Instant hydration. Two best words ever. And it’s what this new Filorga Hydra-Hyal Hydrating Plumping Serum promises … and delivers! With five hyaluronic acids, it hydrates, smooths and plumps at a much deeper level than previous products, acts at all levels of the skin, creates a long-lasting, youth-enhancing effect, and significantly boosts your complexion’s radiance.
And with the brand’s patented NCEF formula, it helps create a smoother, more translucent skin. Suitable for all skin types, you’ll see all day hydration after just one application, after a week most women found their skin looked fresher and revitalised and more radiant, and after 28 days, their skin texture was smoother.

Glowing, healthy skin within a few weeks. And it only takes a couple of minutes a day to achieve. Count us in! Izumi Forasté Onuma grew up in Spain, but spent all her holidays with her maternal grandparents in Japan … a couple who followed disciplined routines. Once a little older, she and her sister spent hours exploring the make-up departments of Japanese stores, convinced it was the cosmetics that gave Japanese women such glorious skin. Later, she realised the rigorous routines most Japanese women follow when looking after their skin was actually what made all the difference. In Face Yoga, she shares 40 facial yoga exercises … a combination of exercises and massage techniques, which each work different areas of the face to enhance your skin’s overall firmness and luminosity. Face yoga, she says, reduces puffiness of the face, combats sagging, eliminates bags and dark circles as well as jowls, lifts the eyelids and opens up the eyes, reduces and prevents wrinkles and provides greater firmness. It also raises the corners of your mouth … instant expression enhancement! With step-by-step images, and plenty of tips and advice, it’s a wonderful book to help you achieve softer, brighter skin.
