Every time I spend a Summer in the French Riviera, I always sigh in admiration and pure envy at those sun-kissed, freshly-scrubbed-faced, impossibly chic women that walk down the cobbled streets of St Tropez. They seriously look as though they’ve been airbrushed to within an inch of their lives….how do they do it??? Well, in my opinion, it’s down to an intrinsic connection with their environment, namely the earth and sea (or “terre and mer” en Français)….and that’s where Thalgo steps in.
Put simply, Thalgo is the Birkin of French organic skin care (we’re talking ECO-CERT authorised here – even the packaging is more than 99% natural and made from either recyclable, plant-based or sustainably-managed products) .Made with purity and time-honoured formulas using 100% pure ingredients and deriving products from the soil and sea (“terre & mer”) it really does explain why some Euro women posses that certain “je ne sais quois”.
Upon opening the jar of Vital Balm with Organic Olive Oil, the super-clean, pine-forest aroma was sublime and I was immediately struck with the concentrated nutrition of this salve balm with its active nourishing and softening ingredients. Olive and Sweet Almond vegetable oils reinforce the moisturising action of the Roman Chamomile essential oil and Shea Butter.
The Anti-Ageing Concentrate was my ideal, no-fuss day and night care regime, It can also be used as part of an intensive anti-ageing time-defying treatment course by applying five drops to the face for five weeks….where do I sign up???? Together with Immortelle, Roman Chamomile and Rose essential oils, this is the Myrrh of anti-ageing oil.
Lately – be it hormonal, age, an imbalance between the ratio of cocktails to water (oops!) my skin has gone banana-monkey dry and I mean industrial crocodile flaking. So every night I “super-activated” a small amount of the Vital Balm with Organic Olive Oil together with two drops of the Anti-Ageing Concentrate with Organic Immortelle and smoothed it into my face and neck. Combined, they “shazaamed” into the super-hero of skin care lacking in lipids and my skin was perfectly restored….so nourished, softened and moisturised that at a recent girls’ dinner, serious bets were made as to why I was absolutely “glowing”(clearly the five Lychee Martinis hadn’t deleted the obvious!)
