Jan Marini Transformation Cream

By

Have you been eager to try Jan Marini’s Transformation Face Cream or Serum? Well we have been on the edge of our seats, and now you can receive a FREE eye cream ($60) with purchase. If this isn’t a sizzling summer steal then I don’t know what is.

Jan Marini Transformation Face Cream goes beyond simple hydration by reducing the visible signs of aging while providing superb hydration to the skin after just one use. With it’s luxurious peptide and antioxidant solution this face cream is vitality in a jar.

The Jan Marini Transformation Serum is a lightweight solution that repairs damage through Transformation Growth factors. This face serum diminishes the look of dulling, damaged skin while leaving the skin noticeably smoother with a silky softness after one application.

Jan Marini Transformation Eye Cream is an anti-aging peptide mixture with hyaluronic acid that dramatically decreases signs of aging around the eyes, promoting skin cell growth while restoring youthfulness to the eyes.

Hydra 3Ha Skincare by SOTHYS

By

A revolutionary moment in skincare brought to you by SOTHYS. With the main active ingredient being two molecular weights of Hyaluronic acid, Hydra 3Ha provides deep hydration and immediately penetrates the skin without leaving heavy residue. This rejuvenating new line of anti-aging skincare was explained while the Hydra 3Ha facial was demonstrated at our last salon event by the French skincare expert Caroline Rushworth. Skin appears smoother and visibly younger after being enveloped in this creamy line of skincare gaining up to 71% moisture after one use.

SOTHYS has perfected the absorption of Hyaluronic acid into the skin, reducing natural water loss and utilizing the quenching active ingredient, 1055 boletus extract, to permeate and hydrate no matter the skin type. Boletus extract originates from mushrooms, making it one of the most unassuming yet most effective secret weapons in anti-aging skincare. Ironically, cèpe is a common French ingredient in many recipes meaning “large edible mushroom”. Leave it to the French to be cooking with their youthful boletus extract for years! No wonder they’ve stayed so vibrant after all these years…

Are you as anxious to try these new products as we are? The Hydra 3Ha Discovery Kit ($28-a one month supply) includes the Gel Cream Light Texture, Comfort Cream, and the Smoothing Anti-Wrinkle Mask.

Mia FIT Clarisonic Travel Brush

By

Bonjour mes amis~

I want to share with you our latest tool at the salon. It is the Mia Fit Clarisonic Travel Brush and I absolutely love it. It’s perfect for throwing in my purse to wash off my makeup after work so I’m fresh faced for the gym and it doesn’t take up more than a smidge of counter space. The Mia can hold the longest charge out of all the Clarisonic brushes AND it cleanses 6X better than what I can do with only my fingers. My skin is extremely reactive and sensitive which makes the Mia a great match for me. It has a Delicate setting which allows me to use it twice a day without over-agitating my skin and I get that deep cleanse my skin needs after wearing makeup and accumulating the natural oils my pores produce throughout the day. This palm-sized wonder is TSA approved and fantastic for traveling, my sister is a sales representative for a company and travels non-stop so this would be a perfect gift for her so she can continue her beauty regimen while on-the-go. Come and get your very own Mia Fit today before they’re all gone.

Receive a FREE C-Esta Gel Cleanser by Jan Marini ($30 value) with purchase as well as a very cute travel bag 🙂

  5. Aging
  6. True
  7. 90%- of non melanoma skin cancers are associated with UV radiation.

Take care of all your skincare needs with Jan Marini Skin Research Skin Care Management System

By

 

Would you add 2 steps to your skin care routine if it gets you better results? And, over 20% OFF…Always!

Managing a detailed skincare regimen is not always easy – as busy women, it is difficult sometimes to remember the routine, much less find the time to put it into action. But A French Touch Parisian Skincare Salon and Jan Marini Skin Research are here to help! With the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System, skincare is broken down into five simple, customized steps using the latest clinically validated technology.

1. Deep Cleanse

Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser is a gentle cleanser that encourages a smoother skin texture by using the  follicular cleansing  action of glycolic acid and is perfect for acne-prone skin.  The formula is soap-free and non-irritating, leaving the skin naturally hydrated.

2. Rejuvenate

    C-ESTA Face Serum is a non-comedogenic, powerful antioxidant formula that will show quick improvements in the skin’s surface by appearing smoother, firmer and tighter.  Your skin will look more even-toned and younger when using this product.

3. Resurface

Bioglycolic Bioclear Lotion offers remarkable anti-aging and skin resurfacing properties that help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne and rosacea.  Follicle size will reduce dramatically and a younger luminous skin will be revealed.

4. Hydrate

Transformation Face Cream will help rebuild and repair damaged skin cells by using Growth Factor beta-1, Tymosin beta-4 and peptides.  This time released system will leave the skin looking hydrated and healthy. Systems for Dry/Very Dry skin include Age Intervention Cream; its patented formula specifically targets changes in the appearance of skin resulting from hormonal changes and cumulative sun exposure.

5. Protect

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30 is one of the key components in the skin care management system.  It contains a PhytoMelanin plant extract that provides UV and antioxidant protection and an oil control system using microscopic sponge technology.  It is oil free and water resistant, leaving skin silky and velvety.

These products are just a sampling of those available for each step – one unique aspect of the Skin Care Management system is that it can be easily customized to accommodate any skin needs. Plus, additional Jan Marini products such as the Regeneration Booster and Retinol Plus are easy to incorporate into the system.

Stop by the salon today for a consultation and discover the true potential of your skin!
