THE DEFINITIVE ALTERNATIVE

by

Linda Meredith V-Tox is the brilliantly unique alternative to BOTOX an unprecedented global bestseller. 

V-Tox utilises a botanical algae to mimic the smoothing, line-diminishing effects of BOTOX in a natural looking way. V-Tox restores the skin’s elastin, collagen and moisture levels which results in firmer, smoother and more youthful looking skin. V-Tox is the ultimate must have anti-ageing skin cream for all daily skincare routines.

“A non-invasive alternative to BOTOX” – Tatler

The science – V-Tox mimics the effects of BOTOX by blocking the signals that make muscles contract and create frown lines. It can also be applied over the entire face and neck creating a much more natural balance to the face.

The key ingredients – Portulaca Oleracea: Incredibly High levels of Omega 3, Portulaca Oleracea contains more alpha-linolenic acid than any other leafy plant ingredient. It is an excellent source of Vitamin A, known as a powerful natural antioxidant and an essential vitamin for healthy skin.

Centella Asiatica (Gota Colu): Regarded as perhaps the most spiritual of all herbs in India. Growing predominantly in areas of the Himalayas and praised for its antibacterial, soothing and healing abilities.

Ginseng: As well as well noted historic use in Chinese and Western Medicine, Ginseng is an impressive anti-ageing ingredient. Leading medical studies have shown its effectiveness in fighting wrinkles due to ginseng’s ability to boost skin-firming Collagen.

Tripeurospermum Maritimum (Sea Mayweed): Sea Mayweed regulates the sensation of discomfort and local inflammation, making sensitive skin less reactive and soothed. An immediate and long-term reduction of redness is also visible.

GABA (gamma amino Butyric acid): Is an amino acid found in plant tissue, it is directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone. Known as an inhibitory neurotransmitter that blocks nerve impulses. Gives rise to the relaxation of the facial nerves thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

The perfect alternative – Pregnancy safe, Vegan friendly and Paraben Free!

10 TANNING TIPS FOR THE MOST NATURAL LOOKING SELF TAN

by

In need of a tan but want to avoid looking fake? Follow these fail-safe tips and tricks from Vita Liberata tanning experts to ensure you get a streak-free, natural looking tan, every time.

There’s a reason why self tan is often called a holiday in a bottle. After all, a good self tanner can have the effect of a week spent relaxing in the sun. In just a matter of hours your skin will be bronzed and glowing, leaving you looking instantly healthy and rested. What’s even better, is that by opting for a self tan over baking in the sun you’ll protect your skin from potential sun damage, helping to maintain plumper, more youthful looking skin. Win, win!

Why then do so many of us still worry about looking unnatural, streaky or blotchy when applying self tanner? Thankfully, gone are the days of self tan formulas that turn you orange. Vita Liberata tanning collection has been designed using Advoganic Technology to give you the most natural looking results. The organic formulas come in a variety of formats to make it as easy as possible to apply and to achieve the most flawless tan. There are, however, some steps you can follow to ensure you get the very best results from your tan. Follow these 10 fail safe tanning tips and get ready to glow, naturally!

1. PREPARATION

The no.1 most important step in your tanning routine is preparation. Imagine your skin as an artist’s canvas, it’s important to prepare properly to give the most flawless results. Start by exfoliating your skin with an oil free body scrub, paying particular attention to dry areas such as elbows and knees. Why oil free? Residue from oily products create a barrier on the surface of the skin preventing the most flawless results. Once you’re exfoliated, remove any unwanted hair and keep skin clean and free from any moisturiser, lotion or perfume before you tan. 

Self Tan preparation

2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FORMULA

Vita Liberata designed the collection to include a variety of formulas and shades to help you choose the perfect option for your skin type. If you have drier skin, one of the hydrating tanning lotions will ensure your skin is extra moisturized and help create an even finish. If you’re after a super fast drying tan, you’ll love our range of self tanning mousses that dry in an instant and are super easy to apply. Want to avoid any transfer to clothing? Invisi Foaming Tan Water is a clear, colourless mousse which is perfect for keeping sheets clean. As there’s no guide colour to see where you’re applying we recommended moving on to this once you’ve had some practice applying one of our tinted mousses first.

3. USE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PRODUCT

One of the best tanning tips we can give you for achieving a natural looking tan is not to apply too much product. This can make for an uneven application leaving you with an unnatural looking result. A little goes a long way, and remember, if you want to go deeper you can always add more. Aim for 1-2 pumps of mousse for each arm, lower and upper leg, torso and chest.

4. USE A TANNING MITT

If you’ve ever wondered whether the tanning mitt is really necessary, then let us help you – it’s essential! The soft flock surface of the mitt allows you to evenly distribute and blend the self tan onto your skin. It also helps to protect the palms of your hand from the tan, making sure you don’t end up with unnaturally tanned hands.

5. A NATURAL HAND TAN

One of the biggest giveaways of a faux glow is over-tanned hands, wrists and palms. Notice that your skin is naturally lighter towards your wrist, and the palms of our hands don’t tan at all. When you’re tanning the inside of your arm gently blend towards your wrist, making sure not to leave a line at the base of your hand. Once you’ve finished tanning your arms use the product that’s left on the mitt to gently sweep over the top of your hand towards your fingers for a natural coverage. Finally, take a damp cloth or makeup wipe and sweep in between fingers and over the top of knuckles to remove any excess product.  

Vita Liberata application feet

6. NATURAL FEET TAN

After hands, feet are the next biggest giveaway of a sunless tan. Be careful applying too much to ankles and notice where the skin would be naturally tanned. Similar to hands, there’s no need to apply extra product to the mitt when tanning the top of your feet. Simply sweep the mitt gently over the surface and blend for a natural finish. Finally, take your damp cloth or wipe and touch up the sides of the feet and in between toes for a tan that looks like you just stepped off the beach.  

7. LET THE TAN DEVELOP

If you’re using one of our lasting tans such as pHenomenal 2-3 Week Tan Mousse or Lotion, Fabulous Mousse or Lotion then you’ll need to let the tan develop over 4-6 hours to ensure you get the best results. During this time, you should avoid contact with water and make sure you don’t sweat as both of these can affect the development of the tan and leave you with uneven results. Some people choose to apply their tan before bed and rinse off the next morning. Top tip, wear clothing that covers your arms and legs to avoid skin sweating during the night to ensure you wake up with an even tan.

8. DON’T FORGET ABOUT A FACE TAN

For a foolproof faux glow, make sure that you give your complexion a healthy glow too. All of the Vita Liberata tans can be used on the face and body, either on their own or mixed with your moisturiser for a more subtle glow. For a customized face tan, try our Self Tanning Anti Age Serum, simply add a couple of drops to your usual skin care before bed and wake up with a natural face glow. Looking for an instant result? Apply the instant skin perfecting and bronzing Beauty Blur as a primer under makeup, or use on its own for a glowy no-makeup look.

9. FINISHING TOUCHES

Once your tan is applied and developed, there are a few finishing touches you can add to ensure your skin is looking flawless all over. If you have an event or party to go to, our Body Blur HD Skin Finish is the perfect addition to your tan. The instant bronzing lotion will blur imperfections and add a flawless, camera ready glow – it’s like an instagram filter in a bottle!

10. MAINTAINING YOUR TAN

Not all tanning tips are about the application. How you maintain your tan is going to be key to having a glow that lasts and looks good. Thankfully, Vita Liberata products are made with deeply hydrating ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Raspberry and Melon so you can be sure your tan will fade evenly, just like a natural sun tan. To help keep your skin glowing from within remember to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water and eating green leafy vegetables like Kale that are rich in L-Lysine. Want to further extend your tan? Apply our Fabulous Gradual Tan Lotion every day for extra hydration and a boost of self tan.

Now you have the tanning tips to help you create the most natural looking self tan.

HOW TO USE AMAZON

This useful guide offers tips on how to get the most out of your product.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

As this product is classed as a balm and not a water based cream, it may require softening between the fingertips before application. Pay particular attention to damaged areas such as fine lines and scar tissue left after breakouts. Amazon is also useful when applied directly after a skin irritation, such as sunburn.

STEP 1

Using an amount equal to a small to medium sized coin, work gently between the fingertips to warm the product to make it more spreadable.

STEP 2

Start the application in the centre of the face, either side of the nose and spread outwards towards the cheeks, then to the centre of the forehead and continue to spread outwards towards the temples.

STEP 3

With a similar amount of product or slightly less depending on preference, repeat the process at the centre of the chin, working up towards the ears and similarly on the upper lip working towards the same area.

STEP 4

From the base of the neck, work upwards towards the jaw line, as the product warms from the heat in the skin, it will become more pliable and work more easily. Now that most of the face and neck is covered with the product it can be massaged easily covering any points missed across the face. A drop or two of Serum, mixed in, will make the product spread more easily.

Matis Caviar Line, a luxurious skincare line with French caviar’s precious, prodigious powers

by

Often referred to as “black gold”, Caviar is a skincare super-ingredient with powerful and mineral-replenishing anti-ageing properties. It contains 47 different vitamins and minerals, making it a nourishing treat for the skin.

Sturgeon eggs are packed full of nutritious goodness, with all the ingredients needed to slow down skin ageing. The secret to caviar’s skin-nourishing properties lies in its vitelline, a substance composed of marine phospholipids and phosphoproteins, both of which are essential cell components. It is the perfect blend of minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicon, etc.), amino acids, fatty acids (Omega 3, DHA) needed for skin cell membrane formation, vitamins (A, E, C, D and B complex vitamins essential for cellular metabolism) and trace elements (zinc).

In short, caviar serves up a balanced blend of all the nutritional elements cells need. These nutrients are essential to maintaining the skin’s cellular balance and giving skin cells the ingredients needed to reconstruct membranes. This is how caviar extract nourishes and hydrates the skin deep down, stimulates collagen production and regenerates cellular structures, resulting in firmer, plumper skin.

MATIS takes the greatest of care in selecting the most eco-responsible caviar available. Regulated production methods, stringent specifications and compliance with anti-pollution and animal welfare norms and standards, and the highest of 100% French-sourced caviar prepared entirely by hand in sterile conditions.  The caviar used by MATIS is particularly rich in essential nutrients, and especially in plumping and restructuring proteins and amino acids (arginine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, etc.), as well as regenerating, antioxidant, collagen synthesis-boosting Vitamin C.

The Matis Caviar skincare routine starts with the use of The Milk,  a luxurious make-up remover which cleanses in depth and offers an unparalleled sensory experience. Its formula combines the power of French caviar with Damask rose to recharge skin and help the face to regain a youthful glow.  The pre-treatment of the skin continues with the award-winning The Essence, a toner that combines French caviar with marine collagen for a double anti-ageing action.

The Serum, is s a supreme elixir that offers a global anti-ageing solution and an exquisite sensory experience. Its exceptional formula with caviar blended with a potent active ingredient that fights wrinkles, boosts the skin’s firmness and beauty.

In the morning, after the application of The Serum, follows the application of The Cream. The Cream is an anti-ageing moisturiser with caviar and Damask rose which boosts fibroblasts and enhances the skin’s youthfulness. In the evening, The Night replaces The Cream, and combining caviar with marine glycogen, provides the skin with the energy it needs to boost its renewal.

An essential in the daily Matis Caviar routine is The Eyes, an eye cream with a unique black gel texture that revitalises the eye contour due to its formula with French caviar blended with marine collagen and a Matis complex with hydrating and firming properties.

Complete the weekly Matis Caviar routine with the use of The Scrub followed by using The Mask. The Scrub has a unique formula which combines all the power of French caviar with natural volcanic lava powder, coupled with an active enzyme. This exfoliating scrub with an original and luxurious texture stimulates cell renewal and improves the quality of the skin leaving it refined and smoothed, soft, and glowing. The Mask has a distinctive, opaque black texture which will delight the senses. Its formula allows the skin to fully absorb its exceptional active ingredients, leaving it remineralised and glowing.

To try some of the highlights of the Matis Caviar line, we have available the Matis Caviar Trial Set which contains The Cream (20ml), The Night (20ml) and the Mask (20ml) with a free luxurious black pouch with golden details.
