As a Breton surfer at heart, I feel a deep connection to Biotherm's ocean-inspired world. Now at 25, I'm embracing my femininity with greater confidence. It's an accessible brand I grew up with—my mother used it—and I'm rediscovering it as a woman, loving it just as much.
My Biotherm rituals adapt to seasons and skin needs. Generally, I mix a bit of Aqua-Gelée Autotanzante into my daytime moisturizer for a healthy glow. Lately, I've been using Aquasource Cocoon—it's incredibly comforting. Sometimes, I add drops of Liquid Glow Skin Best for a subtle shine. Evenings, I reach for the Serum or Cream from the Blue Therapy range to address early aging signs. After heavy makeup, I apply the Life Plankton Mask post-cleansing and leave it on overnight—it's enveloping, and you wake up with radiant skin. Like my mother taught me, I rotate products to prevent my skin from adapting to active ingredients, keeping them effective.
I'm all about natural looks: a BB cream blended with my day cream or a light veil of loose powder to blur dark circles and imperfections. Urban Decay Perversion mascara is a staple—one coat in the morning gives lush, dark lashes with a natural vibe; I layer it for evenings out. Make Up For Ever's HD Blush adds face-defining structure. On lips, I swear by nourishing balms like Biotherm Lip Butter.
Take care of your eyebrows! Pros emphasized their importance, so now I'm meticulous. Threading offers slow regrowth, and I use a pencil to fill sparse areas.
I pamper my hair since sea water dries it out—though I love that salty texture! I shampoo every two days with a treatment, rinse-out or leave-in, always silicone-free. Weekly, I sleep in René Furterer's Night Capillary treatment—it truly regenerates strands.
(Laughs) Beautiful hair! Seriously, ocean-raised, water is my element. Surfing invigorates me—I feel alive with board in hand and wetsuit on. It's a profound connection to nature; I'm water-sensitive. For two years, I've sponsored UNICEF's La Nuit de l’Eau since 2007, where pools stay open all night, proceeds building African village wells so girls like those in Togo can attend school. The 10th edition is March 18, 2017. I've also joined SurfRider Foundation beach cleanups since student days.
Take time to 'read' the ocean: sit for at least 5 minutes observing the spot while warming up. It helps anticipate waves. Don't let cold overwhelm you—it tenses muscles and makes it harder.
Simple: eat well and move regularly. Nutrition fuels the body—I listen to mine, balancing meals with occasional treats. No deprivation; if I crave a burger, I enjoy it and add a workout.
In Brittany, waves call me out! In Paris, good weather helps, but rain is tough. I focus on one positive thing about the day.
It boosted my womanly confidence, taught me style and makeup, immersed me in Paris buzz. It wasn't my childhood dream, so I appreciated it more—the experience and aftermath exceeded expectations.
