Grandmothers' Day is just around the corner! It's the perfect opportunity to pay tribute to these women to whom we owe so much in terms of beauty, and so much more.
Tip #1: Remove your makeup every night, without exception
“Even before showing me how to apply mascara, my grandmother, the makeup enthusiast that is, taught me how to remove it. Today, when I come home and have to get rid of my smoky eye look, I think of her and her skin, which is still radiant after 70 years. It motivates me!”
The expert's opinion
Your skin also needs its beauty sleep. To regenerate, it must be free of all traces of makeup. Before going to bed, apply a makeup remover to remove all traces of makeup. Milk, micellar water, mousse, or oil: there's something for everyone!
To be flawless, try the double cleansing method. By the way, wasn't that one of your beauty resolutions this year?
Tip #2: Hydrate morning and evening
"Morning and evening, I apply a moisturizer, followed by a little spritz of floral water. It's a tip I learned from my grandmother: moisturize when you wake up for healthy skin, moisturize when you go to bed for rested skin!"
The expert's opinion
Stress, pollution, dust: your skin is put through its paces! To help it face the day, moisturize it in the morning before applying makeup. In the evening, nourish it to provide all the nutrients necessary for healthy cell regeneration.
You can also slip a hydrating mist into your handbag. It's perfect for refreshing, hydrating, and protecting your skin at any time of day.
Tip #3: Apply sunscreen
"I always choose moisturizers that contain sunscreen. A reflex inherited from my grandmother, who was above all wary of the effects of the sun's rays on her skin."
The expert's opinion
You protect your skin from the sun at the beach, but do you do the same in the city? 75% of skin exposure to UV rays occurs outside of the summer months. The right approach? A moisturizer that includes broad-spectrum sun protection, or a BB cream with SPF.
Tip #4: Practice Beauty Gym
"Putting faces together is good for your morale and your skin! In our family, we strictly follow this adage. To apply my nighttime skincare, there's nothing like a little facial exercise to prevent wrinkles and laugh before bed!"
The expert's opinion
Applying night cream is great, but doing so while stimulating your skin is even better. Here are the application techniques that enhance the effectiveness of moisturizing active ingredients! When applying your night cream, gently pat your skin before stimulating your face with Beauty Gym exercises.
Tip #5: Eat fruit
“The secret to my grandmother’s radiant complexion? Fruit! She taught me that outward beauty also depends on what you put on your plate.”
The expert's opinion
Rich in vitamins and minerals, fruits are a true cocktail for your skin's glow. At PAYOT, we love red fruits. Blackcurrants, strawberries, and redcurrants are rich in anthocyanins: these molecules, responsible for their color, also promote skin regeneration.
And you, what beauty advice did your grandmother pass on to you?
