If you've spent time in Paris, you know it's true: most chic Parisiennes don't use many cosmetics, but they are sticklers about skincare. A leading French skincare brand is Sampar - embraced by non-French celebs like Sigourney Weaver, Claire Danes, Kirsten Dunst, and Eva Green - which uses cutting-edge ingredients with proven effectiveness at peak concentrations for both instant gratification and long-lasting results.
Their Nocturnal Lifting Mask is one of the Urban Advance products developed by Patrick Sounigo, the
founder of Sampar, a specialist in medical cosmetology for over 20 years; it uses an exclusively-developed, powerful antioxidant complex to fight the pollution and free radicals that come with city life. "83% of all city dwellers love their city," they note. "100% would like more beautiful, radiant skin… everyday, everywhere."
Why do we love this product?
It has the advantage of being both an anti-aging AND lifting night cream (one or two less products to apply), plus the ingenious packaging prevents bacteria from forming inside the jar. And you leave it on overnight; during the day the primary function of the skin cells is to defend themselves and protect the body, so it is at night - between midnight and 4am - that they recover and repair. Thankfully the Sampar Mask is colorless and melts into the skin, so if you are not sleeping alone, your face is natural, not a fright.
So even if you're one of those busy, on-the-go Americaines, now it's easy to make like all those flawlessly-complected French woman who rely on frequent masks to boost their skincare regime. Available at Sampar.com.
