GLOBAL SKIN EXPERT HYLTON LEA REVEALS REVIVE SKINCARE SECRETS

ReVive was the best kept secret in skincare for the past 15 years. ReVive has been and is still delivering cutting edge skincare treatment to 26 countries. Even celebrities like Tom Cruise and David Beckham have taken part in this amazing secret. Hylton Lea, global skincare expert, describes the ReVive skincare line as a “visit with your plastic surgeon” – there’s probably a product for every problem!

CF: Why ReVive?

HL: ReVive is truly an organic and natural product made for people. It contains Epidermal Growth Factor, the same molecule used by the human body to heal wounds. Yes, there are botanical or animal-based products out there that you can use to hydrate your skin, but you are not a plant and you are not an animal. You need a product that your body recognizes and works with your body’s natural processes to heal and grow skin and that’s what ReVive is.

Revive also delivers cutting edge technology in skincare. It is the only product line that contains three Nobel Prize winning molecules to treat, heal and grow new skin cells.

CF: What are the five top products of the ReVive Skincare line?

HL: You want to start with the ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream. It is a night-time cream that removes dead, gray skin, triggering the growth of new skin cells. Follow the night cream with Sensitif Cellular Repair Cream. This daytime healing cream stimulates the body’s natural messaging system for new skin cell growth with Epidermal Growth Factor and protects the skin with a SPF 15 formula.

Another essential product is the Fermitif neck renewal cream. It firms the neck and décolletage and gets rid of any sun damage.

Don’t forget the eyes! ReVive’s Eye Renewal Cream is the only eye cream I know of that goes all over the eye.  It gets rid of the crepiness of the lid and firms the eye tissue. It takes only 15 seconds to feel its effects.

The Moisturizing Renewal Eye Cream uses a blend of enzymatic exfoliants to break up the bonds that hold dead skins cells together. It also has light refractive oils to brighten your eyes.

CF: For the budget consumer, which product should they buy to add to their skincare regiment?

HL: ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream. Honestly, the very next day you will see the change in your skin tissue. It contains 8% glycolic acid and Epidermal Growth Factor, which speed up your skin’s turnover.

CF: What should be the daily regiment for skincare?

HL: First, use a toner to prepare the skin for your products. Starting with the thinnest, apply your serums. Lastly, apply your moisturizers.

CF: What are the common mistakes people make concerning skin care?

HL: A mistake I see all the time is the use of moisturizer on the neck. Never ever use a moisturizer on your neck. The skin on the neck may appear very thick, but most of that thickness is from fat and connective tissue.

Not a lot of people know that the skin on the neck is as delicate as the skin under the eyes. So when you apply oil or water, which is what a moisturizer is made up of, the oil or water just sit on the neck tissue, resulting in red banding lines around the neck. The only thing you should be putting on your neck is a firming lotion.

Try ReVive Fermitif neck renewal cream. It is a firming lotion that contains rose oil that soothes, calms and brings down any inflammations.

CF: What should people do to prepare for the summer?

HL: Always use sunscreen and sunblock. Apply sunscreen before any other products and then apply sunblock last. Sunscreen will absorb and dissipate UV rays, while sunblock reflects the radiation. Don’t forget to re-apply no matter what the SPF protection is.
