What makes your new facial innovative and special? The Ideal Resource Line Polish Revitalising Facial is a facial massage treatment that corrects ageing with a three-dimensional approach; it brightens, improves texture and polishes fi ne lines and wrinkles. The facial also combines our unique Darphin Perfecting Massage technique with pioneering ingredients


from the Ideal Resource range. The skin regains its natural vitality during the perfecting massage as it combines dynamic, energetic movements with a slow, feather-like touch to awaken, revitalise and soothe.


What are the key stages of this treatment? The skin is expertly polished with Darphin’s Age- defying Dermabrasion and the pores are tightened and cleared with Darphin’s Niaouli Essential Oil Elixir. The perfecting massage follows in three stages. Gentle Awakening calms the skin and boosts lymphatic drainage through light, slow circular strokes. The Revitalising stage stimulates the skin’s natural functions, while toning the epidermis using light, quick movements with the fi ngers. The fi nal Soothing stage perfects and completes the therapy using calming circular strokes in a soft, soothing technique. The client will also experience two masks during their


treatment, one applied on top of the other. A hydrating Kiwi Mask, followed by a professional use-only Cereal and Vitamin Powder. A fi nal application of moisturiser and eye cream completes the treatment.


Can you explain the science behind the products? Ideal Resource products have been created with the state-of-the-art Line Polish Complex, developed by the Darphin Research and Development team. It combines three perennial plants; white hibiscus, which is rich in fl oral acids, recharging the epidermis by stimulating keratinocytes; centella asiatica, that is rich in triterpines and veinoactives to recharge cell exchanges and oxygen resources; and Japanese knotweed, to offer a potent supply of resveratrol to recharge the dermis with collagen by prolonging the lifespan of fi broblasts.


What makes this facial diff erent from other facials? The Darphin perfecting massage technique works to slow down the fi rst signs of ageing and is perfect from age 30 onwards. The Perfecting Massage is an epidermal massage that works by contrasting light and fi rm movements. Vital skin functions such as micro-circulation, lymphatic drainage and cell regeneration are gently stimulated, to ensure the effect of the active ingredients in the Ideal Resource treatment products are maximised. Lines are smoothed and skin looks luminous with a refi ned and velvety smooth texture.
