1 / In your opinion today, what are the users of beauty treatments waiting for?

Currently, when we look at the studies that are being done on this subject, we notice a major upward trend: the dimension of personalization of beauty treatment. This trend has developed the use of targeted care and the creation of personalized care routines. Obviously, we have always had the habit of using treatments according to our skin type. But today, our women realize that the needs are not the same according to the seasons, their lifestyle, the times of the day… The impact of the environment on the needs of the skin is very important. . We have therefore created Collagen Boosters, which provide targeted molecules such as Vitamin C or Retinol for example. These boosters fit into the daily skincare routine and precisely and punctually reinforce the various actions: hydration, elasticity, radiance, nutrition. Boosters are therefore tailor-made treatments that everyone can use according to their current needs. A few drops in the palm of your hand, applied pure or mixed with its moisturizer, when you feel like it.

2 / Vitamin C is a molecule present at the heart of your boosters formulas, can you tell us more about its benefits?

We have launched two Boosters: one to meet the need for radiance and the other to meet the needs for density and firmness with an anti-wrinkle action: the Radiance Booster with Vitamin C and the Lift Booster with Retinol. Vitamin It is the benchmark active ingredient for radiance. It is anti-oxidant, and thus protects the skin from free radicals and on the other hand it lightens melanin, a brown to black pigment responsible for the dark coloring of the skin installed on the surface and thus gives a real boost to the skin.

3 / Many of us are concerned about the signs of aging that appear. How do you respond to this problem?

Resultime is a laboratory specializing in anti-aging care. For 60 years, our laboratory’s expertise has been based on collagen: the natural component of the skin that plays the most role in its youth, since it ensures firmness and resistance. From the age of 20, we lose 1% of collagen per year. It is therefore fundamental to restore this capital if we wish to correct and limit the appearance of signs of aging. But the collagen molecule is too big a molecule to penetrate the skin if applied directly. We have therefore developed an exclusive patented technology: vectorized micro-collagen, a small fragment of collagen that immediately penetrates the skin and in turn stimulates it to produce its own collagen. This active ingredient is at the heart of all of our skincare and of our Boosters. The Collagen Serum Gel with plumping collagen, which is the No. 1 collagen serum sold in pharmacies, is therefore our star product. You can also mix the Boosters with this serum to obtain more radiance or firmness, according to your own needs. The Retinol Booster Lift is particularly recommended for preventing the signs of aging: retinol is a powerful active ingredient for cell renewal which stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. By helping to maintain the thickness of the dermis, retinol contributes to the youthfulness of the skin.

Unlike dry skin, combination skin is often difficult to pinpoint, and it can be difficult to know how to care for it. For good reason, combination skin displays a certain ambivalence since it has dry areas and others with a rather oily tendency. And since we are obliged to wear a mask all day long, many of us have to play the balancing act to best respond to hydration needs and dullness of our face. Slow cosmetics enthusiasts will love this facial fumigation (or facial sauna), a homemade treatment offered by Peau neuve, beauty influencer.

The steam bath, a treat for combination skin

“Facial fumigation is like a mini sauna for the face, a very important step in purifying the face” explains the influencer. The benefits of this treatment are multiple:

• Steam penetrates blocked pores.
• It is a deep treatment that facilitates the extraction of comedones.
• The face is purified, fresh and the oily areas are reduced.
• Fumigation has a double action, cutaneous and respiratory, it is a real moment of relaxation which cleans the skin.

Here is the mini facial sauna recipe for combination skin oily and or acne (blotchy and irritated skin to refrain).

The ingredients for facial fumigation

• 2 tablespoon of lemon hydrosol
• 1 tablespoon of rosemary verbenone hydrosol
• 2 drops of tea tree essential oil
• 2 drops of verbenone rosemary essential oil

Preparing the steam bath

1. Boil some water and place it in a bowl.
2. Add the mixture of hydrosols and essential oils.
3. Place your clean face over the bowl on a stable stand and completely cover your head with a towel. Enjoy the benefits of this flavored vapor for up to 10 minutes. Take advantage of this moment to relax and breathe in the natural scent of plants.

Treatments that pamper the skin

After the facial sauna, apply a mask or scrub and always finish with cold water or a cold lemon or peppermint hydrosol, the best for tightening the pores.

Then apply your night (or day) cream depending on the time of day.

Precautions for use

To properly eliminate impurities and maximize the benefits of care, it is advisable to perform this steam bath twice a month maximum, before a scrub or a mask. We always end a fumigation with a treatment that tightens the pores otherwise they will clog again and this treatment will be of no use. If the steam is too hot, wait a little, one or two minutes. As the goal is not to burn yourself, the skin should not touch the water. This treatment is pleasant and non-aggressive. It does not keep.
Due to the presence of essential oils, it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

The two keys to protected skin, even in cold weather? Adapt your diet and use beauty products with creamy formulas.

1-Preserve your lips

Their thin skin, devoid of sebaceous glands, is not resistant to wind and cold. We adopt a balm enriched with vegetable butter (cotton, shea) that we apply generously throughout the day, and in the evening before going to bed.

Advice in +:

• We change the lip balm formula regularly, otherwise the skin gets used to it and the treatment becomes less effective.
• When you leave a hydrating face mask on, you think of applying it to the lips, for an extra soft mouth.

2-Apply a protective complexion product

We play the mille-feuilles effect, like a windbreaker placed on the skin. We superimpose moisturizing serum and day cream, then we add a BB or CC cream, enriched with moisturizing and protective active ingredients, sometimes equipped with an anti UV filter. It acts as a shield against external aggressions and it evens out the complexion.

3-Target your makeup products

On the eyes and the cheeks we favor oily textures, much more comfortable and less drying than powders. They have a silky and ultra luminous finish, very suitable for the low light of winter.

4-Remineralize your body

Under the effect of stress and an unbalanced diet, the body becomes acidic. We find an alkaline balance when diving 3 evenings in a row in a bath enriched with salt d’Epsom rich in magnesium (2 mugs of salt for a 15-minute immersion). We go out relaxed, and the body is full of minerals. Our cells evolve in a favorable ecosystem and our skin is better hydrated.

5-Eat green

We adopt a “beautiful skin” smoothie in the morning, composed of 50% green leafy vegetables (rich in magnesium and potassium) and 50% seasonal fruits. We add flax seeds, rich in anti-inflammatory omega 3, perfect for sensitive skin. These seeds also contribute to the proper functioning of the intestines, an essential factor to display a beautiful complexion.

Qf you want to play daring with effects that you don’t dare the rest of the year, or that you just prefer to accentuate your everyday look, end-of-year eve’s are here. opportunity to wear makeup a little more than usual. In any case, give way to your imagination to create a make-up that looks like you.

• The black trump : it is the timeless classic and elegant color. It is suitable for all skin tones and all irises.
• The touch of gold : this luminous shade suits almost all skin tones. It can be a little bland on fair skin tones, so prefer a pink gold or a white gold.
• The pinch of glitter : it is the festive touch par excellence, and, contrary to popular belief, you can modulate their intensity and associate them with all the nuances.
• The desire for nude : naturalness works every time, as long as you don’t go wrong with the shade and slightly enhance your skin tone.

If you have dry skin and tight features

This is characterized by uncomfortable dryness, more pronounced fine lines and a less drawn oval. To regain a healthy glow, you can play on hydration and stimulation of the skin, both in skincare and makeup.

In order to find a healthier skin, nothing like super-rehydration using a nourishing, moisturizing or anti-aging mask. Your choice: a cream formula applied all night over a serum, a biocellulose mask or other new texture on which is impregnated a treatment concentrated in active vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

• The trick: pamper the skin of the face by offering it a silk pillowcase, which protects against friction. And for better penetration, apply your cream 1 hour before bedtime.

We go to self-massage

Stimulating the skin with the fingers increases its suppleness, elasticity and firmness. On a daily basis, these quick and easy actions can really make a difference.

• The trick: apply serumand cream with upward smoothing movements, from the inside to the outside of the face. Finish with tapping with your fingertips.

We smooth the epidermis

With a BB cream, easy to apply with your fingertips on the T zone (by stretching it towards the outside of the face), which brings hydration and uniformity to the skin. If we need more coverage, we choose a foundationt very fluid, to which we can add a few drops of dry oil. A good compromise between comfort and radiance, without making the skin shine too much. Only the T zone is then powdered if necessary.

• The trick: to make small touch-ups during the day, use a matte corrective stick, preferably with a powder which risks marking the lines.

We plump up his mouth

A sad mouth can make you look tired. It is rehydrated using a nourishing balm (based on wax and vegetable oil). Like a base, it will smooth the lips and allow the rouge to set better.

The trick: applied with a finger or a brush, starting with the heart and without marking the contours too much, a warm, orange-red shade immediately illuminates the face.

If you have a cloudy complexion

Mask, fine particles, cigarette smoke, blue light … The skin is subjected to many attacks on a daily basis. In particular, the combination of UV rays and pollution which increases oxidative stress on the skin. As a result, it thickens and the face looks dull. So, what to do about loss of radiance, uneven skin tone or small redness?

We refine the skin texture

To gently exfoliate the skin, it is better to use exfoliators made from fruit acids rather than grains. Thus, both irritating the epidermis and over-mobilizing the skin tissues which are fragile are avoided. There are also specific masks, the exposure time of which varies, depending on the dosage of AHA (fruit acids) and the type of skin.

• The trick: easy to use, the peeling lotion is applied in the evening with a cotton pad, before the night cream, two or three times a week.

We wake up his complexion

It is better to avoid using a foundation and prefer a simple concealer, which will serve as a foundation and corrector product, after the application of the serum and the day cream.

The trick: it is applied in small strokes to stretch with the fingers, only on the T zone and where the skin needs to be touched up (to hide pimples, redness …).

We protect our skin

By choosing treatments that not only provide good hydration, but also provide internal and external protection. Thus, the day cream must contain good moisturizers (hyaluronic acid, glycerin), to maintain water in the skin, and especially shielding ingredients such as antioxidants, and possibly sun filters. Be careful not to choose it too oily if the skin does not need it.

The trick: several times a day, we do not hesitate to spray an anti-pollution moisturizing mist in order to reinforce the barrier effect of the treatments.

We make a good look

A touch of blush is essential to finalize a radiance boost on the face. Better to forget terracottas and rosewoods, because these rather dull tones tend to gray the complexion.

The trick: choose brighter roses, in gel or cream texture, more transparent and therefore brighter than a powder. Apply on the rounded cheek while smiling at the mirror, using a large synthetic bristle brush or with the fingers by light tapping.

If you have dark circles or bags under your eyes

The eye area is a very vulnerable area, because it is very stressed while the skin is extremely thin. “Dehydration, irritation, water accumulation and sagging appear quickly”, emphasizes Karine Gautier, head of aesthetic training at LPG. Hence the importance of care to limit the appearance of puffiness, crow’s feet and colored or hollow circles.

We erase dark circles

Whether they are bluish, brown or yellow, you must use first a concealerliquid, chosen a little lighter than the foundation, but not too much so as not to gray the skin: ivory for light skin, beige for “mediums” and orange for dark skin.

• The trick: tap the material with your finger under the eye and make a fade with the cheek. Then superimpose a cream stick a warmer tone, still patting without smoothing.

We hydrate morning and evening

By choosing the right galenic. When it is neither too greasy nor too thick, it is quite possible to apply an eye contour treatment also in the evening, without risking waking up with swollen eyes in the morning. On the other hand, avoid putting your face cream on this area, because its texture is more oily.

• The trick: care is taken to deposit it in very small quantities and at a good distance from the mucous membrane of the eye to avoid irritating it.

We find a keen eye

We must open our eyes, by “working” it upwards. Make up only the upper eyelid: with a dark brown pencil rather than black, for the eyeliner line, then a black mascara to dress the eyelashes by stretching them outwards.

• The trick: add a bronze eyeshadow on the eyelid to bring light, without forgetting to redraw the line of the eyebrows with a dark brown pencil, or lighter if you have blond hair.

We are talking more and more about anti-pollution cosmetics. For good reason, it’s not just our lungs who toast polluted air. Our skin too. In this niche of available products, anti-pollution mist is doing well. We tell you what it is for and how to use it.

To know

Some also protect the skin from the blue light emitted by screens.

The anti-pollution mist serves as a protective shield

Thanks to an imperceptible and non-sticky film, made up of extracts of algae or sugars, which against attack by fine particles. This mesh allows the skin to breathe and greatly limits the adhesion of pollution to the skin and its penetration. It can also be used on the hair to preserve it.

The mist hydrates and refreshes

Mainly made up ofwater, sometimes thermal, it refreshes at any time of the day. Moisturizing ingredients (sorbitol, aloe vera, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, floral waters…) will prevent the dehydrationcaused by surrounding pollution.

This treatment fixes makeup

Sprayed on the skin, this light protective film fixes the makeup that has just been applied. And it gives it shine and freshness by repeating the gesture during the day, as many times as you want.

The mist preserves free radicals

The antioxidants (vitamin E, green tea, ginseng …) it contains will counter the deleterious effects of pollution, while active ingredients (chlorella, dandelion, moringa …) will detoxify and re-oxygenate the skin. We know that pollution (fine particles, ozone and gas) and exposure to UVA rays and visible light multiply by 3.5 the oxidative effects, responsible for premature skin aging (source L’Oréal Recherche).
