Eye Contour Treatment by Sothys

November 13, 2013 By patkaspian

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

The eyes, as they say, are the windows to the soul, and one of the first things that people look at when talking with you.  The eyes are also where a majority of our emotions are displayed, which contributes to the formation of wrinkles and expression lines around and under our eyes, like crows feet and furrows over and between our eyebrows.  

aectSothys’ Eye Contour Treatment has been developed to treat the formation or visible signs of these wrinkles (or the beginnings thereof), which makes it the perfect anti-aging treatment for everyone (read: a gift for yourself, or a loved one with the holidays around the corner!)

Sothys has designed this refreshing, anti-aging treatment to sooth and reduce the puffy, dark circles under the eyes that emphasize age, while smoothing and firming the fine lines around the eyes.  The treatment begins with a gentle exfoliation (the removal of dead skin cells and debris from the surface of the skin and from within the pores) with a non-irritating Jasmine extract and rice powder application around the eyes.  Next, an age-defying serum with vitamins C and E (powerful anti-free radicals and work to stimulate collagen production) is massaged into the skin, to help it protect and regenerate itself, while moisturizing and diminishing wrinkles.  A relaxing modelling cream with shea and macadamia oils (helps skin to retain moisture and protect cells against aging) follows this, applied with cooled porcelain spoons around the eyes to further moisturize, soften, nourish, repair, and reduce puffy, dark circles.  A Tensor mask is applied next, to firm and fortify the structure of the skin, followed by an application of the Multi-Action Contour Eye Contour Cream to continue smoothing fine lines (after you’ve floated out of the salon, of course!).

eye prodsThis relaxing in-salon treatment should be supported by adding one or two of Sothys’ luxurious home care products, in order to maintain refreshed, youthful eyes.  The secret ingredient in all three Eye Contour care supplements contain High-Protection Eye Complex, which helps the skin to protect and regenerate itself to preserve the eye contour from the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.

  • Multi-Action Eye Contour Cream combines the High-Protection Eye Complex with Alfalfa Extract (fortifies and protects collagen fibers, diminishes wrinkles), and other natural ingredients that fight under-eye bags and circles.
  • Anti-Puffiness Energizing Roll-On uses the High-Protection Eye Complex in conjunction with Lupine Seed Extract, which improves micro-circulation to prevent the slackening of lower eyelids.
  • Dark Circle Eraser employs the High-Protection Eye Complex with mineral pigments and vitamins that at once conceal dark circles, and reduces their appearance over time by improving circulation.

eyesSmooth, even-toned skin around the eyes is one of the easiest ways to melt the years off of your skin; the youthful glow inspired by your established home care routine is only intensified and complimented by bright, youthful-looking eyes!  The French tradition shows us that taking time to pamper oneself and putting effort and care into the preservation of healthy skin is, first of all, not a chore, but a pleasure!  Sothys’ smooth, luxurious, but effective products don’t make that one hard to believe!  We want to create an at-home skin care regimen that gives you an opportunity to find joy in making yourself look and feel better, by creating a “just for me” moment in which you can relax and focus on you and bringing forth your inner beauty.  To see firsthand how Sothys can help you channel this inner beauty, please join us for our Petite Soirée on November 21st with Sothys representative Caroline Rushmore (more on her later this week!) for demonstrations, samples, champagne, and a lovely time!  Don’t forget that you can always book an appointment or make a purchase online, if you aren’t able to come visit us in the salon.  We hope that you remember to care for yourself as the Holiday season picks up speed, and embrace your skin care as a “petit moment pour moi”!

Bisous,

Emily Katz: Make-Up for the Stars!

September 17, 2013 By patkaspian

Bonjour, Mes Amis!

Emily Katz HeadshotWe have a very exciting event coming up for you next week, mes amis!  One of Elle’s Beauty Genius MakeUp Artists Emily Katz is coming to A French Touch Salon this Monday, the 23rd, to discuss how to maintain a beautiful you with skin care and make-up tips adored by Hollywood’s most glamorous.  

Over the past 20 years, Emily has become the biggest and best in makeup and skin care by working with the stars of Lost, Big Fish, Nine Lives of Chloe King, 24, and Anger Management.  She also provides skin care consultations and classic makeup styles for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, always emphasizing healthy skin and a natural look.

Her simple message, “Stand in your Beauty”, describes a natural and healthy sense of beauty and self that we strive to impart at A French Touch; she describes it perfectly, saying “I strive to bring out the beauty that is in each of us, without creating a mask so that a woman feels like she’s expressing her inner beauty as well.

Even a full-on glamour makeup still allows a woman to feel gorgeous and be herself when she knows that sometimes less is more! I love skin, and prefer to let it show through a makeup without looking cake-y or dull.

Beautiful skin…or the impression of it, without heavy looking coverage is what I always strive for. I find it important that we feel beautiful inside and out, and want to support women in doing just that.”

You hit the mark, Emily, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!  Please go to her website for a fuller appreciation of Emily’s talents and philosophy at http://www.ektruth.com/.

So, be sure to join us at either 11:00 a.m. or 5:30 p.m. for one of Emily’s talks and demonstrations, as she shares her favorite skin care products (she loves Jan Marini, too!), and some age-defying makeup tips that keep your skin looking young, fresh, and naturally beautiful.  She’ll also be offering discounted private consultations, to help you capture the glamour and youthful beauty of the stars for yourself and make it reflect the true, beautiful you.  Call us or email us if you’d like to reserve a seat for you and the special women in your life (and really, what better way to spice up your Monday!).

I’ll see you there, mes amis!

Bisous,
