YSL B Beaute’s International Scientific Communication Mana Manager tells us why the brand’s new Intensive Mask and S Serum Foundation in the Youth Liberator series is an important next step forward
Whic Which is your favourite produ product in the Youth Liber Liberator line and why?
The serum. se I use it every day and I lo love its skincare efficacy and ult ultra-sensorial texture.
Why are the Intensive Mask and S Serum Foundation next i in line in your Youth Liberator series?
Our Glycanactif complex in the series recreates glycans that are lost w with age and promotes the synthesis of new skin glycans and boosts the skin mechanisms for regene regeneration. Women using Foreve Forever Youth Liberator asked for a mask to complete their beauty routin routine, so we developed the mask to t offer them an immediate flash of o youth. As for the Serum Found Foundation, we wanted to take up the challenge ch of integrating the Glycan complex into a foundation base formula. It took us almost 30 months to do so.
How is this catered to Asian skin? Do you think it works differently on Western and Asian skin?
Some of our products have been tailored specif ically for Asian women. The action on the skin is the same but its texture has been adapted to the needs of Asian women.
How long do you recommend using the Mask/Serum Foundation in order to see results?
Results can be seen after the first application. The Mask gives an immediate flash of youth—in just five minutes—while the Serum Foundation unifies the complexion and lifts skin instantly. After the first month of usage, fine lines are less visible and skin is plumper.
DECADENT DUO
Treat yourself to some of the world’s best luxuries with La Prairie. Fir st, drench your body in the gorgeous Soufflé Body Cream laden with willow bark extracts and caffeine to improve micro-stimulation and to firm skin. Then layer on the Sleep Mask, a multi-tasking formula which hydrates the skin and reverses damage from the sun while you snooze. Its caviar extract duly plumps and protects skin, while the sunflower seed oils drive moisture into the cells. Use one to three times a week.
