Developed by Guerlain Research, the age-defying skincare products in the Abeille Royale range are composed of active ingredients with exceptional repairing properties derived from bee products*, especially honey from Ouessant Island in France. The formulas of the two new Day Creams and the new Night Cream have been revised to offer even greater effectiveness and sensory pleasure.

The result: The skin’s appearance is instantly and lastingly transformed and the visible signs of skin ageing minimised, to even more precisely meet women’s expectations in terms of age-defying skincare.

The DAY CREAM and RICH DAY CREAM: Two creams, two textures, two innovative formulas.

Firming – Wrinkle Minimising – Radiance

An innovative technology: At the heart of the new Abeille Royale Day Creams lies a Repairing Concentrate with a comprehensive action that works on all the key levels of the skin to improve its radiance and the quality of its texture. It originates from the Guerlain Research laboratories’ discovery that Ouessant honey helped boost the production of genes coding for two proteins that play a role in forming the skin’s barrier (stimulation of Cornifin gene expression by 50% and Elafin gene expression by 27% by keratinocytes in culture)*.

It incorporates two types of hyaluronic acid:

• One of high molecular weight that acts rapidly on the surface, hydrates and smooths the skin, minimising wrinkles and fine lines.

• The other of low molecular weight that passes through the skin’s mesh to:

– boost the proliferation of epidermal* cells to reduce surface imperfections

– boost collagen and fibroblast synthesis in the dermis*

Sensory textures

The new Day Cream texture is a perfect balance between richness and lightness. The texture’s comforting softness can instantly be felt, leaving skin radiant and comfortable. The Rich Day Cream has an utterly delectable texture as rich as a balm. Enriched with beeswax butter, derived entirely from natural sources, the formula gently glides over the skin, which instantly appears smoother. A gourmet pleasure enhanced even further by its honey colour. On application, this nectar’s slightly fresh, sunkissed fragrance holds an enchanting appeal. Honeyed notes of beeswax absolute fuse with the more floral aromas of mimosa and broom, blending with the scent of fresh herbs…

THE NIGHT CREAM : Firming – Wrinkle Minimising – Replenishing

Abeille Royale night cream optimises our skin’s natural ability to renew itself overnight thanks to Abeille Royale Repairing Concentrate enriched with Moroccan honey, combining an antioxidant

and a soothing action. Moroccan honey’s antioxidant properties target free radicals(1) and decrease their production by more than half. It also spectacularly reduces prostaglandins E2, pro-infl ammatory mediators(1) that contribute to premature skin ageing. the luscious, silky smooth texture makes application a pleasure and holds the promise of effectiveness on wrinkles, fi rmness and facial contours during the night, the most conducive time for skin renewal.

… Which honeys?

Originally, Ouessant honey…

On the island of Ouessant(1), located 18 km off the Brittany coast and listed as a nature reserve by UNESCO, forages a black bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) endemic to the island that produces a honey of exceptional purity due to its genetic properties and the exceptional quality of the Ouessant ecosystem, free from any pollution or intensive farming. This honey with a slightly salty taste boasts an exceptionally high content in minerals and trace elements (sodium, magnesium, calcium, selenium, silicon) as well as amino acids. These are all elements that are particularly active in the skin, both in the connective tissue and also in collagen and elastin fibre synthesis. Rare and pure Ouessant honey is at the heart of Abeille Royale Repairing Concentrate. This concentrate boosts self-repair at every key level of the skin for instant and lasting age-defying effectiveness(2).

… and exclusive Sologne royal jelly

Another key ingredient in the concentrate is incorporated into the different formulas: Guerlain’s exclusive Sologne royal jelly. It nourishes skin to leave it firmer and more toned.

For women today, beauty transcends simplistic definitions: it is not just about looking good and feeling good but also about doing good and living well. From a large-scale survey conducted across the world, L’Occitane found out that modern women look beyond clinically-tested results to the quality and origin of the ingredients, as well as long-term effects of these on their faces. In short, today’s women seek harmony – not just between what they feel on the inside and see in the mirror but also in the world at large.

With the Harmonie Divine collection, L’Occitane En Provence pays homage to beauty as we know it today – evolving, inclusive, ageless and natural. Inspired by observing nature’s very own everlasting examples, the anti-ageing collection brings together two ingredients with truly astonishing talents: red algae with the ability to eternally restore and a flower that never fades. Harvested from the sun-kissed Corsican earth and the clear waters of the coast of Calvi respectively, the wild Immortelle Millésimée flower and Jania Rubens micro-algae are the best examples of nature’s regenerative prowess.

Powered by the elements of earth and sea, the Immortelle Millésimée and the rare Jania Rubens bring together the extraordinary regenerative abilities of their extracts in two exceptional formulas. When combined, these two ingredients target the overall harmony of the face by acting not only on the classic signs of ageing, but also on facial volumes and contours.

The new collection focuses on enhancing harmony both inside and outside the body through two signature products – The Divine Harmony Cream and The Divine Harmony Serum.

DIVINE HARMONY SERUM: Taking Care of Facial Contours and Volumes

 For the Divine Harmony Serum, L’Occitane added to the power of active ingredients held by 5,000 micro-drops of Immortelle Millésimée by enriching it with Jania Rubens. They not only contain Immortelle Millésimée essential oil, but also myrtle essential oil and camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. With each pump of the dispenser, the earth and sea collide: the micro-drops burst delicately, without leaving the slightest trace; the Jania Rubens and Immortelle fuse together and melt into the skin as the lightweight serum infuses the skin with powerful active ingredients. As the fingertips trace the contours of the face, the skin regains its youthful plumpness, smoothness and definition. Priced at AED 799 for a 30ml bottle.

DIVINE HARMONY CREAM: Revives Radiance and Slows the Signs of Time

The Divine Harmony Cream transports us to Corsica – the Island of Beauty with its refreshing, uplifting scent of the clear Mediterranean waters, woven with notes of earth, myrtle, musk and immortelle. The cream’s texture is as soft and fine as the skin. It melts – quite literally – into the skin, which rapidly absorbs its active ingredients. Upon contact, the Jania Rubens extract sinks into the skin, giving a feeling of comfort and hydration. Then the formula evolves and the cream transforms into a soft oil that allows the lipophilic active ingredients to penetrate the skin – particularly the Immortelle Millésimée and myrtle essential oils, as well as camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. It helps to soften expression lines, rebalance facial volumes and boost radiance: the three pillars of facial harmony. Priced at AED 699 for a 50ml bottle.

L’Occitane customers care about the environment, so as part of the comprehensive, holistic approach taken for this new range, it was key that L’Occitane should also take a sustainable approach focused on renewal, recycling and durability. This way of thinking, still so rare in the cosmetics industry, goes hand-in-hand with the vision of luxury embodied by Divine Harmony – a luxury that lasts over time. Both the serum and cream feature an eco-refillable compartment, subtly worked into the delicate shapes of the elegant packaging. The refills are easy to remove and replace, designed to have as few components as possible. The serum refills can be purchased individually for AED659 and the cream refills will be available in stores soon.

The Divine Harmony range can be purchased exclusively at selected L’Occitane stores in The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta Mall, Mirdiff City Centre, Dubai Marina Mall, The Beach, The Galleria and Yas Mall.

French beauty and health expert LPG has unveiled a new Endermologie® treatment for young, luscious lips and fresh eye contours.

Ludovic Loffreda, CEO at LPG Bella Concept LLC said: “The new Endermologie® Perfect Eyes & Lips treatment offers a synergy of actions by detoxifying the dermis environment to boost cells’ good health in the lips and eye contour area, where women need to pay more close attention to if they want to keep a young and youthful face.”

This treatment works two ways: it detoxifies the cellular environment by eliminating toxic substances and it awakens youth cells (fibroblasts) to reactivate their natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The third step to maintain the youthful skin around the eyes and lips area is to use the 3 new Endermologie® cosmétiques range which has been specially developed to optimize the results of Endermologie® professional treatments. Stimulated and vascularized, the skin perfectly assimilates the carefully-selected and highly-concentrated active ingredients contained in LPG® cosmetics.

After an intense skin fitness session, the application of the new Post-Care Eye Contour Mask will be a relaxing and calming step for the skin. In addition, the application of the Anti-aging Renewal Serum and the Eye & Lip Contour Cream will be the finishing touch to this exceptional premium treatment.

POST-CARE EYE CONTOUR MASK

These fully-covering and sheathing pre-cut fabric patches perfectly fit the delicate and fragile eye contour area to deliver complete and optimal efficiency and offer an incredible tensing effect. The eyes are rested for 10 minutes, the eye contour area is smoothed and recovers its youthful appearance! Its formulation is a combination of peptides such as hyaluronic acid and marine collagen to replump and instantaneously firm the skin; and a biotech polypeptide, efficient against dark circles.

LPG® CELLULAR REGENERATION COMPLEX

The LPG® Cellular Regeneration Complex is associated with high-performance active ingredients selected for their targeted anti-aging properties which include the Beautyfeye® active ingredient – an abstract from the Persian silk tree and the Siegesbeckia orientalis – that enables an upper eyelid tensing effect, associated with a natural and immediate tensing active ingredient and powerful anti-wrinkle principles that fight against puffiness and eye swelling. This cocktail of highly-powerful active ingredients allows to instantly replump the delicate and particularly dehydrated skin of the eye and lip contour area.

LPG EYE & LIP CONTOUR CREAM FOR PERFECT EYES & SMILE

Ideal partner of the Anti-aging Renewal Serum, the new Eye & Lip Contour Cream is presented as a precious golden pen and encloses 30% of the exclusive and highly-powerful LPG® Cellular Regeneration Complex.

This anti-aging product is based on the exclusive and patented ITD (Intelligence Targeting Device) system, the new technology coming from cancer research. Real GPS of the skin, the patented capsule contains a ligand peptide anchored on its external surface that will direct it to the targeted cell’s (fibroblast) specific receptor. The active ingredient is thus delivered at the heart of the cell but in a targeted way thanks to the ligand (key to reach the heart of the cell) to increase collagen and elastin production.

This new LPG Perfect Eyes & Lips treatment together with the 3 new cosmetic range provides an intense physiological awakening and boosts cells’ metabolism. From the first session, you will see visible results:

• The delicate skin around the eyes is smoothed for a fresher face

• The upper eyelid is lifted for a younger look

• Lipstick and marionette lines fade

• The lips are plumped, soft and smooth

To get optimal results, LPG experts advise to have a full one-month treatment, which is once a week for 4 weeks. Then, go for once a month treatment to optimize results and occasionally indulge for special events such as parties or weddings.

When I first got my hands on the 365 SUN COMPACT SPF 30 from Lancaster I thought it can only be used while being exposed to the sun. But then I realised that inside this amber-toned case adorned in luminous rays lies a formula that lets you make peace with the sun on a daily basis.

Whether in the city or at the beach, at the height of summer, in winter or even when the first glimmers of spring arrive, this compact takes care of everything at a click. As well as incorporating the brand new Full Light protection, 365 Sun Compact SPF 30 contains Lancaster’s signature promise in the sun: radiance. Thanks to TAC – the Tan Activating Complex, it actually extends your tan. Your colour becomes luminous, your complexion even and highly desirable. As a bonus, this skin-enhancing product is infused with specific technology for 365 days of protection. The skin is thus protected against environmental damage – pollution, oxidative stress – that could disrupt the integrity of its DNA. Last but not least, the emollient formula provides comfort and moisture.

A velvety, silky smooth texture

Using the micro-aerated sponge, apply just the right amount of the compact all over the face. On contact with the skin, this silky smooth and supple texture transforms into a subtle powdery feel. Then, like a beautiful halo, the glow of a lightly tanned face appears, 365 days a year.

Inspired by International Women’s Day and Mother’s Day, L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE’s Néroli and Orchidée has launched three more additions to the collection which has always been the epitome of femininity and elegance.

The collection’s ritual begins with a bath milk, followed by a body oil and finishes with a delicate touch of lip gloss.

Gathered first-hand by the Damiano family in the Grasse area in France, the Néroli and Orchidée Eau de Toilette is a unique blend of bitter orange blossom and Madagascan white Orchid. The fresh Neroli is instantly recognizable by its zestiness, and combines with the delicate scent of the white Orchid.

1- The Néroli and Orchidée Bath Milk is a welcome addition to the range, it keeps your skin hydrated, moisturised and it delicately perfumes your skin all day long.

2- The Néroli and Orchidée Body Oil is ultra-lightweight, nourishing and quick to absorb, provides the skin with the right nutrition, leaving it soft, supple and radiant without being greasy or sticky.

3- The Néroli and Orchidée Lip Gloss imparts a fruity floral scent as it coats the lips with an understated rosy nude hue, provides lips with a sheer finish, without leaving them feeling sticky or dry.

How my daily ritual starts: I use the NÉROLI & ORCHIDÉE shower gel on a daily basis and it is very hydrating and moisturising and leaves my skin with a slight scented smell. My skin feels silky while still under the shower. For ultimate relaxation the bath milk can be used by diffusing two capsules into warm water but with my hectic life this can be practised only at night. Then I spray the oil on my skin and it unbelievably gets absorbed quickly adding more nutrients to my skin, not sticky at all. Then I spray the eau de toilette which helps the perfume stay longer if applied on hydrated skin. To finish it off I apply the lips gloss.

It is my daily ritual and my new addiction these days. It is worth to add them to your L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE’S NÉROLI & ORCHIDÉE COLLECTION. Try them and you won’t regret.
