Filorga Lift Range. From the age of 40, the collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis processes slow down, and this has multiple consequences that can be seen when you look in the mirror: the cheeks become hollow, the cheekbones are less prominent, the features collapse and become lined, the face shape appears less defined, and the skin begins to droop. The result? Your face seems less dynamic and your expressions appear sad or stern. Now the new range from Filorga promises sagging skin is a problem of the past! Plasmatic lifting factors, cellular factors, collagen and hyaluronic acid come together to combine injectable facelift techniques in a core cosmetic cream formula, to reshape the features, plump the skin and sculpt the volumes through massage. Available at leading pharmacists.

Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting Mask. For 2018, Lancôme set itself a challenge: to come up with a single sheet mask containing the same amount of Bifidus extracts as a whole bottle of Advanced Génifique! And so, the Hydrogel Melting Mask was born. A new type of sheet mask, it delivers results which are instantly visible on the skin.
At its core, the mask contains the star ingredients of Advanced Génifique serum: probiotic extracts, of which Bifidus is the most concentrated.Helping to strengthen the skin’s barrier function by improving its quality and resistance to external stress, it also helps provide the skin with intense hydration. An advanced microscopic technology was developed to optimise the mask’s penetration thanks to a special, heat-sensitive hydrogel mesh, which melts into a fluid at skin temperature and releases its active ingredients on contact. In a test group, 89 per cent of women reported smoother skin. Available at leading retailers.
Bourjois Velvet Nudes by Noha Nabil. The French brand has collaborated with Kuwaiti entrepreneur and influencer Noha Nabil to create The Velvet Nude Collection consisting of four exclusive nude hues specially crafted to cater to the Middle Eastern woman.

When developing the line Noha was influenced by creamy chocolate blocks, drizzling caramel, peach tartes and violet macaroons, and worked together with the Bourjois team to create her new collection. And, being an extension to the Rouge Velvet range, means the new shades are matte, long-lasting and easy to apply with the tip being high in precision. Available at leading retailers.
