GILLETTE NEW SIMPLE SKIN CARE RANGE FOR MEN

GILLETTE GOES BACK TO BASICS
WITH A NEW SIMPLE SKIN CARE RANGE FOR MEN

Inspired by the science of shaving, Gillette has introduced its first ever range of pre and post shave skincare products designed for men’s core needs. The new Gillette Series Shave Care range is based on Gillette’s deep understanding of men and inspired by the 600 million men around the world who trust their faces to Gillette every day.

Dermatologists have long known about the benefits of a pre and post shave skincare regime. According to leading Sydney dermatologist Dr Adrian Lim, more male patients are proactively seeking advice on how to treat their skin during the shaving process and which products are best to address their skin issues.
“Although men have become more sophisticated regarding their grooming routine, I think simple is best when it comes to the pre-shave, shaving and post-shave process,” Dr Adrian Lim explains.
The newly developed range includes products to help prepare, shield and refuel, bringing outstanding
skincare to Gillette’s winning portfolio.

1. Prepare
Dr Lim believes preparation plays a critical role in elevating the shaving experience. “I recommend washing the face with a mild, soap-free cleanser, as ordinary bar soap may dry the skin of its natural moisture. An exfoliating cleanser, such as those containing small beads, may be beneficial for men with oilier skin”.

The new Gillette Series Pre-Shave Scrub prepares the skin and facial hair before shaving to help give you a close, comfortable shave. The lathering formula with exfoliating micro-beads powers away dirt, oil and dead skin cells, helping to release trapped hairs prior to shaving.
The non-drying, soap-free formula in the new Gillette Series Pre-Shave Wash helps to clean away dirt and excess oils, while softening the facial hair.

2. Shield
“Many men may not recognise the importance of shave gel for the closeness and comfort of their shave. In reality, the right shave gel can make the difference between a good shave and a great shave,” says Dr Lim.
A range of Gillette Series Shave Gels has been developed to help protect the skin against nicks, redness and tightness during the shaving process. There are four variants to meet men’s different skin needs, each containing lubricants to enhance razor glide from the first stroke to the last.

3. Refuel
“Men’s skin is typically coarser, thicker and greasier than women’s. A light, non-greasy formula works well for men to help restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier,” Dr Lim explains.
Designed to rehydrate the skin after shaving, the Gillette Series After-the-Shave Moisturizer is non-greasy, quickly absorbed and contains lightweight conditioners and emollients to help restore the skin’s moisture barrier and reduce tightness. It is alcohol free and suitable for everyday use. A version with SPF 15 UV protection is also available.
The lightweight blend of conditioners in the Gillette Series After-the-Shave Balm calms just shaved skin, leaving it smooth and comfortable.
Basic grooming tips to help elevate your shave:
• Shower or bathe before your shave. Washing your face and neck with warm water and a mild
cleanser will help remove the natural oils and perspiration that inhibit water penetration. While
facial hair can be tough, applying warm water will cause the hair to expand, making it softer and
easier to cut. The force required to cut beard hair can be reduced by up to 70 percent after a two
minute application of warm water.
• Apply plenty of shave gel. While water is the essential softening agent, the water absorbed by hair quickly evaporates leaving the hair in its original rigid state. Shave gel provides a protective blanket that helps prevent the evaporation of water and keeps the hair soft during the shave.
• Use a fresh blade and shave hard to reach spots last. To achieve the best shave it is important that your blade isn’t dull. If you start to feel the razor drag along your face, it’s time to replace it. Also ensure that you shave the cheeks, side of the face and neck first. The toughest hairs grow on the chin and around the lips. Shave these areas last, as more time soaking in shaving gel will soften the hair further.
• After the shave. After shaving, rinse your face and neck with cool water and pat dry. Always use an after-the-shave preparation to help hydrate and soothe the skin.

Pelactiv represents ‘active skin’ and Pelle is the Italian word for skin.

The Pelactiv solutions use totally pure and natural organic AHA’s.

Research shows that a higher level of irritation is caused by synthetic (chemicals) AHA’s and have less therapeutic value. Pelactiv have a complete professional and homecare range tailored to suit all skin types. Created by Australian Beauty Therapists in consultation with leading bio chemists. Pelactiv incorporates the purest Australian native plant extracts in combination with milk extract.
Pelactiv is a complete salon and retail range of skincare products that is sold in salons throughout Australia and overseas. Our range is non-comedogenic, non-allergenic, fragrance free and is not tested on animals.

skinvigor8 Décolleté Pad

Remove unsightly and aging décolletage wrinkles overnight

holding-padThe world-renowned Décolleté Pad designed by twice-Emmy-award-winning Hollywood make-up artist Camille Calvet (pictured) is now available in Australia.

The Décolleté Pad is available through www.skinvigor8.com.au and traffic to the sight has already exceeded all expectations as Aussie women are visiting the site in their thousands to get their hands on the revolutionary pad.

The Décolleté Pad produces astonishing results that have only otherwise been achieved by going ‘under the knife’. The pad is designed to correct and prevent damage to skin in the delicate chest area (décolletage).

Damage can be caused by number of different contributors, such as lying on the side while sleeping, sun damage, ageing of the skin and gravity.

The fantastic Décolleté Pad is completely non-invasive and easy to use. It can simply be placed on the chest over night while sleeping and removed in the morning. Alternatively, due to its thinness and transparency can just as easily be worn discreetly during the day.

The Décolleté Pad is made of 100 per cent medical-grade silicone, known for being effective in the healing of scar tissue.

Camille Calvet, who has worked with Hollywood stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Penelope Cruz, Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise, developed the Décolleté Pad when she started noticing chest creasing on herself and her famous clients. She realised that whilst there were many products available to combat lines on the face, there was a real neglect for products for the chest area.
“I have previously worked a lot with silicone in makeup and prosthetic mould making and started researching the healing properties of silicone for scar maintenance and burns,” said Camille Calvet.
She continued: “I came to realise that the silicone could work to prevent chest muscles and skin from forming creases while sleeping, as well as smoothing existing wrinkles while awake, enter the brainchild that is, Décolleté Pad. The feedback from satisfied customers of has been fantastic and the results speak for themselves”

The Décolleté Pad costs $55 (incl. GST and postage), with savings on orders of two or more. For more information and to order, visit the Skinvigor8 website: www.skinvigor8.com.au.
