Glow with beauty all summer long
Before the weather heats up and we take our first dip in the pool, discover Sisley's expert guide to achieving beautiful, natural looking golden skin.
Summer is a time to regain colour, rebalance your body through physical activity and a light diet, and soothe your mind with wondrous moments spent in the open air. To feel good about yourself, take a look at our summer routine that will help you boost your well-being this season.
As summer approaches
The days are getting longer and clothes are getting lighter. If you want to feel good about yourself, it's also time to eat lighter meals and lead a healthier lifestyle: out with the rich food and sugary drinks that comfort us in winter, in with the food that helps our skin and our figures to look lovelier. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are sources of vitamins and nutrients your body needs to function correctly. Tuck in to cucumber, tomatoes, courgettes, grilled aubergines, strawberries, raspberries, apricots... You can vary the flavours and enjoy your meal by combining different cooking methods and textures. Fresh herbs are also very good for your health.
When it comes to drinks, replace fizzy drinks and coffee with 1.5 litres of water each day, infusions, and citrus-flavoured waters...
Because the beauty of your skin is also affected by the state of your mental health, include relaxing breaks in your day, such as breathing exercises, reading, yoga, running or meditation. Lastly, try to limit your screen time, particularly around bedtime.
How to exfoliate your skin?
With summer not far away and your first exposure to the sun, make sure your skin is ready. Your tan will last longer and uniform if your skin is exfoliated. It's also a crucial step before applying self-tanning products. Once the dead skin cells have been removed, your skin will be smoother to ensure an even result.
Once a week, add a body scrub to your beauty routine. When you're taking your shower, massage your skin with a small amount of "Energising Foaming Exfoliant for the Body" paying particular attention to rough areas (elbows, knees, heels). The exfoliating microparticles and light foam with an energising refreshing scent, leave the skin supple, soft, smooth and toned.
How to apply self-tanning products?
After exfoliating, apply Self Tanning Hydrating Body Skin Care to dry skin. Its formula combines two actions: It rapidly gives the skin a natural tanned look combined with intense hydration.
For best results: Apply the self-tan in a fine, even coat using the velvet glove with small circular movements until fully absorbed on the skin. Repeat the application every two or three days to adjust the intensity of your tan.
A shapely figure, super skin
Le Sculpteur, for example, helps to sculpt the curves of your silhouette. This double-action, day and night emulsion adapts to the body's biorhythms to act on curves and enhance the skin. During the day, the active ingredients help reduce excess volumes: thighs are slimmer, skin is firmer, as if toned.
By night, the formula works on the appearance of cellulite. With each application, the 'orange peel' effect is reduced and skin is smoother.
To improve the skin, apply the Black Rose Beautifying Emulsion with an ultra-sensorial melting texture over the entire body to restore the natural radiance and softness of younger skin. Its dual ultra-moisturising and enhancing action envelops the skin in a beautifying veil. The body is cloaked in a satin finish, the skin is more supple and regains its natural radiance. The added advantage? Its non-greasy texture with an addictive fragrance is immediately absorbed and allows you to get dressed immediately after application.
