A NEW SUPER DRAIN: THE PEAT!

DRAINS, RENEWS AND GIVES ELASTICITY: ALL THE POWERS OF ELASTIDREN, THE NEWCOMER AT VERALAB.

 

At the moment, you’re all asking the same question: WHAT IS PEAT?

PEAT: WHAT IT IS AND WHAT ITS PROPERTIES ARE

Let’s start with the basics.

At first glance, peat looks like wet soil.

 

(OKAY, SEEN LIKE THIS IT DOESN’T LOOK ANYTHING SPECIAL)

In actual fact, it is an ancient natural compound with superpowers. 

Peat originates from the slow maceration of grasses and plants that settle in particularly wet and boggy environments. As they macerate, these plants gradually transform chemically and biologically and become a precious, vital compound that is extremely rich in minerals, enzymes, cellulose and many other substances. A compound that has demonstrated countless properties in various fields.  When it is used on skin - i.e. in our field 😊 - peat has a:

• • Draining and firming action: it removes excess fluids, tones and reoxygenates the tissues, reduces fat deposits, and stimulates the microcirculation and immune defences (it is even recommended for treating psoriasis).
• • Smoothing, antiseptic and regenerating action: it is outstanding for oily and impure skins. Thanks to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, it is strongly recommended for counteracting acne, eczema and dermatitis. Moreover, not only does it work on problems, it also promotes cell turnover, exerts an effective anti-age action, and leaves the skin smooth and silky soft.

VERALAB’S PEAT: ELASTIDREN

The full name is ELASTIDREN Impacco Gel Torba Total Body!

 

It is a PROFESSIONAL GEL WRAP that contains numerous active ingredients with a draining and elasticising action. No less importantly, it is a TOTAL BODY product and therefore ideal for legs, buttocks, stomach, arms and yes - YOU’VE GUESSED IT - ALSO FOR THE FACE!

ELASTIDREN: WHAT'S INSIDE?

Its formula contains first-rate ingredients:

• FINNISH PEAT: one of the very bast peats and renown for its draining, smoothing, hydrating and elasticising properties.

• • AN ACTIVE INGREDIENT CONSISTING OF A NATURAL SUGAR: that boosts hydration and elasticity, promotes cell renewal and boosts and strengthens the skin barrier.
• • RHODIOLA ROSEA EXTRACT: a nourishing, antioxidant and elasticising active ingredient with benefits for dry skin, skin with the first signs of ageing, or skin irritated by external aggressors.
• • CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT: with a certified draining action that boosts the microcirculation and helps fight blemishes caused by water retention, cellulite and excess fluid.
• • BUTCHER'S BROOM EXTRACT: a cooling active ingredient with soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. 
• ELASTIDREN: THE EFFECTS
• All ELASTIDREN active ingredients work synergistically to primarily exert 2 types of action:
• • DRAINING: it stimulates the microcirculation and counteracts swelling, water retention, excess fluids, orange-peel skin and redness, for a firmer, smoother skin.
• • ANTIOXIDANT AND ELASTICISING: it favours cell turnover and has an effective anti-age action (Hurrah!), while the hydrating and nourishing ingredients strengthen the skin barrier, to aid dull, lacklustre skins prone to dryness or irritation.

ELASTIDREN is ideal for people with:

• ✓ Swelling and water retention.
• ✓ Cellulite, orange-peel skin and localised fat deposits.
• ✓ The first signs of ageing, loss of tone and fine lines.
• ✓ Dull, lacklustre and sensitive skins or those prone to redness.

But NOT if you have varicose veins!

ELASTIDREN: HOW TO USE IT

Being a gel, it has a cool, velvety texture.

It is also super mild on the skin (in fact it is even indicated for the face).

ELASTIDREN can be used up to 3 times a week. Here’s how:

• - First put on the thong and gloves you will find in the pack.
•  - Shake the tube before use and apply a generous layer of ELASTIDREN to the area to be treated: ankles, legs, buttocks, hips, love handles, arms and face.

Don’t worry, IT WON’T RUN!

• - Wrap yourself in the Cartene sheet provided or, if you prefer, in cling film.
• - Rinse the gloves and keep for subsequent applications.
• - Leave on for at least 45 minutes for the body and 20 minutes for the face.
• - Lastly, rinse yourself well and apply a moisturiser.

TIP: the day before the treatment, prepare your skin by performing a scrub using our Magic Bubble! Use Smoothy Gentle Scrub on the face.

THE OTHER VERALAB DRAINING PRODUCTS: LET’S PLAY SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!

ELASTIDREN has characteristics that make it different to our other draining products. NOT CONVINCED???

NO GIF TRAVOLTA

Let’s make a quick comparison: they differ in terms of their texture, the problems they treat and the way they are used (area where the product can be applied):

• - MAD MUD DREN is a body mud that is ideal for treating water retention and orange-peel skin.
• - MAD MUD CELLULITE/SUPER HOT are also body muds with a heat or intense heat effect that are indicated for cellulite and localised fat deposits.
• - SLIM_ME BENDE is a draining saline wrap with an intensive action that targets excess fluids and water retention.

ElastiDren on the other hand…

• - It not a mud and does not involve bandages: it is a GEL peat wrap
• - It addition to draining, it improves the skin’s elasticity and firmness, making it ideal in cases of swelling, loss of tone, and dull, lacklustre skins
• - It can also be applied to the face to decongest and improve dull and slack skins.

SO: WHICH PRODUCT TO CHOOSE?

If you’re still unsure, it’s time to put the theory into practice: get undressed, look at yourself, feel yourself!

WHAT DO YOU SEE/FEEL?

NO GIF WINNIE THE POOH

If, when you touch it, the skin has cold, hard areas, pads of fat and visible cellulite: Mad Mud - Cellulite or Mad Mud Superhot.

If your skin feels spongy: Mad Mud Dren.

If you notice swelling, loss of tone, slackness and skin lacking elasticity and firmness: ElastiDren.

THAT’S IT!

CAN I COMBINE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS?

OF COURSE YOU CAN!

In fact, combining different products means tackling different problems at the same time. 

But don’t leave things to chance.

Take note:

• • If you use ElastiDren together with a mud (like Speciale Culotte de Cheval): alternate them, NEVER use both on the same day. Start with ElastiDren, then 2 days later apply the mud, and so on, for a total of 2-3 treatments a week.
• • If you use it with slim_me wraps: use Elastidren 2-3 times a week and slim_me once a week (not on the same day).
• • If you use it with Leg Booster/Belly Booster: use Leg/Belly booster every day and Elastidren 3 times a week (this time they can be used on the same day)

Now all that remains to be said is: HURRAY FOR PEAT!

Don’t forget to let us know how it goes!

We’re very, very curious!
