Summer is the time for parties, long days in the sun, and travel. All of this is wonderful — but what is it doing to your skin? Here at Paul Labrecque Skincare Spa, we’re committed to offering you professional skincare products that will keep your skin beautiful, rejuvenated, and vibrant all summer long. Read below to find out the best recommendations from Paul Labrecque for summer Biologique Recherche products.

1. Gently Cleanse

Let’s face it: summer is hot and you’ll be sweating. Between the excessive sweat and dirt and the higher levels of pollution, it can be hard to keep your skin looking fresh and clear all summer long. Paul Labrecque recommends cleansing your face morning and evening with Lait VIP O2. This anti-pollution oxygenating cleanser and make-up remover will purify, oxygenate, and brighten your skin. In fact, you can expect up to 83% fewer polluting particles after your first use of this gentle make-up remover.

2. Refresh Your Skin

Keeping your skin feeling protected, refreshed, and hydrated all day long is no easy feat in the summer. L’Eauxygénante can help you get there. Full of vitamin C and the Biologique Recherche oxygenating complex, this refreshing facial mist will unify the complexion and diminish blemishes — all while restoring your natural glow! This is a Paul Labrecque must-have for every bag this summer season.

3. Restore & Calm (Post Sun Exposure)

Whether you spent the day at the beach with friends, gardening with family, or biking around the city, a long day in the sun can cause damage and make your skin more sensitive. It’s important to protect your skin from sun exposure year-round, but it’s absolutely necessary in the summer when sun damage on the face is more prevalent. Masque Biosensible and Réparation U.V. can both soothe sun damage. 

Masque Biosensible contains hyaluronic acid, cucumber extract, and sacha inchi oil in order to calm, comfort, and strengthen sun-damaged skin. This sun-damaged skin treatment provides instant relief.

Réparation U.V. soothes, nourishes and regenerates your skin — all while allowing you to keep your tan longer!

4. Keep Your Glow & Hydration

In summer, applying a thick, heavy face cream may not be the best option for healthy skincare. Indeed, you may want to find alternatives to creams that will still keep your skin hydrated. Fortunately for you, Biologique Recherche has developed several options for that specific purpose:

• Gel: This water-based option features the lightest texture of all. Gel ADN Silkgen will hydrate and refresh skin without leaving your skin feeling heavy or sticky. This facial serum and revitalizing face gel is ideal for frequent travelers, people exposed to dry climates, and people with stressed Skin Instants©.
• Emulsion Gel: The sensitive skincare product Emulsion Gel Biosensible will hydrate, soothe, and relieve Sensitive and Dehydrated Skin Instants©. Sensitive Skin Instants© with Seborrheic Tendency should opt instead for Emulsion Gel Biosensible S.R. This latter option controls sebum secretion, therefore restoring and mattifying the skin.
• Emulsion: With the richest texture here, the Emulsion Originelle Regenerante focuses on moisturizing the upper layers of the epidermis. This hydrating face moisturizer is ideal for regenerating and hydrating Dilapidated and/or Dehydrated Skin Instants©. 

The Body Corner

To protect, hydrate, and nourish your skin all summer long, Paul Labrecque Skincare Spa offers a variety of professional skincare products from Biologique Recherche. Read all about Paul Labrecque recommendations for your best beach body ever and a healthy summer skincare routine:

Exfoliate for an even skin tone

The summer heat, sun, and subsequent sweat will take its toll on your delicate skin, but regular exfoliation will ensure continued health and strength. Use Gommage P50 Corps and/or

Lotion P50 Corps to effectively exfoliate your skin. If you use our body exfoliating glove — the Body Massage Glove — then the product will penetrate your skin better for enhanced performance.

Treat stretch marks

There are actually two types of stretch marks: red and white. To meet the diverse needs of clients, Biologique Recherche developed two separate stretch mark treatments. This is truly a breakthrough in the skincare industry and Biologique Recherche and Paul Labrecque are paving the way with this revolutionary natural stretch mark removal.

• Crème R-Stria will prevent and alleviate red stretch marks. It does so by decreasing inflammation and reconstructing dermal fibers. 
• Crème B-Stria is efficient for white stretch marks removal as it stimulates skin repair.

Hydrate and glow

Want to preserve your tan, hydrate your skin, and avoid peeling all at the same time? Paul Labrecque recommends the Emulsion Corps VIP O2 with Huile Bénéfique. Lighter than an oil yet richer than a cream, this mix provides for an intense skin hydration. It will penetrate your skin instantly, leaving a silky, non-greasy touch. Within just a few days of use, you can expect to see a natural tanned glow! 

What’s better than this hydrating oil? Having it in a travel size for you to carry with you everywhere! When you’re at the beach, you can even apply it on your hair in order to keep your hair hydrated and nourished while you’re out in the harsh sun.

Protect Your Locks With These Finishing Serums

Summer isn’t just hard on your skin — it can take a toll on your hair as well. Paul Labrecque recommends these two hair strengtheners and serums to keep your hair shiny (without making your hair look greasy or oily). 

• Lotion Keractive: This no-rinse hair treatment and leave-in hair conditioner will fortify your hair quickly and effectively so your hair can be protected all summer long.
• Pommade Capillaire: This hair strengthener coats your hair with a protective film and helps repair cuticle scales while rebuilding from the inside. This hair product is a must for your beach bag!
