THE DRY REMEDY OIL, AVEDA

The revelation. At first I was a little skeptical, seeing the size of the bottle. Ultra concentrated, this silicone free oil and 99.9% natural, contains Buriti oil. A few drops to deeply care and tame my mane.

The heady scent of aromatherapy connects me to nature. I daily use the Dry Remedy Oil on slightly damp hair to keep moisturizing, nourish and disentangle without breaking them. 

I also added the oil in my care (masks). And when I make a pre-shampoo treatment: once my towel-dried hair, I apply the oil all over the hair, strand by strand and then I make a bun to let them dry naturally.

THE REPAIRING OIL “FANTASTIC OIL”, ACTIVILONG

I have a lot of hair which require constant cares. This oil has quickly become my essential care to restore and revitalize my thirsty weakened hair, while making them silky.

This winter, my ultra dry hair was very brittle: dull without smoothness or strength. And I lost a lot of my lengths. Formulated mineral oil free and silicone free, with 98% of plant ingredients (organic avocado and olive oils), the Fantastic Oil sheaths the hair to protect it from drying out.

I use the oil alone. Or I mix it with various masks and styling products to provide more flexibility and shine and nourish the scalp. But its thick texture also allows to leave it on the hair, without using additional products during few days.

THE BIRCH CELLULITE OIL, WELEDA

Good news, this oil really works for me (don’t drink it, it’s a body oil)! To optimize the effects, I dilute in my daily liter of water, a small spoon of the Weleda Birch Elixir to drain and detox the body.

The Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil is 100% natural: fragrance free, silicone free, no dyes or synthetic preservatives, no mineral ingredients or genetically modified ingredients. You can apply the oil on a damp skin after showering.  

Followed by a jet of cold water from the bottom up along the legs. And for the most courageous, wet the whole body! Cold water tones and puts in a good mood (yep!). After a month of use, the effects are seen, my legs get thiner and toner: better blood circulation and less swelling.

THE REVITALIZING OIL FOR FACE, BODY AND HAIR, DARPHIN 

Extremely pleasant to apply (fantastic texture) and smell, I use it as a night face cream after a scrub or a slightly abrasive cleansing / removing make-up. It quickly penetrates, soothes redness and the next day the skin is soft and fragrant like a baby.

I mix a few drops with a moisturizer to nourish and soften my hands and feet. The oil leaves a slight iridescent layer on the skin, like a summer fragrance …

Finally, when I want to add an extra shine on my hair (with an irresistible smell), I use the Revitalizing Oil as a finish touch only. It is not enough for nourishing my hair type. Definitely this oil is THE chameleon product to slip into your bag!

Fashion & Beauty For Skiing in Val Thorens, France

My Selection For Skiing

Naively I thought with the fresh air

of the mountain, I wouldn’t have to use too much skincares. Very quickly I realized that on the contrary must be redoubled care, between the sun with the strong glare on the slopes and the very dry heating air.

Photo montage above: 1. The cleanser and toner. I’ve never cleaned my face as often: in the morning, then upon returning from skiing or/and before dinner and at last before sleeping. So I chose very mild products to not irritate my really sensitive skin: Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Toning Lotion/Refiner and Perfectly Clean Triple-Action Cleanser/Toner/Makeup Remover, Estée Lauder.        

2. The face masks. For optimal hydration, I apply the AquaPrécis Masque Express Hydratation Dynamique of Uriage. It’s like an after sun exposure dressing. I leave it all night as a night cream. The morning after cleansing the face, I prepare my skin to the cares with the Vitamin Rich Detox Mask of Bio Beauté by Nuxe. I am not a big fan of its near-sticky honey texture, but I really enjoy its healthy glow effect. The skin is cleansed, with  a bright complexion.

3. The ski sunscreen. Cream + stick Very High protection, High altitude Photoderm Ski SPF 50 of Bioderma : very pleasant to apply with the boilerplate lightweight format that slips easily into a pocket of the jacket. By late afternoon, the Photoderm Après Soleil SOS (Intense Soothing mist) of Bioderma refreshes my skin. Lovely blue packaging.

Glam on the slopes

Above: 1. The Yeti under jacket, my big crush! I didn’t know Yeti, a German brand based in Denmark and specialized in duvets. This under jacket is impeccably cut following the shape of body. I can stay warm without looking like a bag! It weighs nothing with an edgy look for skiing and town!   

2. Ultra glamour Pure Color Envy Sculpting EyeShadow 5 Color Palette, Estée Lauder. Beautiful colors and silky texture ranging from silver to purple (for intense smoky eyes). 3. I alternate the Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick, Estée Lauder with the 10 Cherry LushTom Ford 

4. On the ski gloves, my inseparable cream for the dry, chapped and damaged hands, High Nutrition Hands With Natural Cold Cream, Bio beauté by Nuxe. Very fluid, it penetrates quickly, leaving a slightly glossy finish on a nourished skin.

The Evening Glam 

Above : 1. The jacket for skiing, Poivre Blanc with a white and taupe sober look. It is extremely comfortable and warm in altitude. 2. My fragrance. Modern Muse, Estée Lauder. Discreet but present, feminine, elegant and lightly powdered, I like it a lot.

3. The body cares. Pleasant smooth creamy texture of the Magic TouchRituals. At first I was afraid it wouldn’t be nutritious enough for my very dry body skin. Actually not. Before applying, I mix the cream with the Contouring Concentrate of Caudalie for a toning and firming effect.

4. My other big crush, the wow ankle boots of Sam Edelman. Killer shoes! I wear them a lot at the moment! Well, on the picture, I suffered a bit, it was the first time I wore them (LOL!). Plus a vintage bag with a shiny parrot.

Targeted Skincare Products

Do you know the excellent Radical Skincare? As soon as I started testing this American brand in late August, I found visible effects. My complexion had fewer imperfections and better skin texture. After a month, my skin was more toned and smooth.

Photo montage above: 1. The serum. Peptide Infused Antioxidant Serum, Radical Skincare, to apply before the cream morning and night. 2. The face cream. Anti-aging Restorative Moisture of Radical Skincare.

3. The body cares. In the embroidered pouch from Kazakstan offered by a friend, two new creams of l’Occitane :  the Whipped Body Cream for hands and the Whipped Body Cream for body, both with shea. A pleasure to use: what a pity the body cream finishes so fast! 4. A view of Val Thorens (France).

Photo montage below : 1. For the eyes. Choose carefully adapted sunglasses for altitude (mines make fog!). Also to protect the fragile eye zone, I use the efficient Polyphenol C15 Anti-Wrinkle Eye & Lip CreamCaudalie. One of the few creams that doesn’t irritate my eyes.

As I’m not a seasoned skier, I didn’t know what outfits to bring with me! So I make it really simple: black comfortable warm boots easy to clean.(2). Wolly caps a bit ethnic and lined with fleece (3). And a nice Poivre Blanc ski pants (4)
