive and reactive as a result of the stress that modern living puts us under.

Custodio D’Avo, Swiss Line International Brand Director.

Swiss Line has responded to the skin’s demand of our era, by formulating two products that destress, soothe, calm, counter redness and protect sensitive skin, and eventually lead to the vitality of the skin. The result of Swiss Line’s ingenious approach is unveiled with the launch of the innovative dual cream for sensitive skin – the Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua-Calm Cream and the Force Vitale Aqua-Calm CC Cream SPF 30.

In fact, it’s definitely a heavenly-scent angel calming Aqua Calm Cream send to me recently that managed to soothe my skin soothingly and plump-up the wrinkles on my face and neck marvellously with daily use at night only.

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm Cream

Botanical soothers and anti-redness ingredients come together in this specially formulated face cream to create a nurturing velvety soft, cocoon-like texture. It is thé SOS rescue solution for reactive skin.

aqua-calm-cream.jpg

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua-Calm Cream contains Soothing Complex and Anti-Redness Complex, while bringing an improved barrier via functional ceramides to strengthen and improve the condition of fragile or stressed skin. Additionally it also incorporates the Force Vitale alpine plant extracts which deliver anti-oxidant and adaptive benefits.

The inclusion of aqua-green skin-friendly pigments in its formulation means that with each application, the skin will get a ‘no make-up make-up’ effect which can come close to a professional makeup result. The pigments create an optical correction of the redness without any masking residue; not a covering effect but rather a colour correction which makes redness less apparent.

How to use:

The Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm Cream can be applied in the morning and/or at night. Alone or after applying any Swiss Line serum. For sun protection ad enhanced complexion correction, apply the Force Vitale Aqua Calm CC Cream SPF30.

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm Cream comes in a 50ml jar.

 

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm CC Cream SPF30

As sensitive skin is more likely to react to damaging sun exposure, the Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua-Calm CC Cream SPF30 counter acts this sensitivity with the ultimate CC cream. ‘CC’ stands for ‘color control’, which functions to correct color imperfections, e.g. redness or uneven tone, through optical effects, and not by coverage.

Swissline_ForceVital-cc-cream_SPF30_1280x1280@2x

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua-Calm CC Cream SPF30 corrects, primes, protects, brightens, moisturizes, energizes and soothes the skin, while it prevents oxidation and refines the pores. It helps to fortify sensitized skin suffering from a damaged barrier, helping to shield the skin from the negative environmental and internal triggers that cause skin stress with an adapted sun filter with a high percentage of skin-friendly mineral titanium dioxide.

How to use:

The Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm CC Cream SPF30 can be used alone as a light day moisturizer, or applied after the Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm Cream SPF30, or after applying any Swiss Line serum. Apply with soft touches using fingertips, giving particular attention to redness areas. The CC Cream can also be used as a make-up base before foundation for those seeking additional coverage.

Swiss Line Force Vitale Aqua Calm CC Cream SPF30 comes is a 35ml tube.

Swiss line is founded by Prince Michael Massalsky in Switzerland more than 25 years ago. Extensive, ongoing research involving top Swiss skincare specialists leads to the advanced formulas based on botanical ingredients. Rigorous product development and formulation techniques guarantee that only those products delivering remarkable immediate and medium-term results carry the Swiss line name.

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge, a Holy Grail is born

Sisleya-L27Integral-Skincare-Banner-2Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge

People who know me, I Love Sisley! No girls! It’s not only for you….. Sisley Paris is a high-end cosmetic brand that I really love. If you take a look in my bathroom, you’ll find several products by Sisley Paris: Ecological Compound (balancing and restoring), Masque Hydra Flash (moisturising mask), my favorite suncare products (Super Soin Solaire Facial Sun Care SPF 15 and Super Soin Solaire Milky Body Mist Sun Care SPF 30) and Sisleÿa Anti-Aging Concentrate Firming Body Cream, which all leaves my skin soft and nourished.

After many very beautiful products, Sisley launched in 1999 Sisleÿa Global Anti-Âge, a product that reinforces the cell’s environment. It has taken 10 years of research, over 50 active ingredients and an ultra-innovative cosmetic concept to create this worldwide Holy Grail best-seller. ‘Till today…

Now in 2016, Sisleÿa Global Anti-Âge is reinventing itself to become Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge, which now includes a third dimension: it acts not only upon the visible signs of intrinsic and extrinsic ageing, but also on those linked to behavioural ageing. A major factor of aging is linked to personal lifestyle. Everyday stress, life’s hardships and various excesses deregulate the biological life cycle of cells. This behavioral dimension, the third dimension of aging, affects the face even more than genetic or environmental aging.

 

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge is a complete anti-aging product that takes into account genetic and environmental aging, as well as behavioral aging. The results are spectacular on wrinkles, firmness, radiance, density and hydration!

The new formula provides the cell with an ideal ‘ecosystem’ as it is enriched with new active ingredients which stimulate, regenerate and restructure the skin. A creamy texture enriched with intensive nourishing active ingredients, for dry to very dry skin. Naturally fragranced with essential oils of Lavender and Marjoram, they are to be applied morning and evening.

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Age crème

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge fights against the visible signs associated with the 3 types of aging to provide a truly complete anti-aging solution.

Active ingredients:

Among the many active ingredients added to the initial Sisleÿa formula, three major new active ingredients now optimise the functioning of this lifecycle to protect the skin from the visible signs of behavioural ageing. These active ingredients target the three parts of the cell’s lifecycle: the rhythm, energy and longevity of the cells, to help compensate for them being weakened.

  • Apple pip extracts (Phytostimulines and Ursolic Acid): regenerate and stimulate the skin
  • Rhatany extract and Lady’s Mantle extract: help to stimulate and smooth the skin texture
  • Cocktail of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids: to revitalize
  • White Willow leaf extract: antioxidant*, anti-collagenase* and anti-elastase*
  • Adenosine: anti-wrinkle
  • Lindera extract: cellular rhythm
  • Persian Acacia extract: cellular energy
  • Yeast and Soy protein complex: cellular longevity
  • Shea butter: protects and repairs
  • Glycerin of vegetable origin: hydrates and softens * In vitro test

 

How to use:

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge is a so called 24hour cream, for best results apply a thin layer Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge morning and evening to face and neck.

Tip: in summer you can combine it with your Sisley sun protecting cream in combination with serum. A vèry comfortable way to wear your cream in hot and or sticky weather.

Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge Extra-Rich is a very nourishing, complete anti-aging cream specially adapted for dry to very dry skin.

The results:

The results are spectacular on wrinkles, firmness, radiance, density and an immediate, intense and long-lasting hydration to preserve the skin’s youthful appearance and beauty.

From the first few applications, lines are smoothed, skin is plumped and durably moisturized. Signs of fatigue are reduced. After 4 weeks, wrinkles are visibly reduced, the face recovers the firmness, density and radiance of more youthful skin. After 8 weeks, the skin has a beautiful natural glow. It is restructured deep down, regenerated from the inside. Perceived aging has visibly diminished.

With products like Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge, you know why this is a Holy Grail brand! Like Clarins, that other French ‘plant based’ Maison, Sisley says:

We don’t promise miracles

We promise results

And that is what they do!

Clarins anti-ageing skincare duo – Multi-Active Day and Night Creams

2016_Multi_Active_Main_Model.jpg

Welcome to your 30s, an age where you’re probably feeling at you most confident, reaching new heights in your career, free of the insecurity of your 20s and … looking at ways to keep yourself looking as fresh-faced as you did when your age was a double digit starting with the number two. Those pesky fine lines – it’s a good thing they start appearing during a time in your life when you’re, rather conveniently, feeling the most comfortable in your own skin.

Clarins Multi-Active Jour & Nuit .jpg

30 Years after the original launch of the Multi-Active line, Clarins has reformulated the day and night cream duo with the addition of teasel extracts. Encapsulated to target fibroblasts in the skin, the teasel extract works as an antioxidant to combat free radicals that damage the fibroblasts. Additionally, Multi-Active Jour is formulated with myrothamnus plant extract which promises to absorb effects of daytime environmental stress while the Multi-Active Nuit is infused with golden poppy extract that claims to boost collagen production (reduces the appearance of fine lines).

Lack of sleep and stress are likely to blame for the changes you’ll be seeing on your face. The science behind it? Not enough zzzs and escalating life pressures lead to an overproduction of free radicals, which affect skin’s fibroblast, the key cells responsible for youthful skin. When a fibroblast becomes worn out, it no longer plays its part in maintaining the skin’s production of collagen, leading to fine lines and a dull complexion – the first visible signs of ageing.

Clarins Multi-Active Jour (Day Cream)

In an effort to counteract those effects, French skincare brand Clarins has launched its new Multi-Active Day and Night Creams – both of which harness the power of plants. Whether it’s the Teasel extract in both, which helps to revitalise and protect tired skin; the day cream’s use of myrothamnus, a flowering shrub indigenous to South Africa and Madagascar that can tolerate  – and flourish in –  extremely dry conditions; or the night cream’s California Poppy, a flower that regenerates itself at night.

Clarins Multi-Active-Day-All-Skin-Types-C050301007

Clarins Multi-Active Nuit (Night Cream)

In real life, this translates to day-to-night products effective in restoring skin’s brightness and plumping fine lines worsened by dehydration. As a Londoner, Clarins’ exclusive anti-pollution complex, designed to fight premature signs of ageing and loss of radiance linked to pollution, is also a big draw – they don’t call this city the Big Smoke for nothing and it often shows on my skin.

Clarins Multi-Active-Night-Normal-To-Dry-Skin-C050301011

On the downside, both the day and night creams are natural fragranced with cherry and white lily alongside jasmine, freesia and heliotrope, which reminds me of the flowers you smell in the hills above Cannes.

Having finished the Multi-Active Night and at almost finishing the Multi-Active Day, I have to say that I am overly impressed by both products. I’ve seen visible improvements in both skin texture and glow. My complexion just looks healthier and more glowy. The night cream, especially, makes my skin look super nourished and plump when I wake up in the morning.

Both, Multi-Active Jour & Nuit, come in different textures for different skintypes.
