If your skin is looking a little dull and in need of a refreshing radiance boost for the year ahead, the new Thalgo Spiruline Boost collection may be the perfect revitalisi­ng detox you need.

“AS WE AGE, REGENERATI­ON OF SKIN CELLS STARTS TO SLOW DOWN.”

Stress is a common part of life, although for many of us the stress level has been turned up a dial or two recently. Combined with some less than healthy lifestyle choices – like lack of sleep, eating on the go, poor nutrition and hydration – plus exposure to UV and pollution, it’s no surprise that skin can look more drab than glowing at this time of year.

Unhealthy lifestyle choices, combined with environmen­tal pollution and stress, expose the skin to high levels of oxidative stress. This overexposu­re to free radicals and toxins saturates the antioxidan­t systems and brings about cellular and physical fatigue.

As we age, regenerati­on of skin cells also starts to slow down. Less able to recover, the skin becomes less resistant and the signs of fatigue set in, including an uneven complexion, drawn features and tired eyes. A skin detox is about using ingredient­s that can support the skin’s natural function. It’s also about having a kinder, more realistic and holistic approach to nutrition, sleep, meditation and watching our intake of alcohol, sugar and caffeine. The recently launched Thalgo Spiruline Boost collection is the ultimate boost for the skin, containing energising Spirulina that is enhanced with marine magnesium.

Marine magnesium is obtained by concentrat­ing sea water (up to 100 times more concentrat­ed), in its most bioavailab­le form, which has a soothing and tension-relieving effect on the skin’s features to help reduce signs of fatigue and skin stress. The collection also contains a powerful extract of energising Spirulina, which is obtained through fermentati­on to capture the active nutrients and ensure high bioavailab­ility. With higher levels of hydrolysed proteins and sugars – nutrients that boost the cell and energy metabolism – the energising Spirulina optimises epidermal renewal and structure, reducing the signs of skin ageing and the impact of stress.

The Thalgo Spiruline Boost Detox Program is a 3-step program featuring a treatment, a 7-day ‘Inner & Outer’ booster program and 28-day daily home-care program.

• The Smoothing Detoxifyin­g Facial features an alginate peel-off mask that has been clinically tested to reduce polluting particles by 69.5%.

• The 7-Day ‘Inner & Outer’ detox program is a daily dose of topical applicatio­n using the Energising Booster Concentrat­e together with the Energising Detox Shot drink containing organic Spirulina and Chlorella boosted with Marine Magnesium and Vitamin C.

• The 28-day home-care program features a serum, a gel-cream and an eye gel.
