An Estée Moment

And So To Bed – The Power Nap Facial. Beauty Life Moments covets the beauty of Estée Lauder. Always in my beauty tray is a collection of their high delivery skincare and beauty collections. Take a moment to recharge with an at-home salon treatment – it will be the beginning of a beautiful skincare story.

THE BEAUTY LUXURY

Begin to transform your outer beauty by indulging in a before bedtime mini facial with some of my most loved and treasured Estée Lauder skincare. Mini facial, mini visage or mini viso – no matter the language the meaning of a facial in the same. That is to treat, replenish and revive your skin.

And So To Bed – The Power Nap Facial is an ode to some iconic beauty that you will return to again and again, no matter where you may be in life.


THE CLEANSING MOMENT

Prepare: Begin with a clean surface by removing all traces of makeup. One of my nightly cleansing rituals is beginning with the Advanced Night Cleansing Balm.

A buttery balm that melts on to the skin transforming into a shimmering cleansing milk, as you gently massage it over your face and neck. And while it cleanses your skin will not be stripped or the skin barrier function disturbed.

The Beauty Notes:

  • An oil-based cleanser.
  • Non-drying and non-stripping.
  • Formulated to not disturb the skin barrier function.
  • Removes sunscreen residue left on the skin.
  • Suitable for all skin-types.

The How To: Use one dropper. Smooth the hydrating serum gently all over face and neck. Can be used night and day.

Some Ingredients Facts: The TRIPEPTIDE-32 skincare factor – helps to promote the skin’s natural renewal and boost natural collagen. Enhanced with Hyaluronic Acid, the serum offers 74-hour hydration optimisation.

What I Love: I have used this product for many years and it never disappoints. The serum texture is light to the touch and easily absorbs, ready for my next skincare product. I have to admit this is one of my most favourite Estée Lauder beauty rituals. And is one of their most iconic skincare success stories.


A REFRESHING MOMENT

Refresh And Soothe: Gently pat on Micro Essence Treatment Lotion to refresh, soothe and nourish. The Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment helps to optimise the skin barrier function.

This second step is designed to increase hydration to the skin, to help minimise the appearance of pores, reduce skin irritations and redness to the skin.

The Beauty Notes:

  • Infuses hydration.
  • Ideal for fine lines, redness and skin irritation.
  • Suitable for all skin-types.
  • Made in Japan.

The How To: After cleansing, apply with your hands, or a cotton pad. Include in your skincare routine day and night.

Some Ingredient Facts: Enhanced with Bio-Ferment to help optimise the skin barrier function. Micro Essence Treatment Lotion is an oil-free formulation.

What I Love: I always use some type of skincare refresher. The Micro Essence Treatment Lotion is gentle on the skin and the after-effect is light and cooling.


A HYDRATION MOMENT

Hydrate And Revitalise: To begin with an instant radiance boost follow with Advanced Night Repair Serum for a hit of hydration. Designed to revitalise and repair the skin, only a few drops are required with each treatment.

I always have this serum in my beauty tray – and the travel sizes for when I am away.

The Beauty Notes:

  • 8 hour antioxidant protection.
  • Helps to reduce the signs of ageing and stresses caused by environmental factors.
  • Penetrates easily into the skin – and has an oil-free texture to the serum.
  • Free of synthetic fragrances.
  • Suitable for all skin-types.

Some Ingredients Facts: The TRIPEPTIDE-32 skincare factor – helps to promote the skin’s natural renewal and boost natural collagen. Enhanced with Hyaluronic Acid, the serum offers 74-hour hydration optimisation.

What I Love: I have used this product for many years, and it never disappoints. The serum texture is light to the touch and easily absorbs, ready for my next skincare product. I have to admit this is one of my most favourite Estée Lauder beauty rituals. And is one of their most iconic skincare success stories.


A REVITALISING MOMENT

Night Beauty: Your intense moisture treatment will follow with Revitalizing Supreme+ Night Intensive Restorative Creme – to help firm and reduce signs of ageing.

The collagen boosting technology associated with this moisturiser helps to make the skin look firmer and more lifted. This is especially important with this product as natural protein production peaks while you sleep.

The Beauty Notes:

  • Designed to help lift and firm the appearance of skin and to intensely hydrate.
  • Helps to boost skin radiance and reduce skin dullness.
  • Suitable for all skin-types.

The How To: Formulated to apply over both face and neck.

The Ingredient Facts: Sea Lavender Flower Extract, it helps to naturally renew and replenish 8cells overnight. And your skin is nourished with Hyaluronic Acid for intense, 24-hour hydration – because skin loses water faster at night.

What I Love: I added this cream to my skincare program a couple of years ago. Though it is a cream formulation its texture is light but leaves a feeling of deep hydration. I carry a mini version with me when I travel.


A TREATMENT MOMENT

Eye Power: For your eyes Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme to treat dark lines and deep circles. And now we have to consider the effect of ‘blue light’ from devices that is a trigger for free radical damage.

The Beauty Notes:

  • This fresh, lightweight gel-creme is enriched with vitamin E to help fight free radical damage.
  • Reduces the appearance of dark circles.
  • Targets eye lines and the advanced effects of skin-ageing.
  • Suitable for all skin-types.

The How To: Apply gently to the eye area. Can be incorporated into your skincare program for day and night.

Some Ingredient Facts: The exclusive FR-Defense™ technology helps to resist visible environmental irritation. Intensely hydrates and plumps out skin. With the addition of Hyaluronic Acid this will add to visibly reduce fine lines, and help retain moisture to the delicate skin around the eye area.

What I Love: The texture, the feel on the skin, and of course the results! I turn to this eye treatment cream day or night.
