With winter months upon us – yes, unfortunately, summer is a distant memory now! – Aesthetics Lab chooses their favourite products from the French brand, Biologique Recherché that will keep your skin well balanced and hydrated despite cold weather and frequent exposure to heating.
Cleanser
Choose a cleanser that is not too harsh on the skin and doesn’t strip it of moisture , yet removes make up and excess oil efficiently.
LAIT U
The Lait U is a botanical milk wash which cleanses the skin of makeup, impurities and oil without causing any dehydration. This formulation has a fresh and luxurious texture that is easily absorbed without leaving an oily film, and allows your skin to breathe. Containing hazelnut oil, this cleaning milk will not only hydrate but also remove all surface oils thanks to its natural astringent properties. More than just a cleanser, this milk is a moisturiser that respects the skin’s hydro-lipidic film.
Actions:
• Gently removes makeup and impurities.
• Cleanses without dehydrating.
• Respects the functions of the epidermis.
• Removes excess surface oil.
• Does not leave an oily film on the skin.
Lotion
Many cosmeceutical ranges have removed the toning step from the cleansing routine, but we personally love applying a toner after cleansing. Biologique Recherché’s P50 lotions takes toning step a step further!
LOTION P50, P50V and P50W
The P50, P50V and P50W balancing exfoliators are the unique fruit of 30 years of reflection and experience. P50 balancing exfoliators speed up the epidermis’ natural exfoliating process and the reconstruction of the epidermal shield. The fortified epidermis can then fulfil its protective functions completely, enhancing the skin’s self-regeneration potential.
The P50 ritual is a key stage in all Biologique Recherche skin care programmes; it exfoliates, purifies, cleanses and regenerates.
The Lotion P50 is the formula of the multifunction lotion in its purest form. It contains Thyme essential oil and myrrh, which have purifying, toning, and antiseptic properties. It penetrates the epidermis quickly and efficiently.
Actions:
• Removes dead cells and impurities on a daily basis.
• Improves the strength and quality of the epidermis.
• Enhances epidermal renewal.
• Helps to purify and regulate sebum secretion.
• Hydrates the top layers of the epidermis due to its keratolytic action.
• Balances the surface pH of the skin.
• Improves the efficacy of the other Biologique Recherche products used after it.
Mask
Using a mask at home is like having a mini facial in the comfort of your bedroom. A good mask will leave your skin brighter, fresher and smoother.
MASQUE COLLAGÈNE CAVIAR
The Masque Collagen Caviar is a Fiber Veil packed with nutritious extract of Collagen and regenerating extract of Caviar. Formulated for skins with open pores, which are devitalised, dehydrated and less toned; this sublimating masque heals, regenerates and protects with delicacy. An intensely luxurious treatment catering to demanding skins offering the secret to beauty and youth.
