New REFORMULATED La Mer Treatment Lotion
Does anyone else start their day with a healthy smoothie? Not the banana and cocoa kind. I'm talking about the green sludge-looking kind that you have to hold your nose to swallow. Part of my morning routine is to blend some greens, lemons and ginger. In reality, it's the only way I'll get any kind of greens in my system as I loathe cooking sprouts, broccoli, etc. Let alone eating the damn things.
What's with the smoothie reference Carl? In the words of Scaramanga, 'this is the part I really like'. Inside my mailer from La Mer was a mini-treatment gift. La Mer teamed up with renowned chef @IsaacCarew to celebrate the reformulated Treatment Lotion. Just as the NEW Treatment Lotion provides energy for your skin, Isaac created an energising smoothie to complement my skin and provide energy for within.
But let's talk about the treatment itself. This being new REFORMULATED Treatment Lotion with NEW serum-strength, youth-boosting benefits. Powered by Miracle Broth™, it delivers a rush of liquid energy and all-day hydration to breathe new life into skin and jumpstart your regime. The new formula now comes in NEW recyclable, glass packaging.
How can you tell if your Skin is Hydrated enough?
There’s much more to hydration than meets the eye. The foundation for all life, hydration is a powerful force and the basis for healthy-looking skin. We've all seen the effects of a poor night’s sleep or an over indulgent night-before. The bags, the red eyes, the dryness and uneven patches on the skin are all tells. In many ways restorative, hydration can help renew and prevent damage. When properly hydrated, skin is better equipped to protect itself from stress and is less susceptible to the appearance of irritation.
Liquid Hydrogel
The NEW La Mer Treatment Lotion’s signature, sensorial texture cushions and comforts on contact. Its proprietary Liquid Hydrogel is what allows The Treatment Lotion to flow through the skin continuously, releasing waves of all-day hydration to soothe and renew throughout the day. If your skin feels like it's had an uphill paper round, and lacks the buoyancy and elasticity that comes with ageing, then this could be the product for you. My skin has certainly been the beneficiary of the innovative Liquid Hydrogel that rapidly penetrates deep into the skin’s surface yet remains active in skin for sustained release of transformative benefits.
The Regime
The NEW Treatment Lotion optimises skin for every step that follows. I now have all the products in this recommended regime and can give you the step-by-step application process as follows.
