Tell us all about yourself

"I'm Mélanie Huynh, founder of Holidermie.

Coming from the world of fashion and styling, I have long explored aesthetics in all their forms. With a degree in fashion, I was fortunate enough to spend almost ten years training with the fashion and beauty editorial team at Vogue France - a real school of high standards and sensitivity.

But very quickly, I felt the need to go beyond image, to understand what really influences our appearance: stress, diet, lifestyle, emotions...

Holidermie was born of this quest: a brand designed to care not only for the skin, but also for the whole person. Holistic, sustainable beauty, deeply aligned with our lifestyle."

What did you want to achieve when you created Holidermie?

"Very early on in my career as a stylist, I was fascinated by the top models of the 90s: powerful, avant-garde women who were already embodying a wellness mindset long before its time. Nourished by my travels, my exchanges with international experts and my multicultural roots, I wanted to create a brand that was like me: holistic, committed and sensitive.

There was a turning point. After years in fashion, I felt the need to explore a more intimate beauty, more aligned with my values. I turned to practices such as yoga, meditation, nutrition, energy treatments... and looked for a brand that would bring all this together. I couldn't find one. So I created one.

Holidermie was born in 2019, following a founding meeting with Dr Jérôme Paris at Château Toulouse-Lautrec. Together, we imagined a clean, effective Inside & Out skincare line, made in France, capable of fighting the oxidative stress inherent in our modern lives. It's a global answer to a simple question: how can we make beauty a vector for lasting balance?"

Has holistic beauty always been a matter of course?

"The holistic approach is not a trend. It's a founding philosophy. It sees beauty as the reflection of an overall balance between body, mind and emotions. In concrete terms, this means combining high-performance treatments, targeted food supplements and rituals inspired by alternative medicine - self-massage, breathing, meditation, vibratory treatments...

Holistic beauty is beauty that goes beyond the surface. It's about reconnecting the outside with the inside, aesthetics with meaning, skin with emotion. I've drawn on Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, facial yoga... everything that places the human being at the heart of skincare. For me, taking care of yourself is not a box to tick. It's an art of living.

Why was it essential to think of beauty as a whole with Holidermie?

"Because you can't compartmentalize things. The skin reflects our emotions, our lifestyle, our inner state. Holidermie is based on three pillars: high-performance cosmetics, targeted dietary supplements and beauty tools such as gua sha, facial yoga and self-massage.

We also developed in-cabin treatments, energy massages, vibratory protocols... to offer a complete, sensory and profoundly transformative experience. My ambition was simple: to enable everyone to create their own holistic routine, according to their needs, rhythm and energy."

What are your bathroom essentials?

"My essential: our Absolute Hydration Seruman exclusive moisturizing shield. I apply it morning and night, penetrating with our Rose Quartz Gua Sha. I also love our Antioxidant Day Creamas well as our tongue scraper and mouthwash, two essentials in my morning routine. For me, the bathroom is a sanctuary. Every gesture becomes a ritual.

And the food supplements that go with you every day...

"I never go without our Collagen-in-Powderenriched with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. I take it every morning, and I see a real difference in the firmness and tone of my skin. I adapt my cures according to the season: a draining cure in spring or magnesium in winter to support my energy in times of stress. What I find exciting is that we are now entering a new era of well-being, inspired by biohacking: understanding your body, listening to it, optimizing its resources in a targeted and natural way. It's this intelligent flexibility that makes Holidermie such a strength: everyone can pick and choose according to their own needs, their own rhythm, their own alchemy."

Which ritual has been passed on to you, and which one would you like to pass on?

"Massage. As a child, I would watch my aunt, a beautician, massage her face with infinite grace. This gesture has always fascinated me. Today, I pass it on to my daughters, and to our community. A few minutes of self-massage can transform your skin... And your state of mind."

What holistic actions do you take on a daily basis to feel good?

"I live beauty as a lifestyle. Intuitive eating, gentle physical activity, meditation, self-massage... In the morning, I start with a few facial yoga postures and a cup of tea. In the evening, I take time for a moment of gratitude and a few gestures to release tension. It's in these little rituals that I find my balance."

Precisely how do you cultivate inner balance?

"By slowing down. By breathing. By listening. I anchor myself with nature, with the beautiful energies that surround me, with my ability to reconnect with my emotions. On a daily basis, I also use rituals that resonate deeply with me: stones, which I choose according to my emotional state, light therapy to rebalance my energy, and sound healing, which accompanies me like a vibratory meditation. Inner balance is a constant adjustment, but it's the foundation of everything. It's what allows me to act, to create, to transmit, without losing myself."
