Colorescience’s focus on fusing the beauty of traditional makeup with the benefits and efficacy of skin care have lead them to become leaders in genuine mineral makeup products that protect your skin from the sun and environment without clogging your pores.  With their wide variety in colors and products—everything from primers to foundations to blushes to eye shadows to lip polishes and serums, in every possible color—Colorescience is the perfect way to add beautiful and skin-friendly products to your makeup bag. And remember, Colorescience is a unique natural makeup that is chemical, dye, talc,alcohol, and paraben-free.  And learning about what makeup techniques work best for you with our expert Michael will help you glow even more this season!

We hope you are able to take advantage of this opportunity with us on Monday. Call or email us to set up your appointment with Michael, and learn all about what colors, styles, and application techniques work best for you and your skin.

Warm Up Your Look with our Winter Glow Treatment!

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Looking for a quick way to relax and freshen up you skin this Holiday season?  We know it’s hard to find time for YOU this time of year, between all the time that is dedicated to working, shopping, cooking, cleaning, and spending time with loved ones.  Alors, nous vous proposons (we are pleased to present to you) our all new Winter Glow Treatment!

babyitscoldoutside

This thirty-minute treatment is the perfect way to work some of that Holiday tension out of your skin and off of your mind!  This treatment features our new Jan Marini Holiday Exfoliators, which work to immediately refine skin texture and follicle size with Glycolic Acid, Proteolytic Enzymes, gentle micro-beads and Antioxidants, leaving skin with a radiant, polished glow.  Come enjoy our warm atmosphere (with the cold weather we’ve had the past few days, a place to warm up sounds pretty nice!) and start off your “moment-pour-moi” with a deep cleansing that combines Jan Marini’s antioxidant C’ESTA CLEANSER, a deep acting gel that’s gentle on skin as it clears out dead cells, debris and makeup with the  Clarisonic Ultrasonic Brush to which we’ve added their NEW Luxe Brush head (think “cashmere”..) We then apply your favorite scented Jan Marini Holiday Exfoliator (Pumpkin Spice or Sugar Cookie!) to further refine your complexion and intensify the youthful glow of healthy and refreshed skin.  Finally, we moisturize your skin with Jan Marini’s Transformation Face Cream (hydrates and helps rebuild and repair damaged skin cells) and protect it (yes, sun protection even in this cold weather!) with Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant to maintain your fresh, healthy look! We might even suggest the Tinted BB cream version of this legendary sunscreen preferred by dermatologists, if you want a light veil of coverage.

Receive this relaxing treatment AND take home a Jan Marini Holiday Exfoliator (perfect as a stocking stuffer for a loved one, or as a way to have that “moment-pour-moi” at home!) in your favorite scent for just $75.  Remember, you can book online now to be sure you to treat yourself before things get really busy for the holidays, or after when you need that extra bit of relaxation!

Holiday Specials All December Long!

By

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Miss out on our fabulous Black Friday Weekend Specials?  Still want to give the gift of beautiful, healthy skin this season?  Ne vous inquiétez pas!  Here is a list of the specials at A French Touch that will be available (while supplies last!) for the rest of the Holiday Season:

~ Three Very Merry Sothys Gift Boxes!

hydradvance

The Anti-Aging Gift Box includes Sothys’ Noctuelle and Micro-Gel Peeling Exfoliator.  A Sothys classic, Noctuelle is a divinely-scented night cream designed for all skin types. It offers a resurfacing action that rejuvenates the skin and diminishes the signs of aging through the activity of AHAs, while Vitamins C & E  stimulate cell renewal to reveal a smooth skin with a more uniform and radiant complexion.  The Micro-Gel Peeling Exfoliator  is a newer exfoliant by Sothys, which uses gentle exfoliating grains with camellia leaf to remove the dull top layer. It transforms from a particulate gel into a smoothing oil as you massage it in—perfectly luxurious, in typical Sothys fashion!  This product is paraben-free, and contains white tea extract to calm your skin.  This duo works to resurface and revive the skin, and will leave you (or un ami of yours!) looking your best for time with the family this season.

The encouraging words and sentiments that we received yesterday evening are the reason we bring you the newest, most effective, crème de la crème of skin care with lines like Sothys, Jan Marini, and Colorescience; we want you to be happy, healthy, and not only look your best, but feel it, too!  As Sofia Loren once said, “Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful”, and we are so glad we got to celebrate that beauty with you yesterday, and hope to continue to do so all through the Holidays!
