PAYOT BLUE TECHNI LISS NIGHT {REVIEW}

This makes me sound old I know, but I remember when this prestigious skincare brand was called Dr. PAYOT
Back in the day there were many brands that were founded and formulated by Doctors 
and obviously their name headed the brand.Over the years the Dr. has been dropped
from many and today this highly acclaimed French cosmetic brand is known as
PAYOT

For those of you that have never heard of the brand before
 here's a very brief overview:

PAYOT is a cosmetic brand with an international reputation, born in 1920 of the extraordinary vision of one woman: Nadia Payot. Ahead of her time, she became one of the first female doctors.Nadia Payot early on demonstrated her commitment to using her medical, scientific and herbal expertise in the skincare products she developed.
Today, the brand has continued to occupy the international stage, with a presence in nearly 70 countries and more than 7,500 selective points of sale, beauty institutes, spas, perfumeries, department stores and pharmacies.




PAYOT is without doubt French skincare at its best, so you can imagine how excited I was to receive a Night and Mask product from their latest skincare launch Blue Techni Liss to put to the test. 
The Blue Techni Liss range (which consists of 5 products) has been specifically formulated to fight the damaging effects and impact of blue light on the skin and can be used on all skin types.
Blue Light emission is all around us and constant exposure to screens, a lack of sleep and in many cases a lack of exposure to natural light all play havoc with not only our skin but our bodies too...

Our increasingly hectic lifestyles desynchronise our biological clocks. Our biorhythms are turned upside down and it shows on the face: premature wrinkles, a dull complexion and dehydrated skin.
I'm sure all of you reading this post can relate, in so many ways, to the above 
I know I can, but how can we counteract these harmful effects on our skin...


BLUE TECHNI LISS a new chrono-active smoothing range that restores balance to your skin. During the day the skin needs protection and during the night and at weekends it needs regeneration.

All products contain the following:
 Encapsulated Chaste Tree Extract,fights the effects of desynchronised skin biorhythms and mitigates the impact of blue light on the skin, allowing it to regenerate easily.Wrinkles and fine lines are smoothed with the inclusion Hyaluronic Acids,which
promote skin regeneration to smooth both the surface and plump it from within.
Relaxing hibiscus oligo-peptide inhibits the movements of muscles responsible for the appearance of expression lines.
 Horehound Extract protects the skin against the effects of blue light.


I have been using the Blue Techni Liss Night for nine weeks now and there are three noticeable differences to anything else that I have ever tried, and believe me
 I've tried many night creams in my time.

  1.
The colour of the product is the most beautiful deep blue,that comes from pretty flower of the 
key ingredient Chaste tree.

2.
The delicate  and beautiful fragrance of pear and delicate white roses immediately imparts that 
sense of softness.

3.
Its deep blue gel texture miraculously melts into an oil on contact with the skin giving  a most ultra-comfortable smooth finish and one that I've never experience before.

The Techni Liss Night care contains nocturnal micro-algae, so it draws its 
strength during the night to allow the skin to rest and regenerate. 
Its formula is enriched with AHA hibiscus to smooth the skin and my skin definitely 
felt smooth in the mornings.


Having enjoyed using this delightful product, it's only one product from this range 
and without doubt the use of all 5 products combined will combat the effects of 
Blue Light more intensely.

I've been applying nightly for weeks now and there is still a huge amount left in the jar
so cost per application on this product is excellent 
I do also have the Renewing Peel Mask to try, in fact I have two, as I had bought one
prior to being sent one to review, so expect that review soon.

On a final note, I have always held PAYOT or Dr.Payot as it was, in high regard when it comes to 
good french skincare and guess what I still do...

LUXE SKINCARE GIFTING IDEAS 2019


 I tend to steer away from doing Christmas Gift Guides, but this year I've decided to
put together some of my favourite skincare gifting that I've come across and think
offer great value for money.
 Obviously they can be used as gifts for any skincare lover, but better still they could be a year end treat from You2You or even just a way of stocking up on your skincare essentials for the coming year at a cheaper price and in several instances you receive added products at no charge.




PAYOT
BLUE TECHNI LISS

Contains:
50ml BLUE TECHNI LISS JOUR (Day)
15ml BLUE TECHNI LISS REGARD (Eye)
30ml BLUE TECHNI LISS CONCENTRATE (Serum)

RRP R1,295
VALUE R2,148

(Available at selected Dischem Pharmacies and Independent Pharmacies nationwide and only whilst stocks last)

This is my absolute favourite skincare offer and the best for this festive season.
This year PAYOT launched their BLUE TECHNI LISS product line that focuses
on protecting and counteracting the damages on the skin from blue light that's emitted from computer screens, cell phones and laptops.Its suitable for all skin types and ideal as a gift for the man in your life.
I recently reviewed the night and the sheet face mask
 to read my full reviews

I'm tempted to buy this set for myself as it offers the day cream, the eye and the concentrate serum all at a saving of R853 and take it from me it's a great range
 from a great French brand. 

Clarins
The Hydration Collection
Contains:
50ml Hydra-Essential-All Skin Types  
15ml SOS Hydra Mask 
30ml Gentle Foaming Cleanser  
All presented in a Festive beauty pouch.

RRP : R675

(available from Clarins stockists countrywide and online)You really can't go wrong with any gift set from Clarins and they have several 
on offer in 2019.They cover a variety of skin types and price points and I've chosen the Hydration Collection because it focuses on intense hydration and radiance and whose skin doesn't need help with these areas...
The 50ml Hydra-Essential  retails for the same price as the set, which means you receive the SOS Hydra Mask (which I've tried and is great), the Gentle Foaming Cleanser (an iconic Clarins cleanser) and the beauty pouch free.



L'Occitane
Divine Premium Set

Contains:
Divine Cream 50ml
Immortelle Divine Youth Oil 30ml



RRP : R2,950
Value : R3,180

(available from L'Occitane Boutiques countrywide and Online)

It wouldn't be a very good Christmas Gift Guide if I didn't include a gift set from my favourite French brand L'Occitane.
For many years I used the complete range of Divine face care products and this set contains two of the best essentials, the Divine Cream and the Immortelle Divine Youth Oil.

Packed with concentrated anti-aging properties to help mature skin regenerate. 
This range fights the visible signs of ageing and the skin appears firmer, smoother,
more radiant and brighter.

Offering a discount of R230 over buying the products separately it could be the start 
of a Divine skincare journey.


PAYOT
MY PAYOT

Contains:
50ml MY PAYOT JOUR (Day)
15ml MY PAYOT REGARD (Eye)
30 ml MY PAYOT CONCENTRATE ECLAT (Serum)

RRP R1,295

VALUE R1,650

(Available at selected Dischem Pharmacies and Independent Pharmacies nationwide
 and only whilst stocks last)

I have chosen another offer from PAYOT, with enriched antioxidant superfruit extracts, 
MY PAYOT skin care products meet all the expectations of stressed and tired skin. A comprehensive range to meet all the needs of dull skin to regain a fresh and luminous complexion.This set contains, in my opinion the 3 most vital skincare products,
 Day Cream/Eye Cream and that all important serum to give your skin a post
festive season boost.

Happy Shopping!

PAYOT ROSELIFT COLLAGÈNE RESCULPTING NIGHT CREAM {REVIEW}

The more I'm using from the French skincare experts 
PAYOT 
the more I'm falling in love with this long established, a 100 years to be precise,
 Luxe skincare brand. 
(I even included the PAYOT BLUE TECHNI LISS Night Cream in my
Top 10 Skincare products of 2019)



The latest addition to their product line-up is the 5 piece collection
Roselift Collagène 


PAYOT dedicates its new firming range, Roselift Collagène to women 
who take a positive and caring approach to the first visible signs of ageing. 
Roselift Collagène is a “slow age” firming range that supports women by 
slowing the effects of skin slackening for a better experience of ageing. 
The range is an ideal blend of a collagen booster and a patented active ingredient derived from Damask rose, in skincare with ultra-sensorial 
textures that make each product a unique experience.


I was very kindly gifted the Roselift Collagène Nuit (Night Cream) several
months ago and have been using it pretty much every night for the past 3 months.

Roselift Collagène Nuit 
is a resculpting night care enriched with peony extract and it has a dual redensifying and lifting action, which firms the facial contour and redensifies the volumes of your 
face while you sleep.
Its unique formula combines a collagen-boosting peptide with a patented active ingredient derived from Damask rose.
The delicate pink cream has a more traditional rich, smooth and velvety feel, 
it's also a heavier texture than many of the lighter whipped formulations I have been trying of late and for night time, I do prefer.

 This cream is fragranced and beautifully I may add, with rosy, fruity and woody floral notes, that conjure up visions of soft, comforting and delicate ingredients working their lifting and firming magic overnight.

However if you're not a rose fragranced lover or have a sensitive skin, then you 
may not appreciate the rosy fragrance that the cream has, but I personally loved it...

Unfortunately I can't say that I've noticed a firmer, plumper or more lifted facial contour, but then again the effect is often accelerated when you use the complete collection of 5 products, that all work in synergy, however this certainly wouldn't stop me from highly recommending this night cream, 
especially if you are looking for a firming, anti-ageing night product.


*At this point I must make mention of the how little you need to apply, as this product 
is creamy and emollient and judging by the amount I've used over 3 months, this 
night cream will last me another 3+ months and equates to excellent value for money
in comparison to many other luxury brands that I've tested.
I have noticed this with several other of the PAYOT creams that I have previously 
reviewed, they all seem to last a long time, but I for one "ain't" complaining...

PAYOT COMFORTING CLEANSING DUO {REVIEW}


PAYOT
or Dr.Payot as it was know for many years, has been around for as long as 
I can remember and has always been a well respected French brand, 
where serious skincare is concerned.
Over the years it has dipped in n out of popularity, but I recently picked up this cleanser and toner combo in Dischem who stock the brand in their larger stores, 
which I'm happy to see.


Having never tried any products from PAYOT I seized the opportunity 
to try a good French Cleansing Milk and Toning Lotion, which I do love.

PAYOT
Lait Micellaire Démaquillant
 Soothing Cleansing Moisturising Milk 
with Raspberry Extracts 

sounds delicious and after a 35 year career in beauty
 I can instantly tell the difference between a budget and a luxury cleanser,
 so I hope this one doesn't disappoint.

Ooh là là...
This cleanser was all I expected it to be, it was rich, creamy, luxurious and left my 
skin feeling comforted and hydrated. 
With a double cleanse my make-up was easily and gently removed.
Formulated to be used by all skin types it can be used with or without cotton wool 
both morning and evening followed by the Radiance Toning Lotion.

PAYOT
Lotion Tonique Rèveil
Radiance Boosting Perfecting Lotion
With Raspberry Extracts

The toning lotion completes the make-up removal and cleansing process perfectly.
This revitalising, cooling alcohol free toner not only smells "raspberry" fresh, but it prepares the 
skin for any further treatments.

This duo offers great value for money as they're both 400mls in size and when you work
out the cost per millilitre it actually comes in cheaper than many drugstore, mass marketed 
cleansing and toning products.
 An added bonus is, they both come packaged in the easy to control pump dispensers 
which I personally love.

PAYOT BLUE TECHNI LISS WEEK-END CHRONO-RENEWING PEEL MASK {REVIEW}

Whilst I adore the idea of sheet masks I am so
lazy when it come to using them and instinctively go to grab a face mask in a pot
 or a tube for ease and convenience.
However this doesn't stop me being drawn to them, like a magpie to all things shiny, hence my large collection of sheet masks waiting for the day that I become more proactive and actually start to wade my way through my stash and use them.
Perhaps this could be my New Years beauty resolution in 2020
"Use Sheet Masks More"

(I was kindly sent this from the brand, however I had already bought one, so I now have
 2 in my "sheet mask stash", but I ain't complaining)



PAYOT
BLUE TECHNI LISS
WEEK-END
CHRONO-RENEWING PEEL MASK

This mask forms part of their product line up Blue Techni Liss range, which helps to protect and fight the damaging effects of Blue Light on the skin, by allowing the cells to regenerate more easily and counterbalance the disturbances in the skins metabolism.

I recently reviewed their night cream Blue Techni Liss Nuit,which I loved
This peeling mask has been formulated to smooth wrinkles, renew and refine the 
skin’s texture. 
The star active ingredients of this peeling mask are:

Encapsulated chaste tree berry
&
Horehound extract
(Counterbalance the disturbances in the skin’s metabolism and protect it against 
the effects of blue light)

8% glycolic acid
(Eliminates dead cells on the skins surface and stimulates cell renewal
revealing a smoother softer more radiant skin)

Hyaluronic Acids
(The combination of not 1 but 2 Hyaluronic acids to smooth and 
to plump the skin from within)

Poorly fitting sheet masks is one of my reasons for my reluctance to use, as I inevitably
spend ages trying to make the mask fit to my face and for once this mask actually fitted well,didn't tear and was comfortable to wear.

Unfold the mask and remove the white protective veil. 
Leave on the face for 15 minutes, remove, and then rinse with water.
Contains No Parabens,No Toxins and is not tested on animals.
The 100% natural, recyclable, individually packaged sheet mask is suitable for all skin types and is ideal for weekend pampering.
It's travel-sized format and 15-minute action make it both fast and convenient!

Both my skin and I really enjoyed this mask and without doubt my skin,
 post application, felt softer and smoother.
This mask can easily be incorporated into any skin care routine.
Personally I think this would make a perfect stocking filler this Christmas for all 
"skin care addicts"

PAYOT BLUE TECHNI LISS WEEK-END CHRONO-RENEWING PEEL MASK {#TBT REVIEW}

Whilst reading through this review from November 2019 I made a New Years
beauty resolution to use sheet masks more during 2020, well to give you an update
I haven't, so another resolution bites the dust.
