Germaine de Capuccini has launched a new treatment to target epigenetic ageing.

Epigenetic ageing is visible ageing caused by non-genetic influences, usually environmental or lifestyle factors.
Our individual history, our trajectory in life, how and where we have lived, our diet, hygiene, behaviour and even how we relate to other people are all factors that have a significant impact on our skin’s appearance and the way it ages.

Germaine de Capuccini believe that these factors and their effects are reversible and have created a treatment that they claim can adapt to the skin’s history and reverse/delay signs of ageing.
Timexpert SNRS Global Anti-Age On (Timexpert) is targeted at people affected by dry, dehydrated, ageing, mature and hormonal skin.

The product, a mineral mask, is formulated with a highly concentrated extract from the calendula flower, which reactivates genes by ‘switching on’ their essential functions, and protects the skin from premature ageing.
The formula also features a zinc-glycene complex, designed to increase the skin’s defences and protect from visible signs of ageing.

Other ingredients include: hyaluronic acid and a high purity collagen activator designed to hydrate, plump, firm, tone and ‘fill in’ the skin, for revitalised, uniform and luminous skin.
The treatment consists of a facial massage using a lissage spoon, a tool shaped to adapt to the contours of the face, which is placed in ice water before the treatment. The mask is then applied to the entire face, including the eye area, and plasticizes before peeling off.

Timexpert is available as a spa treatment and an at home skin care product.
