Spring Splurge

Emerge from your winter hibernation looking your best with the latest and most luxurious.

Open Your Eyes
Why are our eyes the first to show our age?

Well, perhaps because the eye area has one of the body’s largest supply of nerves, and this over-innervation can increase sensitivity. not only does the eye area have the thinnest layer of skin on the face, but it also exerts pressure as we blink around 10,000 times per day.

Furthermore, when even the slightest fatigue, dark circles and puffiness appear, the skin loses firmness, wrinkles deepen and eyebrows sink. This all leaves the eyes looking heavier, sadder, smaller and less radiant.

Halt these signs of aging with this eye serum featuring 94 per cent, naturally derived ingredients and the new BlackBee repair technology. It combines the very best in hive products, including Oeussant Island honey and royal jelly, which target skin and nerve-cell damage caused by stress and the environment—naturally-derived tensing polymers that form a flexible tightening mesh to lift the eyes from eyelash to eyebrow, and micro-pearlescents to ensure perfect light reflection.

Guerlain Abeille Royale Eye R Repair Serum, 20ml | $155

The new hybrid Gold Drop applicator delivers the precise dose of serum and, when applied following the exclusive and precise massage technique, the skin is left stronger and firmer. signs of fatigue, puffiness and circles are minimized and eyes look wider and more radiant.

Don’t Skimp
Lotions are the prelude to every beauty ritual and are fundamental for radiant skin. They finalize the cleansing ritual and prepare the skin to receive the next products. This lotion contains botanical alfalfa concentrate and a magnetic water complex to deliver deep hydration within the skin and provide anti-aging effects.

Chanel Le Lift Lotion, 150ml | $100

The magnetic water complex acts like a magnet to attract, bind and retain water molecules for intense, long-lasting epidermal hydration. Alfalfa seeds, which are rich in minerals, trace elements, vitamins and amino acids, are extracted for their high-performance, smoothing and firming active ingredients. Gentle on the skin, its action is similar to that of retinol, and it also stimulates the production of Type I collagen.

The lotion has a new, denser, jelly-like texture that transforms into a water-on application. It absorbs instantly, with immediate tensing, plumping, luminizing and pore-minimizing effect. The skin appears plumped and stays hydrated for eight hours. smoother and firmer, it is better prepared to face daily aggressors.

The Gold Standard
A recent study replicated the effects of a typically busy week to examine the impact on the skin of a panel of women. results showed that fatigue built up over time. Further studies demonstrated that skin began to take on a yellowish cast, typically around Day 3 of the experiment. signs of aging intensified toward the end of the week.

Clé de Peau Beauté Precious Gold Vitality Mask, 75ml | $395

This antioxidant-rich mask is designed to counteract daily cumulative aging by leveraging 24k gold infusion, gardenia and ginseng extract. It helps to prevent skin oxidation, which may lead to aging factors, such as wrinkles and sagging, The skin appears visibly firmer, lifted and radiant with just one use.

The rinse-off formula comes with a velvet-soft and uniquely designed application brush. Its off-centre tip ensures effortless application. The gently curved shape smooths the mask thoroughly and evenly around the nose and over natural contours of the face.

Powershot 2.0
The original version of this anti-aging serum was launched 15 years ago. Featuring Idebenone, a super anti-oxidant that is more powerful than alpha lipoid acid, vitamin C, vitamin e and coenzyme Q10, it became a perennial favourite all over the world and accumulated more than 220 beauty awards. now, 15 years later, a new version with four times the antioxidant power, will be launched.

Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE Anti-Aging Daily Serum 2.0. 50ml | $215

The prevage Anti-Aging Daily serum 2.0 is now boosted with the addition of 10 powerful ingredients to protect, correct and perfect the skin. The new formula is also backed up with new studies. In just two weeks, more than 90 per cent of the subjects saw more youthfullooking skin, more radiance and skin texture more refined. With continued use, 100 per cent experienced a clinical improvement on radiance, clarity, texture, photo damage, skin tone and overall look of skin.

Rejuvenating  Ritual
As we age, the skin’s cellular activities slow down, including essential cells that produce fewer new skin cells and the structural architecture in all layers of the skin that provide the skin with mechanical strength, firmness, elasticity and volume, leading to a loss of skin tissue.

La Prairie Platinum Rare Haute-Rejuvenation Protocol, 3 vials with 8ml each | $2,560

To help counteract this age-induced loss, this rejuvenation ritual takes a three-faceted approach. First, the formula temporarily softens the skin barrier to allow better penetration of the active ingredients. next, skin cells are reanimated so they resume their full renewal and regeneration. Third, as an outcome, skin appears rejuvenated due to the creation of new tissue.

The course consists of three 10-day vials and an activator—to be used as a month-long intensive treatment four times a year—allowing the skin to rebalance between each use. each vial is composed of two chambers to protect the integrity of two separated formulas, which is activated by a signature platinum catalyst.
