My Summer Beauty Routine: Cleanser and Face Cream

After severe skin reactions last spring,

to get healthy skin, I decided to use a minimum of products and preferably “dermatologist”. This summer, my skincare routine limited to use the Eau micéllaire démaquillante (Micellar Cleansing Water) of Etat Pur, with a neutral pH (1). Perfect for combination skin. For a very cool and soothing effect, I put it away in the refrigerator.

As a tonic, I use the La Roche-Posay atomizer: excellent for calming the skin very sensitive to heat up under the association of sun, sweat and sunscreen. I store the mist in the refrigerator too, for an invigorating and firming effect.

The day, as I absolutely have to protect my skin from the sun, I use a sunscreen with very high index. And at night, I generously apply the cream Toleriane Ultra of La Roche-Posay (2), for allergic or intolerant skin that contains no preservatives, parabens, fragrance, alcohol, collorant and lanolin. Extra pure, with a completely airtight packaging.

This treatment has drastically improved the deplorable state of my skin after my severe allergy (appearance and comfort). SOS cream, super moisturizing and soothing (“anti-irritant”). After nearly two months of use, my skin was cleansed.

And for the pleasure to have a lovely color on the nails, I’ve finally worn Tour of Finance of ESSIE (3), a slightly metallic fuchsia pink. But I remain addicted to Ole Caliente, a punchy red-slightly orange.

Roger & Gallet: Huile Sublime Bois d’Orange, Perfumed Dry Oil

Dear nomadic friends : here a super light spray bottle (30 ml) to put in our bags and luggages! I am totally crazy about it : a greedy smell, SO sexy! This Perfumed dry oil silicone free is a fantastic beauty product : I don’t recommend very dry skin to use it as a treatment. But this dry oil is amazing as a “finish” (applyied after your usual moisturizing body creams) :  the skin is satin smooth and deliciously fragrant thanks to the orange essential oil and 6 natural oils. I am addicted! Irresistible after a sunbath, to sublimate tan and perfume hair! And for bad days, when I feel lazy (yes it happens, lol!) : its great texture and perfume make me feel better! Undoubtedly this is one of my “must have” of this summer!

La Roche-Posay: Physiological Cleansers & Makeup Removers

After a long period of skincare products tests,

my skin had an overdove and asked for a SOOTHING BREAK, with hypoallergenic dermatogical products (the kind of absolutely-not-glam care the dermatologist prescribed when we were teens!). I’ve started my extreme gentleness treatment, with those four La Roche-Posay products (picture above). They quickly began my essentials for a good cleasing.

I leaft my  (stripping) trendy Cleansing Water for a more classical duo:  Physiological Cleasing Milk / Lait Démaquillant Physiologique (2) and  Physiological Soothing Toner / Lotion Apaisante Physiologique (3) : what a comfort for the sensitive and very dehydrated skins! At night I use the Physiological Eye Make-up Remover / Démaquillant Yeux Physiologique (1).

And night and day, before applying my care, I spray the Thermal Spring Water by La Roche-Posay  (with Selenium, an anti-oxydant) all over the face and throat. For few weeks, my skin’s been less reactive (less redness). Great products : simple, efficient and paraben free!
