Tips

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!

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 Hydration Gift Box combines Sothys’ Hydradvance Comfort Cream and Serum incorporate intensive hydration into a long-lasting formula that’s designed to provide “incomparable moisturizing power with immediate and long lasting results”; read more about the hydrating formulas here!

The Secrets Prestige Gift Box includes Sothys’ most highly recommended anti-aging formula  and a complimentary Secrets Global Serum ($138 value).  Both of these products work together to mitigate the drying and stressing effects of peri- and post-menopause on the skin, specifically the inflammation that results from hot flashes, by de-stressing and fighting free radical activity with  super-anti-oxidant prickly pear extract. Feeling is believing. Pamper yourself or a loved one this season; read more about this duo here!

~ Spend over $100 on our selection of Colorescience products, and receive a complimentary lip or eye product of your choice.  Colorescience offers an all-natural selection of mineral makeup, including foundations, primers, lip and eye makeup, that are gentle on the skin, blend flawlessly, and don’t clog or damage your pores.  Check out this post for more reasons why you’ll love Colorescience, and this postto read about the perfect way to stay beautiful and protected with Colorescience’s Sunforgettable Starter Kit!

~ Purchase a $250 Gift Certificate for $200, and receive a Complimentary full-size Sothys Iris and Litchi Escape Body Lotion AND get entered into our Day of Beauty Raffle! One winner will be selected for our Day of Beauty Raffle, which includes a Classic Sothys facial, massage, Colorescience Pro Mineral Makeup application, and lunch on our lovely patio overlooking the creek. C’est formidable!

~ Purchase a $150 Gift Certificate for $100, and receive a one-month trial supply of Sothys’ new Energizing Day and Night Facial Creams, designed to compliment our Energizing Facial and keep your skin looking rested, supple and youthfully smooth; read more about it here!

This Holiday season, A French Touch is here to help you share the gift of beauty with your loved ones, and to remind you to take a moment to focus on your own beauty, too!  If you need to stop by for an hour of much-needed “me time” during this busy season, call or schedule an appointment online!  Don’t forget that you can purchase your gift items online with us, as well, to save yourself some time to spend with family and friends.  Alors,  à bientôt, and happy shopping!

Bisous,

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

I wanted to share some sneak peaks of our Petite Soirée yesterday evening!  We are so glad that so many of you were able to attend, and wanted to share some fun moments!

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!

Bon week-end, Mes Amis!

Bisous,

Don’t forget to stop by today to take advantage of our event-only specials! In addition to education about the NEW treatments and products straight from the source – Sothys Director of Education Caroline Rushworth – we’re offering packages, gifts and raffle prizes! Check out your options and come in to learn how we can give your skin new life and energy!

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Welcome in the Holiday season with A French Touch at our Petite Soirée with Jan Marini Skin Research’s all new Sugar Cookie and Pumpkin Spice Holiday Scented Exfoliators!  

These adorable, festive, limited-time Jan Marini products work to immediately refine skin texture and follicle size with Glycolic Acid, Proteolytic Enzymes, and Antioxidants, leaving skin with a radiant, polished glow.  The unique spherical beads are gentle of skin and reduce excessive abrasion commonly associated with exfoliating scrubs, polishing away loose or dead skin cells and removing debris that make the skin look dull to create a perfect, smooth canvas for make-up application on all skin types.  The benefits of exfoliation are great (click here to read all about them!), and the combination of gentle Mechanical Exfoliation, Enzymatic Exfoliation, and Hydroxy Acid Exfoliation intensifies the youthful, healthy glow of healthy and refreshed skin, partially by removing the dull top layer of skin cells that accumulates over time, and partially by enabling your other skin care products to penetrate and treat your skin more deeply through revitalized skin cells.  

This Holiday season, which we’ll be kicking off this Thursday with our colleague from Sothys, Caroline Rushmore, we’ll be offering the Sugar Cookie and Pumpkin Spice Holiday Exfoliators together at a buy-one-get-one-half-off price, getting you TWO festive, love-your-skin gifts for only $120 (you save $40, love those BOGO specials!).  The Holiday Exfoliators are just what you need for that little refreshing “me moment” that keeps us all going during the craziness of the Holidays, and make for the perfect stocking stuffer, too!

Be sure you stop by to sample both delicious scents, either when you join us for our Petite Soirée on Thursday (from 2 to 6pm, hors d’oeuvres, champagne, and raffle give-aways included!), or at your next appointment, which you can schedule online.  Either way, stay tuned for more fabulous Holiday specials all season long!

Bisous,

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Our Petite Soirée with Sothys Director of Education Caroline Rushmore is only a few days away, so be sure to mark your calendars for the afternoon of Thursday, the 21st!

Our fun afternoon will begin at 2pm with the first of Caroline’s talks, where she will go into depth about the new Energizing Treatment, do a demonstration and explanation of the Eye Contour Treatment, and offer a Question and Answer session to share her knowledge from over twenty years of expertise in skin care.  Caroline is responsible for the development of and education about Sothys’ latest treatments, facials, and products, and has a wealth of information to share about the best ways to keep your skin refreshed, youthful, and healthy.  Her second talk will take place around 4pm, if you can’t make it to the earlier talk or would rather come later in the day, but we encourage you to stop by at any time you can between 2 and 6 for a bit of relaxation, fun, and beauty talk! And don’t forget we will be holding a raffle (receive two  raffle tickets if you bring a friend), and you’ll receive a gift for attending. As always. special Event Only promotions on the new treatments will also be offered.

To further celebrate Sothys, their long history of luxurious skin care products and treatments, and the exciting new treatments (Energizing Treatment and Eye Contour Treatment) that will be available immediately after our Open House, we will be handing out samples of all of your Sothys favorites, and the new home care products associated with our new treatments.  This is the perfect opportunity to not only try out those products that you’ve been wondering about, but get the expert advice and product knowledge of Caroline and Patricia!

We will also be giving complimentary Sothys Cherry Blossom hand treatments to our attendees, with a gentle exfoliation, relaxing hand massage, and soothing, aromatic cream with Shea Butter to leave your skin feeling silken.  And, as always, you can count on a few raffle give-aways, wine, hors d’oeuvres, music, perhaps a few gift ideas for the Holidays, and a wonderful time!  We are holding this soirée open house style, so no need to worry about appointments or tickets, just grab your purse, perhaps a few friends, and come for a bit of quality ‘me’ time!

See you there, mes amis!

Bisous,

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

I know many of you have heard about the little party we’re planning for next Thursday with Sothys representative Caroline Rushmore to kick of the Holiday Season!

Caroline has just recently been appointed as Sothys’ Director of Education (a huge accomplishment, nous vous en félicitons!), and has over twenty years of experience in the professional skin care industry.  She is CIDESCO certified (stands for Comité International d’Esthétique et de Cosmétologie), the World’s most prestigious qualification in the field of skin care and beauty therapy, and received extensive training in both England and France.  She has held positions as the Director of Education for several other prestigious French skin care brands, and continues to share her passion and professional knowledge of skincare.

As the Director of Education for Sothys, Caroline is responsible for developing and implementing the education strategies for the USA, Latin America and the Caribbean, and helps to develop training tools and protocols for all product usage and professional treatments, and create all materials for Sothys training events and programs.  

And she will be here to share her knowledge with us about Sothys’ brand new treatments, the Energizing Treatment and the Eye Contour Treatment, as well as the fabulous home care products that accompany both!  These gentle-yet-effective anti-aging treatments go hand in hand perfectly, both working to smooth the wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen in the skin and around the eyes, while fortifying, energizing, and strengthening the cells to retain firmness and moisture.  All of this makes for a youthful, healthy glow for the Holiday Season, and who better to tell you all about it than Sothys’ Director of Education herself!

So be sure to stop by and hear what Caroline has to share with us, and enjoy some wine, hors d’oeuvres, a complimentary relaxing Sothys hand treatment, a demonstration of the Eye Contour Treatment, a Q&A session with Caroline about the new treatments and everything Sothys, and a fun time entre des amis!  The event will be open house style, so no tickets or appointments are necessary; just stop by for Caroline’s talk and demo at 2pm or 4pm on Thursday the 21st, and enjoy an afternoon celebrating beauty with us!
