Starting with the Energy and Oxygenation

Valmont is one of the most loved Swiss brands associated with luxury skincare and uses Swiss glacial water and plant extracts. This year they created a new line: DetO2x. It is oxygenating line, that includes eye cream, day/night cream and a bubble mask. Valmont always offers exceptional textures of products and this time texture is like a whipped cream. Made with little bubbles, it’s airy and light, but when applied to the skin it changes and gives a silky touch. These products are like air on the skin, nourishing and rejuvenating the skin with tiny oxygen bubbles. It’s a skincare that gives pleasure when applied and Valmont once again proved to be the pioneer in the beauty industry.

Hyaluronic Acid as a key player.

We all know that Hyaluronic Acid Is the Holy Grail to youthful and hydrated skin. That is why it’s great to use it in the summer when the skin is more exposed to the sun, pollution or irritation. Lancôme has launched 2 new products that have a high concentration of Hyaluronic Acid and are working complementarily with each other. First is the Anti-Aging-PflegeRénergie H.P.N. 300-Peptide Cream. It’s a luxury yet affordable cream in a refillable jar. In this formula, Lancôme for the first time, concentrated over 300 types of Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide in one unique cream. This cream helps to regenerate faster (like young skin) and offers a visible lift to the face and neck. It also fights wrinkles and dark spots. Ideal for all skin types and ages.

Summer Lips

For summer, brands are always coming up with new colours and textures. As much as we love to use lip oils and balm adding a bit of colour is always a goal. However, colour lipstick looks better on well-moisturised and plump lips. So starting with a great balm is a must and if you would like to wake up with a beautiful lip then a sleeping mask from Laneige is ideal. It’s the number 1 lip product in the US and this year they added a Mango version to the sleeping mask. It’s a nourishing overnight lip mask. It’s an intensive mask that will deliver intense moisture and antioxidants while sleeping for visibly smoother, baby-soft lips in the morning.
