If you’ve popped by the Chanel counter or beauty boutique these couple of weeks, you may notice a brand new skincare product being showcased. This is the Chanel Blue Serum<\/strong>, a brand new product, targeted at all skin types and almost all ages.

The ‘blue’ in the name refers not to the colour of the product (which is a semi-opaque white), but from where its key ingredients are sourced – from the “blue zones” of the world. These “blue zones” are areas in the world identified as having people with higher life expectancies and exceptional longevity.<\/p>\n

The “blue zones” are identified as Okinawa (Japan), Greece, Sardinia (Italy) and Costa Rica. In these areas, people are known to live longer and research shows that this is due to 4 key factors – regular physical activity, a balanced diet, a close-knit social structure and better stress management. It probably isn’t a coincidence either, that in these areas people live closer to nature and do not have the pollution and stresses we experience in cities.<\/p>\n

Inspired by these 4 key factors of longevity, the Chanel Research team were inspired to identify 4 mechanisms for skin longevity (‘anti-aging’):-<\/p>\n
