Winter is hard on skin. Cold air outside, central heating inside, and you move between the two several times a day. Each change pulls a little more moisture out and wears down the barrier that’s meant to keep it in. The skin feels tighter and rougher, fine lines show more than they did in summer, and the glow fades. It builds week by week until spring.
Most winter facials only add hydration. That isn’t enough. Hydration brings moisture into the skin, and a strong barrier keeps it there. Winter skin needs both, and the White Truffle Pro Treatment is built to do both.
At its centre is white truffle, rich in ceramides that match the skin’s own: the lipids that hold the barrier together and stop water escaping. Niacinamide, vitamin C, vitamin D and B vitamins support the barrier and protect against the oxidative stress of cold air and dry heat. Tremella and saccharide isomerate bind water into the skin for up to 72 hours. Cassava root forms a fine film on the surface, so the skin looks smoother and firmer straight away.
Then comes 25 minutes of our Elite massage, the signature massage developed here at Skinportant. It works the actives into the skin and releases the tension you carry in your face. You leave with skin that feels comfortable again, looks smoother and has its glow back.
A luxury oil cleanser removes make-up, oil and impurities without stripping the skin. In winter this matters: a harsh cleanse takes away the very lipids the skin is already short of.
An enzyme peel, activated with steam, gently dissolves the dry, dead cells that build up on winter skin. There’s no acid and no tingle. A toner follows to rebalance the skin and prepare it for the white truffle stages.
We apply the first layer of White Truffle Serum and treat the eye area with the White Truffle Eye Mask:
White Truffle Serum is a lightweight serum that combines white truffle extract with tremella (silver ear mushroom), whose sugars hold water much like hyaluronic acid, and cassava root, which forms a fine film that smooths and firms the surface straight away.
White Truffle Eye Mask is a rich, nourishing eye treatment for the most delicate skin on the face. It hydrates intensively, smooths fine lines and leaves the eye area looking firmer and more rested.
The White Truffle Massage Mask works as both a mask and a massage cream. It rests on the skin for ten minutes while you relax with an arm or scalp massage. We then massage in what remains with 25 minutes of our Elite massage, which boosts microcirculation, helps the active ingredients absorb and releases the tension you carry in your face.
We remove the mask with toner and apply a second layer of White Truffle Serum. Then comes SPF to protect the skin, followed by a skin-refining moisturiser to finish. A warm towel on your shoulders, and you’re done. Winter sun still counts.
