How can you be in great shape this summer, look good and enjoy the sun safely? Here’s an exclusive selection of the most innovative products, with a few bonus fashion tips.
For suncare products:
– Clinique offers a high-performance range that is 100% fragrance-free, allergy-tested, photo-allergy-tested, photo-toxicity-tested and ophthalmologically-tested (for face products). It contains “Solar Smart TM” technology (a unique blend of sunscreens). A highly practical cream, for example, is available for both face and body. And let’s not forget the after-sun repair balm with aloe vera, the SPF 35 targeted protection stick, the SPF30 nomad cream in its practical mini-tube (photo), and the “BB Cream”, the new complexion-evening treatment that’s already a must-have.
– Phytomer has designed a face and body SPF 15 sun cream with top-of-the-range protection against sunburn and optimal hydration for a radiant tan.
For shower gels:
– Roger&Gallet L’Homme Sport, enriched with magnesium, gently cleanses body and hair and provides a pleasant fragrance.
– Vichy Hydra Mag C, featuring magnesium and vitamin C for instant energy boost
– Académie Men, enriched with oak and birch extracts and provitamin B5 (the morning trifecta)
– Ushuaïa is inspired by the ancestral rituals of Asian warriors! (choose between Tiger grass, volcanic rock and blue algae). PH-neutral and soap-free.
For the hair:
Naturia” shampoo from René Furterer is gentle and balancing. A combination of natural essences (basil, mint and caraway) and vitamins (B5 and B6), it cleanses and purifies scalp and hair. Use as often as desired. THE reference.
Not all salons are alike. At “COIFF1RST”, for example, the picket cuts are superb and the setting is always very pleasant (don’t hesitate to try out the little salon just off the Champs Elysées).
For aftershave :
Avène’s fluid and balm for sensitive skin, as well as the shaving gel that erases skin imperfections, are a perfect match.
For breath :
Toothbrushes from the Pierre Fabre Group, as well as the Alibi range (lozenges, spray and tongue scraper), provide effective, everyday help.
Fisherman’s Friend” lozenges (created in the 19th century!) are also very effective.
For the form:
Playing sports slows down the aging process, so don’t hesitate to take up swimming this summer, as well as fitness (Muscle&Fitness magazine will guide you in your efforts). If your muscles are tired, you can use Arnigel (paraben-free), Arkopharma’s Chinese Balm, or Chondrostréo + specifically for joints.
for tonus, the dietary supplement “Magnesium 300 +” (Laboratoires Boiron) won’t let you down, especially if you need the energy to swim several times a day. Please note, however, that it is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle (keep out of reach of young children, do not use if hypersensitive to any of the ingredients, do not exceed the prescribed dose without medical advice).
LOV ORGANIC organic teas are a combination of innovative recipes and eco-designed packs. A new way to take care of yourself, thanks in particular to “White Downy”, a Chinese white tea rich in antioxidants.
For hands:
– La Compagnie de Provence, founded in Marseille in 1990, offers superb soaps (“l’extra pur”, for example) and hand creams.
– Assanis individual wipes and antibacterial hand gels, always very practical during the summer months
– Pierre Fabre “A-Derma”, “Ducray Ictyane” and “Avène – Cold Cream” creams, ideal at all times.
Specifically for women:
Liérac has created “Sunific”, top-of-the-range sun and after-sun care products. Depending on your skin’s resistance, the intensity of the sun and the time of your stay, it’s up to you to choose the range that’s right for you. A truly remarkable innovation. What’s more, Sunific benefits from the most advanced Liérac techniques, offering superb voluptuous textures and glamorous tubes and bottles. In parallel, the brand has designed the Bodyslim lifting serum and the Belly & Waist concentrate, a winning duo for slimming your figure, as well as superb sensory scrubs with 3 white flowers.
Arkopharma also offers Arkogel, paraben-free gels that provide a pleasant sensation of well-being for the legs.
Fashion :
several brands are must-haves this summer. Firstly, Fossil, with its superb vintage leather bags for men and women. Then there’s Pierre Lannier, with its magnificent, trendy watches. But also “Lee” jeans (the more you wear them, the more attractive they become!) and Bleu Forêt socks, with a particularly attractive top-of-the-range cotton and silk collection.
