My Filorga Favourites

Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts This is a really fantastic cleanser and doesn’t require any water. So if you suffer with sensitive skin, then this might be for you! To apply, all you need to do is put a small amount of product on a cotton disk and work it over your face. No rinsing necessary! Use another, clean cotton disk to remove any product that’s left over. You could also soak the cotton bud in Filorga’s Toning Lotion if you like that squeaky clean feeling. It leaves your face feeling moisturized straight after cleansing – which I like. It’s also great at removing makeup, but if you do heavily made up eyes, you may want to use an eye makeup remover beforehand, to ensure you get it all off. Filorga Cleanser With Cell Extracts combines cellular DNA precursors, collagen, elastin, omega 3 as well vitamins A, C and E. It’s designed to reconstruct the skin by focusing on the issues that cause your damage to cells and tissues in your face. Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts Much like the Filorga Cleanser with Cell Extracts, Filorga Eye Contour With Cell Extracts has been designed to protect the skin from aging and to target degenerative damage caused by the aging processes. Much…

Correct Wrinkles with Filorga Time Filler

There comes a time in every woman’s life when wrinkles become an issue. While I’m all for aging gracefully, the older I get, the more I worry about looking old. It’s funny, when you’re young you tend to think that you will look “good” forever, but sooner or later reality hits your perfect, wrinkle free face with a nasty slap of fine lines and crows feet! Aging is unavoidable, even for Snow White’s potion powered evil step mother. However, taking care of the skin you’re in and making sure that you use good quality products should be high on your list of priorities. While they may not eliminate wrinkles all together, there are creams out there that may help take years off your face. And thanks to constant new developments in Skincare and anti aging, we can thank technology for giving us access to these “magic potions”. French Skincare brand Filorga have released their latest anti aging cream called Time Filler. It’s made specifically for wrinkles and gives your skin “a Botox-like” effect that limits muscular contractions, helping to relax the muscles in your face. The formula contains a powerful peptide combined with NCTF® (Filorga’s mesotherapy complex that stimulates the…

Review: Filorga Lip-Structure

Filorga recently launched their new rock-star product, LIP-STRUCTURE and we got to test it out. Filogra, which is a French brand renowned for it’s medical and injectable expertise has created the first, complete anti-aging treatment for both the lips and the perioral (mouth) area. LIP-STRUCTURE is a dual serum that targets the various aging aspects of the lip and mouth. The white end of the product is a Lip Densifyer that contains a blend of emollients, combined with palm and rapeseed oil and sorbitol. It stimulates the collagen in the cells of the lips to enable healing and restorative action. The black end of the product is for use on the Peri-Oral-Zone (the mouth area) and contains Matrixyl Synthe 6, which is a powerful peptide that boosts the synthesis of six structural components of the skin that surrounds the lips, that restructures the skin and smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles. To use this product, first make sure your lips and mouth area are clean and makeup free. Start on the black end and using the applicator, apply the product around the mouth avoiding the lips. Then use the white end of the product on your lips, like you would lip gloss. You can apply the black zone over your day cream.…

Beauté Pacifique Dermascan & Creme Metamorphique Anti Wrinkle Creme Review

Do you know the condition of your skin? Check this out! Danish brand, Beauté Pacifique have developed a system that actually scans your skin, the same way an ultrasound scans pregnant women. The scan tells you how much collagen and new cells your skin has, which helps the Beauté Pacifique therapist to fine tune your skincare, recommendations based on your skin’s current condition. I recently met with Beauté Pacifique’s National Sales manager, Eta for coffee at Gateway and got myself scanned. I must admit, I was shocked when she told me my skin wasn’t as great as I had thought. Every time I go for a facial I’m always told how good my skin is, but the Beauté Pacifique scan disagrees. From my scan Eta was able to determine that my skin is very thin and that is the primary reason for visible wrinkles. Not that I feel my wrinkles are that visible, but she suggests feeding the skin with more Vitamin A, so that they don’t get worse. I am after all, the big 30 and as anyone who’se hit this scary number knows, things always seem to go downhill from there. The top scan is of the skin on the…

Fab Find Friday: Garnier UltraLift Pro-X

Today I’m celebrating my 28th Birthday, and while it should be all about cake and presents, I am noticing the signs of aging more and more, as they sneak their way onto my face. While I’ve always been a firm believer in a good skin care regime – my mom got me started on a 3 step skincare routine from about 13 – running away from fine lines and wrinkles seems to be an inevitable escape, especially now. One thing I have noticed is the lines on my forehead seem to be getting more and more defined every year. So, when I discovered this nifty little roll-on genius from Garnier, I was curious, interested and hopeful. Garnier Skin Naturals UltraLift Pro-X is a lifting, anti-wrinkle roll-on, that is said to plump up even deep wrinkles. It also stimulates and tones your skin, making it feel fresh and young. While I’ve only been using it for about two weeks, It seems to be working. Or at least my wishfull thinking is paying off – either way the lines are fuller and less defined. Besides that I love how it feels on my face. It’s almost the same feeling your body gets…
