My Summer Beauty Routine: Scrubs and Balm

One of the most important care, when you stay at the seaside: the scrub to prepare the skin and keep a nice tan long. I kept my two favorite scrubs I discovered aerlier this year. For the face : the Masque-gommage Réconfortant “Rose blanche” (the “White Rose” comforting face mask and exfoliator) of Doux Me, for fragile and sensitized skins. It’s bio: Doux Me cosmetics are among the few bio cosmetics that do not cause me allergies or reactions. And I love their textute! I prefer appling my scrub at night, to avoid problems with the sun. For the body: a touch of argan and Essaouira, with the Gommage soyeux au savon noir (the silky Black Soap Scrub) of Galénic. It’s not organic, but it makes the skinin credibly soft! I like slightly minty smell and texture like a jelly, a real treat! The super natural alternative (and extra light for the vanity case) dedicated to the beach babes: do a light body scrub with the sand, before plunging into the sea. To complete my body scrub: I apply the Haki balm with essential oils, on my feet. I use it only at night: as I don’t know its exact composition, I fear it might be photo-sensitizer (because of essential oils). This balm soothes, nourishes and softens the feet driest and the most stressed. Essential to have”happy” pretty feet (yes!) in flip flops and extra-flat sandals.

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.

South Tyrol, Italy: Lunch @ The Golf & Spa Resort Andreus

After my first golf lesson

(congrats Ms Le K, lol!) and before going to “fix” my back and shoulders (oops!): a light lunch in the lounge bar of the Andreus Golf & Spa Resort, with a fantastic view on the mountain.

The scenery is magnificent (last picture). What a surprise discovering my beautiful dishes (pictures 1 & 2: the starter and the main course)! And also delicious!

During my stay in Süd Tyrol, I noticed in all the restaurants I went : few eatables flowers were often added to perfect the food presentation. I really like it, it brightens and feminizes the presentation. See you at the spa
