Orlane longevity care
As announced right after its launch, Orlane focuses its advanced anti-ageing research on the longevity protein: Sirtuine. Age-repair right at the heart of the skin cells. A new passionate approach, however the stabilisation of the eternal youth gene is still to prove … After a 28-days Anti-Age Global treatment, it is time for an appointment at the beauticians to have full benefit of your treatment. This two-step programme offers you a 1.30H treatment with breakthrough technologies.
First step, the Lonto gets into action. This advanced massage technology helps you eliminate toxic build-ups and reactivates the cellular metabolism by means of soft wavy pulsations, making you feel light and relaxed.
Step two, an intense manual massage starting from shoulders, arms, up the face, leading to the ultimate scalp-massage, stimulating the micro-circulation of the head. Simply divine! This is the moment when the treatment really comes into action. Applied on the well-prepared skin, the serum goes straight to the heart of the cells. Result: the skin appears smoother, firmed and youthful-looking, long live our skins!

Valmont – Alexandre Zouari: chic and choc!
To my right Alexandre Zouari, the man with the golden scissors, hairdresser of the stars and “fashionatas” for over 20 years now. His name is like an institution. To my left Valmont, master of haute couture cosmetics. They perfect combination. After a re-looking session in the experienced hands of the master hairdresser, a visit to the 180m² Parisian sanctuary of beauty and relaxation is an absolute must. Five new Valmont beauty rituals: anti-ageing, revitalising, moisturising and age-repair treatments by four highly qualified Alexandre Zouari beauticians following the Valmont protocols. We have a preference for the anti-ageing repair treatment, a sophisticated mix of a collagen mask and a nano-emulsion to give you a dramatically younger looking skin. Caroline, with her magic hands, knows how make you forget the stress thanks to her relaxing head, neck and even the feet massage. Indeed we are talking about a facial. Why?

Valmont at the Meurice Hotel
It looks like the exclusive Suisse brand of Lake Geneva, Valmont, is on its way to monopolise the French capital. After a successful co-operation with famous hairdresser Alexandre Zouari, it is the turn of one of Paris’ oldest palaces, the recently in Dali-style decorated, Meurice Hotel. Its director Sylvaine Decleves, offers professional and personal advice on the Valmont products which can be bought in the spa. A real treat: the glacial vitality care treatment, leaving the skin already after a couple of minutes, smoother, more radiant and youthful-looking. And all this in the historic setting of the Meurice Hotel, where once Alphonse XIII, Coco Chanel, Constantin of Greece and Charlie Chaplin were on the guest list. The Meurice Hotel and Valmont welcomed many celebrities over the years; the only thing you have to do is put yourself in line.
Price: from 200€ (vitality glacial moisturising treatment) to 220€ (special anti-ageing treatment with intensive lifting effect)
Ingrid Millet: Black gold or nothing.
Just some historical background, 1961, Ingrid Millet a beautician specialised in aromatherapy, discovers the benefits of cellular extracts and their ant-ageing effects, creating a basis for cosmetics since. The brand continued intensive research and discovered a real treasure: caviar. And all tough this might sound normal today, the benefits of this black gold with its enormous potential, the richness of marine elements in caviar, were not so clear from the start. Finally the caviar pearl was launched in 1972, establishing its outstanding reputation in the world of cosmetics and even today the Parisian Institute is discovering that caviar still has so much more to offer. From energetic anti-wrinkle treatments, moisturising hydro care to regenerating treatments all boasted with loads of trace-elements. A treatment that has become legendary, an absolute must, even when it’s only once……
