Rendezvous with Alexandre Giesbert

Hello Alexandre! What do you do for a living? 

I'm a restaurateur. With my partner Julien, we run two Italian restaurants, Daroco. We have one in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris and a second in the 16th. We make really good pizzas... in a beautiful setting, because that's even better! I love this job, no two days are the same. You always have to challenge yourself, start from scratch... In fact, I love it when it's complicated! I'm a big fan of challenges.

What's a good beauty routine for you? 

Even if it wasn't part of my upbringing, with my job where I'm involved a lot in representation, I can't really cut it. So I'm careful! After that, it has to be quick and efficient. 

Your skin? 

It's rather dry and sometimes even irritated. And for some time now, wrinkles have been appearing that I want to slow down. 

Your evening routine? 

Before going to bed, the first thing I do is wash my face.. Then I apply Super Rich Repair Dermalogica. Once a week (or once every 2 weeks), I apply a thick layer of the Skin Hydrating Mask Dermalogica. In the morning, my skin feels really hydrated.

And during the day? 

I apply Rich Cream Augustinus Bader. It's my new kiff... It prevents wrinkles and reduces those already present.

What do you do for your hair and body? 

When I have time, I use the Body Butter Susanne Kaufmann it's very rich, super-nourishing and non-sticky. It's also a soothing cream that does me good when I have eczema. As for my hair, it's very dry and tends to frizz. It's a real issue for me! I love Smooth Again Kevin Murphy to soften it all up. I sometimes use it instead of my shampoo or always after.
