LADY@LXG: Achieving flawless luminosity with NUXE WHITE

“ Like a diamond, the skin’s beauty comes from its transparency. To maintain the skin’s full transparency, it is not enough to simply focus on whiteness. We also need to provide the skin with hydration and rosy luminosity. NUXE has achieved this in its own inimitable style, incorporating high-performance flowers and Vitamin C at the heart of a range that delivers exceptional results, demonstrated by objective clinical tests, proven and approved by women”. Aliza Jabès, NUXE’s CEO. 

I have been a loyal fan of Nuxe products for years. A definite must-have for me is their huile prodigieuse which I use twice a day on my entire body. This silky dry oil keeps my skin velvety smooth and beautifully scented, but more about this wonder product another time. This post is all about their very latest range of whitening skin care; NUXE WHITE.

Nuxe believes that in order to make the skin as transparent as possible, light needs to pass through a crystalline structure, similar to passing through a diamond. When saturated with water, the cells of the horny layer are 

more cohesive. The skin is smoother, reflecting light more effectively thus appearing more transparent.

By exploring the heart of Prodigious flowers; White Crocus, Stargazer Lily, Porcelain Rose and Cherry Blossom, Nuxe has identified these high-performance molecules which work in synergy with Vitamin C on the three key factors of skin transparency: whiteness, luminosity and hydration. 

The new Nuxe White range has been proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots, improve the transparency and clarify of the complexion and the rosy appearance if the skin.

The NUXE WHITENING range comes in:

Clean and Purify your skin with the BRIGHTENING PURIFYING FOAM $38  

This very gentle sulfate-free yet foaming cleanser smells absolutely divine. In fact, the entire range of products smell like lilies, fresh, pure and delicate. The added derivatives of Coconut, Corn and Sunflower to compensate for the drying effect of cleansing, so skin does not feel tight or itchy, but soft and moist.

Moisturize and Smooth your skin with the BRIGHTENING MOISTURIZING LOTION $55

This alcohol free toner is a definite must-have. My skin was immediately infused with moisture as soon as I slapped this lotion on thanks to the fact that hyaluronic acid is one of its main ingredients. My open pores and fine-lines were instantly plumped and the effect stays with you most of the day. In fact, if I have a long day out, I saturate my skin with this lotion twice. The lotion has a gentle micro-exfoliating effect  thanks to Extract of Hibiscus Flower which has a high concentrated in pyruvic acid, which is as effective as AHA but less irritating. I absolutely love and recommend this product, as it leaves skin looking more refreshed! 

Correct skin imperfections with the INTENSIVE WHITENING DARK SPOT CORRECTING SERUM $88

This super lightweight, watery milk type serum is a highly concentrated formula of brightening active ingredients. Its extract of cherry blossom leaves with its strong moisturizing powers keeps skin hydrated and protected without looking greasy.

Diminish dark spots and moisturize with the BRIGHTENING MOISTURIZING EMULSION $65

This lotion is so light its more like a skin-milk than your run-of-the-mill moisturizer. It absorbs instantly and leaves your face looking hydrated (thanks to being chock full of hyaluronic acid) while rice powder absorbs excess sebum, leaving skin instantly matified without blocking the pores. 

Protect your skin from UV damage with the DAILY UV PROTECTOR SPF 30 PA +++ $45

Since receiving this product, I have been religiously using it every single day. Not just because it smells awesome and has a high SPF 30 protection against both UVA and UVB rays but mostly because it leaves my skin matte and velvety smooth, which in our humid climate is a huge plus!

With cocoa extract to reduce melanin and tyrosinase activity. Jasmine extract  to boost our skin's defense against free radicals. Vitamin E to protect the cells’ integrity and shea polyphenols to neutralize any aggression from heavy metals while detoxifying the cells, this sunscreen, offers great protection in a handy little bottle that can be slipped into even the smallest makeup pouch.

LADY@LXG: Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion!

Clinique launches the newly improved Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion!

Like Ms Dior was my first perfume which my mother presented me, Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion was my very first big-girl moisturizer. I remember walking around the beauty hall in the mall, completely in awe of all those shiny, pretty jars and tubes of magical lotions and potions and being too intimidated to approach the glamourous staff for help.

I think something in the Clinique counter caught my eye, because the next thing I knew, shyness all gone, I poured my skin care woes out to the very nice sales person who advised me to try their 3-step skin care regimen, which I did until my mid twenties when I was lured away by all the new shiny products available.

But I have to say that Clinique’s 3-step system helped fix my skin issues, and now maybe with the new improved version out, I might just go back to using this cult product once again.

The new improved version comes with added ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin and Urea to better help skin hold onto precious moisture. 

The end result? A balanced ratio of oil and water in the skin, so that it’s neither dry and irritated, nor greasy due to over-active oil glands, leaving you with clear, hydrated, calm and healthy skin. 

Not only has Clinique improved their cult favourite moisturiser, they have also slashed its price, so now a 50 ml tube of the new and improved moisturizing lotion retails at a mere $28 at any of their counters.

LADY@LXG: Laboratoires FILORGA

Renowned by dermatologists, aesthetic doctors and plastic surgeons in over 54 countries, Laboratoires FILORGA are recognized as the experts on cutaneous aging.

I have been terribly lax for not writing about this wonderful range of products sooner. When Filorga first came onto our shores late last year, I was terribly excited as I had heard much good things about the brand, but had never had the chance to actually try it. So as soon as I got my stubby little hands on the products I got immediately to work trying them out. 

For those of you who read my blog, you know that I have dehydrated but oily and sensitive skin, especially on my T-zone, so I try to stay away from commercial face washes as I find them to be a little harsh for my skin. Initially I have to admit that I was a bit wary to use the face wash, but since it is a part of the Filorga range I gave it a go and I am so glad that I did!  

MOUSSE DEMAQUILLANTE 150ml $   41.00. 

The first anti aging cleanser that dissolves the slightest traces of sebum, make-up and pollution while intensely hydrating the skin and protecting it from free radicals. 

In addition to an ultra-gentle latest-generation surfactant of plant origin, it features a high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, which plumps up and smoothes dehydration lines, and white Lily, which soothes irritation and protects the skin from free-radical attacks. 

The wash foams and just one pump or one-and-a-half is adequate to thoroughly cleanse your face and neck. It also strips away makeup and sunscreen, so I can finally skip my double-cleansing regime which was personally too time consuming and annoying to maintain. The wash keeps my skin clean but not tight which is why its my definite must-have from the range. 

SLEEP & PEEL 50ml $ 110.00

A cell renewal “booster”, this cream restores your skin’s radiance and softness while protecting it from premature aging. 

This is another definite must-have. I started using this on my face every night after I had a bout of breakouts which my usual zit cream did absolutely nothing to clear. The fact that this is actually a night cream cum peel is fabulous as I personally love products that multitask and make my life easier. After just one night’s application, my stubborn breakouts healed literally overnight. My skin looked more even-toned and smoother. Scars seemed to be lighter. It was definitely love at first application, so since then, I have been using my Sleep & Peel daily and my skin has been behaving itself and looking far less temperamental than usual. 

MESO MASK 50ml $   79.00

This mask has a light creamy texture. It leaves skin plumped and radiant and glowing. The power of mesotherapy in a mask!

Skin is plumped and signs of wrinkles and fatigue are erased. A definite must after an all nighter or before a big date or presentation!  

The rhamnose-containing polysaccharide soothes irritation and instantly and lastingly evens out and lightens up the complexion. NCTF®, Filorga’s exclusive core formula, stimulates cellular activity and collagen production. 

HYDRA FILLER 50ml $   94.00

This moisturizer contains a high concentration of extra-pure hyaluronic acid for deep skin rehydration and a micro-filling effect which is great on dehydration lines. It leaves skin comfortable and plumped.  Lines and wrinkles vanish, almost as if they have been ‘filled in’ and the skin looks younger and plumper, with makeup going on smoother.    

Two effective hyaluronic acids that act in synergy to deeply hydrate and plump up the skin:  High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid through deep hydrating action and the micro-filling of dehydration wrinkles and lines. Micro-fragmented hyaluronic acid to stimulate the production of collagen to plump up the skin.  A lipid-replenishing complex to boost epidermal production (+256%) and re-program the skin’s natural hydration process. 

SNEAK PEAK! Meso C launches in Singapore in February

With 8% pure Vitamin C kept fresh in an air tight and light resistant packaging, its properties are kept fresh with maximum efficacy until opened. Thoughtfully packaged in 3 separate bottles for use within a span of 1 month, rest assured ingredients are kept fresh until opened.

Look forward to brighter and rejuvenated skin when signs are tiredness are erased with Filorga Meso C.
