Chanel Précision: Do-it-yourself beauty programs
March 12, 2006 | 12:00am
The name says it all: Précision.
French house Chanel’s Micro Solutions Programs propose something of an oxymoron for the 21st century – a youthful-looking face without surgery, without laser, without needles, and without Botox injections. Whaaat? In today’s world, where being injected with botulinum toxin is a lunchtime procedure, they dare invent something that rejects poison and something that you can do yourself at home?
Why, yes, and we ought to celebrate it.
Chanel Précision goes a step further by offering these as alternatives to dermatology procedures with applicators that are easy to use. The three programs are the Refining Peel Programme for true peeling that’s safe enough for sensitive skin; Wrinkle-Neutralizing Treatment to control the effects caused by muscular contractions that are the origin of expression lines; and Wrinkle-Filler Programme to fill the hollows caused by deep wrinkles.
Depending on your age, your skin condition and your budget, you can choose what best suits you. Or for best results, do them all to take advantage of the synergy of the three programs.
The Refining Peel Programme delivers a powerful and safe exfoliating action on your skin as if it were done in a dermatologist’s clinic. Packed with glycolic acid, it promises to transform the skin’s texture in just three weeks. The brand-new skin texture after use is smoother and softer. The product comes in 21 small tubes filled with the serum that you dab lightly over your face and neck, working outwards with your fingers, after which you can apply your usual moisturizer.
Recommended for people aged 30 and up, the treatment contains eight percent pure glycolic acid and the amino acid L-Arginine, which acts as a "stopper." The glycolic acid is released over time without causing irritation and is trapped in micro bubbles of water-in-silicone to form a protective shield for the epidermis.
The 21 tubes, each one for a day’s treatment, are for use in the morning or at night after cleansing the face and before applying your moisturizer. After the program, fine lines and signs of fatigue are noticeably gone, replaced by a radiance and even skin tone.
The Wrinkle-Neutralizing Treatment works on forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet (they’re cute when you’re in your 20s – they add character to your blank twentysomething expression – but not when you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s). It’s a fix-it that comes with a massage instrument that you roll vertically on your face (between the eyebrows and down) and horizontally (forehead, crow’s feet) between five and 10 times. If you have a night-cream routine, apply it first before the Wrinkle-Neutralizing gel, which comes in a pen with a dial that you turn 15 to 25 "clicks" until the gel is released. Then you apply a small amount to each wrinkle and smooth it out with the applicator tip to spread it. It will dry in three minutes, during which time you should avoid making a facial expression to let it adhere to the wrinkle. In the morning, just wash it off with water.
What the treatment does is to fix the wrinkles with the gel patch while you sleep without giving the face a frozen look and delivers a deep toning action. Rather than risk getting a frozen look from getting multiple Botox injections, you can do this treatment yourself. The product contains a trio of polymers filled with water and alcohol, which evaporate upon contact with the skin. The polymers retract and form an anti-contraction film that adheres to the expression line and immobilizes it for the night. Its soya micro proteins boost the production of collagen and improve the tone of the skin.
The Wrinkle-Filler Programme, recommended for people 30 and above, works on wrinkles that have become too deep and noticeable like those on the upper lip. It is an alternative to injectible implants if you want to lessen your deep lines. The treatment is derived from plants but is powerful enough to fill the hollows caused by aging. It has derivatives of vitamins A and C to stimulate the natural production of collagen.
The two-step set comes with two products – a bottle of redensifying wrinkle treatment and 21 slim "pens" or stylets (almost like eyeliner pens) of wrinkle fillers with a gel texture that you use over 21 days. The first solution is applied to the deepest point of the wrinkles (naso-labial folds, on the upper lip, and around the corners of the mouth). Then the gel is applied. The stylets come with a "spatula" to help you apply the gel on the start of the wrinkle, after which you spread it over with your fingers to smoothen the product.
It can be used in the morning after your day cream has been fully absorbed, but don’t use powder foundation after applying it (use fluid foundation and just dab lightly to make sure the treatment is not wiped away). Or, for an easier time, use it at night after washing your face.
Chanel Précision’s three Micro Solutions programs give women who don’t want to resort to injections and implants hope. All in the comfort of their own homes.
Chanel Micro Solutions are available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La Plaza Mall and Alabang Town Center. Each product in the Micro Solutions line is P10,150.
