Clarins launches 'Extra-Firming Mask'

However, hectic days which are sometimes very stressful and tiring, leave their mark on the features and visibly accentuate tension lines on the face. Clarins has always listened to women and their beauty concerns, continuously innovating to make their life more beautiful. Today, in the Extra-Firming range, Clarins launches an exceptional beauty mask. Clarins first relaxing, anti-ageing mask combines a smoothing action on tension lines with an exceptional texture and a new relaxing method to offer the perfect solution to the harmful effects of stress and fatigue. You feel good about yourself again, thanks to a beautiful radiant glow and smooth, rested, visibly younger-looking skin.

A cocktail of highly effective key ingredients selected by Clarins Research
In the formula, palmitoyl glycine, a lipoamino acid resulting from the grafting between an amino acid, glycine and a fatty acid, compensates for the harmful effects of the stretching of the fibroblast due to the movement of repeated muscle contractions of the skin. It has a proven biological action to help reduce the look of tension lines and visibly smooth features. In addition to palmitoyl glycine, the complementary actions of the firming complex developed for the Extra-Firming range combines extracts of organic green banana and lemon thyme to help reinforce collagen fibres, fight loss of firmness and protect the skin’s elasticity. The look of wrinkles is also reduced.

Clarins Research also selected another complementary ingredient, acerola seed extract, to encourage the oxygenation of cells and revive complexion radiance. The presence of hyaluronic acid, combining acids of high and low molecular weight,
helps to maintain optimal hydration of the skin and restore its fresh look. Finally, the combination of jojoba, mimosa and sunflower waxes provides skin with a wonderful feeling of comfort.

Pure pleasure in a jar
For its first relaxing, anti-ageing mask, Clarins Research has innovated with a unique mauve-coloured, ultra-sensorial texture with an intense effect. Once applied, it has a wonderful refreshing feeling with a soothing fragrance which envelops the skin during the entire application time. The texture of Extra-Firming Mask also has a perfect consistency so you take just the right amount, making it very easy to apply.
Applied with the fingers, the mask transforms into a very smooth, comforting cream-gel. Its ultra-sensorial feel and soothing, relaxing fragrance encourage the relaxing effect on the face. The result? The look of wrinkles is reduced, features appear smoothed, the complexion is radiant and skin is fresher-looking.

The benefits of mauve

Violet and blue are two favourite colours of women. Associated with softness and serenity, mauve is used in chromotherapy to encourage relaxation. Its soothing virtues on the mind are also recognized in the field of psychology. The colour of Extra-Firming Mask was approved by 83.3% of women.*
