Did your know that our skin has its own immune system?
Like in our bodies, the skin’s immune system protects it from the harmful effects of the environment, emotional stress and aging.
And, just like researchers have established links between our immune system and our general health, there is also a relationship between the beauty of our skin and the state of its immune system.
This research forms the backbone of Shiseido’s newest launch, Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate.
Essentially a ‘preventative’ concenrtate, Ultimune claims to improve skin’s immunity by targeting the Langerhan cells (the power source behind healthy skin). It’s used before your serum (or any other product) to help increase the benefits of the products you use.
Ultimune works to resist, restore, protect and strengthen the skin. A unique botanical cocktail of Ginko biloba leaf extract, perilla and wild thyme, all renowned for their anti-bacterial properties, are included in the ingredients.
Ultimune is designed for all skin types and ages, regardless of what your concern may be. It can be effortlessly introduced into your skincare regime and will seriously boost the performance of your serums and moisturisers.
I’ve been using Ultimune for about two weeks now, and must admit that my skin feels a little more resilient. I like the super light gel-like texture of this treatment, and the fact that it absorbs in the blink of an eye. Two pumps are more than enough to cover face, neck and décolletage. Thus far I’ve noticed that my pores seem smaller (but then again, I am using another product that tightens pores), my skin is less dehydrated and looks far more radiant. I also love the unique subtle rose scent of this product.
From a purely aesthetic point, the packaging is INCREDIBLE!!! How gorgeous is the semi-transparent red glass bottle that’s designed to fit comfortable into the palm of your hand?
Here’s the video for Ultimue, that perfectly describes how this concentrate works.
Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate retails for R1145 for a 30ml and R1525 for a 50ml bottle.
Shiseido is available at selected Edgars and Stuttafords stores countrywide.
