The mystery behind the healing fountains : Regenerating Life Plankton™ 

In 1952, founder Dr. Jos Julien cracked the mystery behind the healing fountains of the French Pyrenees and discovered the unique thermal ingredient: Life Plankton™, hereby founding Biotherm. Since 1994 the brand has harnessed the ingredient’s potency using biotechnology through a process called Fermogenesis™, to extract the fraction without harming nature, making Life Plankton™ 100% natural, 100% renewable, 100% biodegradable. This ingredient can be found in all Biotherm products. 

The Star Transveral Serum: Life Plankton Elixir 

With the highest concentration of 5% of this ingredient, the Life Plankton Elixir is the hero serum of the brand. It is a transversal serum which helps to soothe and regenerate skin after only 8 days of use. Other benefits include helping to reduce redness, protection from pollution as well as helping to smooth out fine lines. We recommend warming up 3 to 4 drops of serum in your palms then massage it gently onto cleansed skin, taking particular care around your eye area.  

 

The Moisturising Marvel: Cera Repair Barrier Cream 

Fight first signs of ageing with the Cera Repair Barrier Cream, recommended for those 20+. Leveraging the power of ceramides, the formula made of 94% natural origins works to repair the skin’s barrier leaving you with a soothed, stronger and healthier-looking complexion from the first use. Infused with 100% natural, renewable and biodegradable Life Plankton™ probiotic extracts, the sustainable lightweight formula uses potent anti-ageing technology to regenerate and repair your skin. We recommend applying this after the Life Plankton Elixir to help repair your skin from daily urban aggressions.  

Top tip: For the perfect morning routine, apply a few drops of the Life Plankton Elixir to clean, cleansed skin. Next, take a small amount of the Cera Repair Barrier Cream and massage into your skin, pressing and curling out your fingers like the pattern of a wave to improve internal circulation, leaving you with a healthy glow for your day ahead. This combination also works to tackle maskne!

As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine. Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
