Caudalie: The Vinexpert Regimen For Skin Lacking Vitality

It began more and less one month ago

at the Caudalie Vinexpert line‘s ten years celebration. Do I really need to repeat today’s anti-aging is for any women: from mature women fighting against wrinkles to the youngest loosing firmness after a drastic diet ? Every women, you and me, mom… Seduced by the packaging, few days later I decided to test the famous Resveratrol patented and stabilized by Caudalie (named “the best anti-ageing molecule” by Harvard’s Department of Medicine”, “Thanks to Resveratrol, the wine is able to renew itself several centuries“,  Caudalie). 

The first days, I didn’t pay attention to the draws inside box. Too bad, those draws explain how using the serums (1 & 2) and the creams (3 & 4). Industrious, I stick the draws on a thick sheet I bring with me to the bathroom to memorise the right gesture of each product!

Following this order, every moorning and night, I apply the Vinexpert Firming serum (1) that contains the most Resveratrol concentration. Then the Vinexpert Anti-aging serum eyes and lips perfectly moisturizes my higly sensitive eyelid contour. The  two serums have a pleasant light texture, absolutely not sticky.

As a day cream, I use Vinexpert Radiance day fluid SPF10 (3). The fluid texture penetrates really quickly and matifies my complexion, protecting the skin with a SPF10. After few weeks, it makes my pores of skin smaller and brighten my complexion all day long. Recently I’ve really noticed it! 

And  the best for last :  the Vinexpert Night infusion cream (4) is my bless cream I love to apply each night. Its amazing thick texture nourrishes and regenates my skin. My “hug” cream that smoothes and relaxes my features. For one month my skin’s completely changed, most of my spots have been reduced to match skin’s natural, overall tone. Toner, my outline of the face has a better shap. Repeating the same gesture twice a day is like a firming draining massage to the skin.

The Vinexpert regiment is my best beauty surprise after the summer holidays. Cause I’m not the kind to trust anti-aging creams! And when I started testing the products, I didn’t expect more than a good moisturazing! For ending I do love the very discret scent of Caudalie’s products and the fact they don’t have parabens, phenoxyethanol, artificial colorings, mineral oils… No testing on animals. And they are non-comedogenic. “What else?”.

Riraku, The Spa of The Hyatt Regency Kyoto : The Incredible Experience of The Japanese Acuponcture

As soon as I arrived in the Riraku spa, 

I felt being in a warm refine cocon (light panelling, subdued lights, cosy flow). I choose in the Japanese Medical Therapies menu, the Bishin treatment : more than one hour of Japanese acuponture treatment. A real discovery for me!

My bathrobe worn, the Japanese medical practitioner, a Japanese young woman, gives me a questionnaire. She will be my Japanese acuponture therapist.  She completes her precise diagnostic of my back pain (due to heavy photo equipment)!

She disinfects her hands and asks me to lie down and takes a long thin needle sterilised out of the box. Oops oops! She focusses a particular acuponture point and inserts the needle from a quick movement. I feel a really mild pinching, almost nothing. 

When she finishes with needles, she covers me with a cover and comes down the light intensity and leaves me “relaxing”. I’m floatting in the air, feeling a bit cold : in a perfect sleepness when she cames back half an hour later (she said).

Removing the needles,

she sometimes presses hard on the body with her hands. Before leaving, she explains me the correct assessment for my back problems and recommends me more Japanese acuponture treatments. 

I walk out drained and shaky, in a “marsmallow” body. I just want to chill, relax and doing nothing. Zen made in Japan! But the next morning, I woke up fresh  in a new body full of an incredible energy.

You definetly have to test it at the end of the day, planning nothing after if you really want to enjoy it! Sugoi sugoi!

The Haute Couture Relaxer @ Univers Phyto, in Paris

A post dedicated to girls with ultra dry curly or freezy hair.

Today I tested the UNIVERS PHYTO‘s institute in Paris. We started yesterday by THE diagnostic. A kind of a hair ultrasound scan on a small screen. Then Lydia comments my diagnostic: an ultra dry hair that needs more care and hydratation not to break. “The good points”: a thick strong hair. But I have to stop using my organic shea butter that greases without feedind my hair. 

Then Lydia relaxes my hair with the PHYTORELAXER, one of the most popular products of the PHOTO SPECIFIC line. Following by a care treatment to feed and smooth the hair. Lydia offers me cakes and orange juice and asks me what’s kind of hairdressing I’d like to do. Truly I didn’t have any idea, cause I don’t like to do my hair. We decided to strench it.

Wow what a shock when I discovered my hair longer, lighter and smoother (like silk) than ever! This first institute experience changed my way to look at my hair. And now I must confess, I look foward to testing the other products of PHYTO SPECIFIC to use at home (be patient, in my next beauty posts!).
