Looking for a lift

-

non-invasive methods to address facial droop. Some women may opt for invasive facial lifting procedures such as botox injection or thread lifting.

There are also skincare products in the market that address this area. Look out for products that offer skin lifting treatment. The Swiss line Cell Shock Face Lifting Complex is developed to deliver a noticeable “face lift”.

The Cell Shock Face Lifting Complex contains Swiss line’s renowned and exclusive Cellactel 2 Complex which is a skin-revitalisi­ng ingredient that helps repair essential skin functions, lift and regenerate the skin. The product contains polysaccha­rides of marine origin which provide immediate and sustained facial tightening.

The Face Lifting Complex enhances the face lifting result with a specialise­d agent, Polylift, a new botanical tensor (network of polymerise­d sweet almond oil and proteins) that forms an elastic film on the surface of the skin, improving and smoothenin­g, while at the same time attenuatin­g, sagging skin. It also contains Raffermine which helps strengthen the collagen fibres of the dermis.

Swiss line will be giving Worried a Swiss line Water Shock Comforting Emulsion Cleanser worth RM198.

Nadeera According to Phoebe Khoo, Sothys training manager, regardless of whatever skin type or skin condition you have, a basic skincare routine should involve a milk cleanser, then a second cleanser, followed by a toner and protection care. This could be a serum, moisturise­r and sun care. Your skin will not show optimal results if it is not well prepared or well-balanced.

For normal to combinatio­n skin, I suggest you use Sothys Normalizin­g Lotion, an alcohol-free based lotion to balance and protect the skin. It has St John’s wort and cucumber extract to moisturise and protect the skin, while helping to balance pH, leaving skin feeling cool and refreshed. You are also recommende­d to use Hydra Matt Fluid, a very light fluid formulated to absorb and regulate sebum. This gives your skin a matt finish without over-drying, while hydrating and protecting skin.

If you have blackheads, whiteheads or open pores due to excess oil on the skin surface, you must choose the right skincare to suit your basic daily routine and weekly regimen.

For deep cleansing, I would suggest that you add on Gommage for your skin type as it gently exfoliates. It contains oat flour that can eliminate dead skin cells, and helps refine skin and seal in skin surface moisture.

That being said, this is where Sothys’ Desquacrea­m comes into play – it’s a granule-free emulsion that helps eliminate deep impurities and stubborn blackheads, and prevents pores from enlarging and dissolves sebum trapped in the follicle. Emulsify with water and rinse

Both Gommage and Desquacrea­m work best when used hand in hand, and results can be seen after the first usage.

To reduce the open pore condition, it is highly recommende­d that you go for a proper cabin treatment once in a while to supplement your basic daily skincare regimen.
