New Product! Marini Physical Protectant SPF 45

By

A French Touch Parisian Skincare Salon is proud to present the latest product from Jan Marini Skin Research!

Marini Physical Protectant is a sunblock, but it is also so much more. It carries the same antioxidants as your favorite Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant, but at SPF 45 – a little extra protection never hurts!

With the holiday season coming up, sun protection may not be high on everyone’s priorities. But the sun still reaches your skin in cold weather, so that’s no excuse to allow damaging rays to prematurely age your skin. This particular sunblock works overtime to prevent aging through its use of purely physical filters to prevent sun damage without resorting to harsh chemicals. These filter both UVA and UVB rays to prevent skin damage and premature aging. In addition to this damage-fighting technology,  Marini Physical Protectant contains antioxidants which enhance your skin to keep it looking youthful.

Marini Physical Protectant is unique in that it carries a universal tint which works on any skin tone. The weightless formula carries microscopic sponges to absorb oil and give your skin a sheer, matte finish. In addition to all that, the sunblock is enhanced by the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and skin conditioning benefits of green tea extract, alpha-bisabolol and CoEnzyme Q10 to soothe and calm the skin from stress caused by UV and heat.

The best part: this month, when you buy Marini Physical Protectant, you can get 50% off your next mini facial! Don’t miss this opportunity to try a cutting-edge new product and keep your skin healthy!

Legendary Lashes

At A French Touch Salon, we are proud to introduce a new product to our repertoire – Sothys Mascara Soin Volume, or Volume Care Mascara.  As we all know, shopping for mascara can be a daunting task simply because there are so many options for such similar products.  Fear not, however; we’re here to make it easier.  Let’s take a look at the many components involved in mascara selection.

  1. The brush:  From futuristic bell-shaped bristles to those that literally vibrate, it seems as though each company is more desperate than the last to come up with the most outrageous design.  Yet none of these new technologies have actually caught on, and for good reason: there is just no way to improve the design of the classic mascara brush.  Just like the French manner of dress, the classic brush is simple, easy to manage, and never tries too hard.  The Sothys brush is classic in every way – symmetrical, medium-sized, with evenly spaced bristles and a tapered end.  Keeping it simple, as women have since Ancient Egypt.
  2. The color:  Colored mascaras belong on the runway and at costume parties.  Once again, keep it simple.  The Sothys mascara in noir is black, but a soft black appropriate for any lash shade, skin tone, or hair color.  Perfect for anyone, from those who wish to tint their blonde lashes to women with a penchant for dark, smokey eye makeup.
  3. The formula itself:  The formula is the most subtly complicated element of a mascara.  It is always better to opt for natural ingredients to put on your body, rather than harsh chemicals.  As with food, in beauty products it is important to look for ingredients that you recognize and can actually pronounce.  Sothys uses beeswax to naturally create a creamy texture, minimizing both chemical involvement and visible imperfections.  This is the benefit of makeup made by a skincare line – it is formulated to focus on benefiting the body, rather than simply looking pretty.

Whether or not you now feel enlightened in the realm of mascara, keep one thing in mind above all else: always buy beauty products that do something to benefit your face and body.  Even the creamiest of foundations can just sit on top of your skin and collect bacteria; even the most silky and lustrous of mascaras can make your actual lashes dry and brittle.  Opting for a beneficial product will be satisfying in the long run, and Sothys has found just the right combination of wholesome ingredients and effective makeup in this volumizing mascara.

And if all this still isn’t convincing, Sothys mascara was featured in Vogue Paris.  Très chic!
