I feel like I’m always reading about celebrities loving one Decleor product or another. Oprah is a fan (as is Beauty Snob Kelly!), of Decleor’s Vitaroma Body ($80) and just recently Christina Aguilera told In Style that she loves Decleor’s Ylang Ylang Night Balm ($69). No matter what I may think about Christina’s style, makeup and hair decisions, there’s no denying her beautiful complexion (even if it’s freakishly pale!). While I haven’t tried the Ylang Ylang Night Balm, after reading about it I recently tried their Radiance Revealing Peel-off Mask ($42). I’m not a fan of mud masks, so this one appealed to me because it’s very thin. Actually it’s so thin I had trouble getting it off because you almost can’t see where on your face it is! The mask sort of comes off in pieces (versus one clean swoop), and my skin felt a little tingly afterward, but it dries fast and you only have to leave it on for 7-8 minutes. Though it’s not perfect, the mask is a quick and easy way to nourish your skin in addition to any morning and nighttime routines. Also if you have trouble getting the mask off you can use their Tonifying Lotion. Full ingredient details after the jump!
Ingredients:
Lupin Lipopeptides – obtained from the seeds of the White Lupin Flower, this extract improves microcirculation by dilating the blood capillaries and making it easier for the blood to flow through these tiny blood vessels. The skin reflects the light thoroughly and gives off a healthy, rosy glow.
Fig Gel – rich in sugar and malic acid, the gel moisturizes the skin and creates an invisible film over the skin to limit skin dehydration keeping the surface soft and smooth.
Essential Oils of Grapefruit, Petitgrain and Lemon – detoxify and purify the skin by limiting the development of bacteria.
Protective Agent & Vitamin Complex – a combination of Flavonoids, Orange Extract and Vitamins E & A that protects the skin lipids from oxidation by trapping free radicals from harmful external elements.
Vectorised Minerals – captured into tiny capsules to heighten the delivery process to the skin, this cell energizing complex of minerals, magnesium, copper and zinc, generates a fresh and luminous complexion by aiding the production of ATP, a source of energy for cells, and keeps the skin supple and elastic by promoting the synthesis of keratin, collagen and elastin.
Vitamin Complex (Esters of Vitamins A and E) – the antioxidant and anti-free radical properties prevent the breakdown of skin lipids that are essential for keeping skin moisturized. The vitamin complex enhances the skin’s radiance by promoting cell renewal.
Vitamin F – full of essential fatty acids, helps restore the skin barrier and keeps skin supple.
Provitamin B5 – moisturizes and soothes irritated skin.
Seriously? “Freakishly pale?” How would you feel if I said that Alek Wek was “freakishly dark?”
Christina isn’t even that pale compared to say Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson (esp in the lates D&G ad), and Liv Tyler. She’s AT LEAST an N20 for chrissakes!!
Seems silly to have a comment like “freakishly pale” under a post about how over-tanning ruined Donatella’s look. So hypocritical.
Point taken though I actually did not mean anything negative by it. If you read the rest of what I wrote, I wrote that Christina has a beautiful complexion — hence my trying this product! I myself am very pale..probably even more so than Christina, Anne etc…I tend to jokingly refer to myself as freakishly pale or ghost-like so that’s where it came from ..
I love the Decleor line and that ylang ylang night balm is one of my can’t-do-without items!
I just got my Tonifying Lotion today – coincidence, much?!
Oh, you should really try the Prolagene Gel that heals the skin – great as a “i’m lazy to put on moisturizer, but need something on my face” kinda day.
