R oses have long been known for their nutritive properties, especially for sensitive skins and those prone to suffer with external aggressors. ‘The Age of Enlightenment’ being sumptuous and infinitely inventive has always guided Monsieur Christian Dior in his boldest creations. Today we are offered the high performance range and latest inspiration, Dior Prestige. Queen Marie-Antoinette was somewhat of a muse, due to her exceptional beauty. The Rose Souveraine flower and its intensely hydrating properties heavily influenced her regime. The amount of makeup and white powder she wore caused her to suffer from extreme dry skin. This flower was used to create a concentrated and precious ‘absolute’, which became the only product to treat her condition perfectly and therefore, protected her porcelain complexion. This process was known as ‘enfleurage’. Inspired by this procedure, Christian Dior created ‘L’Huile Souveraine’ (Plumping Oil-Serum) and ‘La Crème Souveraine’ (Rich Restorative Cream) which are both the most potent in Dior’s age-defying range. They both deliver the highest degrees of hydration and rejuvenation to the skin. With these levels of nutrition is skin that is soft and smooth to the touch. Revitalised and plumped, moisture of this deliverance is key to the anti-ageing process. Cold enfleurage is the only process capable of extracting the active ingredients found in the dense, fleshy petals of the Rose Souveraine. Their delicate, velvety texture is too fragile to be submitted to any heat source so a three-step intense procedure was invented. These techniques live on today at Dior, with now more modern advances able to lend a hand whilst still being completely eco-friendly. It is without doubt, the purest and most concentrated ingredient ever created by Dior, now infused into two of their most exciting launches to date. Dry skin will be nourished, delicate skin will be treated. This in turn will make the skin look and feel younger and more radiant. ‘Rose de Granville Nectar’ is combined with the Rose Souveraine to intensify the treatment further and ensure it is absorbed completely into the skin’s epidermal layer. L’Huile Souveraine is composed of 100%natural oils. It melts into the skin with ease and comfort, instantly transforming the texture and feel. Apply after cleanser and before moisturiser, once or twice daily for maximum benefits. Follow on with La Crème Souveraine for optimum results. It is an intensely rich yet light to the touch cream that will restore your skin’s luminosity with its incredibly potent ingredients. From deep below the surface layer of the skin, this cream penetrates and gives skin the boost of natural moisture in the most delicate way. Your skin will be left nourished and glowing from within. A subtle scent of the roses will lift your spirits and ease your senses. The ‘Satin Ritual’ range, also from the Dior Prestige line, will complete your skincare regime.
