With your body nicely relaxed, it’s
time to pat on avène PhysioLift

derivative – into the skin-cell layers
so you will, quite literally,
be a sleeping beauty.

targets crow’s feet, while reducing puffiness.

as well as mango butter. Plus, the
massage will get every bit of you less
tense for sleeping.
