In the bathroom of facialist Marie Peloille

“I believe my role is precisely to offer a very practical perspective on skincare. For years—and even more so since becoming a facialist—I’ve been in direct contact with people’s skin, the real needs of women and men, their habits, and their frustrations. This allows me to provide brands with a more accurate approach—and, above all, one that’s less dictated by trends.  In my view, the value of a cosmetic product no longer lies solely in its ingredients, but in the experience, the rituals, and the expertise that the brand is able to build around it. That is precisely where the skincare regimen comes into its own.”

“Right now, my essentials are:

For the body, the Goop Beauty Microderm Instant Glow Body Polish by Goop Beauty—it leaves my skin so soft after application! And I follow up with a moisturizing oil infused with almond oil, which smells divine and deeply hydrates my skin.

For my face, I've been using a lot of Dive In Multi Pad Toning and Soothing Pads to either moisturize or clarify my skin. The Apoticari eye cream is perfect for this season because it’s light and minty; it gives me that refreshing feeling around my eyes—I love it!

 The last essential is, of course, sunscreen. I switch between the onesfrom Oh My Cream Skincare and PERS. By the way, here’s a quick tip: avoid putting perfume on your skin at all costs during this time, because UV rays and alcohol make a very bad combination and can cause dark spots!”

“My must-haves are: double cleansing with theOh My Cream Skincareand a cleanser (either a milk in the winter, or a gel or foam in the summer). I wouldn’t skip this essential step for anything in the world—it makes a real difference in the quality of your skin.”

ThePai Skincare Regenerate Organic Oil by Pai Skincare—I love the dewy finish it gives my skin! It’s easy to incorporate into my routine, either mixed into my moisturizer in the morning or used at night, either on its own or layered over my night cream. I also sometimes dab a little on my cheekbones after applying makeup to add a touch of radiance.

 Finally, ever since I had the opportunity to serve on the jury for Madame Figaro, I’ve discovered the My Blend Lip Expert Pro Collagen by My Blend. I’m a huge fan: it instantly plumps my lips while keeping them well-hydrated all day long. I can’t live without it!”

“I designed my skincare protocol as a completely customized approach, based on observing and listening to (analyzing) the face. Every face has its own story, its own tensions, needs, and imbalances. My job is to analyze them carefully in order to create a treatment that is perfectly tailored to the person sitting in front of me.”

My method combines various facial, lifting, and drainage techniques to improve skin quality, enhance facial contours, and promote overall well-being. After a thorough assessment, I select the most appropriate products and techniques and tailor them to your current needs: relieving muscle tension, stimulating circulation, promoting lymphatic drainage, restoring radiance to the complexion, or sculpting facial contours.

I also enjoy combining manual techniques with beauty tools such as lymphatic brushes, mushrooms, and gua sha, which help enhance certain effects of the treatment and target specific areas more precisely. This combination of techniques creates a dynamic and deeply personalized treatment plan.

And I always end my treatments with a consultation during which I provide a personalized “beauty regimen”; the idea is that every client leaves with tailored advice.

"My goal is to offer a genuine opportunity to reconnect with yourself!"

 “Ouch, I have two!”

The Dermalogica Multi-Vitamin Power Recovery by Dermalogica (which, by the way, is Victoria Beckham’s “first-aid kit in a tube”), or the Black Rose mask by Sisley, which is a real gem for radiance.”

“I envision a more thoughtful future for skincare. For a long time, we’ve been caught up in a mindset of ‘more is better’: more active ingredients, more steps, more products. I believe, on the contrary, that we’re going to return to routines that are more targeted, more personalized, and above all, more adaptable.”

Today, we know that skin is never static. It changes with the seasons, age, lifestyle, stress, and hormonal shifts. The skincare of tomorrow will need to be able to adapt to these changes rather than impose a single routine to follow all year round.

I also believe that personalized support will become increasingly important. Consumers are looking for solutions tailored to their skin, as well as advice on how to better understand it.” 

“Protect your skin from the sun every day, even when it’s cloudy! After taking a training course with the Esthederm brand, I learned that UV rays are responsible for 80% of premature skin aging, so prevention is better than cure. And that’s the advice I’d like to share. I’m making sure my loved ones know to apply sunscreen at least from March through October. UV rays are largely responsible for premature skin aging. Beyond signs of aging and dark spots, there’s a real risk of developing skin diseases.”
