Anne Semonin is a French skincare brand founded over 30 years ago and works on the philosophy that ''each skin is unique''. When you read that iconic beauties such as Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve went to Anne Semonin for facials, I am wanting to know what products from the range caught their attention.
The first product within my stash is the Anne Semonin's Express Radiance Eye Cubes. Described as being perfect for soothing stressed, irritated eyes whilst firming and nourishing the delicate eye area, I pretty much need these in my life right now. Outside of blogging, I have an incredibly busy and stressful job and I spend many hours looking at a computer/laptop screen merrily typing away.
Enriched with Marine spring water and hyaluronic acid hydrate and condition, ginkgo biloba come together to help stimulate micro-circulation as gourd extract alleviates inflammation and puffiness. Then with the use of Bioflavonoids which dramatically improve the appearance of dark circles, your eyes instantly appear brighter, tighter and well rested.
If you are a fan of using cucumber slices on your eyes as a method of soothing, then these Express Radiance Eye Cubes are going to blow your mind. Designed to be stored in the freezer, these Eye Cubes not only soothe and refresh tired, puffy eyes but the freezing temperature really helps to accelerate drainage to eliminate toxins whilst at the same time maximise the skin's absorption of topical products, for optimal efficacy and immediate benefit. What's more, they are really easy to use. Remove them from the freezer and wrap the tube in the supplied gauze bag and then simply apply it around the eye contour area as well as directly over the eyelid. As you do so, the coolness is so incredibly refreshing and soothing. Priced at £45 for a pack of 6, you can find them at Cult Beauty here.
The second product I have been using from the Anne Semonin range is the Exfoliating Mask which is designed to rid your skin of dead skin cells, excess oils and bacteria. Restoring the skin’s natural balance, the face mask will gently smooth the texture of your skin and reveal a bright, radiant complexion!
This mask is enriched with red seaweed which exfoliates dead cells, absorbs impurities and sebaceous secretions alongside the use of kaolin which absorbs excess oil and mattifies the skin. Bringing these ingredients together, this mask is described as being a double-action mask which removes dead skin cells and brightens the complexion.
So you can use this product in two ways - as an exfoliator or as a mask. To exfoliate you simply only need a very thin layer which you leave on your face and neck for up to 2 minutes before wiping away any excess using a damp cloth. As a mask, again you repeat the process above but leave on the skin for up to ten minutes before wiping away using a damp cloth. What I love about this mask is that it can be used in one of two ways depending upon how much time you have, used either way it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch, it isn't dry or taut. Priced at £43 for 75ml here.
