BODY CARE EXPERT FILE: Soft skin
Hidden away all winter, the body takes back its place of honor with the beautiful days... Bare legs, arms and décolleté freed... Our skin experts share all their secrets to enhance your body before summer.
Exfoliation, the key to beautiful skin
Because exfoliation removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, it is the ally for radiance for the face and softness for the body.
The right frequency?
It all depends on your skin type. But the minimum beauty routine is once a week and never more than twice.
The right gesture?
With the Gentle Exfoliating Veil : Place a small amount of product in the palm of your hand and apply area by area all over your body. Use upward motions until the texture transforms. Rinse.
With the Gentle Exfoliating Emulsion : apply a small amount of scrub to dry or damp skin (for sensitive skin). Use gentle circular motions until the texture whitens slightly. Rinse.
Tip: Focus on particularly dry areas (elbows, knees, heels, etc.), but don't forget the rest of your body! This will make your skin more receptive to the following treatments!
The recipe for a healthy morning glow:
To prolong the radiance effect of the scrub, blend and enjoy this delicious smoothie for the skin:
- ½ avocado
- ½ mango
- 1 handful of raspberries
- 1 handful of blueberries
- 1 glass of vegetable milk (almond, oat, soy)

Hydration, the essential step
Hidden under thick sweaters and tights, the body is a little neglected in winter... When the good weather comes... we say no to crocodile skin on our legs!
The right frequency:
Every day! Ideally after your shower. Are you in a hurry in the morning? Get into the habit of applying sunscreen in the evening before slipping under the sheets!
The right gesture:
With the Voluptuous Body Cream:
- Apply the treatment to slightly damp skin to facilitate the penetration of the active ingredients.
- Take advantage of this time to relieve tension in your legs and facilitate venous return by using upward movements.
Tip: Spring is also the perfect season to check your skin's needs and re-diagnose your face! Take advantage of it; it's free at every point of sale!
Protection, the beauty shield
Spring and its terraces, picnics, days in the park... Skin that hasn't seen the sun for several months needs to be protected more than ever! Otherwise, beware of sunburn and premature aging!
The right frequency:
Every morning, from April to October for sunny cities. And from May to September for the others. Be careful, just because there's no sun... doesn't mean UV rays aren't harmful. Any doubts?
The right gesture?
After your day cream, before foundation, apply Cell Protector , an SPF 50+ PA++++, anti UVA & UVB on the face. The youthfulness of your skin is preserved and does not suffer the harmful effects of UV rays. The tan is more gradual and also more benevolent!
Tip: After spending the winter in our gloves and fur-lined boots, our hands and feet need some attention before they can show off!
- Step 1: exfoliation.
- Step 2: application of Genius Balm , the all-in-one repairing, moisturizing and anti-blemish treatment.
- Step 3: varnish to perfect this beauty of the ends.
