FACE (MASK) THE
Amanda Macino, North American director of Valmont, an exclusive Swiss skincare brand, knows that sometimes you have to wear a mask to show your best side.
It may be pricey, but she’s convinced her favorite beauty trick is worth the money, especially for the fast results.
“For instant relief, Valmont’s Prime Renewing Pack is an essential anti-fatigue mask,” she told The US Sun.
“When applied morning and night, the rich water texture provides a radiant glow after just a few weeks of use,” she added.
And there is no one-size-fits-all skin care solution for getting a fresh face.
There are three different ways to successfully apply the mask.
You can choose to use it daily as a short five-minute treatment or for a longer treatment of up to 20 minutes.
Another option is to dab a little on your face before applying your makeup.

“Once removed, the skin immediately glows and facial features are smoother,” the doctor said.
Clear skin will cost you $295, but she swears by the huge difference.
The anti-wrinkle cream mask is designed to eliminate all signs of fatigue by filling in wrinkles in just a few minutes.
FREE FOR EVERYONE
Don’t worry, not all of her techniques require you to spend a lot of money. One method is even free.
According to Macino, the best way to reduce wrinkles is to massage the skin using smoothing movements and deep “petrissage” techniques to relax muscle tension.
She shared how to apply these methods at home.
The Petrissage technique involves slow massage movements that apply deep pressure to press muscles and tissues together, according to Garrow Wellness Center in New Jersey.
If you want to try this anti-wrinkle massage yourself, you can use your palms, thumbs or the surface of your fingers.
By pressing the muscles against the bones or against each other, the muscle fibers are stretched and loosened.
By improving circulation and minimizing surface tension, these kneading movements can stimulate the skin, leading to cell generation.
By increasing the production of natural oils, the skin also gets a hydrating boost.
SPA DAY
While you can do these moves at home, Valmont is also known for its Lift From the Peaks facial.

Get ready for a pampering experience as your skin is refreshed with the relaxing treatment, including a 20-minute lifting massage.
The technique helps to “smooth and relax areas of both superficial and deeper wrinkles.”
“The goal of this massage technique is to strengthen muscle memory using fascial mobility,” she said.
“The more the mobility of the fascia is restored, the more the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid is stimulated,” she continues.
“It also helps to release muscle tension responsible for wrinkles, creating a lifting and smoothing effect on the skin.”

Research has shown that wrinkle size decreases by almost 14% after just one Lift from the Peaks facial treatment.
If you opt for a professional treatment, it is best to visit one of La Maison Valmont’s locations in New York City or Beverly Hills, or select one of the spa partners.
RISE AND SHINE
She also has a trick that can make it look like you’ve found a refreshing fountain of eternal youth yourself.
“Incorporating a gentle daily exfoliator into your routine is the trick to glowing, more youthful-looking skin,” she says.
Get ready to rise and shine – literally.
“By resurfacing the skin and improving its texture, the skin can better reflect light, creating a beautiful glow,” she added.
Macino recommends using Valmont’s LumiPeel, a radiant-looking peeling lotion made with rich exfoliating water.
She described the purchase as a next-generation exfoliating ingredient product.
“Exfoliating PHAs work intelligently with enzymes from papaya and prickly pear to renew and refine skin texture,” she says.
“Meanwhile, the Swiss Phyto-Complex and white mulberry extract reduce imperfections in the complexion.”
