Darphin products are now available in David Frank, the only salon in the Lancaster area to stock the range.

Launched in 1958 by French cosmetic specialist Pierre Darphin, the products use the finest plant extracts, botanical aromas and active skin treatments to develop a breakthrough beauty concept and unique customised skincare range.

The exclusive 3D Beauty Expert Programme allows all skin types to repair, balance and replenish through aromatherapy, sensorial textures and tailor-made treatments.

Designed to be used together for ultimate effects, these three stages can be customised to treat various different skincare concerns in just one prescription.

• Serum - to repair (made of an exclusive cocktail of plant molecules, which treats the skin at the cellular level, to give the appropriate food supplement to the skin's cells and to oxygenate the skin. Also acts as a vehicle to draw cream and oils down to the dermis)
• Aroma-care Oil - to balance (made from a unique blend of plant essences to detoxify, regenerate and balance the skin penetrating to the deepest layer to flush out impurities and toxins as well as act on the state of mind)
• Cream - to replenish (moisturises, protects and works on the surface appearance of the skin)

Darphin drew up a skin diagnosis for each customer, along with customised prescriptions, and this continues today.

After a consultation, customers can leave with a genuine beauty prescription comprising professional beauty treatments: essential and targeted products to be used every day, a facial gymnastics protocol and lifestyle and diet advice.

Darphin business development manager Oksana Dubil said: "The products can provide support for the skin throughout your life, to help with changes in the skin.

"Everyone's skin is different, so there's a different personal prescription for all clients which is matched to suit their skin."

A special loyalty programme is also on offer for every £10 spent on Darphin products in David Frank.
