By the contents of the girl’s cosmetic bag, you can quite accurately determine the time of year. If sunscreens, light texture products and anti-pigmentation formulas appeared in it, then summer is on its way. Are you ready for the hot season?
The main thing is not to wash it off: Garnier Hair Serum Spray
In the Garnier Fructis “SOS Keratin” line, dedicated to damaged stripes, a new one has appeared – restoring leave-in care, spray serum.
Responsible for the restorative effect:
amla oil, which strengthens the hair and makes it silky;
vegetable keratin, restoring the strength and elasticity of damaged hair – it consists of amino acids derived from rice and soy proteins, and mimics the properties of natural keratin found in hair.
Serum spray for damaged hair Fructis “SOS Keratin”, Garnier applied in different ways with the same result:
on clean, damp hair before drying / styling – the hair will be easier to style, and the hairstyle will keep its shape longer;
on dry hair after styling for extra care and frizz control;
during the day, to remove fluffiness, the spray dries quickly and perfectly copes with protruding, stray hairs.

1+1: two Vichy Liftactiv serums
Are you familiar with the concept of exposure factor? Just in case, we recall what it is in relation to the skin.
Exposome factor is any external or internal influence that affects the condition of the skin. The Vichy brand is considered an expert in the study of exposure factors, which include:
external environment (temperature changes, air pollution, solar radiation);
lifestyle (stress, lack of sleep, bad habits);
hormonal surges.
All these phenomena can change the life of the skin not for the better, but there is good news, or rather two – Vichy serums, each of which fights the negative effects of exposure factors in its own way.
Let’s start with the absolute novelty – complex action serum with vitamin B3 against pigmentation and wrinkles Liftactiv Specialist.

You already know without a hint what exposome factors lead to premature skin aging and the appearance of such unpleasant phenomena on the face as age spots and wrinkles. Everything is correct:
ultra-violet rays;
bad ecology.
Solar radiation stimulates increased production of melanin pigment, which is often distributed unevenly in the skin, accumulating in separate areas. These melanin islands are age spots.
And now for the good news – Vichy laboratories have created a new formula to successfully combat age spots, wrinkles and uneven complexion. Composed of:
niacinamide (vitamin B3) at a concentration of 3% – makes age spots less noticeable, affects the transport of melanin in skin cells;
vitamin C – evens out skin tone, has an antioxidant effect, protects the epidermis from oxidative stress;
- peeling complex with glycolic acid – exfoliate the skin, promote cell renewal, lighten age spots;
peptides – promote collagen synthesis and smooth wrinkles.
The second good news from Vichy is concentrated serum with vitamin C for skin radiance Liftactiv Supreme.
This serum is a more advanced version of the already familiar Liftactiv vitamin C concentrate. What’s new?
The most obvious change is the look. The new format completely repeats the bottle of the serum described above and the Liftactiv Supreme hyaluronic filler – we wrote about it here.

After opening the bottle, a dropper dispenser is put on the neck, which helps to measure the product without contact and “dispenses” the texture literally drop by drop – you decide how many “doses” you need. 2-3 drops are recommended for the entire face.
As for the formula, vitamin C continues to be its star, an antioxidant that fights oxidative stress and its effects, including uneven skin tone and dullness, and stimulates collagen production. Here this component is presented in a high concentration of 15%.
It is known that vitamin C is not an easy ingredient, as it oxidizes quickly, but in this formula, you can not worry about its stability. Supported by other antioxidants:
vitamin E;
pycnogenol, which stimulates the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
Also included in the composition is hyaluronic acid, which smoothes the skin, gives it elasticity. There are no fragrances in the product.
It is recommended to apply the serum once a day and (if using during the day) be sure to apply sun protection with a high SPF on top of it. Already after 10 days, you can expect the first bright results – radiant skin and a more even complexion. Time has gone.
Protecting problematic skin from La Roche-Posay
The warm season is not the easiest time for oily problem skin prone to acne: active solar radiation, heat, sweat can increase sebum secretion and provoke an increase in the number of comedones and imperfections. Of course, such skin needs to be protected from ultraviolet radiation, using powerful sunscreens, but at the same time, choose a formula with a comfortable texture and, at a minimum, non-comedogenic ingredients.
La Roche-Posay in the Anthelios line has a tool that can simultaneously protect problematic skin, fight existing imperfections and prevent new ones, and also provide a mattifying effect for 12 hours.
Cellox -B3 Tech™ is a technology based on the use of the patented Mexoryl XL sunscreen, enhanced with the antioxidant properties of La Roche-Posay thermal water, vitamins B3 and E. It protects skin cells from damage caused by exposure to UVA and UVB rays, IR- radiation and polluted air.
Salicylic Acid + Niacinamide helps to reduce imperfections and prevents the appearance of new ones.
Zinc and Airlicium™ take control of provocateurs of oily sheen (sebum, sweat), mattify, reduce the visibility of pores.
