Night, When Words Fade And Things Come Alive.

Aesop Sublime Replenishing Night Masque

《小王子》的作者Antoine de Saint-Exupery是一位飛行員,他熱愛飛行,成為了法國的空軍飛行員,在第二次世界大戰時對抗納粹德軍。他在1942年推出的著作《戰爭飛行員》中記錄了一次駕駛偵察機、飛往法國小鎮阿拉斯的真實故事。1940年5月德軍首次入侵法國,當時法國空軍只有50名偵察人員,Antoine是其中一位。在這次戰役裡,他的部隊有17名成員喪生,《戰爭飛行員》描寫了戰役中的奮鬥和悲痛的經歷。他在書中這樣描寫漫長的黑夜:

「晚安,心愛的。夜幕下,當話語逐漸消隱,事物都變得鮮活起來。」

當夜幕低垂,滿眼漆黑,心卻變得澄明起來。我們的心需要黑夜來沉澱、重組和成長,而我們的肌膚也是一樣,需要在黑夜時分來進行調理、修復。因此,Aesop研發了首瓶夜晚面膜,輕敷在臉上一整晚後,第二天的皮膚回復柔軟滋潤、膚色均勻透亮。手指頭輕輕一抹,把質感輕盈的凝霜抹在肌膚上,其中含有豐富的維他命B、C、E和F,以及角叉菜酸鈉、泛醇和角鯊烷等有保濕潤膚功效的成分,紓緩肌膚因因生活壓力、污染而造成的黯沉和疲憊的狀態,並提供持久保濕,以及強化肌膚屏障的完整性。在一天完結時,以Aesop的昇華滋養夜晚面膜跟肌膚說晚安,讓它重回滑嫩、柔軟和平衡,好好感謝勞累了一天的身體。
