The first of July marks the beginning of the second half of the year and it also marks an incredibly special month on QVC as Gatineau launches an incredible SUPERSIZE OF THE MONTH.
It’s a MEGA DEAL and a true customer favourite, and just for the month of July, Defi Lift Firming Neck and Décolleté Gel will be featuring in a huge 200ml tube – that’s four times the size of the full retail version – giving you a six month supply of game-changing skincare! This is the time to start stockpiling to ensure you are never without!
Holidays, heatwaves, and endless sunshine can sound really dreamy but without the right protection they can wreak havoc on your skin. There is no denying the face is the star of the show but are you extending the same care to the skin on your neck and decollete? It goes without saying that skincare shouldn’t just stop at our face but in the ever-revolving world of skincare few luxury neck treatments go on to stand the test of time. Over two decades since its original launch Defi Lift Firming Neck and Décolleté Gel is a tried-and-true classic and still passes with flying colours. A beauty industry icon that has never faded into the background– trust me, it deserves the recognition.
The skin on your neck is thinner, drier and has much less collagen than on your face. Think of it this way, your neck is about as delicate as the skin on your eyelids – that should give you some perspective as to how gentle you should be. Necklace lines (those horizontal bands going across the neck) can become visible in our 30’s largely caused by creasing the neck while looking down at phones! Laxity in the platysma (the sheet like muscle spanning the neck, from jawline to collarbone) can also manifest as bulging neck bands – in our younger years these bands only present themselves when we are talking or grimacing but as we get older, they can become permanent fixtures giving the neck a tense, scrawny look which becomes increasingly evident when the skin thins exposing the intricacies of the muscle below. The warmer weather also brings a whole slew of skincare challenges as areas of the body like the neck and decollete which have been previously covered are suddenly exposed. And be wary of fragrances that also contain high levels of alcohol as they can really age the skin on the neck not to mention that perfume-covered skin becomes more susceptible to sun damage and age spots.
When France comes to mind its often synonymous with exquisite cuisine and impeccable fashion yet another aspect that France effortlessly excels in is beauty. The allure of Franch women’s’ flawless skin and smooth decolletage is undeniable. There are certain parts of the body that French women pay particular attention to – the neck and decollete and upper arms being just a few. They immerse themselves into skincare from a young age and believe that skincare should start at your chest and go up to your forehead.
Gatineau, a Parisan brand with over nine decades of heritage, has always incorporated these French beauty principles into their skincare and Defi Lift Firming Neck and Décolleté Gel is no exception and is the crème de le crème of any beauty lover’s skincare collection. If gravity is dragging you down then this age-defying multi-tasker promises to hoist up jowls, smooth wrinkles, strengthen fragile skin and tighten simply anywhere you wish to tighten!
With its unique blend of high efficiency ingredients, opulent gel texture and instant results it is a magical formula to achieving youthful skin. The blend of skin tensing Sorghum Bicolor Stalk together with avant-garde Fixilift technology give an instant nip and tuck effect (a bit like ‘facial’ support tights) with immediate impact whilst steamrolling any etched-in lines, hollows and grooves and then skin restoring Valine, an essential amino acid, plays an important role in strengthening the scaffolding and infrastructure restoring skin tension.
That's not all though; it's also laced with protective Vitamin E, a skin comforting antioxidant that helps seal up little cracks in the skin barrier to retain moisture and boosted with smoothing sunflower oil, rich in high levels of Linoleic Acid making it a worthy neck nourisher and complexion smoother.
No matter your age there’s no good reason not to include your neckline in your skincare regime and this gravity-fighting formula with its targeted ingredients offers instant gratification. Left to absorb it leaves the neck and decolletage instantly feeling hydrated and best of all blankets the skin in glow and all whilst combatting crepiness, sagginess, lines and wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Ita time to rewrite your neck’s future so it tells a story of confidence. Things are looking up……..
