La Prairie has launched Soleil Suisse Sun Defense Système. Powered by the brand’s science-driven biotechnology, the new range goes beyond the conventional sun-protection offerings.
Powerful sunscreens, anti-oxidants, moisturisers, earth and sea-derived elements and the brand’s exclusive Cellular Complex figure prominently among the proactive ingredients that have gone into the end product, effectively neutralising the toxic tendencies of environmental pollutants and preventing premature skin ageing. Instantly absorbed, they give the skin a glow.
There are three key products in the Soleil Suisse Sun Defense Système range. With an SPF of 30 or higher, these not only safeguard the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays with highly effective filters but also offer detoxifying anti-oxidants. At the same they moisturise and nourish the skin with sea-sourced minerals.
Sun Protection Emulsion Face SPF 30, formulated to protect the most exposed, most vulnerable part of the body, guards against the sun’s age-accelerating UVA and UVB rays and diffuses potential damage from environmental pollutants with anti-oxidants from the red algae Porphyra umbilicalis. The lightweight emulsion is rich in anti-ageing agents and features a blend of emollients that keeps the skin moisturised and protected.
Sun Protection Lotion Body SPF 30 provides the same high level of sun and anti-oxidant protection to the rest of your body, while nourishing and moisturising the skin.
Ultra Protection Stick Eye, Lip, Nose SPF 40 ratchets the sun protection factor up even higher to provide an extra dose of protection to the most sensitive regions of the face. It lightly and invisibly covers often-neglected areas – including the ear lobes – with a protective barrier that keeps harmful UVA and UVB rays out and beneficial moisture in. This sleek, portable swivel-stick is practical for frequent touch-ups.
Soothing After Sun Mist Face, Body is an excellent antidote to sun-parched skin. Enriched with minerals and soothing botanical extracts, this gentle mist helps restore the skin’s equilibrium, while instantly diminishing redness and calming irritability. Its action is enhanced by Boerhavia Diffusa root extract, which relieves the skin’s sensitivity.
Complementing this calming action, a botanical moisturising agent counteracts dryness with intensive 24-hour hydration, while sea-sourced minerals, including calcium and zinc, keep the skin supple and well-nourished.
Detoxifying red algae provide protection against environmental pollutants, major contributors to premature skin ageing. La Prairie’s Cellular Complex supports the skin’s natural renewal process.
Gradual Tanning Lotion Face, Body takes time but the results are worth the wait. Designed to produce the most perfect tan, it acts safely and naturally. Formulated with dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a self-tanning agent that reacts with the amino acids in the upper layer of the skin, its self-tanning action becomes visible after about two hours.
A second self-tanning agent, erythrulose, complements the effect of DHA to produce a long-lasting uniform tone, totally free of streaking. Designed for daily, year-round use, Gradual Tanning Lotion Face, Body also provides mineral-enriched hydration, in addition to soothing and softening the skin and protecting it against environmental stress factors.
