CHRISTINA — It just works
For: skin with photoaging, hyperpigmentation, post-acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles 30+. Problem: uneven tone, sun spots, scars, discoloration, thinning.

ROSE DE MER Line Philosophy
ROSE DE MER is Christina's flagship coral peel line, based on natural coral powder and a herbal-marine activator. It is an intensive salon treatment that combines mechanical exfoliation with active marine and herbal extracts.
Philosophy: controlled epidermal damage → intense regeneration → skin reconstruction with a new texture and tone. After the treatment, the skin undergoes a several-day peeling process (3–7 days), culminating in the unveiling of a young, even complexion.
The second pillar is the post-peel protocol (steps 3–5): soothing mask, protective gel, and toning cream — a complete regeneration sequence.
Coral Powder
Fine coral fragments — mechanical micro-incisions in the epidermis stimulating regeneration.
Herbal-Marine Activator
A blend of herbal and marine extracts that activates the peel and carries active ingredients deep into the skin.
Sea Algae
Soothes, regenerates, mineralizes — key in the Soothing Mask in step 3.
Post-Peel Protocol
Cover Cream + Protective Gel + at-home Post Peeling Kit — a full regeneration sequence.

Key Ingredients and Technologies
ROSE DE MER combines the power of the ocean with salon precision: coral powder + algae + plant extracts.
Herbal-marine activator (powder + activating liquid)
Sea salts + herbal extracts (chamomile, mint, lemon balm, sage) — activate the coral peel and carry active ingredients into the micro-incisions.
Antiseptic milk / soap (Savon Supreme)
Gentle, antiseptic cleansing before peeling — removes impurities and prepares the skin. Step 1 of the protocol.
Sea algae (Soothing Mask)
Rich in minerals and polysaccharides — soothes redness, strengthens the barrier after peeling. Step 3 — soothing mask.
Panthenol + allantoin (Post Peeling Protective Gel)
Support regeneration, soothe irritation, accelerate healing. Step 4 — protective gel after peeling.
Mineral filters + concealing pigments (Post Peeling Cover Cream)
Toning-concealing cream with UV protection — essential for the first 7 days after peeling.
Purifying extracts (Clean & Gentle Wash)
Gentle cleansing gel for daily use after peeling — oil-free, non-irritating.

Most Frequent Cosmetologist Questions
Can ROSE DE MER be performed on every client?
NO — this is an invasive treatment requiring qualification. Absolute contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding, herpes, atopic dermatitis, active rosacea, fresh scars, tan from the last 14 days. Cosmetologist-client consultation + skin test mandatory.
How long is the downtime after peeling?
3–7 days of intense exfoliation, depending on the depth of the peel. First 48 hours: redness, feeling of tightness. Days 3–5: active exfoliation. Days 5–7: new skin revealed. Full stabilization: 14 days.
Can the client leave the salon with makeup?
NO during the first 48 hours — only Post Peeling Cover Cream. From day 3, a delicate mineral powder can be added. Return to full makeup: day 7.
When can the treatment be repeated?
Minimum 4 weeks break. Typical cycle: 2–3 treatments every 6–8 weeks for deep revision. Maintenance treatment: once a year.
What is the difference between ROSE DE MER and NUANCE / MUSE?
ROSE DE MER is an invasive peel with deep exfoliation (3–7 days downtime). NUANCE/MUSE are anti-age protocols with no significant downtime. We use ROSE DE MER when strong revision is needed (scars, spots); NUANCE/MUSE for maintaining skin condition.
What about sun exposure after the treatment?
ABSOLUTELY NO UV exposure for 14 days. SPF 50 daily is mandatory for at least 4 weeks. Optimal season: autumn-winter-early spring. Summer — not recommended.
Should the client purchase the Post Peeling Kit for home?
YES — it is mandatory. The Post Peeling Kit contains Clean & Gentle, Peeling Soap, and Post Peeling Cover Cream. The client MUST have the product for the entire 14-day regeneration period.
