The 3D program

by Darphin

Everyone’s skin is unique and needs customized recommendations.

A SERUM
Intensive targeted care > REPAIRS
This concentrated, high-tech formulation focuses on your specific concerns: wrinkles, sagging, spots…
ACTION: HIGH PERFORMANCE PROBLEM-SOLVING

Dispense 3 drops of serum and apply to face and neck with upward and outward motions.

1. “APPLICATION PRESS” Cover your cheeks and eyes with the palms of your hands and press firmly. Repeat, with one palm pressed on your forehead, and one cupping your chin. Each time, maintain the pressure for5 seconds. Repeat 3 times.

2. “WAKE-UP TAPPING” Using tips of fingers, tap lightly over entire face, like raindrops. Begin at the base of your neck and move upward in a zigzag pattern, gently circling eye contour, and covering forehead. Then do the same thing in reverse, descending from your forehead downward.

3. “OPTIMIZE APPLICATION” Repeat Step 1 to enhance serum application.

This method of digitopression, inherited from Pierre Darphin, stimulates skin’s natural energy sources with a technique of light, sensory touch. It improves application and creates an immediate sense of well-being.

AN AROMATIC CARE
Purifying + revitalizing > RESTORES
This bouquet of essential oils purifies skin, enhances skin’s natural radiance and helps restore skin’s balance for the long term.
ACTION: NATURAL RADIANCE-BOOSTER

    1.“OPEN GATES” Place ends of fingers in the hollow of throat, at the base of your neck, and exert light pressure above your clavicle bones where you feel your pulse. Breathe out at the same time. Repeat 3 times.
12. “PUMP” Place your index and middle fingers, like scissor, on either side of your ears. Then press down gently while exhaling. Repeat 3 times.

3. “Drain away” Cup both hands together and cover your nose. Slide your hands, keeping palms flat on your face, outwards towards your ears, then downwards along the sides of your neck. Next press your hands flat on your chest, fingers on your clavicle bones. Repeat this movement 3 times.

This technique, inspired by phytodrainage practiced at the Institute, helps relieve skin of impurities that impair natural radiance while it helps oxygenate tissues, promoting a feeling of relaxation.

A CREAM
Complete care + the final touch! > REPLENISHES
In addition to treating the specific needs of your skin type and condition, the cream hydrates and improves skin’s look and feel.
ACTION: OVERALL TEXTURE-OPTIMIZING
Apply a small amount of cream to your face with upward motions. Don’t forget your throat, neck and decollete.

    1. “BACK LIFT” Place your hands flat, behind your neck, then firmly massage up the length of your neck to your hairline. Repeat 3 times.

    2. “SIDE-LIFT” Keeping your hands flat, with firm pressure like a sculptor uses to shape clay, start at the base of your throat and move your palms up towards your cheeks. Then continue up to your temples and finally to your hairline. Repeat 3 times.
3
    3. “UP-LIFT” Place one palm flat on your forehead, at the bottom of your eyebrows, then push up to your hairline. Alternate with the other hand. Repeat 3 times.
