Also, be gentle with your other habits: showering with very hot water, drying your face roughly, and using abrasive cleansers will invariably make red skin redder, which is counterproductive.

Melatonin completes the formula. Sucrose esters and phosphatidylcholine form tiny spheres that distribute the active ingredients effectively, while together they strengthen the lipid barrier on the surface of your skin.

Your skin often looks fresher and smoother after that week—which is real—but it won't last for months if you do nothing afterwards. In the salon, I like to use this treatment as a stepping stone to something more structural, such as the Tensage Serum. What I also always tell people: do the treatment at a time when you can truly commit to it, not during a week when you are out three nights. Seven consecutive evenings do more than seven ampoules spread over two months. And don't forget your décolleté; that is the area where sun damage shows itself first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWould you like to know if such a treatment makes sense for your skin right now?
