Just in time for mistletoe season and here to rescue your fragile deflated lips, I am so excited to reveal that Gatineau’s Defi Lift Revolumising Lip Care is BACK, and it couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time as the harsh winter affliction is about to strike and create havoc with this incredibly delicate area of the face. Yet lip treatments should really be beauty perennials and a firm fixture all year round to ensure your lips not only look good but feel good too -  the trouble is there is an enormous difference between a good lip treatment and a bad one. The latter coats the lips with ingredients like petroleum and does extraordinarily little with treating dryness however a good one will be packed full of ‘tender loving actives’ that can tick a number of boxes including hydrating, soothing, plumping and protecting. Well good news guys - Our DefiLift Revolumising Lip Care ticks off a sling of valuable boxes in just a single swipe and will blow your lips out of the water as it casts a plump and supple spell on them!

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but lip skin has not been created equally in comparison to the rest of the face which seems a little unfair bearing in mind how often you use your lips. With only three to five layers of thickness (compared to sixteen cell layers on the face), lips lack the most important outer layer (called the Stratum Corneum) and the skin’s first line of defence against environmental aggressors, so it’s no wonder they are so fragile and prone to chapping. They have also been denied any sweat or sebaceous glands, the glands responsible for producing the protective film which keeps lips ‘happily hydrated’ and with very few melanin producing cells, lips are extremely sensitive to UV rays. The plumpness and definition in your lips is dictated in part to the collagen it contains but with age the body produces less of this important protein and your once enviable pout slowly decreases in volume whilst the cupids bow (named after the ancient Roman god of love) begins to flatten, causing marionette lines and leading to thinner looking lips. And if that wasn’t enough you then have the Vermillion Border (the junction where the lips meet the surrounding skin of the mouth area) which houses a vast number of nerve endings making this area extremely sensitive and susceptible to inflammation – cue unattractive lip sores!

Known in the beauty world for bringing high performance anti-ageing treatments to your skincare regime, Gatineau scientists understand the need for prevention as well as intervention and have turned their skin perfecting technology to your lips creating this incredible upgraded DefiLift Revolumising Lip Care (we know how much you loved the original!) to rehabilitate them and do them serious justice. 

BRAND-NEW & EXCLUSIVE - AGE BENEFIT ESSENTIAL OVERNIGHT ELIXIR 30ML!

Finding the perfect skin care routine is a lot like searching for your soulmate – at times it is nearly impossible but when you stumble across the perfect match it is a magical feeling. The world of skincare can be overwhelming at times particularly when it comes to choosing a daytime and a night-time routine. With beauty shelves brimming with an array of essences, boosters, serums, oils, and moisturisers, picking the right products can be a task in itself never mind which ones deserve starring roles in the morning and evening?

A solid night’s sleep can be the foundation for a great day -  it can improve our mood, attention, memory, productivity and also offers a multitude of long-term physical health benefits including having a restorative effect on our skin.  So how you get your skin ready for the day versus bedtime is a totally different ball game as your skins needs differ. During the day, your skin is in defence mode as it is exposed to pollutants, UV rays, free radicals,  dirt, bacteria, and blue light emitted from laptops and smart phones all of which wear down your skin cells and damage the dermal proteins responsible for a smooth and resilient complexion. Yet the hours we spend asleep are actually among our most constructive. Your body repairs and recharges itself during your sleep cycle and skin is at its most industrious - eliminating toxins, regenerating cells,  (In fact between 11pm and 4am cell production can actually double), and producing more collagen as it does its best to undo the day’s damage from the external aggressors it’s been in contact with. As you sleep your immune system is functioning at its maximum capacity too and skin is much more permeable making it much more receptive to the skincare products you apply.

But sometimes modern life puts those rhythms under constant attack. Interrupted sleep patterns cause the essential skin processes to slow down and hectic lifestyles, elevated stress levels and anxiety cause your body to produce more of the stress hormone cortisol which can contribute to inflamed, puffy and dull looking skin. And did I  mention it’s a whole new chapter when you hit your 40’s, 50’s and beyond and the declining production of the hormone oestrogen wages its own private war to deplete us of skins essential scaffolding (the collagen and elastin that keeps skin smooth and supple) and exhaust skin of even a hint of sparkle. With age there comes a significant decrease in the amount of hyaluronic acid, conditioning ceramides and other important lipids that’s produced too, leading to dryness and increased sensitivity.

An innovative bi-phase formula combining the highly concentrated anti-ageing benefits of a serum with all the nourishment, comfort, and protection of an oil.  With proven ingredients for powerful results, it delivers advanced skin smoothing, brightening and soothing benefits.
