在社交媒體主導的時代，人們趨之若鶩地追求社群媒體上精緻無暇的面孔，無論是深邃的輪廓、柔焦的毛孔、亦或是光彩奪目的濾鏡效果，都成為了新時代的審美標準。在這無盡的追求中，我們逐漸對於自然膚質感到焦慮混淆，忘了自己該是甚麼樣子。要如何優雅地生活，或許法國女人更懂得在時光煮雨的保養中，讓自然美悄然綻放。「優雅地變老」─ 並不意味著肌膚必須承受皺紋；女人「永遠的 21歲 」也不非得依賴侵入性的改變。透過煥顏科技護膚，肌膚可以更自然健康地煥發蛻變。

In the age of social media, pursuing a flawless complexion has become a tangible obsession. As we anxiously chase after chiseled contours, blurred pores, and the radiant allure of filters, we slowly lose sight of our authentic selves in digitally fabricated collectives. Perhaps the French woman’s philosophy of elegant skincare has allowed her natural beauty to flourish over time. “Aging gracefully” does not imply surrendering to wrinkles or resorting to invasive measures to maintain the “forever 21” look. Cosmeceuticals act as a modern alchemy, restoring the skin’s natural glow and healthy radiance.

科技煥顏新美學 ─ 冰封精華 V 系列

女人的自然美隨著歲月沉澱，展現出不同階段的韻味：30 歲流露出的是知性光彩，40 歲蘊含的是故事魅力，而 50 歲則散發著閱歷的氣質。然而，如何優雅地綻放這份成熟之美，而非僅僅停留在皺紋的表面？近年來，頂級品牌紛紛推出了「煥顏科技保養」，通過尖端科學技術，鎖住肌膚所需的養分，並讓肌膚煥發重生，宛如初生般地綻放澎彈緊緻。

瑞士頂級保養品牌 VALMONT 憑藉其悠久醫學美容背景，以及天然純淨的配方，20年來持續研發無痕煥發的護膚品。憑藉著對於科技護膚的專業知識， VALMONT 終於在4年研發淬鍊下推出「抗皺緊提 V 系列 」，為肌膚抗皺、緊緻提供更精準的修護，以「C-Drone 微囊」的新系列，保護脂溶性維生素C，進而賦活肌膚光澤，封存美麗澎潤的肌膚彈性。

「C-Drone 」中的三種成分，包括維生素C 和 Matrixyl 抗皺配體胜肽，透過生物聚合物載體PLGA，提高吸收效率，從根源抗皺。該系列包括4款明星產品 ─「抗皺緊提V精粹 」、「抗皺緊提V乳霜 」、「抗皺緊提V眼霜 」、「抗皺緊提V頸霜 」均蘊含 VALMONT 獨家專利三離子複合 DNA、微脂囊 RNA 以及 C-Drone，與各自的特殊成分相輔相成，映襯出 VALMONT 在修護肌膚彈性技術上的卓越。

在綠意盎然的開心果樹園中，亦可見 VALMONT 自然與科技的完美融合。「抗皺緊提V精粹」富含開心果樹的樹酯萃取——「視黃醇活膚因子」，保護自然維他命A不被破壞。其半透明的乳狀質地，輕柔地貼合肌膚，賦予肌膚自然無痕的彈性光采。

此外，來自印度的豆科植物─補骨脂酚萃取，以成為業界的抗氧化新星。「抗皺緊提V乳霜 」正是利用補骨脂酚萃取撫平紋理，並即予肌膚細膩呵護。有別於傳統的刺激性 A 醇煥膚，補骨脂酚萃取溫和的性質，可幫助肌膚對抗轉瞬即逝的歲月。

在生活壓力之下，肌膚的每個細節都更容易顯得疲憊。VALMONT 作為益生菌保養的先驅，運用「瑞士冰川益菌萃取物 」，以乳霜和精華液混合質地打造「抗皺緊提V眼霜 」，維持肌膚光采彈性。

為延續廣受歡迎的「抗皺緊提V頸霜 」，VALMONT 特意保留了含有AWF⁵複合物的成分，為肩頸帶來平滑和緊緻肌膚。揮別過去的刺激性護膚，VALMONT 讓煥膚保養成為柔嫩肌膚的最佳守護者，將大自然的力量融入護膚，顛覆傳統觀念，煥發新世代的法式浪漫膚質。

C-Drone Technology: The Frosting Perfection

The natural beauty of a woman evolves gracefully over time, with each phase radiating its unique allure: the sensual glow of her 30s, the captivating stories etched into her 40s, and the refined elegance in her 50s. How do we embrace the grace of aging without surrendering to its visible signs? In recent years, leading skincare brands have introduced cosmeceuticals that harness cutting-edge scientific advancements to lock in essential nutrients, allowing the rejuvenated  skin to appear youthfully firm and supple.

At the forefront of this revolution is the prestigious Swiss skincare brand VALMONT, a pioneer in scientific cosmetics for over 20 years, drawing from a rich heritage of natural formulations. Their latest innovation, the “V-Lift Series,” is the culmination of four years of intensive research, designed to precisely combat wrinkles and deliver firming benefits through cutting-edge technology—”C-Drone Peptide.” This system protects lipophilic vitamin C, delivering it directly to the inner layers, igniting a natural radiance as the collagen is deeply sealed within the skin.

The C-Drone technology is powered by three active ingredients—vitamin C, Matrixyl, and biopolymer PLGA—that synergize to enhance absorption and combat wrinkles from within. The series includes four star products: “V-Lift Serum,” “V-Lift Cream,” “V-Lift Eye,” and “V-Lift Neck,” each enriched with VALMONT’s exclusive patented Triple DNA Complex, RNA Liposomes, and C-Drone. These elements complement one another, showcasing VALMONT’s unparalleled expertise in skin elasticity.

Amid verdant pistachio orchards, VALMONT achieves harmony between nature and science. The “V-Lift Serum,” infused with pistachia resin— is an active retinol, preserving natural vitamin A from degradation. Its semi-translucent milky texture gently embraces the skin with a youthfully flawless and supple radiance.

Bakuchiol, a leguminous plant extract from India, has emerged as a new star in skincare for its potent antioxidant properties. The “V-Lift Cream” harnesses this gentle yet powerful extract to smooth crepey skin and fortify the skin barrier, offering a tender alternative to traditional retinoids against the passage of time.

Under stress, delicate contour details are prone to fatigue complexions. As a pioneer in probiotic skincare, VALMONT has crafted the “V-Lift Eye” with Swiss glacier bacteria, blending cream and serum to maintain skin plumpness.

Continuing the legacy of the “V-Lift Neck,” VALMONT has preserved the AWF⁵ Complex, bringing smoothness and firmness to the neck and shoulders. Moving beyond irritation caused by past skincare products, VALMONT’s cosmeceutical innovations stand as the ultimate guardians of supple skin, integrating the power of nature to defy traditional concepts of aging and ushering in a new era of romantic French radiance.

護膚改革新時代 ─ 天天擦的電波乳霜

在這個被社交媒體和外表所主導的時代，《紐約時報》提出了一個近期熱門的觀點，認為不同世代的人，有著與實際年齡不符的外貌。這讓我們不禁反思，世代與年齡的刻板印象是否只是一種束縛？到了 40、50 歲，肌膚是否能如少女般嬌嫩、吹彈可破？

發起「煥膚科技保養」世代革命、延續「美麗即是力量」理念的赫蓮娜，改革性地推出專利繃帶科技，緊緻肌膚、對抗老化。品牌摯友林心如，從模特兒、演員蛻變成製作人，同樣以自信與勇敢的態度，實現「超越自我，逆時之美」的品牌理念，同時她也希望女人能夠以感性、堅定的直覺活出燦爛的人生。

秉持著赫蓮娜夫人勇於創新的精神，赫蓮娜與瑞士頂級醫學美容中心的國際權威 Dr. Pfulg，攜手研發科技護膚，在長達7年的研究後，成功取得42項專利，並推出「天天擦的電波乳霜」─「黑繃帶」。黑繃帶以極致修護配方融入可舒緩肌膚的甘草酸、鎖水保濕的玻尿酸，並以冷壓技術注入高濃度普拉斯鏈，打造完美抗老配方。林心如表示:「黑繃帶宛如一雙隱形的手支撐著我的臉部肌膚，尤其是熬夜後使用黑繃帶，第二天臉上看不出疲憊感，細紋變得不明顯，輪廓線更柔焦立體，我也可以優雅地面對各種緊急膚況。」

「黑繃帶」可放大並延長電波後的美麗，隨著雙手在輪廓上輕輕撫過，細膩的乳霜微微融化在膚溫之下，讓肌膚瞬間便能感受到黑繃帶的修復力量。如果想要縮短電波拉皮的恢復時間，黑繃帶絕對是不二之選，讓肌膚蛻變無痕、美麗加乘！黑繃帶也適合沒有接受醫美療程的女性，緊緻、撫紋並幫助肌膚恢復澎潤水嫩感。當肌膚表面出現瑕疵、粗糙，或是泛紅與乾燥感，黑繃帶都能迅速修復並舒緩肌膚，讓肌膚輕鬆應對每一天！

黑繃帶的修復力在臨床實驗中也十分卓越，高延展的霧面質地輕薄綿密，在夏季末到早秋的乾燥氣候中，也能迅速被肌膚吸收，不會產生悶厚、黏膩感。此外，持續使用黑繃帶，不僅能維持緊緻的肌膚，更能隨著時間的流逝，讓肌膚得到更深層的保護，即便素顏，膚質也能看上去細嫩光亮，更有少女的健康澎潤感。無論是作為旅行中的奢華 spa，還是日常修護，黑繃帶讓我們相信美麗不會被年齡所牽制。黑繃帶的「煥顏科技保養」就如同被褥之於睡眠般重要，讓肌膚得到最奢華溫暖的懷抱。清晨醒來後，肌膚如同《艾蜜莉在巴黎》中的法式女人般，嶄露天生從容、自信與美麗的優雅光彩。

Technological Radical Era ─ Replasty

In an era where social media saturates our lives, The New York Times sparked a thought-provoking conversation, exploring how people across generations often defy conventional notions of age. It raises a pertinent question: Are age and generation merely societal constraints? Can our skin truly maintain the youthful, flawless glow of our 20s well into our 40s and 50s?

Helena Rubinstein, a trailblazer in skincare cosmetics, is a radical visionary who firmly believes that “beauty is power.” The brand is redefining the future of anti-aging with its revolutionary patented bandage technology, designed to firm the skin and combat the signs of aging. Brand ambassador Ruby Lin, who has gracefully evolved from model and actress to producer, embodies the brand spirit of “transcending oneself with timeless beauty.” Her sensual and courageous intuition inspires women to live vibrant, empowered lives.

Continuing Madame Rubinstein’s legacy of innovation, the brand has collaborated with Dr. Pfulg, a leading authority from LaClinic Montreux in Switzerland, to create cream with post-interventional care in mind. After seven years of extensive research and the acquisition of 42 patents, the “Replasty Age Recovery Night” cream unveils — a thermage-like cream with a bandage texture designed for everyday use, known as the “Black Bandage.” This luxurious formula, crafted with advanced freezing technology, connotes soothing glycyrrhizinic acid, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and the innovative anti-aging complex 30% pro-xylane™ in its highest concentration. Ruby describes the Black Bandage as “an invisible hand supporting my face, especially after late nights. By morning, my skin appears refreshed, free from dullness, with softened fine lines and a beautifully sculpted, blurred-focus effect. With Black Bandage, my skin can face any challenge with poise and grace.”

The “Black Bandage” amplifies and prolongs the glow of thermage treatments. As the fingers gently glide across the contours, the silky cream melts in the warmth of the skin. An instant power of repairs envelops the skin. Black Bandage is the first choice to restore and amplify a glowy complexion after Thermage. For those who do not require post-interventional care, the Black Bandage delivers firming, smoothing, and a plump radiance. Whether addressing blemishes, rough texture, or post-treatment redness and dryness, the Black Bandage soothes and restores the skin, preparing it for an effortless day.

In addition to its clinically tested restoring power, the Black Bandage boasts a featherlight, highly spreadable matte texture that is easily absorbed by the skin, even in dry,  transitional seasons, without any heaviness or stickiness. With continued use, the Black Bandage helps maintain a firm complexion and protects damaged skin. It imbues bare skin with smooth, luminous, healthy, and youthful plumpness. Whether as a luxurious spa treatment on the go or a daily skincare ritual, the Black Bandage assures us that beauty knows no age. It’s the ultimate cocoon, offering the skin a lavish and comforting embrace. In the morning, your complexion will radiate with the effortless elegance, confidence, and beauty of a French woman straight out of Emily in Paris.
