Beauty Advice

Cleansing is your first beauty step: cleanse skin twice a day to remove dirt, pollution, excess sebum and to slow the appearance of small imperfections and blackheads.

Exfoliate regularly, once a week, to eliminate dead cells and revive complexion radiance.

If you have oily skin, apply a normalising mask once or twice a week to regulate sebum production, soothe skin and tighten pores.

If your skin is dull and dehydrated, apply a hydrating mask once or twice a week to provide comfort and freshen skin.

Use concealers to hide and neutralise redness, imperfections and small spots.

Sleep is the best beauty secret! Always go to bed and wake up at regular times, regardless of how long you sleep.

When it comes to diet, the winning trio are quality, quantity and enjoyment! Vary what you eat, avoid too much sugar and fat and don't eat too many snacks between meals. Be adventurous, try different flavours and balance your appetite according to how active you are.

Exercise regularly, alone or with others. Get moving, go dancing…this way you'll get your body into good habits; oxygenating it and working your muscles.

Fatigue and lack of sleep can make your skin feel dry, tight and look lined. Use a hydrating mask to bathe skin in moisture, restoring its suppleness and freshness.

At 30, redness and spots can still appear. Soothe them with anti-imperfection skin care applied either over or under your make-up.

Late nights, fatigue, stress? Use fatigue-fighting eye contour care to instantly smooth, refresh and illuminate the eyes.

Remember that losing one good night's sleep can take a week to recover from. Avoid coffee after 3pm and try to keep regular sleeping patterns to get your body into a healthy routine.

Get moving! Sport is the ideal way to burn extra energy, but you can also walk instead of driving, climb stairs on tiptoe and do stretching exercises at home.

Stop smoking and your skin will be more radiant and healthy. You will no longer be choking your skin, releasing free radicals or getting breathless.

Enjoy the sun in moderation. It is the number one factor behind premature ageing and dark spots. Always use sun creams and avoid the sun between midday and 4pm.

Once a week, apply a mask followed by your night cream and have an early night. You will wake up to a younger-looking you!

When applying your night cream, don't stop at the chin… always continue down to the décolleté area.

For an instant refreshing and softening effect, apply a hydrating mask once a week, removing any excess with a cotton pad soaked in toning lotion.

Get into the habit of using a moisturiser on your hands after you wash them and before you go to bed.

Start the day with a large glass of water at room temperature. It's the first hydrating step of the day for your body and skin.

At 40, deficiencies or excesses in your diet will show up on your skin, so try to eat a balanced and varied diet, avoiding too many sugary snacks and desserts!

The top beauty secret is sleep. Always get enough rest by avoiding stimulants after midday, airing your bedroom and lowering the heating.

Enjoy the sun in moderation. It may be the source of life, but it is also the leading factor behind premature ageing and dark spots. Always use a day cream with sun protection as soon as the good weather arrives and use high factor protection during the first few days of any holiday.

Depending on its particular needs, your skin may require special skin care with richer textures. Watch it carefully and don't hesitate to adapt your regular routine and products if necessary.

Apply your eye contour care with pressing motions, from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye.

Revive complexion radiance with regular exfoliation twice a week. Make sure you include the neck area and follow with a mask, resting for 10 minutes afterwards as you would in the Skin Spa.

Always go out wearing a high protection sun cream to prevent the appearance of dark spots.

Always eat a good breakfast to give you an energy boost for the day. Include whole grains and fresh fruit which are packed with vitamins.

Going to bed early and at a regular time allows your skin to enjoy the repairing benefits of the hours of sleep before midnight.

Try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. This can include going for a walk or taking the stairs.

Relax your legs and feet in the summer with a cool shower. In the winter, massage them with oil, concentrating on the arches and using targeted skin care if they feel tired and heavy.

During pregnancy, your skin changes and can become drier or more oily. To meet its new needs, change your face care products.

Remember to keep your bust firm by applying a specific bust care every day and regularly exfoliating the bust area.

After pregnancy, the muscle tone of your abdominal wall slackens. Regain a flat stomach with these simple exercises; scissor movements with legs in the air and moving straight legs up and down without touching the floor. Start with 5 at a time then work up to 10 and more.

An ideal exercise for relaxing your back is to lie on the floor with arms crossed and legs bent onto the stomach and gently roll from left to right, keeping shoulders on the floor.

Control your sugar cravings! Instead of constant snacking, enjoy a nice piece of cake once a week.

Avoid drinking water while you eat. Water encourages rapid dilution of food in the stomach which slows the feeling of fullness.

Pamper and relax your legs by taking cool showers, raising them throughout the day and wearing low heels. Massage to stimulate circulation, applying a specific lotion for heavy-feeling legs.

8-9 hours of sleep are essential to keep you in top shape. When you are on maternity leave, take a siesta whenever you feel the need.
