What’s in Valérie’s Suitcase?
In France, August is the month of les grandes vacances — which means a long summer holiday has just begun. Even if you do not currently find yourself in France with three weeks off from your job, there is something simple to take away from what this time of year means to the French. Summer is still here and there’s no need to rush! Take a deep breath, pause, and savor it.
Whether you are enjoying vacation mode, embarking on a weekend getaway, or finding the balance between work and home, we all could certainly use a skincare holiday. In the spirit of les grandes vacances, here are Valérie’s top travel picks.
1. Blue Aura Micellar Cleansing Water
Our clients have been asking for a travel-size of Blue Aura Cleansing Water for years it's finally here! Perfect for a quick, easy, on-the-go cleanse that effectively removes makeup, dirt, and pollution. No rinse necessary!
The fastest way to infuse the skin with oil-free hydration, our treatment mists also help prep and optimize the skin for subsequent products. My personal favorite is Hydra-Repair Treatment Mist with soothing Aloe and Immortelle. Smells amazing and really great for refreshing your skin mid-flight!
3. Vitamin C & E + Hyaluronic Acid Brightening Serum
Make sure the beautiful sun doesn’t leave any unwanted souvenirs after your summer holiday. When it comes to sun damage, you should act quickly for the best results! Our Cosmo award-winning Brightening Serum targets dark spots, dullness, and loss of collagen, while Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture to beat the heat.
4. Edelweiss Extrême® Derm-Restore Super Serum
The perfect serum to apply in the AM before your sunscreen, Derm-Restore Super Serum supports your skin barrier against the skin-damaging impacts of other daily environmental stressors like dry air, pollution, excess screen time, chronic stress, excess sugar intake, and more.
5. Green Smoothie® Ultra-Quenching Crème
Like a refreshing green smoothie to help keep you cool this summer, our award-winning high-performance water-locking cream recharges the skin with intense hydration that quenches skin without clogging pores. Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for this time of year.
Formulated with a double dose of Vitamin C to target radiance, firmness, and elasticity, this face-grade body care duo delivers summer skin after every shower that looks soft, smooth, shiny, and ready for swimsuits, shorts, and everything in between!
7. Tinted SPF 50 Mineral Drops
I hated sunscreen until I finally formulated a sunscreen that looked and felt so good, I actually wanted to wear it every single day. Gives you tha dewy summer glow with impressive SPF 50 broad spectrum protection, PA++++ anti-aging UVA protection, and skincare benefits with Niacinamide and Green Tea.
