SPRING
Spring marks the renewal of nature and the skin.
In my bathroom
For a fresh, radiant-looking complexion
This transition period is ideal for detoxifying and boosting the skin before warmer days arrive. It’s important to help make sure the skin is able to relaunch cellularfuction, regulate sebum production, and prepare it for the sun’s first rays. It’s an entire skin care regiment!

Hydrate and protect your skin
When the temperature rises, UVA rays can attack the skin and cause premature skin aging. Skin is also subject to the harmful effects of pollution that can alter hydration… This is a toxic cocktail for the skin.
Apricot

AUTUMN
A special transition season for the skin.
In my bathroom
Achieve “new” skin
A season of transition and a time to repair eventual alternations the skin undergoes caused by sun exposure, from chlorine in swimming pools, to saltwater… and, the skin should ‘un-tan’ beautifully! It’s important to gently remove dead skin cells with regular exfoliation followed by thorough hydration with a nourishing cream.
Hazelnuts
My seasonal shopping
Food plays a roll too! Seasonal fruits and vegetables help hydrate and provide antioxidants. Beans, eggs and fish help provide protein the skin’s structure needs. Your mantra for going back to school/work fully energized? Enjoy a variety of colourful foods, full of vitamins.

WINTER
The secret to beautiful skin in the winter? Moisture!
In my bathroom
Comforted skin, including the lips, and hands!
Skin can be affected by the cold, wind, changes in temperature (indoor and outdoor). Skin tends to become dry; It can feel tight and look red. It is thirsty for comfort. Skin needs rich creams for optimal hydration. But also remember to nourish the skin from the inside!
Grapefruit
My seasonal shopping
Take in enough water through soups and herbal teas, this helps hydrate the dermal skin layers and choose seasonal foods like beans and fruit that are rich in antioxidants (be sure to keep the skin with all the nutrients). Think about getting enough vitamin B, which is essential to skin renewal (beer yeast) and to fill up on fibers and minerals. Finally, seafood like scallops and oysters are rich in omega-3, zinc (essential for collagen synthesis) and selenium.
