Tested for you: the new “Mille” line from Maria Galland

Maria Galland’s luxurious Mille line has always been my favorite when I want to pamper my skin with exceptionally sensual, feel-good care. I have to admit, though, that my wallet only allows me to do this occasionally. But at least that’s something. Winter is my favorite season for this kind of premium care, because that’s when the skin is most stressed by the cold and heated air.

New edition of the Mille line

There is now a new edition of the Mille line, which offers even greater synergy between scientific innovation and botanical treasures. Here, modern science meets rare active ingredients from nature. This not only guarantees sensual luxury thanks to the flattering textures when applied, but also visible effectiveness. The skin is smoother, more vital, and deeply nourished. Two innovative products form the heart of the updated Mille line: 1040 Mille Le Sérum and 1061 Mille La Crème Riche, my two new winter favorites.

The latest findings in skin care science

The rich Le Sérum has an amazingly light gel texture. I apply it to my face, neck, and décolleté in the morning and evening after cleansing and before applying cream. It feels pleasant on the skin and is quickly absorbed. The ingredients are true botanical treasures: the extract from the Bletilla Striata orchid is known for its skin-firming effect. It promotes the regenerative capacity of skin cells through its antioxidant properties.

Geranylgeranylisopropanol—GGP for short—promotes a firmer, smoother appearance. To soothe the skin and increase the product’s tolerability, biomimetic peptides have been developed, inspired by the proteins found in sea anemones. It also contains caviar-lime extract, which makes the complexion appear firmer and plumper, while reducing wrinkle depth and refining pores.

La Crème Riche – rich yet light

Once the serum has been fully absorbed, I apply La Crème Riche. I also apply this to my face, neck, and décolleté in the morning and evening. I massage the texture gently into my skin so that it can be absorbed optimally. Despite its rich ingredients, the anti-wrinkle cream is light and absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy film. La Crème Riche is based on the same ingredients as the serum, but is supplemented with a high concentration of lipids. Camellia, sweet almond, jojoba oil, and shea butter nourish and soothe dry skin areas and ensure a pleasant feeling on the skin.

If you would like to try out this luxurious line under the guidance of trained professionals, you can try a “Mille Treatment” tailored to your individual skin needs at a Maria Galland institute. I did just that and can only say that it was an experience for the skin and the senses. You can find a salon near you on the Maria Galland website.
