In May you don’t need much as your skin has undergone already the seasonal transition from winter to spring/summer.
Choose a seasonal vegetable and all you need is to add some moisturizer and a new scent. Here come your beauty essentials for the month of May.
WILD ASPARAGUS
Put some wild asparagus in your juicer and use it as a tonic for your daily skin care routine. Asparagus extract is known for treating acne but has a strong balancing and detoxing effect. The vitamins C and E improve the skin tone as well and helps against dark spot pigmentation. Vitamin C, especially, nourishes the skin and prevents skin dryness.
You can also use the asparagus juice, rich in calcium, zinc, copper, and iron as a tonic on your sculp for stronger, healthy growing hair before a hair wash.
And of course, you can eat it boiled or grilled to potatoes or with a dressing as a salad.

PORTRAIT OF A LADY , HAND CRÈME by DOMINIQUE ROPION for FRÉDÉRIC MALLE

This hand creme nourishes the hands with a soft and refined texture while granting an echo of the perfume.
Decadent yet easily absorbed, the cream itself caresses skin with comforting shea butter, countering dry, rough patches for everyday use.
