Exfoliators & Polishes

Exfoliators & Polishes

 Exfoliation is key to clear, glowing skin because as we age the dead skin cells become more compact and the body is slower to shed skin cells and generate new ones. When the dead skin cells pole up it can leave the skin looking dull, rough and dry. Furthermore, it can result in excess oil and clogged pores, leading to blemishes and acne. Regular exfoliation allows the removal of that build up and allows better permeability of your moisturiser to be more effective rather than simply sit on the surface.

BESTSELLER Oxygen Face Polish

Crystal Clear’s fabulous, gentle Oxygen Polish is suitable for all skin types, especially problematic and sensitive skin. Containing the active ingredient Oxylastil, which is a known oxygen carrier and has excellent anti-bacterial properties while Jojoba beads gently exfoliate.

The Importance of Vitamins in skincare

Importance of Vitamins in skincare and their presence in the Matis Paris formulations

Taking vitamins is part of the daily ritual for most of the people who are invested in their wellness. In spite of all their health benefits, these supplements can only deliver a small amount of vitamins to the skin. This is where the importance of vitamin-rich skincare products lies.

A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C is truly effective in neutralising the free radicals on the skin.  These damaging free radicals are caused by environmental pollution and cause inflammation on the skin.  Free radicals are also responsible for breaking the skin’s collagen, and consequently causing wrinkles and sagging.

Vitamin C’s powerful antioxidant action protects the skin from irritation but also has anti-ageing action.  By activating collagen synthesis, it fights the signs of ageing, revives the micro-circulation of blood and stimulates cellular renewal minimising age spots and improving skin texture.

It also reduces the appearance of pigmentation caused by sun damage helping the skin retain its youthfulness. It reduces red blotches left after spots by improving the skin’s natural healing process. This way, it’s brightening the complexion giving the skin a glowing, youthful look. Finally, it increases the effectiveness of sunscreen and gives the skin better protection from UV rays.

The Matis C7 Booster is a seven-day treatment  with a high concentration (79%) of Vitamin C. It comes with 7 spheres of the purest form of Vitamin C and an activating serum which when blended together, rehydrate allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. The Matis formula ensures that all the qualities of Vitamin C are naturally preserved when combining the formulations and applying to the skin. MatiSkin, the Matis signature drinkable beauty treatment which works in synergy with the body’s natural biological rhythm to boost the efficiency of skincare to reveal a healthy, radiant skin also includes Vitamin C.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that protects cell membranes from free radicals’ destructive actions. It slows down skin ageing whilst also strengthening skin barrier function and therefore protecting the skin’s hydration reserves. It hydrates, prevents water loss and has anti-inflammatory action.

Vitamin E can be found in many products across the Matis Paris range including Olea-Science, our Oil Serum from Reponse Densite which restores skin firmness as well as in Damask Rose, an active ingredient found in The Cream, the luxurious moisturiser from the Matis Caviar line.

Vitamin A is recognised in dermatology for its repairing power on skin damage. In skincare, it stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin texture and elasticity. Additionally, it helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines as well as pigmentation spots. Boosting skin cell renewal, vitamin A improves mature skin conditions, in which cell renewal is slowed down.

A complex of vitamins that includes vitamin A, C and E is present in every product in Reponse Vitalite, the Matis line which was designed to use the power of vitamins to revitalise the skin and give it back its natural glow.  This is a complete product range which includes the Vitalite Energising Cleansing Emulsion, a gentle milk cleanser and Vitalite Energising Lotion, a tonic spray which refreshes and stimulates the skin. It also includes the Vitalite Energising Serum and the Regenerating Serum which protect the skin from urban stress and help it regain its energy. The Vitalite Energising Cream, contains Peph-Active, an innovative plankton-based skin energiser that promotes cell renewal and improves the skin’s appearance whilst the Vitalite Regenerating Cream which rebuilds the skin whilst bringing comfort.  Finally, Reponse Vitalite includes the Vitalite Energising Scrub, a gentle face exfoliator which removes dead cells as a result of a micro-pearls mechanical action and the Vitalite Energising Mask, a silky, pearlescent gel mask which is enriched with the MATIS Captozone complex which neutralises ozone molecules to preserve the vitality of the skin and revive the radiance of the complexion.

Vitamin K fortifies the body cells strengthening the walls of blood capillaries and it is frequently used in medicine to help reduce swelling and bruising.  It helps the skin to heal from a variety of skin conditions. Propolis, the active ingredient found in the limited edition Matis Bee Cream is rich in Vitamin K and has smoothing, regenerating, purifying and antioxidant properties.

FACIAL STEPS

Start your at home facial with a deep, thorough cleanse using Gel Cleanser. Follow with a fine layer of Enzyme Peel over the face and neck avoiding the eye area. Leave for 30 minutes and gently remove with warm water on fine skin or use like a facial scrub on thicker skin.

Now apply a generous layer of Hydrating Gel over the face and neck. Avoid lips and top eye lid. Leave until the product dries tight and remove with a dry face cloth or warm water. Make sure the skin is dry and with eyes closed spray Hydrating Mist over the entire face and neck

Finally spray Hydrating Mist once more and follow with application of your favourite moisturiser

INSIDE DEFILIFT 3D™

by

INSIDE DEFILIFT 3D™

We’re all familiar with the saying “Life begins at 40”… well so does the fight for anti-ageing!!

The first thing to understand is… 
“YOUR FORTIES…… What is happening to your skin”?
The most common complaints from clients in their 40s is the slackening of the skin. Loss of definition, especially around the eyes and the jawline. The once tight, toned and firm complexion is beginning to look slightly “looser”, with less distinctive features, deeper lines and a lack of luminosity. So why, all of a sudden does the ageing process accelerate at this age?

Well, there’s lots of stuff happening that maybe most of us don’t know about! At this age, our lymphatic system starts to slow right down. Lymphatic drainage – the way your body gets rid of toxins – decreases in speed resulting in the breakdown of Elastin Fibers, our support structures that keep skin firm. Elastin works like our “internal scaffolding” if you like. When we are younger, it allows our body the ability to maintain skin flexibility; but after approximately age 40, skin elasticity declines, increasing structural damage and leading to slackening skin.

The other major factor for us ladies, is the huge shift in hormones. Your mid-forties is a time when hormones such as oestrogen are switching off. Oestrogen is responsible for keeping the skin tight, pert and bouncy and when it decreases, it can make our skin more fragile, start to sag and wrinkle around the neck and chest.

Fibers that support your lymph glands also break down, this can result in puffiness especially around your eyes and cheeks. And of course, there’s so many other factors that show tell-tale signs… Sun exposure, which is the cause of many skin issues, breaks down collagen and elastin fibers in your skin. Smoking, degrades collagen and dehydrates the watery gel inside your skin responsible for keeping your skin plump and bouncy, so the deeper layers of your skin become thirsty. Signs of tiredness and life’s excesses can also be reflected in your face. Too much alcohol over the years can open up your blood vessels, giving your skin a reddy appearance. The list goes on and on….

Gatineau, the leaders in breakthrough targeted corrective skincare have studied women’s skin for 85 years. DefiLift 3D™, is a range born of those years of scientific research and delivers a collection of products targeted at the visual signs of skin slackening to lift, tighten and redefine the complexion. Cleverly using Plant Protein Technology – taken from wheat, soy and corn, these proteins squeeze together the cellular mesh of the skin for an immediate tightening effect. Think of it like a pair of Spanx for the face, sucked in and lifted up!!!

To give you an interesting fact….Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in your body. In fact, if all the water was squeezed out of you, half of your dry weight would be protein, hence it’s such an important factor!
Proteins are necessary for tissue repair and for the construction of fresh skin. Every cell needs protein to maintain its life and it is also the primary substance used to “replace” worn-out or dead cells. Your muscles, hair, nails, skin, and eyes are all made of protein hence when the levels starts to diminish, our skin really visibly suffers. DefiLift diffuses a complex of plant proteins into the deep skin layers to help lift, tighten, smooth and define the shape of the face.

As well as all the firming agents DefiLift is also super charged with skin-quenching and moisturizing ingredients:
–Encapsulated Hyaluronic Acid, think thousands of tiny water ballons bursting all over the surface of the skin delivering water direct to the epidermis, an immediate plumping ,hydration boost for the complexion.
–Vitamins E to effectively work on diminishing dark spots
–Vitamin F to activate cell renewal.
–Mango butter, shea butter, Sweet almond oil , sesame oil) – nourishes and protects
Mango butter is rich antioxidants, vitamins A and E.. And importantly contains omega 9. An essential fatty acid which is a super skin conditioning and anti-inflammatory ingredient.

The most important gift you can give your older self is to look after your skin, especially in your 40s. It’s such a delicate time for the skin and without the correct products the ageing process will accelerate massively. Nature is no longer invested in making your skin glow, your eyes lifted, your face perky (or your boobs for that matter) so we need our skin care to work that little bit harder for us. DefiLift will do exactly that, the “Wonderbra” of skincare!!

Work towards the best your skin can be….

INSIDE AQUAMEMORY

Dehydration is one of the main causes of unhealthy and prematurely ageing skin, and with so many external factors effecting the hydration of the skin, is it any wonder that a very high percentage of us have some form of dehydration – some of us without even knowing it!

Firstly, it’s important to distinguish between dehydration & dryness as this is something many of us get confused about. Dryness is something that occurs naturally in our skin as it is related to the amount of oil in our skin. Therefore, it is a skin type. The drier the skin the quicker keratinisation occurs, this is what make the skin look dry, tight & dull. In severe cases itching & burning may occur. Dehydration on the other hand is a skin condition, where the skin cells are lacking much-much needed water – this can be easily treated and rectified with the right products.

The main factors leading to dehydration are: the cold, wind, low humidity, central heating, air conditioning, the sun, pollution, using products that are too harsh on our skin, and of course not forgetting smoking, caffeine & alcohol. Plus, stress & lack of sleep also contribute to a dehydrated skin. Need I go on! All these things strip out the natural moisture from our skin, which not only damages the epidermis but also makes our skin look & feel drier, sometimes even leading to cracks & flakes. Worst case scenario it can also leave the lower layers exposed to bacteria and possible infection.

Enter the Aquamemory Range with its exclusive OSMAPORINE technology – a complex of active ingredients derived from Microalgae and Marine Plants, which have a very similar structure to that of our skin. Algae is also selected for its renowned ability to defend against the dehydrating stress factors of its own natural aggressive environment. Additional ingredients include pure Hyaluronic Acid and an Anti-oxidant Complex.

These wonder ingredients work together and have a triple effect on the skin:

FIRST – Surface Hydration
Hyaluronic Acid gives immediate hydration to the skin’s surface. In an age where there seem to be new ingredients and buzzwords every day, Hyaluronic Acid has stood the test of time. It is naturally occurring in our connective tissues throughout the whole body, with 50% of it found in our skin. It is one of the major components our extracellular matrix (the framework in which our skin cells sit) and has an important role in maintaining the moisture in our skin – any guesses where I’m going with this – unfortunately, like most things, its production slows down with age! As it can retain over 1,000 times its volume in water you can see why we would add it into Aquamemory Range.

SECOND – Deepdown Hydration
Next the OSMAPORINE technology gives deep down hydration. Basically speaking, it traps water in the cells. The formula helps the transmission of water and the ingredients facilitate the transmission of water.  This means these amazing ingredients instantly give our skin a drink of water.

THIRD – Protection
Finally, the complex gives protection. It boosts the skin’s natural defences and helps the skin to protect against free radicals – another cause of premature ageing. It also preserves moisture in the skin with the help of the anti-oxi­dant complex: anti-free radical agent + Vitamin E.

Seeing that well-hydrated skin contains around 70% moisture – around two-thirds inside the cell and one-third on the surface the Aquamemory range will maintain this ideal hydration or “osmotic balance” in the presence of all the harsh conditions we are subjected to day after day.

THE SCIENCE OF Gatineau SERUMS!

THE SCIENCE OF Gatineau SERUMS!

Serums are often very misunderstood when it comes to skincare. Some people may think that serums are pointless, expensive products and that moisturisers can do everything for their skin.  But when we start with a few faint lines and our skin starts to lose its natural glow, this is when we realise that we need to up our skincare routine and a serum will become our new best friend!

Serums are a real game changer when it comes to improving multiple skin problems. Think of a serum like the main course of a 3-course meal. After kicking things off with an appetizer (i.e cleansing your face) and before treating yourself to dessert (i.e a protective and nourishing moisturiser), you fill up on the main course and all of the important nutrients that comes with it (i.e a serum).

Serums are skin care products that are designed to deliver high concentrations of specific (and potent) ingredients into the skin. Gatineau serums are supercharged with triple the concentration of active ingredients compared to that of their moisturisers and so it makes them incredibly industrious, offering quicker and more targeted results. They have lightweight textures as the molecules found inside them are much smaller than moisturisers and this permits delivery of potent anti-ageing, firming, hydrating and radiance boosting actives to the skin cells that need them most.

 

Take the award-winning Gatineau Collagene Expert Ultimate Smoothing Serum which is  loaded with a triple collagen complex (that’s 3 different types of marine collagen each of different molecular weights) which sink into both the deeper and surface layers of the skin inflating and smoothing EVERY line and wrinkle from within, as well as locking moisture into the skin, leaving it quite literally with a seamlessly smooth finish.

If you are looking for a serum equipped to pave the way as winter approaches, and the ravages wrought by dehydrating central heating and biting winter winds then Gatineau’s Aquamemory Moisture Replenish Concentrate is the serum to choose!  A souped-up formula enriched with important sea minerals and protective antioxidants; it nourishes the skin in depth whilst deflecting daily environmental damage. In addition there is a healthy helping of hyaluronic acid – an ingredient renowned for its skin plumping prowess and naturally found in our skin to maintain hydration (yet depletes with age), this moisture-binding ingredient incredibly can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water and works like a sponge attracting and locking in moisture.

And perfect for busy city-workers, Gatineau’s Age Benefit Perfect Skin Serum contains a special ‘anti-fatigue complex’ along with gentle fruit acids which gently buff away dulling dead skin cells, to restore tired skin to its former glory.  Think of this as your S.O.S product for a dull lack -lustre complexion, imbuing it with a new lease of life.

 

How about a serum that is all about ‘perfecting an uneven skin texture’? Whether it’s uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, redness and quite frankly anything that just isn’t perfect then Gatineau Perfection Ultime Perfecting Cream-Serum is a match made in heaven!  It’s got the comfort of a feather-light cream, but the potency of a serum and it really does what it says on the tin!  Enriched with ‘Neurophroline’ from Wild indigo Extract it is like a ‘de-stress express’ to skin cells breaking down cortisol levels (cortisol is the hormone that induces redness and accelerates the ageing process) and soothing skin irritations. I love the idea that a serum can reduce stress and tension in the skin. It also contains Centella Asiatica (or Cica as otherwise known) and White tea extract and Centell- two ingenious ingredients with high levels of antioxidants which protect the skin, combat free radical damage and quite frankly address any signs of ‘wear and tear’ leaving skin looking saintly.

And that brings us to the ‘creme de la creme’ in our wardrobe of serums – and actually it’s more superior than a serum, it’s an ‘Elixir’. Gatineau’s Age Benefit Ultra-Regenerating Night Elixir is what I call a ‘one stop age defying shop!’ Formulated with the highest concentration of Age benefit technology (it’s 3 times more potent in strength than our other serums) it is designed to hit the skin cells’ re-set button attacking the key signs of cellular slowdown and delaying the ageing process. What’s more, this Elixir is genius as it works whilst you sleep, targeting numerous skin concerns and actively diminishing lines and wrinkles, fading dark spots and supporting the skin’s elasticity. This silky, overnight ‘cell recovery’ elixir is the ultimate way to get the best beauty sleep!

 

So in the quest for perfect skin or if you want to overhaul your complexion and give your skin back its health then I suggest you reach for a serum (it really does pack an almighty punch!)

And when it comes to using any Gatineau serum, the saying ‘less is more’ really fits the bill – you only need to use one pump of product underneath your moisturiser both morning and night. You really will see amazing results!
