Beauty Selection offers an exclusive selection of must-have skincare products for summer, plus a special feature on Gentlemen 1919. Bonus features include tips for staying in shape and a fashion focus on Tabio, Lacoste and Skagen.

FOR HAIR :

– the Gentlemen 1919 hair salon, barbershop and speakeasy. After l’Atelier Gentlemen in Montmartre, Sébastien Paucod and his partner Frédéric Lafleur have succeeded in their new challenge, a stone’s throw from the Champs Elysées. Firstly, because the decor, in the American style of the 1930s and Prohibition, is superb. Secondly, because Sébastien, who cuts wet hair with straight scissors, is very talented. And finally, because he also knows how to trim beards, goatees and moustaches to perfection. And let’s not forget the speakeasy, accessible via the back door, with its bar (and delicious cocktails), smoking room and tasty snacks. A real success story, well deserved for this enthusiast, always attentive to his customers’ expectations. RDV 11, rue Jean Mermoz Paris 8ème. T : 01 42 89 42 59

– Naturia shampoo by René Furterer is gentle and balancing. A combination of natural essences (basil, mint and caraway) and vitamins (B5 and B6), it cleans and purifies the scalp and hair. 100% active ingredients of natural origin.

– Klorane shampoo with chamomile and blond highlights, paraben-free and silicone-free, to gently illuminate all shades of blond.

FOR THE SUN :

– Shiseido protective milk 50+, a very high level of water-resistant protection, alcohol-free and fragrance-free, tested on sensitive skin.
– Shisheido SPF 15 sun spray. A lightweight formula that remains invisible even after repeated applications and prevents sand from sticking to the skin. For face, body and hair (photo).
– Liérac Sunific Solaire 2, including an iridescent milky mist for tanning and anti-aging, and a melting cream for the face and décolleté.
– Hawaiian Tropic, sun care products “made in the USA”, including Silk Hydratation (ultra-light texture, high water resistance and non-greasy formula), Satin Protection protective mist and After Sun Ultra Radiance for radiant skin.

FOR BODY AND SHOWER :

– Mennen Tonique 24h deodorant stick 100% ergonomic, alcohol- and aluminum-free.
– Cellu Slim 45+ by Elancyl, a slimming, shaping treatment with cecropia extract, caffeine and redensifying apple extract. And the toning foaming scrub with ivy extract (cleanses, exfoliates and softens).

FOR ATHLETES:

– weight training, done intelligently, is an excellent sport. For training, the Domyos range of gloves is impeccable: superb and high-performance, even when using heavy loads. The benchmark.
– Azinc Forme et Vitalité (12 vitamins and 8 trace elements). A high-performance cocktail that will appeal to men in particular, thanks to its testosterone-boosting vitamin D and Zinc.
– l’Almanach des légumes d’EXKI (Marabout), a book featuring highly original protein recipes.

MODE side:

– the famous Tabio brand of Japanese socks. A wide range of excellent quality (including moccasin footsies and the marathon model) and the option of personalizing socks with embroidery. Two addresses: 32 rue St Sulpice Paris 6e and 15 rue Vieille du temple Paris 4e.

– The new Lacoste sport collection merges the worlds of fashion and sport, combining technicality, performance and innovation with the brand’s emblematic style. The cuts are modern and the innovations are particularly seductive.
A must-have, now more than ever.

– the Skagen watch brand has opened its first boutique in France at 142 avenue des Champs Elysées in the heart of the Maison du Danemark. A unique opportunity to discover the models in a refined 70 m2 space, including a customization studio. Don’t miss….
