Last month I was invited to one of their “ influencers” event to discover their brand and have lovely lunch @ restaurant Les Filles in Brussels. Product specialist Charlotte Heylesonne gave me a facial. Personally I’d rather invest on skincare and hydrating my skin then covering it with make-up when you don’t have a clear skin. I walked in with my make-up and got out with a clearer skin and just some mascara. I felt cleaner afterwards for sure.

I’d didn’t knew the brand before and I was curious about the products. After the facial Charlotte warned me that I may have a few impurities in a few days as this facial intensity purifies my skin which can cause impurities coming to the surface.

So what has Charlotte Heylesonne done during the facial ?

1. Cleaning with a gentle cleansing cream
2. Toning with soothing toning lotion
   Toner is a lotion or tonic intended to clean the face of residual facial cleanser and / or makeup. So actually, toner is also a kind of facial cleanser. In contrast to a “real” facial cleanser, a toner contains far fewer cleaning ingredients and toner consists of a large percentage of water.In the skin care routine, the toner is best used after cleansing the face with a facial cleanser, by dripping a little bit of the toner onto a cotton pad or ball and wiping off the face.
3. Peeling with mandelic acid peeling that can be done in various exuviance salons.

Before the mandelic acid peel solution is put on your skin, your skin must be cleansed and primed. A prep solution will most likely to applied to your skin to remove any surface facial oils. After this prep solution dries, the peel will be applied to your skin.*

4. Massage cream

5. Applied the vespera serum
