La gamme de produits Vivier
Les soins quotidiens, incluant l’utilisation de produits hydratants et nourrissants spécifiquement conçus pour les yeux, peuvent retarder l’apparition des signes de l’âge. Intégrer des exercices faciaux dans sa routine beauté aide également à renforcer les muscles autour des yeux et à maintenir la fermeté cutanée.
La gamme Vivier chez Clinique M, propose plusieurs soins topiques spécifiquement formulés pour la zone délicate du contour des yeux, qui peuvent aider à améliorer l’apparence des paupières tombantes. Voici quelques produits recommandés :
Cette crème hydratante cible les ridules, les rides et les cernes autour des yeux. Elle contient des peptides qui aident à raffermir la peau, améliorant ainsi l’apparence des paupières tombantes.
Une crème légère et apaisante qui hydrate, raffermit et nourrit la zone du contour des yeux. Enrichie en vitamine C et provitamine B5, elle vise à améliorer l’élasticité de la peau, contribuant à réduire le relâchement des paupières.
Enrichie en vitamine K, cette crème aide à réduire l’apparence des cernes, des poches et des signes de fatigue, tout en atténuant les ridules. Une peau plus ferme et tonifiée peut aider à améliorer l’apparence des paupières tombantes.
Conseils d’application :
- Fréquence : Appliquez ces crèmes matin et soir sur une peau propre et sèche.
- Méthode : Avec votre annulaire, massez doucement une petite quantité de produit sur le contour des yeux, en évitant le contact direct avec les yeux.
