FOR PEOPLE WHO CARE

Biologique Recherche Glows Up Discover the unmistakable glow of healthy skin.

ABOUT TAKING CARE

Ask any A-lister how they get that litfrom-within glow and you’re likely to hear the words P50, a secret code that’s had everyone from Madonna and Nicole Kidman to Kim Kardashian singing its praises. Made by French professional skincare experts Biologique Recherche, the Lotion P50 range

is famous around the world for its exfoliating prowess, its strong smell and, most of all, its unmistakable glow. And it catapulted Biologique Recherche and its impressive roster of innovative skincare products, including the new Serum Collagene Originel, to an even higher level of fame. ↳

It’s a well-deserved buzz that’s been a long time coming. “Even though they’re more than 40 years old, their approach is more relevant than ever, as so many people have destroyed their skin from different methods and products that were just so disrespectful of skin health,” says Suzie Rousseau who uses Biologique Recherche at her naturopathic and aesthetics clinic pH Santé Beauté in Montreal. “There’s a difference to be made between a glow that’s easily achieved by adding luminosity and real skin glow,” she emphasizes.

“There’s a difference to be made between a glow that’s easily achieved by adding luminosity and real skin glow.”

MEET SERUM COLLAGENE ORIGINEL, THE MOTHER OF ALL COLLAGEN FROM BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE We all know collagen as that magical bit of biology that keeps skin looking plump and fresh. Sadly, it’s not something that we can hold onto forever. From the age of 25 onwards, collagen reserves begin to decrease by about one percent every year, leaving skin to thin and eventually sag. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can care for the collagen you’ve got with Collagene Originel, the newest serum from Biologique Recherche. It may come as a surprise that the human body actually has 28 types of collagen, and not all of these are created equal. When it comes to skin density and structure, the most important of these are collagen types I, III, IV and VII.

Biologique Recherche Serum Collagene Originel uses a formula centered upon patented active ingredient Type-0 Collagen sourced from a primitive planktonic organism that hasn’t evolved in more than 600 million years. In fact, it’s so ancient that it is considered to be the historical strain of all collagen types and the original base in its raw state.

While we may have celebrities to thank for shining the spotlight on Biologique Recherche, the talented beauty professionals who care for their skin behind the scenes are the real reason we all love the brand. Take Jenna Lyons, who told The New York Times back in 2014 that she learned about Biologique Recherche from New York facialist Aida Bicaj. “It’s my favourite thing that I don’t leave home without. I have large ones, travel-size ones; I have them in the office, at home, in my pockets,” Lyons said of her bottles of P50. Or Elizabeth Olsen, who credits California facialist Yonat Zilberg with introducing her to the brand. “She completely changed my skin,” Olsen said. If Biologique Recherche is the secret to restoring skin health and revealing that inner glow, then it can’t be done without a beauty professional. Because of their expertise, skin therapists can recommend the proper products for your Skin Instant©, the unique Biologique Recherche methodology that treats the skin in a way that considers factors like climate, pollution, hormones and lifestyle at each different moment in life. “This is where BR is so fantastic: because we have access to so many different actives. We have access to everything we could want, so that we can fine tune this recipe to the most precise needs of the skin that’s in front of us,” Rousseau says. “It’s finding the right recipe to bring that health back.” 

Recommended for Skin Instants© with established wrinkles, Biologique Recherche Serum Collagene Originel stimulates the collagen that’s naturally present in the skin as well as at the gene and protein levels. It not only reduces the length of wrinkles—it also revitalizes the connections between the dermis and the epidermis for skin that’s tighter and smoother.

YOUR GUIDE to LIVING BEAUTIFULLY

As we ease our way towards the new year, here are some of the trends and movements on Living Beauty Founder and CEO Mariam White’s radar this season and how they’re impacting the beauty world.

No. 01 TENSION-LESS TRAVEL

No. 03 THE GIFT OF SENSORIALITY This holiday season, we’re all about welcoming sensuality into our lives with gifts and experiences (Biologique Recherche facial, anyone?) that delight the senses. For starters, take a peek at Olverum (page 3), the UK-based brand that takes bathing rituals to the next level.

Chaos at airports has us doing anything we can to avoid checking a bag. Travellers have a myriad of multifunctional skincare products that can ease this pain, along with deluxe travel sizes that have gained popularity in the last few years. Slip a Masque PIGM from Biologique Recherche into your carryon and you can maintain your results without waiting for hours at the baggage carousel.

No. 05 MINIMAL MAKEUP, MAXIMUM SKINCARE

No. 04 EFFICIENCY & VALUE

No. 02 A REGENERATIVE MINDSET It’s become clear to ethical consumers that living sustainability is a work in progress, especially where natural resources are concerned. Biomimetic ingredients grown in labs are just one exciting part of the solution we expect to see more of in the beauty industry to avoid any deforestation for the sake of a hot new ingredient.

Ongoing economic uncertainty has made it even more important to make wise investments. Getting expert treatments and advice from a beauty professional, rather than just trying out random products seen on TikTok, will always give you the best bang for your buck.

As we look to multi-use products with effective skincare ingredients, the skin will continue to be the starting point for all of our makeup looks. Let’s be honest: an even complexion with a hint of a natural glow is the ultimate antidote to our Zoom fatigue.

LIVING BEAUTY

Founder's Letter

MEET MARIAM Living Beauty was created especially for people who care about taking care. When you fill your life with the people, values, objects and places that you care about—whether that’s the book you reread every few years, your favourite hole-in-the-wall restaurant or the yourlips-but-better lipstick you have in multiples—you tend to feel like the best version of yourself. It’s this outlook that informs everything we do at Living Beauty, a multifaceted beauty discovery and distribution company. When I founded Living Beauty, my goal was simple: to unite the best beauty brands from around the world in one place. Over seven years, we’ve discovered some pretty incredible and, more importantly, effective products that really deliver on MARIAM’S PARIS INSIDER TIP:

Living Beauty is constantly growing and evolving. This fall, two innovative beauty brands that rethink how we approach skincare from top to toe are joining our family. Come say hi.

results. What’s more, there’s something special about each and every one of them: they tell a story with a real point of view. Beauty is universal. It’s extremely personal and it will always be integral to our identities and how we express ourselves in the world. Even the smallest gestures in nature and design offer a treasured opportunity to pause and appreciate. At the heart of Living Beauty is our community of beauty professionals located across Canada and beyond. It’s through their expertise and care that we build and nurture our emotional connections, all while achieving the best results. So, let’s get to know each other, shall we?

OLVERUM

“Who comes to Paris to eat Italian food? I do! Besides having a great atmosphere, Pizza Popolare is affordable and delicious. It can’t be beat.”

With an incredibly rich heritage that dates back to the legendary wellness spas of 1920s Baden-Baden, Olverum has perfected the art of bathing with care. It all started with their iconic Bath Oil, which took years to create and sought to bring the therapeutic benefits of essential oils into the home. Flash forward 90 years and Olverum is leading the way in the new wave of mindful luxury. “We pride ourselves on being, first of all, a highperformance brand,” says Olverum founder and managing director Dominic Hawksley. Made with highquality, natural ingredients and vegan formulas, Olverum continues to explore the benefits of essential oils, including the signature aroma that’s enchanted the likes of royals and celebrities. “All our products have to smell fantastic,” Hawksley says. “Not only that, the essential oils we select don’t just make them smell nice, they have to have an active contribution to the product.” Since expanding beyond The Bath Oil, the London-based brand now offers body oils, polishes and moisturizers, bath salts and a pillow mist, all of which boast the original Bath Oil’s uniquely restorative properties and luxurious feel.

Olverum Bath Oil (125 ml), $74

“

Beauty is universal. It’s extremely personal and it will always be integral to our identities and how we express ourselves in the world.”

In a cold climate like Canada’s, body care can be all too easy to overlook, but Hawksley says it’s important to give all of our skin the same level of attention as we do our face. “The skin, as you know, is the biggest organ on the body, but also the first line of defense against all sorts of environmental aggressors. Maintaining the skin barrier is very, very important,” Hawksley says. “It’s really good not only for your physical wellbeing, but for your spiritual and mental wellbeing, to take that time just to stop and focus on yourself and listen to what your body needs.” ↳

The complete range of Olverum products can be mixed and matched to create the ultimate restorative experience at home. From left: Olverum The Dry Body Oil (100 ml), $88, Bath Oil (125 ml), $74, Firming Body Oil (100 ml), Firming Body Moisturiser (200 ml), $80, Pure Radiance Facial Oil (15 ml), $112, Restful Sleep Pillow Mist (50 mL), $48

ADIPEAU They say if something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, and that’s never been truer than at skincare brand Adipeau. Their exclusive product is the revolutionary Active Face Cream, which addresses both skin volume and sagging at once by supporting skin’s deep fat cells. “It’s the first time that anyone has shown that you can really restore two seemingly opposed aesthetic parameters in the face—volume loss and sagginess,” says founder Ivan Galanin. “We’ve shown that you can do both and, in fact, they both work by restoring the original setting of the skin.” To achieve these dual-pronged results, Galanin takes a fresh approach to supporting the skin from within. “The structure of the skin is actually completely misunderstood,” he says, explaining that the common visualization of skin as a three-layer cake made up of the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis paints an incomplete picture of what’s really going on in the skin. “It’s actually like a comb, and the teeth of the comb are fat cells that line the hair follicles,” Galanin says. Adipeau fuels the root structure of the skin, where the fat cells are stored, feeding it just what it needs to stay healthy. “The cream affects the dermal fat directly. And it reaches the dermal fat via the hair follicle.” To penetrate deep into the skin via the hair follicle, Adipeau should be painted onto the face, so it has time to slide into skin via the hair follicle, rather than being rubbed in, which leaves the natural actives stuck in the outer layer of the skin. When creating Adipeau, Galanin tapped two key natural ingredients: safflower oil, which stimulates regeneration, and black ginger, which nourishes a toned root structure. The vegan formula can be used at any point in time, such as weekly in your 20s as preventative maintenance, daily for targeted repairs or before an evening out or on-camera moment. Consider it the one-and-only must-have you need to add to your skincare routine this fall. 

Fact or Fiction?

IF IT BURNS, IT MEANS IT’S WORKING.

With so much information (and misinformation) about skincare out there, it’s easy to get confused about what’s fact and what’s fiction. Laure Bouscharain, head of the R&D department at Biologique Recherche, gets to the bottom of some of the most common beauty myths.

Fact and Fiction

Fact or Fiction

Stimulation by active ingredients, such as fruit acids, can actually be detected by the skin as aggressors. This stimulates the strengthening of the skin barrier, which is a good thing. But these mediators also activate the skin’s defence system and a slight temporary inflammation may occur. That said, if the skin burns, becomes very red and itches, this is not good and should not be allowed to happen on a chronic basis. There are, however, cases where burning is beneficial, like peels done at intervals and controlled by a professional.

First off, you have to be able to identify the smell. A product whose oils are oxidising will smell rancid, which is not good for the skin. A bad smell can also be caused by biological contamination, which means the product is off. But a product can also have a strong smell because it contains a lot of active ingredients, like concentrated plant extracts, which have a very strong odour. A rose extract, for example, will not smell like rose petals but rather like crushed leaves. At Biologique Recherche, we use a lot of highly concentrated plant extracts as well as yeast extract which has a very strong aroma.

INGREDIENTS CAN BE TOXIC. Fiction

The regulation of cosmetic ingredients is very demanding, monitored and evolving. There is a list of ingredients that may be used with maximum concentrations, and all cosmetic products are required to follow the regulations in force in the country where they are sold. Plus, precautionary principles are applied when there is not enough data on an ingredient.

Laure Bouscharain

A SMELLY PRODUCT MEANS IT’S OFF.

MILK CLEANSERS AREN’T GOOD FOR OILY SKIN. Fiction

On the contrary: using a milk cleanser will help to clean the skin while regulating sebum production. Seborrheic skin contains many impurities and the best way to eliminate them is to dissolve them in a lipophilic component like milk. Moreover, milk is a gentle cleanser. An aggressive cleanser will further dry out the skin, which will produce even more sebum to protect itself. 

IF I DON’T SEE A RESULT WITHIN A FEW DAYS, IT’S NOT WORKING.

Fiction

It can take time before results are visible on the surface of the skin. On average, it takes 56 days to start seeing results on the appearance of pigmentation spots. Giving the skin time to settle is the best way to keep it healthy.

ASK Dame Advice on sex and relationships from Dame Products’ clinical board member, sex therapist Dr. Holly Richmond.

Q. I WANT TO SPICE THINGS UP IN THE BEDROOM. IS THERE A RIGHT WAY TO INTRODUCE TOYS TO MY PARTNER? —Feeling Playful

Dr.Holly Richmond

The first step is communicating with your partner about your interests, and then inquiring about theirs. Leading with curiosity, rather than a complaint, is usually an ideal way to begin and helps your partner stay present and open instead of getting shut down and defensive. For example, if you say something like, “I’m interested in bringing some toys in the bedroom, just to spice things up a bit. I love _______ about our sex life but think adding a toy could make it even more fun. I’m curious what you think.” There’s no one right or best introductory toy for everyone—everybody is different, and it’s really about figuring out what you like. You may love vaginal penetration, which means finding an insertable toy, but your partner might prefer clitoral stimulation or anal play, in which case you’ll be exploring vibrators or anal plugs, perhaps. Couples’ vibrators are also a great option because they allow you to experience a mutual pleasure. Oftentimes people get really excited from seeing their partner experience pleasure, so this checks all the boxes. Things to look for in a couples’ vibrator include a product that is easy to use, comfortable, and stays in place. Dame’s Eva is a great hands-free vibe that stays exactly where it should, so your hands are able to offer other sensations to usher in even more pleasure!

Q. HOW CAN I EXPLORE MY G SPOT WITH A VIBRATOR? —New Sensations

Before any exploration begins, it’s important to create arousal or—even better—use some lube to ensure you won’t experience discomfort due to dryness. I often advise my clients to begin G spot exploration with their fingers rather than a toy, just so they have a chance to properly locate it and gently try different types of touch. The G spot is located approximately two to three inches up, towards your belly button, on the anterior vaginal wall. It will feel like a dime-sized rough spot, like the roof of your mouth. For some people with vaginas, stimulating this spot feels great and can even lead to intense pleasure, but for others, it doesn’t offer pleasure and can actually make them feel like they need to urinate. Both of these experiences with the G spot are entirely normal! If you like G-spot play, go for it. If not, there is certainly no shame in saying, “Thanks, but that’s not for me.” If you love G-spot stimulation, finding a toy—either a vibrator or dildo—that is curved so it more easily hits that anterior wall of the vagina is ideal. Dame’s Arc reaches all the right spots.

Q. I HAVE SUPER SENSITIVE SKIN THAT CAN EASILY BE IRRITATED. WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A NEW LUBE? —Touchy Subject

For sensitive skin, it’s important to stick with natural, preferably organic, ingredients. Dame’s Aloe Lube is a great option. Everyone’s skin is different, so figuring out whether you prefer silicone-based or water-based lube, or something entirely natural like coconut oil, is a purely personal choice. However, depending on what lube works for you, you’ll need to see if it is compatible with condoms. Some products can break down the material the condoms are made from, which of course defeats the purpose! 
