3 STEPS FOR A BRIGHT FACE

Three steps for a bright face:

1: exfoliate the face with Sisley GENTLE FACIAL BUFFING CREAM Crème Gommante pour le visage Rich in exfoliating Bamboo micro-particles of natural origin, the Gentle Facial Buffing Cream sweeps away dead skin cells and impurities. This isn't one of those harsh scrubs that take a layer off. the creamy formula sets to a mask and you're advised to leave it on a while, I then add water and emulsify it so I feel the benefit of the scrubby beads to exfoliate and rinse off. It gently refines the skin texture thanks to the soothing properties of German Chamomile extract. The exfoliant increases the skin's receptiveness to other skin care products in the routine. It leaves your skin nice and smooth and it feels fresh and healthy. It buffs away every impurity and prepares the skin for the next products.

2. Mene & Moy (M&M Systems) Glycolic Acid Masque 10% stimulates and cleanses pores, tighten, tones and nourishes skin. Perfect for all skin types, it's specially indicated for acne and oily skin treatment. Deep cleansing, exfoliating facial mask containing 10% glycolic acid. pH 3.00. Frequent use provides an excellent defense against the elements which clog and block pores. Smooth a thin layer over the face,forehead and neck. Allow to dry for 2-5 mins and wash off with water and I usually add some drops of olive oil to cleanse and soften my face.

3:Bionike Defense B-Lucent Concentrated Anti-Spotting is an intensive treatment that favors the attenuation of brown spots and prevents their appearance, helping to make the complexion brighter and more uniform.it must be followed with the application of a moisturising cream that replenishes skin.

MY MASKS

The only masks that I like to wear this carnival are my skin masks.
Here are 6 masks that I'm using in this period:

 Le uniche maschere che mi va di indossare questo carnevale sono le mie maschere per la pelle.
 Ecco 6 maschere che sto usando in questo periodo:

AVENE:
Creamy, non-setting skincare mask provides intensive soothing care to dehydrated, overstressed skin.I use it mainly after glycolic acid treatment. The moisturizing elements of its formula help to restore the skin barrier and promote good skin hydration. Nourishing action thanks to the oil safflower. Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe and soften skin.
Lenitiva idratante indicata in caso di eritemi, pelle disidratata e sensibile, io la uso soprattutto dopo aver fatto un trattamento all'acido glicolico. Gli elementi idratanti della sua formula contribuiscono a ripristinare la barriera cutanea e favoriscono un'ottima idratazione della pelle. Azione nutritiva grazie all'olio di cartamo. L'acqua termale Avène è lenitiva e addolcente.

KIEHL'S:
Ultra Facial Masque instantly increase the skin's ability to absorb and retain water for prolonged hydration. Applied before going to bed, Ultra Overnight Facial Masque helps to restore the water reserves of the skin, allowing it to retain moisture and to function as a "water tower." The formula with glacial proteins pro-hydration and extracts of desert plants, helps  pull essential moisture into the skin to help improve skin's hydration level.
Ultra Facial Masque aumenta istantaneamente la capacità della pelle di assorbire e trattenere l'acqua per un'idratazione prolungata. Applicata prima di andare a letto, Ultra Facial Overnight Masque aiuta a ripristinare le riserve di acqua della pelle, permettendole di trattenere l'idratazione e di funzionare come "serbatoio d'acqua". La formula, con proteine glaciali pro-idratazione ed estratti di piante del deserto, aiuta a proteggere e rafforzare la barriera cutanea.

KARIN HERZOG:
2% oxygen, vitamin A and essential oils are the main ingredients of this facial mask moisturizes, it helps to reduce a tired, taut appearance  and it tones the skin. After applying the oxygen contained in the cream it spreads in the skin and stimulates cell activity and microcirculation. The skin thus appears brighter.
2% di ossigeno, vitamina A e oli essenziali sono gli ingredienti principali di questa maschera viso che idrata in profondità, combatte l'aspetto stanco e tonifica la pelle. Dopo l'applicazione l'ossigeno contenuto nella crema si diffonde nella pelle e stimola l'attività cellulare e il microcircolo. La pelle quindi appare più luminosa.

EISENBERG:
 enriched with Hyaluronic acid, quenches the skin whilst Red Algae balance its natural pH, eliminating toxins and soothing the complexion. The skin is instantly brighter and smoother, having regained its suppleness. An ocean-green gel that smoothes, detoxifies and soothes dehydrated skin. 
 Ricca in Acido Ialuronico, reidrata la pelle. Le sue Alghe Rosse equilibrano il pH, eliminano le tossine e leniscono. La pelle è immediatamente schiarita, morbida e liscia. Un gel verde che leviga, detossina e lenisce le pelli disidratate.

FILORGA:
Reoxygenating exfoliating mask. A dual-action exfoliating mask to reoxigenate and reveal new skin. Perlite spheres remove dead cells while an enzyme mimicking the embryo hatching process boosts exfoliation for a new-skin effect, when the scrub is completedthe texture will transform into an active mousse:NCTF boosts cell regeneration and micro-bubbles of oxygen are released to allow suffocated skin to breathe. Pores are tightened and skin texture is refined and smoothed. Reoxygenated, the skin glows with new-found radiance.
Maschera esfoliante riossigenante. Una maschera esfoliante a doppia azione  riossigena e rivela una nuova pelle. Sfere di perlite rimuovono le cellule morte,  il complesso di acido ialuronico e di NCTF® hanno un effetto rimpolpante – rivitalizzante – defaticante. Stendere uno strato consistente di prodotto sulla pelle asciutta evitando il contorno occhi e massaggiare con movimenti delicati e circolari per un minuto. Lasciar agire per l’effetto maschera. Si formeranno delle bollicine frizzanti a indicare la cattura dell’ossigeno. Dopo la scomparsa delle bollicine (10 minuti circa) risciacquare. I pori si chiudono e la grana della pelle diventa più compatta.

MY CLI- MENE&MOY (MAC PHARMA):

TESTED BY ME

My Cli:four products just tested.

OP BIOREPAIR PLUS: Cell protection from oxidative stress with Vitamin C and E
Food supplement of vitamins, ∂-lipoic acid, glutathione and cucumis melo extract. I am very excited about this supplement, I take one sachet a day as soon as I awake for 28 days at each change of season. OP Biorepair plus can be particularly useful to prepare sun exposure. Nutritional supplement with vitamin C and E, particularly indicated to contrast free radicals involved in cell aging prenomena, Niacine wich helps to mantain skin healt and functionality, Glutathion, Lipoic Acid, Cucumis Melo extract which in synergy improve cell antioxidant systems function.
It costs €43,00 but worth them.

PHYTIC ACID CREAM: don't use this cream during the summer, I have just finished using it a month ago, it contains 8% glycolic acid and 2% phytic acid, it is recommended to apply a sunscreen daily when using products that contain Alpha Hydroxy acids, but I prefer to use this cream during the winter for not risk to find spots on my skin. This cream costs 58,00€, and itis specifically designed to refine rough skin texture and correct areas of uneven pigmentation for a smoother, more uniform complexion.To be honest, it does not remove the spots, but has a brightening effect.

YELLOW PEEL BALM:  costs 90€, then we expect miracles, but it is not so.
Yellow peel balm should be part of the skin rejuvenation program for lip augmentation. It contains retinoic acid to peel off dead skin and increase collagen production. It also stimulates blood flow so lips appear fuller and redder. I was not able to bear dry lips during treatment.
One side contains the Yellow Lip Peel, an intensely conditioning and refining anti-aging treatment while the other side contains the nourishing lip balm for moisturizing phase.

ADVANCED BRUISE PREVENTION FORMULA:Developed to deal with the problems of torn, bruised and thinning skin, SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula moisturises whilst repairing the skin. Containing a host of vital ingredients that boost the skin's natural ability to repair itself, SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula improves skin tone and increases collagen and elastin production. The natural ageing process paired with damage from the sun can leave skin fragile and more prone to thinning and bruising. SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula helps to build up skin strength to prevent tearing and bruising.
149,00€ for only 175 ml, a bit 'expensive for the results it gives!
