We all wish we were beautiful, want to feel beautiful and want others to find us beautiful. But if we accept the idea that beauty is purely subjective and that our conception of it depends on a whole host of criteria, there is one area that falls outside subjectivity: skin beauty.
Our skin is either beautiful or isn’t, our complexion is either radiant or dull, our skin healthy or unhealthy, our skin texture soft and velvety or not and none of this has anything to do with subjectivity but observable fact.
The most demanding and first beauty advice is never to neglect the night-time make-up removal session (make-up removing treatment oil and alcohol-free lotion) and become aware that it is this phase that determines the state of your complexion the following morning. I am not totally convinced that night creams are all that useful except in cases of extreme fatigue or devitalized skin (in which case give yourself a 15 day cure of a few drops of Beauty Serum). Avoid using tap water as chlorine and hard water tend to be abrasive on the skin. Opt instead for the Clear Skin Lotion or Floral Water, and if you’re broke, use spring water in a spray bottle.
My second piece of beauty advice is a warning: there is nothing more paranoid, suspicious, and grudge-bearing than the skin. So never use abrasive products such as cleansing foam or even extra oily soap on it. If you do, it will wreak its revenge by secreting more sebum, dilating the pores that will clog up twice as fast and become totally de-moisturized… This is why I reiterate that the Senteurs de Fée range distinguishes itself by providing you with products that are extremely concentrated in active ingredients and therefore efficient, effective, soft and non-aggressive.
My third piece of beauty advice is one of common sense and wisdom:
Excepting in very rare cases, there is no such thing as a beautiful skin without a healthy diet, a moisturized body and sufficient sleep. So don’t go thinking that even extraordinary products like mine can keep your skin beautiful and your complexion radiant eternally if you are forever partying, smoking and indulging in an unbalanced diet. They can, like Nectar de Rose, purify, revitalize and eliminate all signs of fatigue as our superb actress Cecile Cassel will tell you; it’s true, but only for a certain time. To sum up, without a minimum of healthy living you will find yourself:
‘all crumpled, sun wrinkled and exasperated to be constantly thwarted by cosmetics that never keep their promises and it won’t be the fairies’ fault…”
And finally, to conclude this moment in your company, my last and most demanding, most expensive piece of advice that you’ll never find in a bottle but to which I am entirely devoted and partake in with passion and enthusiasm:
‘Spoil yourself and begin by loving yourself!! There’s one thing you should never forget, whatever you believe is wrong with your face or figure, there is one remarkable and miraculous fact : you are all unique!’
