The STELLA Skin Regeneration Journey

Step 1: Wake up your skin and stimulate blood flow

"To revive tired skin and stimulate blood flow, apply Alter-Care Serum to the centre of your face and smooth across to the hair line – repeat this three times”, explains Hadda. “Next, smooth it up from the corners of your mouth to the forehead, applying more pressure as you reach the top. Complete the ritual by softly pinching all over your skin to stimulate skin tissue repair and regeneration".

Your skin will instantly feel hydrated and revitalised the first time you use Alter-Care Serum, thanks to mineral-rich ingredients such as Marine Spring Water, and after four weeks, skin vitality and luminosity increase by over 100%.

Step 2 - Reduce puffiness in the face and around the eyes

To reduce puffiness, Hadda suggests starting at the lower part of the face, and working Alter-Care Serum down to the neck in gentle strokes. “Next, massage in a slow, pumping movement over the orbital bone, below the eyes towards the temples, then down to the underneath of the chin to stimulate the lymph nodes", explains Hadda Akrim.

Alter-Care Serum is a true skin essential that can even be used on the delicate eye area – which makes it the perfect serum for facial massage around the eyes. Our hero serum contains Wild Harvested Dulse Algae Extract, which supports a reduction in the appearance of dark circles. After four weeks of use, clinical trials showed a 50% decrease in the appearance of dark circles.

Step 3 - Define and lift your cheekbones

Sculpting and defining your cheekbones is easy with these simple tips from Hadda. "When applying your serum, use your middle finger to smooth it outwards, across your cheekbones – repeat this five times,” explains our resident expert facialist. “Next, using your knuckles, sit them under your cheekbones and follow it across to the hairline. Wiggle your knuckles at the end to help release tension".

Alter-Care Serum will instantly form an essential part of your skincare routine with impressive results too. Assessments show that after just four weeks skin in more refined and radiant, whilst skin firmness is increased by 11%. Alter-Care Serum contains natural-origin Hyaluronic Acid, which helps to boost and improve hydration for skin that looks smoother and plumper – helping to define your cheekbone even more!

Step 4 - Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

Facial massage is a great way to relax muscles and work towards reducing the look of smile lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet and '11 lines'. “Simply smooth these different areas when massaging in your serum to release restricted fascia. These vibration techniques will also increase blood flow, bringing oxygen to support skin cells," explains Hadda.

Alter-Care Serum works hard to tackle the appearance of wrinkles. It contains organic Rock Samphire Extract which is rich in fatty acids and is hailed for its retinol-like action on the skin without any harsh effects. Assessments show that after just four weeks of using Alter-Care Serum the appearance of wrinkles is reduced by 38%.
