As we say farewell to 2021 and welcome the New Year, many of us take it upon ourselves to make a fresh start. As skincare lovers, we have dedicated routines to achieve skin perfection. However, as time goes by, our skins change and the New Year is a perfect time to take a step back and evaluate our routine and update it for the coming year.
It's easier said than done of course, but our Valmont Experts in North America are here to share their own Skincare resolutions to inspire us to freshen up our skincare regimens.
#1: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Name: Amanda Macino
Title: Director of Education and Events North America
Location: Chicago
Skin Type (and concern): Dryness & fine lines
Holy grail Valmont Product: Masque Majestueux is my absolute favorite product from La Maison Valmont. This 10-minute mask is activated by massage and nourishes, revitalizes and reveals exquisitely soft skin. Once removed the skin has a radiant glow and results last for 72 hours!!
Skincare Resolution: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! My skincare resolution is to work on replenishing my skin’s moisture levels that easily become dehydrated on long flights. The best trick to fighting dryness (in addition to drinking water) is to give your skin a boost after a long flight with Moisturizing with a Mask. This mask plumps and cushions the skin with its hydrating properties to reveal a healthy and rosy complexion, I could use it every day if I only remembered- which is why I’m making it my Skincare Resolution!
#2: Regular facial treatments work wonders!
Name: Jessica Bonnetain
Title: Senior Education Manager
Location: New York
Skin Type (and concern): Combination( oily and dehydrating skin) with hormonal breakouts
Holy Grail Valmont Product: Priming with A hydrating Fluid, Hydra 3 Regenetic Cream & Serum Majestueux Vos Yeux
Skincare Resolution: Healthy skin resolution #1: Get regular facials!
The beginning of a new year is a great time for fresh starts, for me to really get the year off to a gorgeous start I book all my facials for the next 6 months with my skincare expert and aesthetician to achieve the perfect complexion throughout the year
Healthy skin resolution #2: Use eye serum morning & night and an intensive treatment on the weekend like an eye mask
If the eyes are the window to the soul, think of the skin around your eyes as the window to stress, lack of sleep and visible signs of ageing. Make a point to hydrate this area, and fight against droopy eyes and fine lines. At the start of the year, I remind myself that my eyes are a sensitive area that requires special treatment to keep them looking their best. I insist on layering eye serum and eye cream every day and night. My favourite eye duo is Serum Majestueux Vos Yeux & Elixir des Glaciers Vos Yeux Eye Cream. On the weekend I do a special eye mask with our eye collagen mask when I have time.
#3: Makeup with skincare benefits is your everyday secret weapon!
Name: Krista Francescut
Title: Trainer & Event Manager
Location: Western Canada
Skin Type (and concern): Dry & Pigmentation
Holy grail Valmont Product: Teint Majestueux
Skincare Resolution: As an educator, I am always in front of a crowd so I like to ensure I put my best face forward. An even skin texture and tone is everyone’s goal and I love finishing my skincare routine with the satin texture of Teint Majestueux. The colour Natural Sand in Malta blends effortlessly for my neutral skin tone year-round. It is packed with anti-ageing ingredients from the L’Elixir des Glacier collection, so not only does it conceal my pigmentation, but it works to nourish, repair and fight signs of ageing. There is nothing worse than using the best skincare products only to finish with makeup that can counteract their effects. Teint Majestueux is the ultimate in luxury and performance. But the #1 reason why I am obsessed with this product is it leaves my skin Glowing with a capital G. After one application I was instantly hooked and I can assure you it is quintessential in my makeup bag.
#4: Plumped skin is happy skin!
Name: Melissa Marin
Title: Events & Education Manager
Location: Eastern US
Skin Type (and concern): Combination, uneven skin tone & large pores
Holy grail Valmont Product: Moisturizing Booster, Purifying Pack
Skincare Resolution: Incorporate the Regenerating Mask Treatment into my routine more often since it works such wonders! I am often on the road travelling for work and my skin lacks suppleness and hydration so the Regenerating Mask Treatment plumps up my fine lines and wrinkles and replenishes the hydration into my skin, all while unifying my complexion.
#5: Discipline is key!
Name: Andrée
Title: Education Event Manager-Quebec
Location: Montreal
Skin Type (and concern): Mature skin & lack of firmness
Holy grail Valmont Product: Masque Majestueux
Skincare Resolution: I have been very conscious of the demands of my skin over the years. Now in my mid-fifties, I definitely need to continue introducing top-of-the-line anti-ageing ingredients to delay as much as possible the signs of ageing and avoid any cosmetic procedure. This year, my resolution is to be consistent with my personalized daily routine. Discipline is the key, isn’t it?!
I personally use Icy Falls twice a day, the V-Firm line to truly tighten the skin and restore density. Once or twice a week, I also incorporate the Face Exfoliant as well as the iconic Prime Renewing Pack.
#6: Add firming products to delay signs of ageing!
Name: Amy Chasko
Title: Event and Education Manager West Coast
Location: Los Angeles
Skin Type: Aging skin & loss of firmness
Holy Grail Valmont Product: Prime Renewing Pack (my Photoshop instant WOW mask)
Skincare resolution: I want to introduce additional firming serums like the Serum Précieux to layer under my creams and add an eye firming serum for my eyelids. As my skin is changing I want to step up my routine with more advanced products. A little preventative action today will save me a lot of time trying to correct my skin later.
#7: Don't forget the body!
Name: Judit
Title: Event and Educational Manager West USA
Location: Arizona, Phoenix
Skin Type (and concern): Dry & dull skin
Holy grail Valmont Product: Face exfoliant, Prime Renewing Pack
Skincare Resolution: When it comes to my face, I'm a total "product junkie." I've got my daily and weekly routine down but I must admit to putting my body's skincare second. I don't make it a priority, SO, my skincare resolution would be to use Body 24hr daily to keep my body also as comfortable as my face is.
