After a few uses, skin emerges healthier-looking, youthful, plumper, well-hydrated, and with fewer lines and wrinkles.

Skin Benefit: Firming, smoothing, plumps, hydrates, gives skin a natural radiance
Personal Review: "I was super impressed by the cream's power to hydrate my skin, which has become dry lately from traveling, without leaving behind a greasy residue. After using the cream just a few times, I started noticing a subtle plumping effect, and the fine lines on my forehead and around my mouth began to disappear daily. Just a little bit of this cream, which has a balm-like texture, goes a long way in terms of product application and the cream's ability to improve the skin. It works so well that I could even forgo my usual routine of several skincare products to tackle the common signs of aging at 45."

If your skin needs a youth-boosting pick-me-up, this mask does the job in 15 minutes or less. The creamy formula, loaded with active anti-aging ingredients, goes hard to reenergize tired, dull-looking, dry skin, leaving it healthy, happy, and refreshed.

Personal Review: "The first time I tried this creamy, rose-scented mask, I fell in love with it. After experiencing a bout of hormonal breakouts coupled with dry skin, my skin was in major need of some help. I layered on the mask, let it sit on my skin for 15 minutes, and then wiped it off, massaging any excess into my skin. Not only did my skin feel soft, far less red, and instantly plump, but it also looked healthy and revitalized—and my makeup looked the best in weeks! I also enjoyed the sensorial experience. Carve out some time as you relax and pamper your skin with this ultra-luxe, cult classic face mask."
All Day All Year

Consider this lightweight 'topping' cream your new go-to for an extra dose of much-needed environmental protection. Perfect to wear alongside your favorite Sisley skincare products and layer under makeup, this skin-shielding formula supports the skin and protects it from pollution and cigarette smoke, which are responsible for 80% of skin aging, setting the stage for younger-looking skin.

Personal Review: "I first tried All Day All Year a few years ago, and it has been a staple in my morning skincare routine ever since. The barely-there scent always makes me feel good about starting my day and awakens my senses, almost like I just had a professional facial. The formula melts into my skin in seconds without leaving behind any residue or shiny finish, just a natural, lit-from-within glow. I like applying All Day All Year after my sunscreen to "lock" everything in. Plus, I feel confident knowing I'm extra protected against environmental damage thanks to the cream's encapsulated filters to prevent those pollutants from wreaking havoc on my skin."
Eye Contour Mask
$175.00
Smooth away unwanted under-eye puffiness with this specially designed eye mask, made specifically for treating the delicate skin in the orbital rim. This creamy mask rehydrates the under-eye area in 10 minutes, helping to diminish signs of late nights, a tired appearance, fine lines, dark circles, and puffiness.

Skin Type: Mature and aging eyes
Skin Benefits: Smoothing, anti-fatigue, anti-aging, refreshing
Personal Review: "Most eye masks promise to deliver but provide little improvement if any at all. Yet this thick, balm-like mask is different. Just a little goes a long way in the refreshing and depuffing department. I've noticed that after a few weeks of using it every day instead of my traditional eye cream (I know, I know, but hey, that's the experiential beauty editor in me, always using my products a little off the cuff), it also drastically improved my dark under-eye circles, so much so that the PRF treatment I was planning on booking is now on hold. Anyone bothered by any under-eye ailment needs this eye mask in their beauty regimen!"

Personal Review: "Finding an oil-free, non-comedogenic foundation that stays put and doesn't budge or slip from my oily skin while giving my skin a natural-looking finish is no easy feat. But, upon applying just a few pumps of this foundation to my skin, I saw that it checked every box on my makeup list and more. Not only does the foundation give a skin- and line-smoothing effect, but it also has blurring powers, making my skin look like it is filtered in real life. I especially love wearing this makeup for nights out when I don't want my makeup to oxidize or wear off."
Phyto-Teint Ultra Eclat Foundation
$110.00
Some days call for makeup with a lightweight, more fluid finish that looks like your skin just better, and that's where this oil-free version comes into play.

Key ingredients: Mineral complex, buckwheat seed extract, mallow and gardenia flower extracts
Skin Type: All
Skin Benefits: Hydrating, illuminating, and softening
Personal Review: "I always reach for this ultra-light foundation on those good skin days when I want less coverage and a nice matte yet velvety finish. It pairs beautifully with cream blush and bronzer, and the formula melts right into my skin, giving it a natural look while hiding any signs of blemishes and minor discoloration. This makeup wears so well and looks so natural that I sometimes forget I'm wearing it!"

Like skincare for your hair, this highly concentrated protein, vitamin, and oil-rich conditioning mask helps nurse dry, damaged hair back to health by nourishing both it and the scalp.

As I get older, I find that my hair needs more help than ever before, and this hair mask always helps to add volume, shine, bounce and make my hair feel stronger and less susceptible to damage without EVER weighing it down or leaving my ends feeling gummy, which unfortunately plenty of hair masks can do. I also love the fresh scent that lingers on my hair long after I wash out the mask—always a plus!"
The Bottom Line
Good skincare and good makeup go hand in hand. While healthy, luminous skin is the foundation for good makeup, it's important to invest in both—as well as your hair—to help prevent the signs of aging while minimizing any imperfections.
