How would you describe your skin?

"I'm lucky enough to have rather nice skin on my face, not particularly fragile although very fine and dry. But it's not reactive or ultra-sensitive. Honestly, despite this very dry and thin skin, I'm lucky enough that it's quite simple and easy to live with, as long as I do what's right for it. You have to know that I adapt my routine a lot to the moment, the season and the amount of make-up I wear. In everyday life almost nothing, on a shoot or photoshoot, a lot more."

"As I move around a lot and can't walk around with all my products, I don't have the same routine on hand all the time. But as long as I have all my steps everything's fine."

What's your skincare routine like at the moment?

Her morning routine

"When I've slept really badly or when I need to feel more "plumped up" and "radiant" and in the morning it wasn't really that on the agenda, I have my "rescue" routine. I start with the Regenerating Cleansera daily exfoliating treatment that I apply to dry skin. I like to rinse with cold water to invigorate, wake up, put ideas in place and certainly tighten pores. I then apply a lotion, to "cancel out" the effects of tap water, which dries out my skin, and at the same time remove limescale residues. 

I then switch to the serum, 1 or 2, depending on the period. At the moment I apply the Rejuvenating Serum Sérum Rajeunissanta serum rich in active ingredients toplump, nourish and moisturize , as well as having anti-dark spot properties.

To finish, I apply my cream: the Crème Riche which I find very nourishing, especially when you have dry skin like me. It leaves a real glow on the skin, without being too greasy, leaving it feeling revitalized. Then a sun cream. And as a final touch, I love the Lip Crème Tinted Lip Balm in teint Blasé, colour which is closest to my lips' natural colour . It's a tinted but very nourishing lip care product."

Her evening routine

"My evening routine consists of a very meticulous cleansing, always with a product that rinses off with water. It can be an oil, a milk... anything that can be applied with a mechanical action. As I have dry skin, I always choose gentle solutions that leave my skin moisturized. It's not unusual for me to double cleanse, sometimes even with an oil to dissolve impurities. I can't go to bed with the idea of still having pollution on my skin. It's really one of the first things I learned a long time ago, and one I'm sticking to..."

But do you love Auntie Harper so much? 

I love Tata Harper for being 100% natural. And I like pioneers, I like to recognize people who have taken risks before others. I'm a very loyal person, so when I bring a product into my bathroom, it's very rare for it to leave. I consider that if it's there, it's there for a good reason. 

What's the Tata Harper treatment you can't live without? 

The product I love and apply daily is the Revitalizing Body Oil Huile Corps Revitalisante. It's true that we're often very focused on our faces, but we tend to forget to take care of our bodies. I find it harder to find truly effective body products, and I really like this one.

I also really like the Superkind Softening Cleanser. It has this milky texture, it's very gentle and leaves my skin really revitalized when I rinse it off. 

Can you tell us about your vision of better-aging?

"From my point of view, aging better means living better, which isn't always easy and requires awareness. The good thing is that as we age, we're more in tune with ourselves. You know yourself better, you've learned a lot and you're more experienced. As for the "better" side, I think you have to try to slow down the aging process by maintaining the machine, taking care of yourself, exercising and listening to yourself. It's not just a question of outward appearance, but also of metabolism, organs and proper internal functioning. And it's also in the mind, taking on projects, having challenges, etc. Everything goes together, of course. "

I see old age a bit like a slope that you have to descend as gently as possible... With a smile."

Do you have a beauty tip to share?

"I'd say my beauty tip is to apply a more generous amount of cream to the face. As we have more material, it forces us in a way to massage our face with our hands. There's the relaxing effect in the moment, but also the whole internal effect that wakes up the muscles, helps oxygenation, blood circulation, drainage... It's also applying cold water to my face every morning. I find it really helps to wake us up and get the blood flowing again. It's a great way to start your routine."
