Dior’s Catwalk Skincare

Catwalk Skincare: Dior channels the energy and fresh spirit of its ready-to-wear collections into its new Hydra LIFE Skincare Collection.

 Brand: Dior

City: Paris

Launch: Hydra Life Skincare

Backstory: When Peter Philips took over as Creative Director of Makeup and Image at Dior, he went directly to the laboratories and started working on innovation. He took his experience creating looks for fashion shows in Milan, Paris & New York and challenged the scientists to develop interesting textures, new effects and skin-pampering formulas. The response has been phenomenal. Dior Beauty is now cutting-edge and leading in terms of innovation.

Catwalk Skincare: Following the success of Dior makeup under Philips, the famous French Fashion House is about to revolutionize skincare for beauty enthusiasts. Think of it as skincare with the same cool edge as makeup: interesting textures, easy-to-wear and soothing on the skin.

Paris Ready-to-Wear: You’ll notice that the makeup for the spring Dior fashion show in Paris was minimal. Backstage, it was all about products like these to boost hydration and add a healthy glow to models’ complexions.

Dior Hydra LIFE

Concept: a new generation of natural skincare using ultra-sensorial textures & highly concentrated, naturally-derived ingredients to hydrate skin

Technological breakthrough: Dior is the first brand to partner with the Human Microbiome Project, a worldwide collaborative project based on the research of the Skin Flora Genes. With the help of 200 researchers & 250 patents, this group has discovered that rebalancing and preserving the Skin Flora on the forth layer of the skin is essential to maintaining a healthy glowing complexion. An unbalanced Skin Flora leads to dehydration & redness.

Star ingredient: Harberlea Flower empowers skin to regulate its own hydration and increase skin’s natural ability to produce lipids & humectants by 90%.

Additional ingredients: French Mallow Flower extract, citrus, apricot grains, lotus seed, Echinacea, pink clay, white pine tree oil, sweet almond oil & jojoba oil

Dior Hydra LIFE Fresh Hydration Sorbet Crème

This ultra-fresh gel is highly concentrated in natural Mallow & Harberlea leaves to stimulate the skin’s natural moisturizing ability. Skin is instantly moisturized & plumpled day-after-day.
