Celebrity Life

From late nights to jet lag and weather changes, the skin struggles to recover. When life rhythms change, the skin is affected – from the epidermis to the heart of the dermis. When cellular renewal slows down, dark circles, under-eye bags and fine lines appear – signs of aging that start to become noticeable. Exhausted skin often shows a deficit in nutrients and an inability to restore itself.

Introducing the star ingredient of Dior Prestige: Rose de Granville, a legendary wildflower that was discovered on the cliffs of Normandy. Among 250 roses rich in manganese and in essential omegas, just one will produce rosehips. Cultivated in a dedicated Dior Garden in France, the Rose de Granville grows in an open field without fertiliser, pesticides or herbicides. They’re only harvested once a year, in autumn, when they present the strongest concentrations of phytonutrients, sugars, calcium and potassium.
At the heart of Prestige skincare, Rose de Granville – both the rose flower and the rosehip – is the secret to its anti-inflammatory formulas. Test protocols suggested that the Rose de Granville demonstrated a capacity of resistance greatly superior to that of a classical rose.

Today, Dior Science has gone one step further and made a new breakthrough. For the first time, LVMH Recherche took an interest in women who felt their skin was exhausted, stressed and sensitive to changes in weather. It was found that fatigue can induce a deficiency in potassium, essential fatty acids, and cermaides, which in turn affects the ability of skin cells to regenerate and defend themselves from oxidation.
Dior Science rose experts were able to extract all the micronutrients from the heart of the Rose de Granville. This exceedingly rare and luxurious ingredient brims with 22 perfectly pure micronutrients, such as potassium, omegas 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and manganese to boost damaged skin’s natural repairing and soothing processes.
Infused in Dior Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose, the amalgam of micro-nutrients from the Rose de Granville acts in synergy to restore cellular energy, stop inflammation, stimulate natural soothing mechanisms and boost circulation of nutritive supplies.

As part of the Rose de Granville series, the complementing product to be used alongside Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose is the oil format, Prestige La Micro-Huile de Rose. A blend of 20 micro-nutrients that act as precious gems are transmitted from flower to skin. Each bottle houses over 10,000 rose micro-pearls that are responsible for rebalancing the skin and preparing it for the serum and moisturiser in the following steps in the beauty regime. Used daily, the nutritional balance of the skin is synchronised against signs of fatigue, stress, and climate changes.

How to add skin-rejuvenating Rose de Granville to your skincare regime:

1. Prep the skin with Prestige Le Micro-Lotion de Rose

Prep the skin with Prestige Le Micro-Lotion de Rose. Enriched with Rose de Granville minerals and oil, this micro-nutritive pre-lotion combines intense purification and lasting comfort, for long-term hydration.

2. Apply Prestige La Micro-Huile de Rose to rebalance the skin

Used as a pre-serum, Prestige La Micro-Huile de Rose is a facial oil that delivers the right dose of micro nutrients to the skin. It can be used daily or can be combined with Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose as an intense treatment.

3. Calm skin with Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose

Apply a generous layer of Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose to soothe, regenerate and plump the skin. Each caviar pearl is infused with precious and powerful ingredients, soft and delicate for perfect fusion with the skin. For more intensity, it can be used as a three month treatment to help exhausted skin; as a sleep mask to encourage cellular renewal and giving cells new energy; as an SOS mask to soothe, smooth, repair, and plump areas damaged by stress, weather, flights, skiing and the sun.

4. Massage Skin

Help skin recover by massaging your face from the centre outwards in a circular motion. Start at the chin and move up to the forehead, then move back to the neck.

Reevaluations and resolutions – the new year comes with a bit (or a lot of) reflection. And while most promises will fall through before February, there are a few fun things that are both good for you and will keep you excited beyond the first month of the year. Plus, if you're looking to switch up a couple of things in your life, this is the perfect time to refresh your regimen. Whether you’re looking to cultivate a more sustainable approach, treat your skin to something slightly more indulgent or searching for a new scent, here are the most anticipated beauty drops this January that will get you through the season, and year.

Chanel Chance Perfume Pencils

Launch: 1 January
Price: HK$835

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/3_CHANCE_Packshot_CHANCE-Crayon_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/2_CHANCE_Packshot_CHANCE-Crayon_Easy-Resize.com_.jpg" right-caption="" left-caption=""]

Chanel No. 5 is probably one of the most sensational perfumes since its launch in 1921. And if not that, then it’s definitely the world’s best-selling fragrance (it’s said that a bottle is sold around the world every 30 seconds). And though classics will always have a place in our hearts, in recent years, we’ve had our eyes (and nose) on something a little more fresh, fruity and floral. The four Chances – the original Chance and its three interpretations, Eau Tendre, Chance Eau Fraîche and Chance Eau Vive – may not be new, but the crayon format is. Sold as a set of four, the solid fragrance is travel-friendly and can easily be applied to pulse points for all day wearability.

Dior Prestige Le Micro-Caviar de Rose

Launch: 1 January
Price: HK$2,800/75ml

Growing outside Christian Dior’s childhood home were wild clifftop roses that defied its harsh climate and environment. The resilient rose led to the creation of the first rose created for cosmetics – the Rose de Granville. From 7 rounds of cross-breeding chosen among over 40,000 hybrids, the result is a unique flower with the most extraordinary molecular profile of any rose. Dior Science has taken this nutrient-heavy bloom to create its newest reparative skincare, Le Micro-Caviar de Rose. Each jar holds 17,000 melting micro pearls which diffuse their micro-nutrients into the skin to comfort, repair, restore and revitalise signs of fatigue.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial

Launch: 1 January
Price: HK$410/50ml

Since the arrival of Sephora, beauty hoarders have now got another channel to fuel their addiction. With the new stores come new brands, one of which has climbed to cult standing: Drunk Elephant, the fastest-growing skincare brand in Sephora’s history. So when we were told that Founder Tiffany Masterson had a new product up her sleeve launching in 2020, we took it upon ourselves to see if it lived up to the reputation of the rest of the line. The F-Balm is a cooling, quenching overnight mask is said to plump and restore with its electrolyte cocktail. The formula effectively rehydrates hungover, overly-parched skin with its niacinamide, plant squalene, omega fatty acids and antioxidants. The verdict: it’s as promising as it sounds.

Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Primer

Launch: 1 January
Price: HK$390/30ml

[dual-images right-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/LM_Pure-Canvas-Primer-Illunminating_HK390_30ml_Visual_with-ingredients_pearl.jpg" left-image-url="https://www.prestigeonline.com/hk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/LM_Pure-Canvas-Primer-Protecting_HK390_30ml_Visual_with-ingredients_Suncreen.jpg" right-caption="Pure Canvas Primer Illuminating" left-caption="Pure Canvas Primer Protecting"]
Considered the pioneer of makeup primer, Laura Mercier first introduced this category, previously unheard of outside of theatrical makeup, back in 1996. Fast forward to 2020, and this tiny tube has become what is integral in everyday cosmetic application. Twenty-four years later, Laure Mercier is growing its collection, with revamped packaging for its original bestseller and four new products in the Canvas Primer Collection. All formulas boost priming effects, extend makeup wear and protect against aggressors, all the while allowing your skin to breathe. Each of the new formulas address a specific skin concern, be it blurring, hydrating, illuminating or protecting. The Pure Canvas Primer Illuminating wins top marks with its “glow from within” effect, formulated with micronised pearls, glycerin and porcelain flower extract, to enhance the skin’s natural luminosity.

Clé de Peau Beauté La Crème

Launch: 2 January
Price: HK$4,600/30ml; HK$6,000/50ml

Since its launch in 1982, the acclaimed La Crème has undergone eight transformations thanks to Clé de Peau’s scientific developments and breakthroughs. The latest formula is its most potent and advanced yet, maximising Skin Intelligence – which activates the properties to enable skin to repair and defend itself from external stressors. The studies have also shown that 100% of women who have tried it swear by the results (-- us included). What’s more, the new multifaceted gemstone-like packaging sits beautifully on the bathroom shelf.

Byredo Unnamed

Launch: 16 January
Price: HK$1,850/100ml

The Swedish perfumers Byredo has been bottling up scents translated from memories and emotions since 2006. This year, they’re bringing back their ever-popular limited edition Unnamed fragrance. It literally has no name and no direction, just an immaculate label with the promise of a story to write as your own. The reedition is composed of gin accord and pink pepper top notes, a lush violet and orris stem heart and fir balsam and tree moss as a base. Create your own associations – be it a name, a date, a special moment, a dream destination – you can customise your own fragrance name using the iconic Byredo typography in black and the new fluorescent blue, green and pink colours, too.

Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows

Launch: 16 January
Price: HK$208; HK$375 for 2

There’s always that shade or two in an eyeshadow palette that remains untouched. It’s true, no one uses every colour no matter what mood or occasion it may be. So, Rihanna decided to roll out mini palettes of only six shades packed with rich, smooth, blendable colours in matte, shimmer and glitter finishes, suited for any skin tone – a collection that she promises you will use. “All the shades you like and none you don’t. That’s the beauty of Snap Shadows – you can mix & match these palettes to vibe with you” says @badgirlriri. How you ask? Each pocket-sized palette can snap onto another (hence the name of the product) to create a handy compact-sized custom palette.
