What should you bring in your beauty bag this summer? You mean sunscreen, sunscreen, and sunscreen. You’re right but keep scrolling to check out the essential things you can’t live without this summer.
In summer we can’t live without sunscreens and we’ll never stop in any other seasons so you’re always looking for a sunscreen for your skin. Our pick for this hot summer is the new PAYOT Sunny collection. We’re really addicted to a carefully selected set of UVA & UVB filters to protect and preserve our skin as much as possible, while still ensuring optimal tolerance.
Don’t miss Payot Sunny Crème Savoureuse SPF 50 - Face Sun Care and Payot Sunny Crème Divine SPF 50 – Face and Body which offer your face and body intense sun protection and shield your skin from photo ageing. You will love its invisible, non-greasy texture that makes application easy and pleasant.
Our favourites also include URIAGE BARIÉSUN Fragrance-free Kid Milk SPF50+ Very High Protection and PAYOT Sun Sensi Brume Protectrice - Anti-Aging Protective Mist SPF50 that you can spray over your makeup. Both offer great SPF protection and can easily be reapplied throughout the sunny day!
Did you know that your skin is always overheated and dried out after a full day in the sun? So don’t forget to give it a dose of moisture. It will help you sunburned relief if necessities. Our customers recently reach for the Uriage Bariesun Refreshing Mist After Sun! It’s made with Uriage Thermal Water, Aquaspongines, Glycyrrhetinate and stabilised Vitamin C and Vitamin E, which are all intensely moisturised, soothing and hydrating for overheated skin. You can spray generously then spread evenly over skin and repeat as often as necessary.
Other after sun soothers we love are Payot Sunny Refreshing Gelée Coco – After-Sun and PAYOT Baume Réparateur After Sun Repair Balm.
TIPS TO USE: Keep them in the fridge before using for extra cooling goodness.
Don’t be shy if you have a deodorant in your beach bag. Keeping some deodorants in your bag ensures that you won’t smell by the end of the day, and you’ll have a feeling of freshness.
We are loving this Modern Botany Deodorant which is 100% Irish made and a multi-functional natural deodorant, body mist, and scent. The formula combines powerful key ingredients that form a synergy to deliver reduced perspiration and a fresh gender-neutral scent. This unisex natural deodorant can be spritzed under the arms or used as a body mist and scent. Genius!
As we mentioned before, your skin will probably be dry after a day out under the sun, so a little hand lotion is a must. Use it to soothe and bring comfort to dry and weakened hands.
Some hand lotions the CO team recommends are URIAGE Eau Thermale Hydrating Water Hand Cream and Payot Paris Duo Mains Le Corps: Gentleness of the Hands Kit. Try them all!
The girls on Cosmetics Online IE always have a face mist in their bag, and we’re currently obsessed with Novexpert Smoothing Toning Mist with Hyaluronic Acid because of the double anti-pollution effect – heavy metal protection and stimulation of cell oxygenation.

There are several professional skin treatments to remove age spots. These medical procedures show quick results, but come with a price. We are not only talking about the financial cost, but also the potential side effects of such invasive treatments. For example, laser therapy literally destroys cells producing melanin, chemical peels dissolve the outer layer of the skin and cryotherapy freezes your age spots with liquid nitrogen. As, you can tell, we are not big fans of medical treatments, but there is one non invasive skin treatment that is worth your attention. Microdermabrasion consists in removing sun spots using air pressure. It has no side effects and it’s comparatively cheap with respect to the other procedures.
Prevention is the best way to treat age spots. Always protect the most exposed areas of your skin from the sun with a hat and high protection sunscreen. However, once they have popped out, you can still correct them with some cutting-edge dermocosmetics available online without the need of a doctor’s prescription. What you should really look out for is that the products you buy contain these beneficial anti dark spots active ingredients:
We can’t help you with your four-legged companion, but we do have some great ideas for the other members of your family.

]]>Having complex biochemical interaction with the human body, essential oils can trigger different reactions in your hormones and enzymes, like, for instance, slowing down your skin’s ageing process.
Just to be clear, do not expect a miraculous rejuvenating effect overnight. Essential oils are not magical potions that will make you look like Angelina Jolie in a week’s time. They don’t make your wrinkles disappear or plump your lips like hot-air balloons, but, on the other hand, they effectively help to boost collagen, promote skin cell renewal, even out skin tone and reduce inflammation. In other words, essential oils are a preventive treatment rather than a curative one.
With that said, let’s have a look at this list of essential oils with anti-ageing benefits.
Rosemary is widely used in anti-ageing cosmetics for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. You can find it as the main active ingredient in best selling products like Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Soothing Clay Mask or Alpha-H Multi Perfecting Skin Tint because it has the incredible capacity of stopping free radicals from breaking down the skin's elasticity.
Everybody recognizes the importance of vitamin C to prevent colds and strengthen the immune system, but most people are unaware of its importance in reducing the signs of ageing. All citrus essential oils reduce the damage of skin oxidation, lighten dark spots and moderate the production of sebum. Being such a powerful active ingredient, lemon oil is found in cutting-edge dermocosmetics such as Alpha-H Age Delay Hand & Cuticle Care Cream and Decleor Aromessence Lavandula Iris Firming Facial Oil Serum.
Rose oil should actually be called rosehip oil because it’s extracted from the flower’s seeds, which are rich in essential fatty acids, like linoleic, and vitamin C. It is an optimal skin rejuvenator, packed in anti-ageing goodness, which boosts collagen production and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Where can you find this youth elixir? The best cosmetics containing rosehip oil are Alpha-H Essential Hydration Concentrate and Alpha-H Liquid Gold Rose Luxe Collection.
Widely used in aromatherapy for relaxation and anti-stress treatment, lavender is also a great antioxidant and free-radicals fighter. A study revealed that, just as it diminish oxidative stress in the brain, so it does to your skin, besides acting as a moisturiser and increasing blood flow. It’s no surprise, thus, that a top skincare brand such Décleor uses Lavender oil in its anti-ageing creams and serums, such as Décleor Prolagene Lift and Firm Rich Day Cream Moisturizer and Décleor Aromessence Marjolaine Oil Serum.
Jojoba oil is a golden liquid wax extracted from the jojoba bean, a plant native of North America. You might have never heard of it, but, it’s possibly one of the richest oils in terms of nutrients and beneficial properties. Containing vitamin E, vitamin B complex, silicon, chromium, copper and zinc, it doesn’t only decrease wrinkles appearance, but also regulates the production of sebum while deeply hydrating your skin. Phyto as a whole line called Phytojoba dedicated to this extraordinary active ingredient, while Delarom has a fantastic anti-ageing cream called Delight Rich Moisturizing Cream.
With Frankincense oil you can say goodbye to sunspots and age spots. An aromatic resin obtained by slashing the bark of the Boswellia tree, Frankincense evens out the skin tone and helps getting rid of stretch marks. If you want to try Frankincense, AromaWorks created an outstanding Juniper & Frankincense Soulful Essential Oil and Payot an amazing soothing moisturizer, Creme N°2 Cachemire Anti-redness Soothing Care.
]]>So here is our step-by-step guide that will help you maximise the benefits of your favourite products. Enjoy!
It’s 7am, you have just woken up and you sway your way up to the bathroom. Your reflexion in the mirror would almost make you want to give up on any attempt of improving your appearance, but you hold on that tiny bit of hope and start your morning ritual.
Start removing any scrap of dirt with a splash of water and a cleanser suitable to your skin type. Use a gentle cleanser if you have dry skin to avoid stripping it of its natural moisture. Sebum and dirt accumulate also when you sleep, so make sure you don’t skip this part.
Follow restoring the skin’s PH with a toner that prepares your skin for the absorption of all the nutrients of the following products. Again, pay attention to your skin type: if you have an oily complexion, for instance, opt for a purifying toner.
Now, your skin is perfectly clean and ready to receive the most important nutrients. Pamper your skin with a highly concentrated formula of vitamic C, vitamic A, hyaluronic acid that deeply penetrates in your pores and benefit your complexion in every possible way. This is also the time to apply any specific treatment you might need, like acne, anti-ageing or dark spots solutions.
It’s time to hydrate your skin with a day moisturiser that reinforces and protects your skin from environmental damages and other factors. Deeply hydrating your skin is of utmost importance even if you have an oily complexion because sebum is not synonym for water.
SPF should be applied as the very last layer of your skincare outfit. Imagine it as a protective shield, if you apply it before the other cosmetics, it will act as a barrier and impede your skin a thorough absorption of the products that follow.
Another day has come to an end and you can’t wait to lie down in bed. But don’t forget your routine! Night time is perfect for treatments like retinol or AHA, which do not work at sunlight.
At night, you should cleanse your face twice: the first time with a cleansing oil to remove sebum, makeup and dirt, and the second time with a cleansing water to make sure that your skin is squeaky clean.
To free up pores and buff away dead cells, it’s recommended to use an exfoliator once or twice a week. Try to avoid chemical peels and scrub harder on areas with a high concentration of blackheads.
Don’t skip the toner! A skin routine without a toner is like a sacher cake without chocolate, it makes no sense. Tone your skin and prepare it for the steps to come.
Are you ready for a wave of antioxidants, ceramides, retinol, and hyaluronic acids? Pat the serum or treatment on you skin and give it a few minutes to absorb it. If you’re using more than one, always go from the thinnest to the thickest consistency. Moreover, always pay attention not to mix retinol and acne treatments or retinol and vitamin C serums!
Skin regenerates and repairs itself while you sleep. Support it with a good night cream that hydrates and facilitates the reconstruction process. Apply it also on other sensitive areas like your neck and decolleté.
Some people apply the eye cream before the moisturiser, some people after. Following the general rule from thinnest to thickest, you should be perfectly fine. What you should pay attention to is to apply the cream gently tapping with your fingers, as the skin around your eyes is particularly delicate.
]]>There are so many different surgical treatments available on the market today, but not all of us want to go ahead with these. Whether it’s the price of the treatment or the fear of needles and scalpels, some of us would prefer less intrusive solutions. Fortunately, there are products out there that offer us the benefits and results of surgical treatments without the need to go under the knife or needle!
Mesotherapy is a technique developed in 1952. Originally, its purpose was to ease pain, such as sports injuries and rheumatism, and improve blood circulation. Today, mesotherapy has greatly evolved and is currently used to treat many other problems, such as hair regrowth, rejuvenation of the skin, cellulite and weight loss. The process involves injecting a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and amino acids right under the skins surface. The treatment can also be applied using electric pulses.
Filorga was founded in 1978 by Michel Tordjman, a French doctor of aesthetic medicine with a fascination for cellular biology. He pioneered NCTF®, New Cellular Treatment Factor, a unique injectable solution that prevents, slows and corrects the effects of skin ageing.
This revitalising compound contains essential skin nutrients that work together to combat signs of ageing by boosting the skin's supporting fibers, resulting in optimised skin quality. The unique formula consists of vitamins, amino acids, co-enzymes, nucleic bases, minerals and anti-oxidants mimicking the mesotherapy technique. In each of their skin creams, NCTF is combined with Hyaluronic acid encapsulated in chronospheres. These microscopic vectors, developed by patented CNRS* research, ensure optimum impregnation through each level of the skin and disperse the active agents as widely as possible. The skin is nourished, revitalised and strengthened from within, looking radiant and as good as new.

Ideal before applying makeup for a special event.
Beauty tip: Use a serum first to optimise the effects of the mask]]>]]>
When we are young our skin works efficiently enough to process what’s on offer, getting plenty oxygen from the environment. However, as we age, our ability to utilize oxygen for normal metabolic processes begins to deteriorate. The key focus of an oxygen facial is to boost the circulation and stimulate cell turnover by enhancing the oxygen that is available to the skin. This results in leaving a hydrated, revitalized and plump complexion.
However get a monthly oxygen facial is not always the easiest solution. Leading French skincare brand LIERAC LABORATORIES have developed an exquisite skincare line that is inspired by the esthetic technique of tissue oxygenation. They developed a unique Hydra O2 Complex that combines oxygen-like minerals, hyaluronic acid, vernonia leaf, and a vitamin concentrate. The combined power of this hybridization (combining science and nature), results in the skin immediately and after 28 days becoming:
LIERAC Laboratories are raising the bar of moisturisation with three all-new steps to complete the HYDRAGENIST routine: a morning mist that smoothes the skin in the blink of an eye, a mask that replenishes water on the spot, and a moisturising and plumping lip balm. Use these three clever new products every day or put them to work when your skin needs it most...
Upon awakening, blood flow and body temperature are at their lowest. Oxygen and micro-nutrient intake is reduced. Suffering skin is already dehydrated by transepidermal water loss, which increases at night, and this is evident in a dull complexion and drawn features.
In addition to the Hydra O2 Complex, which reproduces the tissue oxygenation technique, this essence is formulated with Rhodiolia Rosea extract, from an arctic root that is exceptionally resistant to stress. Highly antioxidant, it is known to increase cellular respiration and boost energy production, even when the skin is subjected to harsh conditions.
All women who are dreaming of a moisturiser at the forefront of anti-aging care, especially women looking to smooth and plump their skin as soon as they wake up.
In the morning after cleansing, before your usual skincare routine. Massage in with your fingertips. Its texture enriched with a viscoelastic shape-memory polymer instantly adheres to the skin, hugging every contour.
Even when it is well cared for every day, skin subjected to periods of stress, extreme temperatures, or simply a bout of fatigue can become dehydrated. This mask provides a shot of moisturising and nourishing active ingredients to transform the skin on the spot, making it smooth, plump, and incredibly fresh.
In addition to the Hydra O2 Complex, which reproduces the tissue oxygenation technique, this mask is formulated with camellia oil to slow skin ageing and dehydration, as well as an oily extract of jasmine, with tannins and flavonoids that improve micro-circulation and cell metabolism.
All women who dream of a shot of moisture at the forefront of anti-aging care and who periodically need an intense infusion of water and nutrients.
Once or twice per week as maintenance, more often when skin appears to need it. Apply a thin layer, let sit for ten minutes, then wipe off excess. Or let the skin drink up while you sleep.
Because the thin skin of the lips has a lower moisture content than the rest of the face. And the lips are not protected by sebaceous sweat glands; they are absent here. Don’t forget: as with the rest of the skin, GAG synthesis drops as the years go by.
In addition to the Hydra O2 Complex, which reproduces the tissue oxygenation technique, this
balm is formulated with soothing and protective rose wax, as well as fatty acid-rich shea butter with its nourishing and reparative properties. 100% comfort.
All women who are dreaming of a lip moisturizer at the forefront of anti-aging care to keep their smiles plump even as the years go by.
Anytime. As soon as you go out, to protect the lips from pollution, UV rays, wind, and cold... Indoors to counteract the effects of heating and air conditioning. Or for an instant radiance touch-up, especially with the pink version!

Eczema often flares up when your skin gets too dry. External aggregations such as humidity, wind, cold temperatures or harsh soaps and washing without moisturising after can lead to dry skin. Therefore, it's important to ensure you moisturise to help control the symptoms of Eczema and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Bathing is an effective way to help soothe and calm the irritation, but you must ensure the temperature of the water is lukewarm and you use a gently cleanser such as Uriage XEMOSE Cleansing Soothing Oil and follow immediately after with a good topical emollient.
Topical emollients need to contain active ingredients to bring immediate and lasting relief to eczema, psoriasis or any atopy prone skin. Emollients are medical moisturisers that can be used several times a day. Emollients will help to restore your skin barrier, reduce the frequency of your Eczema flare ups, and will stop irritants and allergens which cause these flare ups.
Chronoxine is a new innovation in this field - it is an anti-inflammatory that has a soothing action that will bring immediate relief. Cerasterol -2F are Omega 3 and 6 Ceramides with Phytosterols to restructure and soothe the skin whilst providing long lasting relief. All of these ingredients are included in the Uriage XEMOSE range.
The Uriage Dermatological ranges are formulated with unique patented ingredient complexes developed for specific skin conditions. Uriage XEMOSE is a treatment for anyone who suffers from eczema or other skin irritations. XEMOSE is a line of new generation emollient care for extreme and long-lasting cutaneous comfort.
XEMOSE has an anti-inflammatory effect, a restructuring soothing effect so relieves irritation and the desire to itch. The range is also the ideal range to use on your skin as the effects of the XEMOSE range will last all day, providing a nourishing and soothing feeling for users!
Products from the XEMOSE range have a triple barrier action for long-lasting relief: Cerasterol-2F Technology restores and reinforces the skin barrier, the TLR2-Regul regulates the innate immune barrier and Uriage THERMAL WATER re-balances the microbial barrier.

Maintaining the richness of the colour after an appointment is also difficult. Over time Coloured, highlighted hair is weakened and vulnerable. THE HAIR BECOMES HYPERSENSITIVE and loses hydration, shine and the colour fades.
So how can we protect our investment, ensure those locks stay brilliant? Just like we look after the skin on our face with a ritual from cleansing, scrubbing, masks, serums and creams we should apply this ritual to our hair with the same energy and love.

Inside each product is a complex of botanical ingredients rich in antioxidant power that helps to preserve hair colour, restore strength and replenish moisture.
STEP 1 PRE-SHAMPOO TREATMENT
Pigments that wash out with each wash, colour that progressively fades... until now it was impossible to avoid colour stripping. The Phyto laboratories have now created a real breakthrough and invented pioneering care that makes colour fading a distant memory. For the first time ever, a product able to act around the hair fibre like a lock, mechanically trapping pigments within it. Washing has no effect on colour, which retains its full beauty.

Fortified with a unique Colour Locker Complex, the pre-shampoo serum contains Red Love Apple ®, a powerful antioxidant rich in natural pigments that seal pigmentation into the hair fibre and a Hibiscus Flower and Apple Blossom that create a protective veil around each strand, helping to combat stripping and preventing fade. As a result, tresses appear bold and vivid with brilliant shine.

Shampoo:
On wet hair, delicately massage in a small amount of product into the scalp, then spread over the lengths. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat the application, leaving it on for 2 minutes to amplify the care action
Cleansing Cream:
Intense care: Use the cream on dry hair. Apply a few drops, section by section, all over the scalp. Delicately massage then spread the cream over the lengths.

Express care: Warm a small amount of cream in the hands then spread over the wet lengths and ends of the hair. Massage the scalp, adding a dose of cream if necessary. Add water to spread the product more easily. Work into a lather and leave on for two to three minutes then rinse thoroughly.
STEP 3 RINSE -OUT CARE
With its voluptuous texture, this creamy mask is the ultimate conditioning gesture to repair the hair. The hair fibre is restored, colour lasts longer and left looking voluptuous, gorgeous, and shiny as ever. Argan butter, rich in fatty acids and protective vitamin E, nourishes and repairs the fibre intensely
Fine hair: On washed and towel-dried hair, apply a dab of product on the lengths and ends. Leave on for two to three minutes, comb out and rinse thoroughly.
Thick hair: On washed and towel-dried hair, apply two small dabs of product on the lengths and ends. Leave to penetrate for five to ten minutes, or even more if necessary. Comb out and rinse thoroughly.
STEP 4 LEAVE IN CARE
Facilitate styling and give the hair fibre a burst of extra strength, while protecting against daily aggressive factors - caused by the environment and successive styling - which alter colour intensity and radiance. Day after day, the hair retains its beauty and flamboyance. Like all Phyto care products, this precious concentrate has been finely tuned to combine effectiveness and sensory quality. The active allow easy styling and prevent static so hair does not frizz and has a radiant shine.
