Oh about your beautiful skin

09/29/10 | by | Skin Care Info | 4 Comments »-->

One woman’s skin-care routine is another’s beauty ritual.

American women tend to see skin care from a clinical point of view, while French women often consider their time at the vanity in their toilette as a pleasurable part of their day, says Beth DiNardo, general manager of Darphin US, the American branch of the Paris-based cosmetics company.

“In the American culture, there is a focus on skin care to prevent the negatives,” she says, “whereas in French culture, skin care is a ritual that should be an enjoyable and positive part of the day.”

DiNardo’s suggestions on developing a French-style ritual:

Use cleansing milks instead of soap or other drying cleansers. “French women love rich, creamy cleansers,” she says.

Toning is a step that French women do not skip. Every French woman has a toner – which is supposed to remove residual oil or dirt – in her skin care lineup, according to DiNardo.

Use aromatic oils. French women have long believed in the power of oils to nourish the skin, and the aromatics add to the pleasure.

Take the time to inhale the aromas and warm the oil in the hands before application.

WE offer a 4 step Face-base Set, for each of the skin types. Normal,Oily, Sensitive and Mature.  Included: Milk cleanser, Tonic,Serum and Moisturizer.   http://www.votrevu.com/sites/pamelajf/productcatalog?  page=productdetail&sku=6008&fromCategory=true&categoryName=Face

I Hi- lighted our ATTENTIVE  line, this is for Sensitive skin. Attentive is the only fully Organic line ( by European standards )in the line. Any skin type can use products that are for sensitive skin, but that is not true with the other lines.

If you would like to try Votre Vu samples, contact me and I will send you samples try.

    If ever you would like to try samples from the line I rep, let me know, I can send you the samples. If eveyone did 4 steps. Cleanse, Wash, Tone, Moisturize, they would be better off. Then once we reach our 40′s, well, then there are a few more steps to stay ahead of the aging that is taking place. :-) . Have a nice weekend.

    There truly is a benefit to using milk cleansers, and there is a lot to why the French are the leaders in skin care. :-)
    Jen, during the pregnancy have you noticed any chnages in your skin?
