If you are already acquainted with this amazing French cult brand, then chances are you would have heard about the mystic and rather enigmatic "Finishing Serums". These are a special, unique group of serums sharing similar characteristics: Large molecule size - Finishing serums are not meant to be absorbed into skin as our regular serums tend to do. They were built to sit on top of skin as a protective shield, not allowing external attackers (pollution, free radicals etc) to invade our nicely primed skin. Sophisticated and complex formulations - They may look tiny but are anything but. Once applied, they...

What is congested skin? Congested skin is marked by clogged skin (tiny bumps), large pores and blackheads. Many do not quite "mature" to a pimple with a "head" but look uneven, bumpy and gives rise to lack-lustre skin.

Plus my skin never felt it could breathe wearing foundation; and if anyone NEEDS to breathe,...

Antioxidants are our first line of defense in anti-ageing as it prevents first signs of pigmentation, dark spots, fine lines and textural changes in skin. Just when we think sunscreen is enough for that, think again. We are constantly exposed to not only UV radiation, but also pollution, ozone, and other harmful visible and non-visible forms of radiation. The role of Antioxidants is a powerful one - they neutralize the damaging effects of free radical reactions that transpire under the surface of our skin.   The problem for me and many others is that until now, it has been challenging finding...
