More, more and more. We’re always chasing the end of that elusive rainbow, whether it comes to the perfection of our work, our shopping habits (sorry bank account!), or even one of our most relaxing self-care rituals, skincare. The irony is not lost on us. That said, is it a crime to expect our skincare to do the work for us? Not in the case of the new CHANEL LE LIFT Crème de Nuit — this one will happily do the work for you while you’re asleep.
Created for our modern lifestyles (read: stressed out), where we’re often pushing the limits of our productivity, the CHANEL LE LIFT line, now joined by the new night cream, aims to relieve skin that’s overworked during the day, by helping it renew itself at night.
The science behind this comes first with an understanding of why our skin needs all the help it can get. Cellular renewal reaches its peak at night while we’re asleep — 25 times more active than during the day — which makes sleep ideal if you want to feel the benefits of good skin. However, a long and busy day might disturb this natural rhythm; external aggressors including pollution, temperature changes, or stress overstimulate the skin’s nerve fibres, which over time, can cause it to be more sensitised and uncomfortable. This then makes the nighttime renewal less effective than before, so signs of ageing become more obvious.
If you’re getting worried here, know that skincare helps. If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line range, the LE LIFT Crème de Nuit is specially formulated for nighttime care, with a new Neuractive Night complex to accompany its 94% natural-origin ingredients and, star of the LE LIFT line, the Alfalfa Extract which helps with collagen production.
Here’s a brief rundown of what the Neuractive Night complex consists of, and how it helps our skin:
- Silver Needle Tea — a rare white tea gathered by hand only ten days in a year, and dried at low temperatures to retain their active molecules. It helps in both soothing the skin, as well as de-stressing, by blocking free radical damage so our skin cells are protected from oxidative stress.
- A marine-origin active ingredient — obtained via biotechnology, this strengthens our skin’s barrier function, as well as boosts the production of hyaluronic acid. Works together with the LE LIFT’s key Alfalfa Concentrate for smooth and firm skin.
Overall, these work in sync — our skin is first soothed so it can go back to its essential nighttime task to renew itself. At the same time, we’re able to reap the benefits of healthy, firm skin.
Texture-wise, expect the same sensorial benefits of a CHANEL Beauty skincare line. The cream is fresh and velvety, thanks to a combination of jojoba oil and shea butter, so that it envelopes your face comfortably for the night — it’s almost like being tucked in by your skincare, and that’s a feeling we can get to love.
