Healthy and youthful-looking skin is something most of us are chasing.  From bounce to firmness, there are a lot of ways to describe youthful skin but as a fact of life we can’t escape, everything tends to go south and a little crepy over time.  This is a result of natural deterioration of collagen and elastin, two structural proteins found in the lower layers of skin that lend skin its elasticity and smoothness. Collagen really is the gift that keeps on giving and provides countless benefits for our skin BUT you lose approximately 1% of collagen production each year after the age of 20 and significantly more post menopause and similarly the elastin levels decline causing skin to stretch and sag.  Besides ageing the biggest factors that contribute to loss of elasticity are UV damage, smoking, and genes- so if you’ve got wrinkles blame your mum!

Unrivalled when it comes to ‘tightening, toning, firming and volumizing,’ the Defi Lift range is a tour de force in the realm of age-defying skincare and has gained a loyal fan base since its launch over two decades ago. A way to dial back time, restore a firmer complexion and give skin that youthful glow we all crave you will want to turn to these potent yet luxury formulations that you - and your skin cells - deserve. Let’s step into the Defi Lift world and introduce these incredible formulas….

Needing no introduction Defi Lift Toned Face Cream is a real jewel in the crown and both high-performance and plush. A formula that has remained unchanged for over 20 years, it promises a firmer, smoother, and supple complexion and it most certainly delivers. While your skin enjoys the smooth, buttery textured cream, the firming power of Plant Proteins get to work repairing the scaffolding (aka the collagen and elastin), reducing the appearance of slackening whilst the addition of skin plumping, and moisture-retaining Encapsulated Hyaluronic Acid and nourishing Mango Butter leaves the complexion softer and suppler allowing skin to quickly recover its youthful vitality. This is a top tier moisturiser that will really ‘perk up’ your complexion.

Defi Lift Firming Eye Serum is a potent ‘genie’ in a pump bottle and its drill-sergeant tough on pesky crow’s feet and eyelid creases. Utilizing an advanced Peptide blend combined with Paracress Extract it works similar to botox and actually communicates to tensed-up lines and wrinkles and tells them to ‘relax’ - what a smooth operator! The formula has also been blessed with a magic matrix of skin tensing actives including Filmexel and Polylift (from Sweet Proteins) which work in unison to create an immediate second skin to ‘lift and lock’ skin in place whilst creating a veil of protection over the delicate eye area.  This is an eye remedy that understands the need for prevention not just intervention!

Just one step in your routine with a huge number of benefits, serums and oils are the answer to your prayers when it comes to amping up your skincare routine.  And there isn’t much Defi Lift Firming Facial Oil can’t do for your skin - think boosting hydration and elasticity, visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and reinforcing your moisture barrier. This is a highly concentrated next-gen oil infused with a patented blend of industry favourite peptides, tropical Bidens Pilosa plant (a miraculous alternative to retinol) and nutrient rich oils that your skin craves on a daily basis. Pairing a luxurious, nourishing base with supercharged ingredients skin feels transformed, and a crepy texture restored to its velvety best.

Like shapewear for the neck, Defi Lift Neck and Decollete Gel is a highly concentrated serum gel that prevents sagging and decreases the visible effects of gravity on the skin. Feather light on texture and instantly absorbed it is infused with a blend of stand-out ingredients including potent Sorghum Bicolor Stalk Juice, an innovative skin tensor which instantly combats the effect of gravity simultaneously refining texture and tone. The addition of avant-garde ‘Fixilift Technology,’ (a blend of Peruvian Tara Fruit and Elkhorn Sea Moss) creates a second skin prompting an immediate lift to the facial contours whilst steamrolling any etched-in lines, hollows, and indentations and refreshing Menthol renowned for its cooling properties provides the perfect pick-me-up to dull devitalised complexions. Think of it as ‘barely-there’ neck shapewear that will allow you to look and feel your best in any outfit.

I have been so excited to write about the latest addition to the Defi Lift line launching this March! Cutting-edge science is hugely responsible for the creation of Defi Lift Active Firming Serum, a triple threat to the signs of ageing: targeting firmness, smoothness, and radiance. The astounding effects of this serum unfold with regular application as it marries a breakthrough ‘super peptide’ duo called Replexium™ that has been demonstrated to dramatically boost skin’s natural repair process significantly reducing the appearance of wrinkles whilst botanical tensors visibly tighten for more sculpted-looking contours. The wealth of thirst-quenching Marine actives extracted from the depths of the ocean support the natural recovery of your skin taking it from tired to dewy and fatigued to fresh. This is a dynamic serum that takes a ‘FIRM’ stand!

Step your skincare up to the plate and take facial fitness to another level with this starring line up of firming and toning heroes which will keep your skin fighting fit, re-densified and smooth AND without you even having to break a sweat.
