If you could only choose one product to use, which one would it be?
If I could only use one product from the above Abeille Royale Skincare products, it would completely depend on the time of year. During the winter, I could not live without the
Honey Treatment Day Cream because of hownourishing and hydrating it is for the skin. However, during the summer I prefer to use lighter textures and therefore I would have to choose theDouble R Renew and Repair Serum . It leaves my skin feelingincredibly radiant , which I love during the summer when I wear less makeup. It’s really important for my natural glow to shine through!
From a young age I’ve been immersed in the beauty industry, getting my first job at a skin clinic and staying there for almost 5 years. My love for skincare was born from the constant exposure to new French pharma skincare products, award-winning supplements and revolutionary techniques to snatch your face. My go-to look is a dewy, natural base using a tinted moisturiser, enhanced by a colourful eyeliner. The Garnier SPF50+ Face Fluid and YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer are my holy grails.
