Rendezvous with Estelle Chemouny
"My skin right now reacts to everything!"
Who are you?
My name is Estelle and I've been living in Paris for 4 years. Before that, I lived in London for 10 years. I've just opened my men's boutique with my husband just off rue Saint Honoré, called Paradise Garage Store.
And what about your skin?
My skin reacts to everything at the moment! Some days it's really tight and it burns, while other days it gets oily and little pimples pop out... At the moment, I've got quite a few spots too.
What are your essentials?
I've been using the Daily Microfoliant Dermalogica it has really helped me to get smoother, cleaner, more glowy skin and to get rid of all the little imperfections...
Oh, and I'm all about moisturizing! At the moment, I've set my sights on the Hydrating Serum Oh My Cream Skincare Moisturizing Serum with hyaluronic acid. It really helps plump up my tight skin. Over this, I apply a vitamin E cream called Face Base Vitamin E Day Cream. Lano. I also like to mix it with thePlumping Oil Oh My Cream Skincare.
I've had melasma for 2 years now, so in order not to make things worse, I apply SPF50 every day. I like the Sun Face Cream SPF50 Rudolph Care because it's very light and doesn't give me a white mask... As I never expose my skin to the sun, I also use A Hint Of Summer Radiance Self Tanner Rudolph Care These are little drops that I mix with my moisturizer and apply every other day to get a little tan.
And the make-up?
I don't really like wearing make-up, I always feel like I'm wearing a mask. Lately I've been discovering Olio E Osso's sticks and I've got two of them: the Baume Blush En Stick N°2 "French Melon Olio E Osso which I apply to my cheekbones, and the Bronzing Balm N°6 "Bronze Olio E Osso which I apply on the bridge of the nose, a little on the cheekbones too and under the lips.
Your beauty tips?
Every morning, I drink lemon juice with a little cider vinegar. I find it's helped clarify my skin enormously. I've also started exercising again since the confinement and I really feel it's had a positive impact on my skin too, with a better complexion.
