We simply can’t talk luxury skin care without giving a shoutout to La Mer now, can we? Founded by physicist, Dr Max Huber, the brand discovered that sea kelp unlocked regenerating potential, thus leading to the creation of the brand’s proprietary Miracle Broth Complex (the potent blend of giant sea kelp, vitamins and minerals in every La Mer formula). Like what you’re hearing? Then it’s time to treat yourself to La Mer’s Deep Purifying Mask.
A creamy, cooling formula, it works to balance and revive your skin thank to a pretoxifying ferment and stone matrix (AKA a mix of softly purifying stones) which smooths texture and tone, exfoliates and clears blocked pores. The result? Refined, soft skin infused with a cocktail of nourishing nutrients.
