Prep Your Skin For Spring

Prep Your Skin For Spring

Welcome to the issue where we will be discussing the best tips for prepping your skin for Spring! Yes, Spring! Already!

The days of sun are nearly upon us, rejoice!!!

Oh… wait, I forgot, we live in England, probably not! But do not despair! Just because we won’t have sun all day every day, doesn’t mean that Spring is not fast approaching! Now the question is, how do we prepare our skin for this? Now that, I can help you with!

Step 1) Exfoliate

This is probably the most vital step of all when Spring is coming. This is because we need to be getting rid of all the built-up dead skin cells that make up that thick winter skin.

It is so important to exfoliate to achieve a healthy and glowing skin because, as we know, with cold air, also comes … dry, flaky skin!

Exfoliation will ensure a more even and smoother skin tone and will also boost your radiance after having been covered by dark or dry flaky patches this winter.

So, how do we remove those dead skin cells that have been accumulating on our bodies all winter!? Lotion P50 of course!

Depending on your Skin Instant®, the right Lotion P50 will remove the layer of dead skin cells, balance the PH of your skin and leave your skin brighter, energised and renewed. Exactly what we need for prepping our skin!

Let’s start with our most gentle of the Lotion P50 range:

LOTION P50W

Skin Instants®: Thin and/or Reactive to Normal

This is our gentlest exfoliator, infused with Arnica, it soothes and protects the skin whilst it slowly penetrates the skin to remove dead cells and impurities. It then strengthens the skin through enhancing skin cell renewal.

The skin’s PH is balanced, and excess oils are kept at bay thanks to its oil regulating properties! Packed with powerful Hydroxy Acids and exfoliants including Lactic and Salicylic Acid, this lotion will chemically remove dead skin cells so you can kiss goodbye to that winter skin!

How To Use: For the first two weeks of use, apply a few drops of Lotion P50W to dampened cotton pads with cold water, and press and release, patting the product all over face, neck and décolleté, morning and evening. Please do not rub and only pass over each area once. After two weeks of use, if the skin is not sensitive to the product, switch to dry cotton pads.
 

Next, we have our slightly stronger Lotion P50:

LOTION P50V

Skin Instants®: Devitalised and/or Less Toned

The Lotion P50V is our medium strength formulation. It is formulated for a stronger skin, one that needs a more powerful exfoliation, or a more mature skin instant.

The Lotion P50V works in the same way as the Lotion P50W, however it has the added minerals and vitamins required for a stronger Skin Instants® such as Magnesium and Vitamin B3. These agents also help to purify and regulate oil levels in the skin.

How To Use: For the first two weeks of use, apply a few drops to dampened cotton pads with cold water, and press and release, patting the product all over face, neck and décolleté, morning and evening. Please do not rub and only pass over each area once. After two weeks of use, if the skin is not sensitive to the product, switch to dry cotton pads.

Now that we have appropriately removed the dead skin, it’s time to give it some glow!

Step 2) Brighten

So, after we have removed that thick, dull winter skin, it’s now time to brighten it and bring back that radiance! The most effective way of doing this is with powerful antioxidants. They protect your skin and enhance the skins surface capacity to ward off external aggressors. Free radicals can cause dehydration, accelerated skin ageing and even pigmentation problems.

Antioxidants will bring oxygenating hydration to the skin and ensure a supple and revitalised complexion. They also help to keep wrinkles and ageing at bay, along with helping the production of collagen which generally diminishes in change of weather.

Now which products do we use?

This product contains the highest number of antioxidants in any of the Biologique Recherche products:

SERUM 3R

Skin Instants®: Devitalised and/or Mature

Change of season can give us a dull and devitalised complexion. This wonder serum will completely regenerate the skin and remove dead skin cells to leave behind a refined and instantly hydrated complexion, the skin’s texture is refined and is instantly hydrated.

After we have exfoliated and brightened the skin, it’s time to concentrate on those peepers of yours!

Step 3) Add an eye cream to your skincare regime

As the sun is more prominent in the spring, (thankfully meaning brighter) we are more prone to squinting. This means we need to pay a little bit more attention to that area, thus stopping the fine lines and wrinkles that can form around the eyes.

CRÈME CONTOUR YEUX ET LÈVRES BIOFIXINE

All Skin Instants®. Ideal for Devitalised Skin Instants® Marked by the signs of ageing.
