​ 5 must-haves from Phytomer that will make your skin glow

I saw the ocean for the first time when I came to New York. I was 23, it was the end of October and I couldn’t help but jump into the water despite surprised looks of my local friends who probably thought that I was crazy.

Ocean has been always fascinating to me not only because of its beauty but also because of its almost magical healing properties. Did you know that every naturally occurring element has been found in seawater? No wonder that the hottest anti-aging ingredients come from under the sea, from marine collagen to seaweed and sea salts, rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

While there are couple cosmetic companies creating marine-based skincare, I’ve been a long-time fan and a very happy user of Phytomer cosmetics. Phytomer in French means “plant of the sea” which describes perfectly well what this company does: utilizing seawater, seaweed, and seaside plants and creating unique marine-based skin products.

Below is my newest top 5 of Phytomer face products with 2 bonus products that are also beneficial for your hair and body. I’ve been gifted these products by Phytomer whom I approached myself suggesting a collaboration, and I’ve been using these for the past month so my review is based on personal experience and comes from the heart (and glowing skin!):

DOUX VISAGE Velvet Cleansing Cream
It’s not a secret that healthy skin starts with thorough daily cleansing and the reason I love Phytomer’s cleansing cream is because of its creamy silky texture which is perfect for dry and/or mature skin. This cream does more than simply removing makeup and day residues from your skin – red algae extract hydrates and menthol refreshes your skin while preparing it for skin care creams and serums. It is the perfect base for your daily skin beauty rituals.

ROSÉE VISAGE Toning Cleansing Lotion
This is a very gentle alcohol-free toner that remineralizes your skin with its unique ingredient – Oligomer, freeze-dried seawater – and restores pH balance.

PIONNIÈRE XMF WHITE Skin Translucency Cream
Do you believe in magic? You would if you tried this cream. It targets wrinkles, dark spots and a dull complexion with its advanced biotechnological marine sugars (both of which sound like magic to me):

XMF stands for Extra Marine Filler which deposits a natural invisible film on skin’s surface smoothing wrinkles in about 15 (!) minutes.

EPS Whitetech inhibits the synthesis of melanin induced by UV but also prevents dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
This wonderful cream has a “second skin” texture with a velvety matte finish and a refreshing scent of jasmine, citrus and rose (hello, spring!). Enhanced with soft-focus powders and golden pearls, it literally blurs wrinkles & illuminates the skin, which allows me to skip skin makeup whatsoever – I just add SPF cream on top and “I am ready for my close-up!”

EXPERTISE ÂGE CONTOUR Intense Youth Eye Cream
Skin around the eyes always needs a little extra love, and this is exactly what this cream is about. It contains red algae with a strong free radical action, samphire oil for soothing and moisturizing, marine spring water rich in trace minerals & elements, and buckwheat oil that reduces puffiness and dark circles. Everything your eye contour has ever asked for!

ROSÉE SOIN Radiance Replenishing Oil contains 4 oils in one: D-Tox Micro Algae oil, rose oil, gorse oil and jojoba oil. During the winter season I add this serum to my daily skin routine. It’s a very comfortable dry oil that leaves a velvety finish and smoothes skin immediately. I love to mix it with PIONNIÈRE XMF WHITE Skin Translucency Cream for an added “boost” of nourishment when my skin needs it the most.

And here are my secret beauty tools from Phytomer (a promised bonus material for those who have reads this far!):

TRÉSOR DES MERS Beautifying Oil
Golden dry oil which you can spray on the body and hair. Perfect for beach vacations and steamy hot New York summers.

OLIGOMER® PURE Lyophilized Sea Water Bath
Something I cannot enjoy on a daily basis simply because I don’t have a bathtub at home, but I always get this when I travel and stay in places with a bathtub (which is my number 1 requirement). Oligomer® (meaning “little sea”) is an ingredient that has and will continue to be the heart of the brand. It is the purest and most potent form of Oligomer® available, consisting of sodium- reduced seawater concentrate containing all of the active components of the sea, notably 104 trace elements essential to cellular balance and vitality. Soaking in this seawater bath for 15-20 minutes reduces muscle tension, soothes your skin and pumps up physical and emotional well-being. One thing I wish I could do every day!
