3. Apply everything — including your make-up — with your fingers
“I always use my fingers to apply make-up,” says Bonjout. “Massage is therapeutic for boosting our confidence and reducing stress and anxiety,” she explains, adding that it creates a window for “less worry, better sleep, and glowing skin.” She chose her innovative waterless texture for Le Balm so that it could be warmed between fingers and massaged into skin for “immediate soothing and regeneration.” She points out that in France, people get facials at least once a month, often for their healing power of touch. “The most incredible facial I have ever tried for the skin is Joelle Ciocco in Paris. She’s the French facialist who invented the ‘buccal massage,’ working not only on the outside of the face but also on the inside through the oral cavity,” she says. “It looks very strange, but it’s worth it.” And for those stateside in the New York area, Bonjout’s friend Isabelle Bellis trained with Ciocco for a similar intraoral massage technique.
4. Embrace natural remedies
Bonjout emphasises that while science is always at the forefront in French pharmacy, natural remedies are respected for their organic healing abilities (like the potent plant cells in her Le Balm). She also recommends royal jelly, a nutrient-dense substance “produced by worker honeybees,” she says, adding, “it’s the only food for the queen bee.” It can be eaten or applied directly to skin as the “best immune system booster,” and it’s packed with antioxidants that fight inflammation and boost wound healing. She buys ArkoRoyal Organic Royal Jelly 2500 mg 20 vials in France, and mentions that Beehive Botanicals Fresh Royal Jelly, 100% Pure could be an equivalent swap. “It’s rich in carbs, protein, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals,” she says.
5. Reach for mineral sunscreen
While any sun protection is better than no protection, Bonjout strongly recommends using mineral sunscreen instead of chemical formulas whenever possible. “Chemical sunscreens can give you acne, burning, itching, and stinging of the skin,” she cautions. “The best sunscreens are 100% mineral filters, and these ones can be used every day.” According to Bonjout, French pharmacists swear by La-Roche-Posay Anthelios Mineral Tinted Sunscreen SPF 50, which is a 100% mineral option. And then, for a hybrid formula, there’s the beloved Elta MD UV Clear Tinted Broad-Spectrum SPF 46 formula that’s powered by part mineral (zinc oxide) and part chemical (octinoxate) ingredients.
6. Less is more
“Your skincare routine shouldn’t contain too many cosmetics from too many different brands,” says Bonjout, noting that multi-use skincare and a light hand is the French way. She uses Le Balm as the first and last step of her routine (noting that it can be layered after a light serum like the Caudalie Vinoperfect serum) and before applying make-up. “If I had to go to a desert island and you ask me to choose just one product, I’d say Le Balm,” she says of creating an 8-in-1 solution. “It’s a serum, moisturiser, nourishing cream, eye cream, night cream, overnight mask, ointment treatment, and lip care. I’ve been working on this formulation for five years to get the product that gives you the perfect radiant ‘je ne sais quoi.’” And who doesn’t want that?
