Chanel: A summer essential
MANILA, Philippines - In tribute to Eau Premiere, a modern interpretation of N°5 created by Jacques Polge in 2008, Chanel has released an Eau Premiere limited-edition set in the form of a purse spray, an olfactory gem adorned with the double C, and a spray bottle. Two evocations of absolute femininity nestled in a luxurious, unique case.
Eau Premiere’s top notes are Tunisian neroli, ylang-ylang from the Comoros and aldehydes; its base notes are sandalwood, bourbon vetiver, bourbon vanilla; and middle notes of rose absolute and jasmine absolute.
Apart from the Eau Premiere, Chanel empowers you with a daily complete protection to safeguard your skin. For the first time, Chanel is introducing a complete UV shield to shelter skin internally and externally against UV rays, free radicals and urban pollution, responsible for hyperpigmentation and photo-aging.
With two levels of protection in two sensorial textures, beauty is immaculately tailored with comfort and radiance.
UV Essentiel is a new approach to skin protection and provides an optimal solution to fight both internal and external damage from UV rays and pollution. Skin is completely protected from the outside and from the inside. From the outside it works with a specific combination of UV filters and an anti-pollution formula; from the inside, it prevents damage by strengthening the barrier function.
By providing this dual protection, UV Essentiel helps preserve the skin’s beauty, giving it all the defenses it needs to effectively fight the harmful effects of daily stresses. Skin remains beautiful and resilient in any situation. Photo-aging and hyperpigmentation are limited. Premature dark spots are much less likely to appear.
A combination of UV filters protects skin from UV radiation (UVA/UVB), while the formula itself has a barrier effect against surrounding pollutants. Besides, the sweat-resistant formula guarantees a long-lasting UV protection.
Thanks to a unique skin protection complex, developed by Chanel Research, damage caused by UV rays is prevented in the skin. Its objective? To preserve the integrity and functionality of stem cells by protecting their microenvironment and their DNA, to reinforce the skin’s inner barrier function and thus provide optimal skin protection.
Stem cells have a strategic position at the heart of the skin, within the basal layer of the epidermis. They are essential for the renewal of these basal cells and for maintaining the integrity and thickness of the basal layer. But, over time, and as a result of exposure to the sun and environmental stresses, stem cells decline.
The effects of UV rays dramatically change their microenvironment and their DNA. Their functionality is disrupted, epidermal renewal and differentiation are reduced, the skin barrier is weakened and skin becomes finer. As a result, skin becomes more sensitive to any harsh environmental elements. The signs of time leave their mark more easily and hyperpigmentation spots appear more rapidly.
Stem cells reside in a microenvironment DNA containing all the information needed that ensures they are protected. However, when DNA is exposed to UV, their functionality and capacity for radiation are severely damaged. It is therefore essential to protect DNA even when exposed to UV radiation against sun damage.
Upon application of UV Essentiel, the lightweight texture envelopes the skin with immediate softness and comfort, accompanied by a pleasant feeling of freshness and hydration. They glide over the skin almost invisibly, forming a highly protective film yet leaving nothing behind but an imperceptible matte finish. Plus there’s no shiny effect: the complexion stays clear, fresh and flawless, even in hot and humid conditions. Skin is moisturized and brightened, perfectly prepared for makeup application.
Use UV Essentiel as the final step of your daily skincare ritual and before applying makeup. Apply to entire face, neck and décolleté in the morning. On the face, dab on five areas (forehead, nose, cheeks and chin) and blend evenly over entire face. For optimal daytime protection, apply before sun exposure and reapply as needed during the day.
