Sothys Paris Helps Men Take Control of Their Skin with Three New Sothys Homme Product Line Extensions

MIAMI---When it comes to skincare, everyone has his or her “obsessions.” For many women, avoiding wrinkles and loss of firmness are top priorities. For most men, keeping excess oil and shaving-induced irritation in check are integral to achieving and maintaining great skin.

This June, SOTHYS PARIS will extend its extremely successful and recently launched SOTHYS HOMME range with three new skincare products designed to help men take complete control of their skin: Revitalizing Hair and Body Care, a soothing, vitamin-enriched daily cleanser for hair and skin; Mattifying T-Zone Fluid, a light, rapidly-absorbed fluid utilizing Seboregulating Complex® and advanced Miscrosphere Technology® to regulate oil production all day; and Soothing After Shave Balm, an instantly soothing, fresh-feeling fluid rich in minerals, vitamins and mint leaf extract that also helps repair skin post-shaving.

“Excess oil production and daily shaving are at the root of most men’s skin dilemmas-breakouts and razor burn irritation,” says Christian Garces, President of Sothys U.S.A., Inc., based in Miami, Fla. “The three new Sothys Homme products, when used with our existing men’s line, provides a man with all he needs to regulate his skin’s oil production and reduce the irritation that daily shaving brings.”

As with the existing SOTHYS HOMME line, the new extensions are also enriched with Phytomalt®, an exclusive complex derived from the distillation of Scottish Whiskey rich in proteins, amino acids and vitamins which has a soothing anti-inflammatory action and helps regulate the skin after shaving.

Revitalizing Hair and Body Care
This gentle, vitamin-rich all-in-one cleanser leaves skin fresh and hair smooth and shiny. Soothing D-Panthenol promotes healthy skin and hair growth, balanced hydration levels, strength and radiance. A blend of coconut and sunflower oils allows for thorough cleansing, while promoting soft skin and hair. Cationic Polymers prevent split ends and brings softness to the skin.

Matifying T-Zone Fluid
A light-textured, rapidly absorbed fluid that keeps skin fresh and matt for hours. Mineral and vitamin rich natural Birch Sap improves skin hydration, increases firmness, softens and soothes irritation. Seboregulating Complex® regulates oil secretions, while purifying and mattifying the skin surface. Absorbing Microsphere Technology® absorbs surface oiliness all day long for a fresh, matt appearance.

Soothing After Shave Balm
This light, fresh-feeling lotion takes the burn out of shaving on contact. Polyphenols of Mint Leaves instantly soothe, cool and soften just-shaved skin, while Wheat Germ Oil Lipids quickly help heal shaving nicks and restore the skin’s lipidic layer, which has been damaged by shaving. Birch Sap improves skin hydration, increases firmness, softens and also helps soothe skin irritation.

Sothys Homme Revitalizing Hair and Body Care, Mattifying T-Zone Fluid and Soothing After Shave Balm will be available at fine spas and salons nationwide in June 2004.
