60 Minute Bleecker Street Signature Facial

Marcia Bush, Sisley Paris’s expert esthetician, prepared customized mini facials for each guest, based on their skincare needs, whether it’s to hydrate the skin, enjoy aromatherapy, a restorative facial for skin that is stressed or needs brightening. Sisley Paris also offers its busy clients on-the-go a 60 minute Bleecker Street Signature Facial, that includes a relaxing scalp and leg massage. The Lyslait démaquillant au Lys Blanc toutes peaux is a gentle cleansing milk, with White Lily, that is good for all skin types. For reducing redness on sensitive skin, Bush recommends using the Lotion Tonique aux Fleurs, which is alcohol-free, to calm the skin. The instant éclat works as an instant glow primer.

Sisley Paris is renowned for its Black Rose collection, a series of products uniquely created with Paris-grown black roses, that naturally soothes and plumps the skin.

The evening also included a tutorial discussing Sisley Paris’s simple, three-step evening regimen for skincare that only takes minutes, introducing the Supremÿa La Nuit anti-aging skincare line. This includes a Night Lotion, to prepare skin; Supremÿa at Night, to repair damage; and Supremÿa Eyes at Night, to reduce eye puffiness and diminish the look of dark circles.

It’s all about striking a balance between finding the right skincare regimen for your lifestyle, and “légèreté-(lightness in French), makeup that’s a second skin,” says store manager Cecile Dennis. It shouldn’t feel heavy, but give a natural look that might make one wonder if someone is even wearing makeup. For spring 2022, they’ve introduced their Phyto-Teint Nude foundation. All of Sisley Paris’s makeup is plant-based, so it is kind to your skin, without ingredients such as alcohol, that can be drying and cause irritation. It also seals in hydration and optimizes plumpness.

For lips, Sisley Paris recently introduced its Phyto-Rouge Shine, hydrating lip color, with Vitamin E, Moringa Oil, and Jojoba oil, available in 12 shades. But also, the applicator is designed to be kind to the environment; the elegant-looking refill clips into the base of the cap. Remove the upper part of the lipstick by pulling it upwards and clipping in the new refill.

Sisley Paris also has its own brand of hair care products, Sisley Hair Rituel, which is the equivalent of medical-grade back in France. Their Revitalizing Fortifying Serum Duo includes two highly concentrated serums infused with plant-based extracts, proteins, vitamins, and minerals to visibly fortify hair and scalp.

Three Natural Beauty Treatments For The Colder Months

And just like that, New York has gotten coooooold. After all, we are in November, so we shouldn’t be surprised, yet the cold makes us want to snuggle up with a cup of tea, a good book and go into full-on pampering mode. To make sure we’re not putting any unnecessary chemicals on our body, here are three natural beauty treatments for your skin, lips, and hair.

 

GingerChi Regenerating Face Serum and Jade Roller

Apply a few drops of GingerChi Regenerating Face Serum to your face after cleansing. This potent serum is a blend of beautifying essential oils. Use the GingerChi Jade Roller to roll under eyes, over crow’s feet as well as along brow lines and lips. The Jade Roller has anti-aging benefits and helps promote radiance and vitality.

Rose Dorée Lip Oil

Apply this soothing liquid balm that revives dehydrated lips with luminous shine and a kiss of color from One Over One, the new beauty brand taking the natural world by storm.

 

Milbon Head Spa Treatment at Pierre Michel Salon

The “Head Spa” is literally a facial for the scalp, originally developed in Japan and influenced by Indian Ayurveda practices, this luxurious treatment combines scalp cleansing, a relaxing head massage and scalp and hair conditioning. These elements promote a clean scalp, beauty of the hair and also is highly relaxing. You can find this treatment at Pierre Michel Salon at 135 E 57th St in NYC, done by professional Yoshie Sakuma.
