Do we take care of ourselves more or less? Have we added any new steps to the daily routine?

Be careful, I'm talking about facial and body care. Not if we more or less fix ourselves, if we put on makeup to make video calls or if we comb our hair to be at home as if we were going to the Oscars. That is another matter entirely …
What I mean is to take care of the skin and give it an extra pampering , super necessary in the time we are living, don't you think?

Its formula contains 1% pure retinol, which reduces fine lines, sun damage, and aging.

This mask is one of those that dries a bit when you wear it for a while and, I don't know about you, but that gives me the feeling that it works more. Removes toxins and impurities from the skin and leaves the skin fine, refining the pores and leaving a rested complexion. For a reason Laura P. has chosen her for her beauty favorites.
Nuxe
€ 29.79Crème Prodigieuse de Nuxe
Perhaps it is because it is a brand that can be found in pharmacies, but the truth is that there are several of the editorial staff that use Nuxe products.

I love it!

Choose the one mask more appropriate to the needs of your skin and enjoy a hydrated and firm face. ".

Here I also leave you some masks compatible with this device, the truth is that they all look super good, I would not know which one to choose!
