Skincare for brown beauties
Review of Decleor Aroma White Creme De Jour Eclaircissante FPS 15 Brightening Day Cream SPF 15 by
Prof.P
Advantages: It is effective
Disadvantages: It is costly
...The Aroma White Day Cream from Decleor is a great treatment cream for those with a darker skin tone. Its 'bright white' complex is designed to even out the skin tone and lighten dark patches whilst giving darker skin an added radiance.
As many women of colour already known, brown skin has a greater degree of natural pigment, known as melanin. This pigment gives a higher degree of protection from the sun, gives a rich, deep colour and allows women to keep the youthful texture of their skin for a longer time. But the production of melanin can also have its drawbacks, and one major problem for Asian and African women is uneven skin tone due to the over-production of melanin, especially after the skin faces any type of trauma, however small. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
It should be noted that dark marks caused...

Secret of smooth skin
Review of Decleor Exfoliating Shower Gel by
ali99
Advantages: All round excellent product
Disadvantages: none at all
...Most shower gels get you clean and that's about it. But this luxurious product from Decleor transforms a morning routine not only into a real pleasure, but also a highly effective beauty treatment. It contains the tiniest, gentlest exfoliating grains which slough away dead skin cells while the moisturising elements ensure skin is left amazingly smooth. The smell is gorgeous, as you might expect from Decleor, and the big 200ml tube will last for a very long time as you only need to use the smallest amount. Because it's so gentle this is suitable for all skin types....

Decleor Face Mask - wonderful!
Review of Decleor Mask Argile Et Aux Herbes / Clay & Herb Mask by
ivytoad
Advantages: A real treat, works really well
Disadvantages: Quite pricey for a small amount
...I really enjoyed using this face mask. I absolutely love the Decleor range and its great for splashing out on if you want to treat yourself (which I am really naughty at doing!)
As with all the other Decleor products, the tube is minimalist and attractive in the trade mark Decleor yellow colour. The Decleor logo is at the top and then the name of the product around half way down. Then underneath what the product is in French, and then the translation in English.
The size of the tube is 50ml and costs £23.50 from the Decleor website.
The face mask is quite pricey for quite a small tube but it works really well and you really feel like your face has had a good clean afterwards!
It is suitable for all skin types and it meant to dissolve impurities and cleanse the skin. My skin felt really soft after using it.
The mask is a clay...

this toner is well worth the money
Review of Decleor Floral Toner by
emmamcr
Advantages: Good quality, effective, luxurious
Disadvantages: Addictive!
...I have been using decleor floral toner for a couple of years, along with many other decleor products.
I was very cynical about premium brands, but I soon noticed a real difference with this one, especially in smoothing my skin, which was prone to 'bumpiness'. It may seem like a lot of money to spend, but I find you don't need much in comparison to other brands, and if you buy the larger sizes they work ou very reasonable...a cheaper brand may get used up a lot quicker.
And my philosophy is: it might be a bit of an expense now, but it's an investment in your skin forever. we should all be allowed a bit of pampering, and I think this is a great way to do it.
I'd recommend it as a great present for anyone who needs a treat, especially in conjunction with the other decleor products. It would be excellent for a teenager, as it contains...

Decleor Firming Stretch Mark Cream
Review of Decleor Body Firming & Renewal Tonilastil Firming Stretch Mark Cream With Plant Extracts by
ivytoad
Advantages: Makes skin feel soft and smooth
Disadvantages: Haven't really seen the desired effect!
...I really like the Decleor range and when I saw this product I really wanted to try it to see if it really did what it said on the tube 'Firming Stretch Mark Cream'.
The design of the tube is simple and attractive. Like a lot of other Decleor products it comes in a nice yellow colour. It has 'Decleor' written at the top of the tube and then the product name in French, and then its translation in to English. It comes with a yellow screw top lid so it is easy to squeeze the lotion out of the tube.
The cream has a good 12 month shelf life once it has been opened, and if you use it everyday it shouldn't be a problem using it up in this amount of time!
The Decleor line isn't that available on the high street, although I know John Lewis stocks it. It is quite widely available on line and Decleor have their own UK website, and amazon also...

Decleor doesn't work 4 everyone!
Review of Decleor Prolagene Gel by
Yazzi1
Advantages: Light gel, easily absorbed, lasts for a while
Disadvantages: Expensive, not effective on older marks/ scars
...I was first introduced to the Decleor range by a family member, and they recommended this product for the stretch marks and scars that I had. Previously to purchasing this product I had various other products, which to be honest did not seem that effective in the long term or did not show consistent results which I was satisfied with.
Why use this product?
************************
The main emphasise on the Decleor range is that it is all formulated using the concept of aromatherapy, therefore using natural ingredients on the skin.
The prolagene gel can be used to firm or prevent/ minimise the appearance of marks and scars. It is used exactly the same as you would use a lotion after a bath or shower, making sure that you massage the necessary areas of the body or face. The gel is easily spread therefore a minimal amount is needed...

TRY IT, your skin will thank you
Review of Decleor Body Exfoliating Cream by
nancynounette
Advantages: really efficient
Disadvantages: expensive
...Now you can see that I am addicted with Decleor products but it is because they are really efficient. Indeed since I use the Decleor exfoliating body cream, I can see the difference, my skin and particularly my legs are softer. You need to try it before the summer, the beach, the bikini...
This exfoliating cream is a good and easy way to make your skin softer. You must use it before your shower or your bath, but not every day, only once a week (or twice a week if you really need it), it is quite enough.
Apply it to dry skin for parts of your body in need of intensive exfoliating (knees, elbows...) and to damp skin for other parts of your body. To make this cream more efficient you must apply it in circular massages (and maybe you can ask your boyfriend to do it, I think it will be even more efficient!!)
Decleor exfoliating cream has...

The best skin care product
Review of Decleor Aromessence Iris / Iris Oil by
redbabywolf
Advantages: Keeps your skin feeling and looking younger
Disadvantages: None
...I have been using iris oil every day underneath my moisturising cream for over 2 years. All you need is jut 3 drops of the oil onto 1st, 2nd and 3rd fingers and smooth into the skin before your usual beauty regime. It makes your skin feel really soft. It is not greasy and protects your skin from the elements.
The bottle goes a long way if used correctly (1 bottle can least for up to a whole year!) You don't need to use a Decleor moisturiser (I like to alternate with using one of the more expensive brands with a cheaper one as I think your skin can get used to one product and become immune to it). I have just moved into a new area and some new friends were trying to guess my age between themselves and when they asked me if I minded telling them how old I was, were really urprised to find I out I was at least 10 years older than...

The most fantastic moisturiser for sensitive skin
Review of Decleor Harmonie Essential by
alisondrugan
Advantages: Amazing results
Disadvantages: You may initially think it is a little expensive
...I started using Decleor about 3 years ago when I was at the end of my tether. I have really sensitive skin and my face constantly looked like I'd scrubbed it with a brillo pad on the cheeks. Most days it felt like that too.
The therapist gave me a diagnostic facial, which lasts about 45 minutes and is free if you buy two or more products, and among the products she recommended was HARMONIE ESSENTIAL. Within days of using it, I could see and feel a difference in my skin and the pure testimony to it is that I am still using it three years later. Now my cheeks are not bright red, my skin does not feel raw and irritated and I can wear make-up without feeling my skin is burning. On top of that it smells absolutely gorgeous and because Decleor products are aromatherapy based, you are not putting loads of chemicals onto your skin.
I really...

Decleor oh la la!
Review of Decleor Body Well Being Exfoliating Body Care Plant Extracts by
ivytoad
Advantages: Makes skin really smooth, a nice treat
Disadvantages: A bit on the pricey side
...I really like Decleors line of beauty products. This exfoliating product is especially good, but I think that you are paying quite a lot for the brand name as I think that a cheaper product could do the job just as well. But this is really nice for a treat.
The tube comes in a 200ml size and costs around £27 (from the Decleor website). The key ingredients in it are Micro-Beads, Sweet Almond Oil and Limnanthes Alba, Aloe Vera Gel and Soya Lecithin. As it has plant extracts in it you feel like you are using something really natural.
The exfoliating cream itself is white and quite creamy and it has tiny exfoliating beads in it which are really effective. You can use it for all over your body. I found that it made my skin really soft and clean, and it didn't dry out my skin which meant that I didn't have to moisturise afterwards...
