Rejuvenating/Nourishing

Step 1: Clean the face and remove make-up with the Cleansing Milk (Lait Demaquillant) .
The combination of sweet almond oil and almond milk make this a very gentle way to remove any traces of make-up.

Step 2: Next, apply the Facial Scrub (Gommage Visage) with a soft damp complexion sponge and gently exfoliate by brushing the face in small circular motions, without pressure, avoiding the eye area. Then rinse with lukewarm water and dry the face completely.
The finely crushed bamboo stems not only clean deeply, but also are rich in silica, an essential mineral for keeping the skin supple. The Scrub also features naturally astringent peach milk.

Step 3: Remove any excess oils that remains with a piece of cotton, soaked in Tonic Lotion (Lotion Tonique) .
In addition to its astringent properties, this tonic is rich in flower and fruit waters to purify and tighten the pores without drying.

Step 4: Now apply a Purifying Mask (Masque Purifiant). Spread on the face in thick uniform layers, avoiding the eye area and let stand for 15 minutes. Simply rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. (Note: this mask has a cream base so it does not dry.)
This mask combines the deep cleaning effects of green clay with the hydrating properties of aloe vera to eliminate impurities. It also features green tea which tones and regenerates the skin.

Step 5: Repeat Step #3 (Tonic Lotion) to remove any excess clay or oil.

Step 6: Gently apply Eye Contour Gel-Cream around the eyes and lips.
Designed to repair these sensitive areas of the skin, this delicate cream stimulates circulation while toning and firming. It features anti-inflammatory witch hazel, astringent rose oil, healing arnica, and moisturizing beeswax.

Step 7: Now, apply a small amount of Moisturizing Serum (Serum Hydratant)over the entire face, focusing on problem areas. It is formulated to serve as a foundation for the Rejuvenating Cream.
This light-textured cream penetrates deeply to help stimulate and restructure the skin. It features sweet almond oil and aloe vera (both the oil and extract) to tone and firm.

Step 8:The final step is to apply the nourishing and protective Rejuvenating Cream (Crème Visage Renovatrice) over the entire face and neck.
The nourishing/softening properties of carrot and wheat germ oils are combined with tonifying fruit waters (which are also rich in trace minerals) to protect the skin from the elements and leave it glowing. This cream can be used on all types of skin.

Dry/Extra-Dry Skin

Follow Steps #1-#6 above.

Step 7: Now, apply a small amount of Moisturizing Facial Gel (Gel Hydratant) over the entire face, to revitalize dry skin. This concentrated gel is rich in easily absorbed moisturizers, including red seaweed, aloe vera, vegetable DNA, and natural hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar that's used in exclusive facial formulations to support collagen and elastin fibers.

Step 8:The final step is to apply the deep moisturizing Moisturizing Cream (Crème Visage Hydratant) over the entire face and neck.
This cream is a very effective humectant; i.e., it helps hold moisture in the skin throughout the day. It also features natural hyaluronic acid to promote elasticity, along with soothing and moisturizing jojoba oil, red seaweed extract, and aloe vera.

Oily Skin

Step 1: Clean the face and remove make-up with the Cleansing Milk (Lait Demaquillant) .
The combination of sweet almond oil and almond milk make this a very gentle way to remove any traces of make-up.

Step 2: Next, apply the Cleansing Foam for Oily Skin (Mousse Netoyante Visage Peaux Grasses Visage) with a soft damp complexion sponge and gently exfoliate by brushing the face in small circular motions, without pressure, avoiding the eye area. Then rinse with lukewarm water and dry the face completely.
Oily skin is caused by an imbalance in the skin's natural pH. This gentle foam, features natural amino acids and antiseptic plant extracts to clean, open the pores, and help remove excess sebum. It can be used morning and night after removing makeup.

Step 3: Now apply a Purifying Mask (Masque Purifiant). Spread on the face in thick uniform layers, avoiding the eye area and let stand for 15 minutes. Simply rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry. (Note: this mask has a cream base so it does not dry.)
This mask combines the deep cleaning effects of green clay with the hydrating properties of aloe vera to eliminate impurities. It also features green tea which tones and regenerates the skin.

Step 4: Remove any excess clay with a piece of cotton, soaked in Tonic Lotion (Lotion Tonique) .

Step 5: In order to protect the skin while maintaining the optimal pH imbalance, finish your facial-care regiment by applying this Balancing Emulsion (Emulsion Equilibrante Peaux Grasses)over the entire face and neck.
This light-textured cream absorbs deeply to neutralize the typical "shine" of oily skin without covering up its natural glow. Soothing lavender flower water and apricot kernel oil tighten the skin while antiseptic Juniper oils help to remove dead cells.

Organic Facial Care w/ Olive Oil

Step 1: Remove make-up from the face and around the eyes with the Tonic/Make-up Remover (Demaquillant Tonic).
Formulated with calming chamomile flower water and moisturizing olive-leaf extract, this tonic cleans deeply while toning the skin. Alcohol-free, it has a pH that's very similar to tears so it is gentle enough to use around the eyes. Rinse with clear water after using.
