La Prairie tells a truly magnificent creation story with its latest line of products, the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream and Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil. Discovered high up in the Swiss Alps, where ice and snow canvas the entire terrain, the purple saxifrage, soldanella alpina, and Swiss snow algae survive through the harshest of winters and miraculously blossom in a bevy of beautiful shades when the spring arrives, a stark contrast to the frigid temperatures of winter’s domain. Through the amazing execution of patent-pending biotechnology, La Prairie scientists were able to extract DNA from these inspiring plants and deposit them in a way in which they can help skin protect itself from the signs of aging.
The new development for this launch, the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex, is dedicated to preserving the renewal potential of skin stem cells, aiding in skin renewal, fortifying the skin’s defense system against oxidative stress, combating free radicals and protecting mitochondrial DNA, which keeps the cellular energy supply in place.November 8, 2013
The Latest in Beauty Technology & Luxury, from the Lovely La Prairie
Taking care of your skin for the long haul is one of the most important things you can do for it, and La Prairie makes sure it delivers the most incredible ingredients and results to redefine the way you think about skin care products. This fall brings several new products into the fold, and I had the fortunate experience of testing them at the renowned La Prairie Spa at the Ritz-Carlton. La Prairie, of Swiss heritage and now celebrating 25 years creating state-of-the-art beauty products, takes a serious, scientific and thorough approach to beauty with patented, exclusive formulas that only bring you the best of the best, so that you can be rest assured you are getting a tremendous product within it’s elegant and polished packaging.
Without further ado, here’s the lineup of new items that you will want to dip into:
Skin Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask ($300)
Sweet dreams darlings; when you wake up, regardless of how many hours you actually got of deep sleep you got last night, your skin will be effected by the hard-working sleep mask. It will enhance firmness with caviar extracts, plump lines, smooth texture, brighten with carica papaya, and fully hydrate with cupuacu seed butter all the while you are resting. This innovative, hard working clean also smells deliriously good, which will lull you into an aromatic state of relaxation while you are using the small paint brush to apply it all over your face.
Skin Caviar Luxe Soufflé Body Cream ($300)
Bursting with amino acids, minerals, and vitamins, the body cream is a perfect accompaniment to the sleep mask (or try the limited edition 30ml Skin Caviar Luxe Skin Cream, $265), suggested to be used within THREE minutes of washing, so that the skin is moist and supple to best receive the product. You really can use it all over your body, applying morning and/or evening, as a treat that will be appreciated, thanks to the slight exfoliation found via the willow bark extract and the algae extracts and caffeine to aid in improving circulation and firming. Just like the sleep mask, you can let it work wonders while you are catching some Zs!
