flower serum ANTI-AGEING SERUM

What is a dry oil? It is a form of oil created on the basis of very light oily substances, in our case squalane from cane sugar. It has no burdensome fatty form and does not leave a tangible film on the skin. It provides an ideal balance between moisturising and a dry, silky feel. How do I use the oil in everyday care? We have several suggestions for how you can use our FLOWER YOURSELF oil. You can try each of them and see which works best in your care routine. Method 1. You can use the oil as a moisturising product by itself - put some onto the damp skin immediately after applying MINERAL SHOT mist or OVERNIGHT BEAUTY TRICK essence. Method 2. You can put the oil on under cream - its light emollients mean it won’t form a strong occlusal layer, so it can easily let the cream pass through into the skin. It will also strengthen its action and act as a moisturiser, blocking transepidermal water loss (TEWL) - the process of losing the skin’s natural moisture. Method 3. You can apply the oil on top of cream - then it will form an additional layer protecting the components of the cream against rapid oxidation, and give the cream extra moisturising and lipid supplementing strength. We especially recommend this option at night and for very dry and dehydrated skin. Method 4. You can mix the oil together with cream, it blends in easily to the formula and you obtain a product with a richer consistency which can be used as a night mask. Method 5. Mix two drops of oil with your favourite foundation (preferably mattifying), and the oil will partially balance out the matte effect with a natural glow. This means that the foundation is enriched with extra care properties. The oils mix very well with facial foundations. Apparently oil products should be applied to damp skin. Should FLOWER YOURSELF serum be applied in the same way? Our oil serums can be applied to both dry and damp skin. A product in the form of oil is simply easier to spread on a wet face. You use up less of it. Applying the serum to damp skin doesn’t mean that you have to wash your face with water before putting it on. Do it when you finish cleaning your skin, just after toning your skin, after MINERAL SHOT or OVERNIGHT BEAUTY TRICK for example. Does the oil have comedogenic properties, i.e. will it clog my skin? Comedogenicity, blocking pores, is an individual reaction of the skin which cannot be predicted. Our oil is composed in such a way that its comedogenicity is reduced to a minimum - specially for you, we’ve selected ultralight emollients with low comedogenic potential, and squalane from sugar cane. What is intelligent generation of vitamin C in FLOWER YOURSELF serum? This is a type of vitamin C which is far more stable than ascorbic acid, so you can be sure that after opening the cosmetic will not oxidise too quickly and will be active for the whole time you are using FLOWER YOURSELF. In addition, the intelligent form of vitamin C easily penetrates the skin due to its consistency similar to human sebum, and is very easily absorbed. The Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate we’ve created can be used in summer, even with sensitive skin. What concentration of vitamin C is in the oil? FLOWER YOURSELF contains 2% pure fat-soluble vitamin C. The oil form we use displays a very strong affinity to the skin’s lipid layer and enables deeper penetration by the vitamin C, resulting in increased effectiveness even with a very low concentration. This is one of the currently most effective and expensive forms of active L-ascorbic acid. Why is the serum in oil form? Our serum takes the form of a super-light oil because we know that this form of product has become a fixture in your beauty care rituals. Oleaginous forms of products are additionally very well tolerated by the skin. Our skin is particularly oleophilic and truly, deeply loves squalane, which is why you find it in VERY SUPERBERRY oil as well as FLOWER YOURSELF. If , however, this form is not for you, you can try out our MOOD’FLUENCER liposomal booster, which comes in the form of a light lotion. What’s the difference between FLOWER YOURSELF serum and VERY SUPERBERRY oil? The products are created on a similar base of super-light emollients and squalane (which your skin will love at first application), and contain the same amount of fat-soluble vitamin C. They vary in their additional active ingredients though. VERY SUPERBERRY oil contains an organic concentrate of extracts from guarana, acerola, sea buckthorn, cranberry and Amazonian camu camu - they revitalise the skin and give it energy for the fight against lifestyle stress, free radicals and the ageing process. FLOWER YOURSELF oil serum contains, as well as an elixir of 6 flowers and blossoms (jasmine, peony, Japanese cherry, bitter orange, lavender and elderberry), extract of microalgae with a hefty dose of lutein - a powerful antioxidant which supports the natural defensive functions of the skin, aids reconstruction, has powerful moisturising effects, and protects against premature ageing. The products also vary in their scents - FLOWER YOURSELF has stunning raspberry, violet and vanilla notes, while VERY SUPERBERRY has verbena, lemon and a hint of orange.
