Connection
BEAUTY
I attended the Global Wellness Summit in Italy last fall, and have been thinking about what wellness really means in our time. I heard many speakers including an architect talking about the effect of visual surroundings on our well-being, to a mind-body expert on the impact of meditation on wellness, but it occurred to me that wellness today is about human connection. In real life, we don’t actually have 300 friends. And those DMs or texts don’t make up for something more meaningful. This has made me realize how lucky I am to be in our community of people – the beauty industry, and specifically the professional side of it– where we connect daily with our clients, whether through the touch of a facial, listening to what’s going on in their lives or helping them become the best version of themselves. The theme of this issue is “connection” and we explore the physical link between our skin and the rest of the body and celebrate the legacy of Biologique Recherche’s unique methodology.

CONNECTING OUR SKIN & OUR SOULS
“Biologique Recherche was the perfect fit for my philosophy of skin health. Their products are like a macrobiotic diet for the skin, helping it find its perfect balance and the results speak for themselves.” Colette Yeomans Owner & Skin Therapist Clarité Wellness Vancouver
Colette Yeomans is the founder of Clarité Wellness, located on Vancouver's Granville Island, specializing in holistic skin care and has taken the field of aesthetics – and connection – to another level through her use of etiotherapy. Etiotherapy recognizes that stress and trauma can affect all the organs of the body, especially our skin. Bringing awareness to these causation factors can lead to the healing of psychological and physiological imbalance. Colette's techniques help reveal the root cause of that imbalance – as she puts it "that which our conscious minds are unaware of” – to help release stress and improve both physical and mental well-being. Not only will your skin look visibly improved, you will feel released, lighter, and more connected to yourself. This is not your average facial. And it's no wonder that she has an 8-month waiting list. We recently spoke to Colette to get a better understanding of the connection between our skin and psychological wellness.
living beauty | issue 6 | page 4
Mariam White: How do you explain etiotherapy and its connection to skin care? Colette Yeomans: “Etio” means root or to identify the cause of a problem and this enables us to identify an issue and process it. It's easy for an esthetician to say you have a digestive issue, but my interest is why specifically it is happening, which can be the result of recent or familial trauma that has overloaded the client. By making this connection during our treatments we are able to release or process these issues in a safe way that ultimately leads to an improvement in their overall wellness and appearance. While I pull from traditional Chinese medicine and aspects of this therapy in my holistic facial treatments, etiotherapy itself is booked as a separate appointment.
M: How do you break this down to the
cellular level? C: What Eastern cultures have known forever is that the cell holds information for seven generations. So when we talk about the cell being able to receive information, events like trauma or abuse are stored somewhere in the body and it can take generations to even start processing this. So, what I focus on is holding space to process stagnation and helping to release these blocks. Trauma can be as simple as having to move when you are a child or a bad breakup in your teens. We generally don’t take time to look at how this can effect us and it often surprises people when I point out how it’s expressed itself in the skin. When the block is processed the skin changes, it’s fascinating.
M: What is it about your use of intuition
that enables you to create a connection
living beauty | issue 6 | page 5
with your clients? C: I was afraid to show my intuition for a long time, but understanding how the body perceives information is quite logical. Wherever I am in the world training with other esthetician’s everyone identifies with some level of intuition. There’s just a connection that comes from having your hands on someone, you just know things and it doesn't mean you immediately recognize their traumatic past or their story but we can read the skin in an interesting way.
M: What does the brain-skin connection
mean to you and how do you incorporate this in into your facial? C: We know for the skin to heal the body needs to be in a rest and digest state. When you do proper lymphatic drainage massage the body goes into a parasympathetic state and often the brain can go into a theta allowing deep relaxation and regeneration to occur in the skin. This also allows for better product penetration and absorption. The brain, the body and the skin are not separate, everything shows on the face. It’s our willingness to hold space for the story and digest it that brings lasting changes to the skin. This can be done through yoga, meditation or even intentionally listening to your body and mind while simply walking around. Estheticians should never talk about trauma or assume they know something if they don’t. Etiotherapy is a separate treatment that people sign up for when they are ready to go deep. For an esthetician in a facial there’s no need to start rambling too much, that’s not why they are there, but an awareness and empathy while touching the skin can go far.
Founder’s Story
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF: James Read
living beauty | issue 6 | page 6
UK-based tanning expert James Read leads a very full and busy life of travel, brainstorming new products, and finding the best vegan burger in every city he travels to. As the founder of James Read Tan, his mission is to change the world’s perception of tanning. And based on how his products work, his star-studded client list, and how he successfully combines the benefits of luxury skincare with a natural golden tan, it’s no wonder he is recognized as the top tan influencer. We peaked inside James’ iCal to find out what a typical day looks like for this tanning ambassador.
7:00am A morning coffee to start the day. Once I have a coffee my creative mind starts working and I check my emails and do a social media scan. I follow a lot of people including Charlotte Tilbury, Josh Wood, Sophy Robson, Sarah Chapman, Adam Reed, and of course The Principle Brands.
2:00pm I spend a lot of the afternoon meeting media and influencers for tanning demos to keep me on my toes. Not only does this get our brand attention, I can get valuable feedback on what they and their followers are looking for.
9:30am Brain storm session with our team in Wales to work on new products for the coming year. We do our best to create products that represent our brand values of easy to use products. I’m living right now for the launch of our new Sleep Mask Tan with Retinol this year.
5:00pm A quick change and then out for drinks with our brand manager to work on the social media plan for the following week. I like the Sanderson Social’s long bar in London, they make great cocktails and it’s where I launched my salon 10 years ago!
living beauty | issue 6 | page 7
1:00pm Having a vegan burger at Honest Burgers in London. The Beyond Meat burger tastes just like a real beef burger!
9:30pm Getting ready for bed and tonight I’m using the Sleep Mask Tan Body, which contains Hyaluronic Acid and Algae Extract, to help preserve my tan and keep me looking bronzer for longer. I prefer using this at night and washing it off in the morning.
BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE FOREVER “EN VOGUE” The Timelessness of a 40-Year Old Brand
living beauty | issue 6 | page 8
living beauty | issue 6 | page 9
L’Ambassade de la Beauté, Biologique Recherche’s flagship spa in Paris
Biologique Recherche’s popularity amongst the world’s top skin care therapists has taken the brand from beauty’s best kept secret to a cult-like following that globally commands wait lists for its highly coveted and effective products. While it may seem like a new brand to some, their longevity is here to stay as they continue to write a unique and visionary page in the history of high-end personalized skin care. Founded in Paris by husband and wife team Yvan and Josette Allouche, a biologist and a physiotherapist, they developed a unique methodology for professionals who were dissatisfied with existing products and traditional facials. Over forty years later their approach to beauty care is the same today as it was when it started: investing in their core values, education and product development, and using only intentionally pure, concentrated, raw ingredients. And they remain a family business, with Yvan’s son Philippe, a doctor, reinforcing their holistic approach, viewing the skin as an organ directly interconnected to all the other vital body functions. He is joined by two partners, Pierre-Louis Delapalme and Rupert Schmid, who have expanded the brand’s reach to over 70 countries but also keep their family-feel by maintaining deep connections with BR Professionals around the globe and travelling most of the year to visit them. living beauty | issue 6 | page 10
We spoke with co-owner and CEO, Pierre-Louis Delapalme, about the brand’s longevity and celebrating 5 years in Canada.
What is the most positive part of being so popular today, and how do you maintain your cult status? We are of course proudly investing in training and research, developing our partnerships in a very selective way will remain our focus. BR is often the industry contrarian, why has this worked over the years? Probably because we never look at competition and what the industry is doing, but always focus on consumer needs, feed-back from our business partners, and sound scientific research findings. Now that you are in over 70 countries, how do you maintain the family feel to your brand? We, business owners, and our export team, are spending 2/3 of our time in countries visiting and connecting with customers, and we organize regional meetings more than 8 times per year. Keeping the relationship alive, in a physical way, is key for us.
Biologique Recherche Founders Yvan and Josette Allouche with their son and Head of Creation, Dr. Philippe Allouche
What makes BR so social media and editorial friendly? Probably the fact that there is a real, long and passionate story underpinning Biologique Recherche. It remains an independently owned family business, and we have great customer “skin instant” stories to share. It has been over 10 years since you purchased the business, what has been the biggest challenge from your growth? Where will the brand be in another 10 years? The biggest challenge was to take enough time to fully understand the brand, its DNA before building growth plans, and finding the right people to build the growth! In 10 years, we only hope to be better at what we do.
The brand’s co-owners Dr. Philippe Allouche, Rupert Schmid and Pierre-Louis Delapalme
What do you look for in your country partners? A passion for exclusive brands, expertise in the professional cosmetic field… and a personal fit between us. Biologique Recherche is celebrating 5 years in Canada this year, have you noticed something unique about our country? We find in Canada highly educated, trained and skilled therapists, with some having been educated abroad. This is what makes Canada different. What also helps boost the level are the high expectations from customers, who are more and more aware and demanding on advice, treatments, and results. living beauty | issue 6 | page 11

NANA ROLLER 2.0 Make Your Skin Radiant with our newly upgraded Jade Roller Often times a lack of radiance in your skin can be due to fluid buildup and stagnation, but the newly upgraded Nana Glow with It jade roller is an efficient way to improve circulation and assist with lymphatic drainage to brighten your skin. Our newest version uses a custom designed and weighted stone, which helps to easily and gently push fluid without adding extra pressure to the handle. The larger stone is used for cheeks, jaw and forehead, while the smaller stone is used around your eye contour. The type of jade we chose acts similar to the cold conductivity of marble, which helps absorb the heat away from the skin to calm inflammation, redness, and sensitivity. It's been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to increase radiance and promote a sense of balance, calmness and well-being. To use, apply gentle strokes in an upward motion around your jaw line (never a back-and-forth rolling motion) and then short strokes down your neck because the lymph naturally drains downwards. And then work with your facial structure upwards and then gently down around your ear. It may also be used on your shoulder or neck to help relieve tension. It can be used on its own or with serums, oils, or sheet masks and store in the fridge for enhanced cooling. To clean, gently wipe down with rubbing alcohol.
