During the summer, we keep our skincare routine to a minimum without neglecting the essentials to nourish and protect.
Look for multi-functional products that will make your travels easy and keep you refreshed on those hot summer days.
BEURRE DE KARITÉ, OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE BULY
Shea butter is a powerful moisturiser. It is a true ally as it protects the skin barrier, fights dryness, soothes irritations and leaves the epidermis and hair soft and supple. Composed of triglycerides, glycerin and fatty acids, this bioactive complex protects the skin and is a must-have when travelling. Use it on your lips, body, food, hair and nails. Its concentration of vitamin A stimulates cell renewal and leaves the skin hydrated and radiant.
IRMAS TIP
Apply Shea Butter to the dry ends of your hair, your lips, your food and the skin around your nails every night before you go to bed. When you wake up, your skin will be plumped, hydrated and glowing.
Mix a teaspoon of Shea Butter with your favourite vegetable oil. The two effects are combined! Perfect as a mask after a day in the sun.
HUILE D`AMANDONS D’ARGANIER, OFFICINE UNIVERSELLE BULY
Revive your dull looking skin with Argan Kernel Oil, which is ideal for dry, mature skin that lacks vitality and suppleness. It is also highly beneficial for very dry and dull hair.
Used before exposure to the sun, it prevents the damage associated with sun exposure.
IRMAS TIP
Add a few drops to your hair conditioner for an extra boost of shine.
THE SMOOTHING SERUM, MANTLE
The perfect summer treatment for enlarged pores, The Smoothing Serum contains a triple peptide complex for smoother, firmer skin. The blend of powerful peptides, Argireline™, Matrixyl 3000® and Matrixyl® Synthe’ 6®, combined with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, stimulates collagen production, increases skin’s elasticity and plumps lines + creases for a smoother, more even complexion, in a smaller size to fit in your handbag.
IRMAS TIP
Keep in the fridge and enjoy the freshness and texture of the product when applied by hand.
LOTION TONIQUE AUX FLEURS, SISLEY
Originally used to remove traces of make-up and cleanse the skin.
Formulated with rose, cornflower and witch hazel hydrolats, known for their calming and softening properties, this lotion is suitable for dry, sensitive skin. It tones, soothes and prepares the skin for your daily skincare regime.
IRMAS TIP:
Also perfect to refresh over your make-up during the day. Simply squeeze the lotion into a spray bottle and use whenever your skin needs a refresher or a deep breath of SISLEY’S, plant based ingredients that will leave you feeling fresh and glowing.
You may already be familiar with Dr. Barbara Sturm’s GLOW DROPS, and this summer she introduces GLOW CREAM; a rich, creamy moisturiser that instantly brightens the complexion and provides both immediate and long-lasting hydration.
IRMAS TIP:
Apply GLOW CREAM evenly to face, neck and décolleté after cleansing. This rich cream can also be used in a small amount as a cleansing cream or in a larger amount as a face mask.
HERMÈS PLEIN AIR, MINERAL POWDER
Beauty embraces the open air with the H Trio mineral powders. Inspired by three of nature’s elements – air, sun and earth – the healthy glow mineral powder leaves a semi-matte veil of finely iridescent, pigmented powder on the skin, illuminating the complexion with natural warmth.
IRMAS TIP:
Take a smaller brush and use the darker shades of the palette as eyeshadows.
