The luxury products we love come to Woolworths Sandton City LA PRAIRIE

Luxury Swiss skincare brand, La Prairie has just opened a counter atWoolworths Sandton City–butit’s so much more than justa counter. There’s something to be said about this brand that’s managedtopreserve itsmore traditionaldefinitionofluxurywhenother luxurybrands are launchingmore affordable andaccessible offshoots.

So, what can you expect from the new counter? Seeing as La Prairie prides itself on what the brand calls ‘Swissness’ or, in other words, sleekness and elegance with a bit of mystery, you can’t help but feel like you’re playing the role ofawealthy, stay-at-home momfroma‘90s movie whenyou’re perusing the counter … you know, the kind clad in cashmere with a perfectly cut bob. The ornate outer packaging that looks like it could be inanartgalleryisjustthebeginning–the real luxury can be found inside the gorgeous jars and bottles.

WhenonethinksofLaPrairie,thefirstthingthatcomestomindiscaviar. The brand capitalised on this intriguing ingredient back in 1987 with its debutcaviarproduct, Skin CaviarDermo Beads –beautifulcaviar-like beads containing caviar extract that give skin a boost and help to renew its texture. With a focus on innovation and skin science, La Prairie has since expanded into a whole caviar collection that you can now shop at Woolworths Sandton City, including a body cream, a sleep mask and even a cushion compact foundation.

Hello Joburg • March 2020 • www.hellojoburg.co.za 14 As for our favourite La Prairie products? The Skin Caviar Luxe Cream Sheer(R7,890) is arich face cream in a sheer formula that every woman should have in her skincare collection. Reminiscent of a silky vanilla yoghurt but with a floral scent, it hydrates, plumps andfirmsyourskinwithoutfeeling heavy. You won’t believe that a product so weightless can be so

super-effective. We recommend using it as a day cream under your make-up or as a night cream in the summer months. If you’re not into fragranced face creams, this might not be for you though.

Another must-have in your antiageing routine is the Cellular Radiance Night Cream(R11,410), a beauty splurge for the face and décolletage, which ages faster due to sun exposure. Let’s be honest … gravity works against us ladies! While your body rests, this intensive nighttimetreatmentdoesitsmagic–it renews the skin, replenishes hydration and restores a natural glow. The secret is a moisture-binding complex of perfecting and anchoring peptides combined with mica and liquid crystals. Enveloping your skin in this night cream is the definition of utter luxury … all you see is pure radiance.

Last but not least, we can’t live without the brand-new White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire (R8,500), which is basicallyafilter in a jar. Not only is it effective in brightening and lifting the skin, you’ll also be amazed when the wrinkles under your eyes nearly disappear within four to eight weeks. This rich eye cream also nourishes and comforts with deep moisture and does wonders at fading brown spotting under the eyes. Even if you don’t have pigmentation, you’ll appreciate the soft glow that comes from using it morning and night.

Sure, La Prairie is pricy (to put it lightly), but we like to justify it as being an investmentin yourskin. Trustus –when you see the results, you’ll agree thatthebrandismore thanjustflashybottlesforthe uber-wealthy. You may even be willing to break out your highest limit credit card for more … don’t say we didn’t warn you!
