Exotic Exfoliating Soaps

For An Even Softer Skin

From Porto Santo, a small island off Madeira, I brought in my suitcases these beautiful exfoliating soaps in the shape of blue pebbles as the Atlantic Ocean, of the new local brand Terramiga (friendly earth, photo 3 below above). 

This volcanic island is renowned for its superb 9 km sandy beach. The “biogenic carbonate” sand is therapeutic to the skin, arthritis, rheumatism ... (photos abvoe 1 and 2). Curious, I couldn’t resist the temptation to try the famous warm sand treatment (the post soon!). It’s not every day you find yourself in a beautiful spa, buried in a hot sand box! 

In the Terramiga Premium box (photo above): the color of each soap corresponds to a degree of exfoliation. Foot/Hand – strong exfoliation dark blue soap. Body – medium exfoliation navy-blue soap to clean the body. Face – gentle exfoliation sky-blue soap to remove the makeup. For my hedonistic buddies, the smell is to die for!

Body Moisturizer and Oil

A Very Sensual Summer

I haven’t used Vichy products for ages! And my thunderbolt product is the Vichy Ideal Body Aqua Sorbet: the creamy light texture is a treat! I don’t have to apply a lot of product to gently moisturize my super dry skin. Peach skin! And the fragrance is fantastic! A pure pleasure instant! The product would improve the firmness too. Why not! 

In summer, my objective is to fight against dehydration and irritation due to sweat, salt, solar products etc … The Ideal Body 3-Gold Oil is perfect at night to sublimate the tan on face (like a complexion illuminator), hair and body (to give a finish touch on decollete, arms and legs). 

Less is more … Versatile products to use both in the sea, town and countryside.

Savons exfoliants et exotiques

Pour une peau encore plus douce

De mon récent séjour à Porto Santo, petite île au large de Madeira, j’ai ramené dans mes valises ces beaux savons exfoliants, au formes de galets bleus comme l’Atlantique, de la nouvelle marque locale Terramiga (terre amicale, photo 3 ci dessus).

Cette île volcanique est réputée pour sa superbe plage de 9 km, dont le sable “carbonaté biogénique” a des vertus thérapeutiques sur la peau, l’arthrite, les rhumatismes… (Photo 1 et 2). Curieuse, je n’ai pas résisté à la tentation de tester le fameux soin au sable chaud (bientôt le post!). Ce n’est pas tous les jours qu’on se retrouve dans un superbe spa, enseveli dans un bac de sable chaud!

Dans le coffret Terramiga Premium (photo ci-dessus) : la couleur de chaque savon correspond à un degré d’exfoliation. Savon bleu foncé d’exfoliation ferme pour les mains et les pieds. Savon bleu marin d’exfoliation modérée pour le corps. Et savon bleu ciel d’exfoliation légère pour enlever le maquillage. Pour tou(te)s les hédonistes, l’odeur est à tomber!

Duo hydratant et huile sublimatrice

Un été très sensuel

Ca faisait longetemps que je n’utilisais plus de produits Vichy! Et mon coup de foudre produit corps va l’Ideal Body Aqua Sorbet de Vichy : un régal de texture, légère et craquante! Je n’ai jamais aussi peu appliqué de produit, pour un résultat aussi optimum! Peau de pêche! Et le parfum, top! Un pur moment de plaisir qui promet en plus : fermeté et lissage. Pourquoi pas!

L’été mon obsession est plus de lutter contre la déshydratation et les irritations dûes à la transpiration, le sel, les cinquante produits solaires etc… Quant à l’Ideal Body Huile 3 ors : parfaite le soir pour sublimer le hâle sur le visage (comme illuminateur de teint), sur les cheveux et le corps (donne du finish à un décolleté, aux bras et aux jambes).

Less is more… Des produits versatiles qui s’utilisent aussi bien à la mer qu’en ville qu’à la campagne.

Please give me a (fashion) break!

And let’s head to this small beach in Algarve! Here are my happy few must have to go to the beach! Colorful pareos (pictures 1 & 5, Zara and picture 3 Gérard Darel). I always take many, I also use them as a scarf or a cover when it’s a bit windy!

I could stay hours swimming!

That’s why I tested the Bio Beauté by Nuxe’s 50 SFP sunscreen, with a delicious coconut perfume and paraben free. Unfortunately the texture is a bit greasy and leaves on the skin a white layer. But the protection is strong!
