The new glamour treatment is a combination of diamond beauty and vitamin C mask that together result in a glowing, glamorous look fitting for stars. Be it for the New Year’s Eve party or any other special event, the treatment is pampering and relaxing, and the result is a lighter and more even-looking skin tone. The technology is based on tiny diamond parts that remove dead skin cells and gently smooth the surface of the skin, exposing a healthy, fresh skin layer and allowing nutrients to penetrate the skin. Combined with the anti-aging Lec40 formula, which includes pure lecithin, vitamins, omega 3 and anti-oxidants, the treatment helps eliminate dark circles and puffy eyes. To finish the treatment the Power C lifting and anti-aging mask provides extended hydration and helps smooth fine lines. A winning treatment to start the New Year.
