The new Creme ISO Placenta is specifically formulated to address all these issues with an innovative new biomimetic placenta ingredient. The new formula is 100% Vegan, 100% Cruelty Free and 100% Plant Based.

Biologique Recherche Crème ISO Placenta is an intensive renovating treatment that revitalizes and purifies skin damage. Biologique Recherche Crème ISO Placenta regenerates the epidermis, nourishes and repairs skin damage caused by the sun, acne breakouts and other environmental factors. It provides intense reconstruction for weakened and damaged skin, reduces pigment imperfections, energizes and hydrates the top layers of the epidermis to help with skin elasticity.

How to use Biologique Recherche Creme Masque Vernix

To use as a face cream apply a thin layer of Biologique Recherche Crème Masque Vernix over the entire face in the morning and/or the evening after using the recommended cleansing milk and Lotion P50. For more intensive results you can also use this cream as a face mask. To get a mask effect, apply a thick layer after cleansing. Leave on your face for about 10 minutes, then delicately remove any excess with a damp cotton pad.

Biologique Recherche VIP 02 "Anti-Pollution" Skincare Collection. Harsh climates and urban city environments with heavy pollution can wreak havoc on your skin. City pollution can have severe consequences for your skin’s overall health and condition. The daily attack of these environmental elements will disturb the skin’s balance and, ultimately, its overall appearance. It is critical to understand and address these issues to maintain your best skin ever.

Although you may have no choice in the environmental effects and pollution where you live and work, there is hope to help protect your skin from premature aging. The cumulative effects of a properly prescribed skincare protectant program can make all the difference in the world. Acne, pre-mature aging, and dehydration are all common symptoms of exposure to city pollution on a daily basis. The results typically present themselves with redness, a dull complexion, dry skin, eczema, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. The Biologique Recherche VIP 02 Anti-Pollution Skincare System was specifically formulated to address all of these concerns. This Biologique skin care and hair care system works on three levels to purify, detoxify, and protect the skin.

PURIFY

The first step is to purify the skin and cleanse away the polluting particles. The objective here is to eliminate polluting particles, which are often smaller than your pore size, making it easier for them to get trapped and affect your skin. Step one in the Biologique skin care system is a deep cleanse to eliminate any accumulation of pollutants, dirt, debris, oils, and dead skin cells on the epidermis. The recommended cleanser for this step is the Biologique Recherche Lait VIP 02 Face Cleanser. The same attention should be given to your hair and scalp as most of these same issues apply. The Shampoo Traitant VIP 02 is an excellent choice to gently cleanse the hair follicle and purify the scalp. This shampoo works on the same concept as the VIP 02 face cleanser. Purifying and balancing the scalp is one of the most important factors in growing healthy, shiny hair. This should not be forgotten or ignored.

Detoxify

The second step in this anti-pollution system is to detoxify the skin by neutralizing the pollution. The objective is to capture the polluting agents in the skin and neutralize them to limit their access to the skin and the long-term harmful effects they can have on the skin. The detoxifying active botanical ingredients help to repair the skin, eliminate cell waste, and replenish vital proteins and lipids back to the skin. After cleansing the skin, you can begin the detoxification phase with a masque followed by a face and eye cream. The Biologique Recherche Masque VIP 02 soothes and revitalizes stressed skin by replenishing moisture and stimulating cell growth. Follow with the Crème VIP 02 Face Cream and the Contour Des Yeux VIP 02 Eye Cream. Both will brighten dull skin complexions, tone, moisturize, and naturally protect the skin’s epidermis against harsh environmental agents.

Protect

The third and final step with the system is to protect the skin with an anti-pollution shield. The objective is to limit polluting sediments on the skin’s surface and to form a protective barrier for the skin to block polluting agents' penetration of the epidermis. Use and application of The Biologique Recherche Fluid VIP 02 Finishing Serum after applying your face and eye cream will stimulate the epidermis, replenish moisture, and trap oxygen at the surface of the skin to protect skin throughout the day. The result is a brighter complexion, smoother skin, and a visibly more radiant glow.

Skincare Products For Fresh Skin This Summer

Lotion P50

Healthy skin starts with exfoliation so the new cells emerge on the surface. Lotion P50 removes dead cells and impurities. It also reconditions skin with active ingredients such as A-H-A, P-H-A & BH-A, Cider Vinegar and more. Snag Lotion P50 in a travel size convenient for summer vacations, or go for the 8.4 oz bottle to keep at home.

Protection U.V.

Skin protection is essential when the summer sun rays beat down harsher than other times of the year. Protection U.V. is SPF 25, which gives you a healthy balance between tanning and skin protection. This light, 100 percent natural formula protects your skin from UVA, UVB, and infrared rays.

Serum Biosensible

If you accidentally let your tan get a little too red and are now suffering from a burn, you’ll love the soothing and repairing effects of Serum Biosensible. It restructures and reinforces the epidermis, reduces sensitivity, and provides a comforting sensation.

Reparation U.V.

Like the Serum Biosensible, Reparation U.V. is good to have around after a day of sunbathing. It calms irritation, fights free radicals and glycation, and prevents peeling.

Creme Hydravit’s

The sun is known to dry out skin quickly, so a few good moisturizing products will help keep your skin soft and fresh. Creme Hydravit’s has a long-lasting hydrating effect that protects against increased humidity, dehydration, and intense UV radiation.

Masque Visolastine

This white clay mask helps combat dehydrated skin with long-lasting moisturizing action thanks to the active hydrating and lipid-replenishing active ingredients. Masque Visolastine is like a quick 15-minute facial that leaves skin comfortable all day.

Creme Contour des Yeux Biosensible

There’s more to protecting your eyes this summer than wearing your favorite pair of Ray-Bans. Creme Contour des Yeux Biosensible soothes the sensitive skin that surrounds eyes.

Biokiss

If you’ve ever had a sunburn on your lips, you know it can be one of the most painful places to damage your skin. That’s why Biokiss protects and repairs your lips while it moisturizes using plant-based polyglycerides.

L’Eauxygénante

Have you been to Disney World on a hot summer day and felt the instantly refreshing mist from the sprayers in the line? You can feel refreshed like that without traveling to Florida with L’Eauxygénante, a mist that stimulates the epidermis and gives an instant feeling of freshness! It is a moisturizing, antioxidant, and oxygenating mist that protects and refreshes.

Lotion P50 Corps and/or Gommage P50 Corps

Both Lotion P50 Corps and Gommage P50 Corps are effective exfoliating products that can be used simultaneously. Lotion P50 Corps gets rid of dead skin cells as it balances the pH of your skin to help encourage healthy rejuvenating skin. Gommage P50 Corps is a double-exfoliating product that can be used weekly for an extra bit of love to clear your skin during the summer.

Crème R-Stria and Crème B-Stria

Now that you’ve properly exfoliated and moisturized, it’s time to target problem areas. These two products help prevent and reduce stretch marks. Crème R-Stria prevents and alleviates red stretch marks by decreasing inflammation, while Crème B-Stria reduces white stretch marks and stimulates skin repair.

Lipogen AC

Get rid of pesky cellulite by treating the cause and the visible aspects with Lipogen AC. The active ingredients in this spray drains water and toxins while it increases blood circulation. Together, these get rid of “the orange peel” effect from cellulite and pits.

Crème Anti-C

Caffeine is a substance known to help reduce cellulite. Crème Anti-C is a caffeine-rich product that can be used as often as twice a day. Apply it directly to the areas with cellulite and watch the skin firm and tighten before your eyes.

Huile Jambes Lourdes

Infuse your body with a smart blend of essential oils to help soothe tired and heavy legs. Huile Jambes Lourdes achieves this relaxing effect with lemon, cypress, sage, mint, and rosemary oils.

Crème Défatigante

If the Huile Jambes Lourdes doesn’t seem to work for you, try Crème Défatigante to help your legs feel fresh and light instantly. The active ingredients in this cream are an energizing treatment that also prevents tired legs.

Huile Bénéfique

If you want one product that can change your summer, you need Huile Bénéfique. This spray can be used on your face, body, and in your hair. It is an all-in-one nourishing spray made with essential oils that enhance your tan, make your skin softer, and leave your hair glossy. It can be used daily.

Biologique Recherche Body Massage Glove

For best results, it’s recommended to use the BR Body Massage Glove with all body products to optimize results. It’s like visiting the spa every time you take a shower - what a great way to spend the summer.

Summer is right around the corner and that means hours of soaking up the rays, lounging by the pool, and working on your beach bod.

Inside Hook recently published a great article about “a beach workout you can do for your face” to keep up with your handsome look all summer long.

It’s too good not to share. Here’s the gist.

It’s best to prepare your skin during the spring and early summer before the hot summer months of July and August beat viciously on your skin. During June, try out these five tips for the best skin care preparation. Then during July and August, remember to protect your skin from the harmful sun rays.

Inside Hook compiled these tips from experts in the skincare industry who keep men in mind for their services and products.

Five Spring Skincare Tips For Men

Microneedling

Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that stimulates new collagen growth through a fine needle treatment, much like acupuncture. Men tend to benefit from microneedling because you are less likely to use skin protectants, so your skin shows signs of aging and damage quicker. Collagen is a natural element created by the body that gives the skin an elastic and young look. Dr. Sejal Shah is the expert on microneedling and offers her treatment at SmarterSkin Dermatology.

Botox and Fillers

Botox and fillers are often skincare treatments that get made fun of in movies; however, when done correctly they are a great therapy to add to your preparation routine. To get rid of wrinkles and to eliminate other aging signs, experts can inject either a hyaluronic acid filler or neurotoxin into your skin. This lasts anywhere from four months to a year, depending on which type of filler is used and the severity of the damage in place before treatment.

Laser Genesis

With lasers firing at your face, it may seem like you’d rather skip this treatment than head to the spa; however, RN Shelly Marshall says, “compared to microneedling, it is way less invasive and can be done with no discomfort or downtime.” Essentially, a dermatologist will use a high powered laser to purposefully damage the top layer of skin, which stimulates new collagen growth. New collagen means a more youthful appearance.

LED

LED, or light emitting diodes, were invented and originally used by NASA; however, we commonly hear of them when talking about modern technology, such as our cell phones and televisions. When used for skin care, specialists use LED exposure to activate younger-looking qualities. Red LED light waves help heal inflammation, reduce acne, and activate collagen. Blue light waves release oxygen into the skin, which is known to help kill bacteria that leads to acne.

Facials

While your typical skincare routine is beneficial and just about like a facial, a visit to the spa means access to advanced esthetics using medical-grade products and experts. Paul Labrecque is the facial expert in NYC. He recommends facials for men because you tend to have more oily skin than women and says facials help balance out the pH levels. At Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa, the Gentlemen’s Deep Cleanse Facial is a top pick. Then, you can keep up with your in-house facial at home with Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. According to Paul Labrecque, Lotion P50 “is great for balancing the skin’s pH levels, and it helps with any acne issues and also minimizes razor burn and ingrown hairs. It really is a miracle product.” You can schedule a facial with Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa in NYC or order Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 to prepare your skin with facials this spring.

So once your skin is fully prepared for the summer, it’s important to remember to use sunscreen and other skin protectants to make sure all of your hard work during the spring isn’t immediately reversed.
