The Wellness Address Book of Kenza Keller, founder of Talm

With her Talm brand, Kenza Keller takes care of the sensitive skin of all women, whether they are new mothers, breastfeeding or pregnant. After unveiling a sublime open letter in which she portrays a strong message dedicated to women, Kenza reveals her best addresses for taking care of herself in Paris. 

Can you introduce yourself and tell us about your brand?

My name is Kenza Keller, I live in Paris, I'm the mother of two little girls and I created talm, the skincare brand I dreamed of to accompany pregnant women and mothers at every stage of their lives. Our products are ultra-sensorial, innovative and safe, designed to be used from day 1 of pregnancy and during breastfeeding. They're like a love story: once you've met them, you (usually) don't want to leave! 

What do you love most about your job?

I love the creative part of my job: inventing, researching, imagining new products, new campaigns and new stories. What I also love is offering products to women at unforgettable moments in their lives, when they're thinking about becoming mothers, when they become mothers. It's a moving moment. 

What's your favorite place to go for a good body treatment?

I love going to Insaf Aoudi, which offers a fessialistic treatment treatment. Insaf is a great professional, caring and attentive, and I feel right at home with her. And then there's the Lancaster suite, a gentle bubble under the rooftops of Paris, where Talm recently set up shop to offer a prenatal massage to pamper expectant mothers.  

What inspires you most on a daily basis?

I'm very inspired by my friends, the women around me and my customers. Inspiration sometimes comes unexpectedly, from a reading, a song, an exhibition, sometimes even while running or cycling. I'm quite attuned to my intuitions and feelings, and this feeds a lot into my professional life!

What's your favorite Oh My Cream address? 

The flagship on rue de Saintonge, which I think is magnificent, with the added bonus of being able to have a massage in the treatment cabins available. My favorite products at Oh My Cream: obviously my products Talmproducts, but also Paint Eyes Violette_FR, the Limitless Lash Mascara Mascara and the Cleansing Balm Oh My Cream Skincare.

Who's the wellness expert you trust to get you back on your feet?

My mommy!

What's your best address for a facial? 

I'm a firm believer of the Kobido facial treatment at MO by Faucheur, with Othilie and Margot, two fairies of massage and facial care. The setting is sublime and the experience truly enjoyable. The complexion is fresh, the features are rested. A little rejuvenation!

Where do you go when you need to recharge your batteries?

In Granville, by the sea, to breathe the iodized air, get closer to nature and salted butter! 

What's your "reset" activity for feeling good?

Lie down with a good book, feel sleep coming on and fall asleep. I can't think of anything more effective for regeneration! 

What's the spot that soothes you and where you activate *do not disturb* mode?

The Dynamo Cycling studio with classes by my friend Karine André. I'm a big fan of her classes. A mix of letting go, time for oneself and joy!

And where do you like to go to get away for a day?

I recently discovered the Grand Pavillon in Chantilly: it's beautiful and soothing. A superb shot of nature and change of scenery, just 1 hour from Paris!

What do you imagine for the future of your brand?

New, innovative and desirable products (we've got a few surprises coming soon!) and new places to massage and care for our customers during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond!
