How to protect my skin from the sun?

Whether in the city or at the beach, protect your skin!

If you usually put on sun cream every time you go to the beach, it should be no different in your everyday life. Discover our advice and follow our tips!

Sun cream or SPF face cream?

Even though it does wonders for morale, the sun is far from being your skin’s best friend. Its UVA and UVB rays are harmful to skin, causing accelerated aging and the premature appearance of wrinkles. In other words: the sun is the main cause of skin aging.

To limit the risks, there’s only one thing to do: protect your skin with suitable products.

There are two types of face cream: sun care products and creams with SPF (Sun Protection Factor).

SUN CREAM: to be used whenever you’re exposed to the sun for an extended period of time.

At the beach, at a weekend barbecue or on the tennis court, that’s the product you need. It’s also the right product if your job requires you to spend your days outdoors.

You should apply a generous amount on our face, the equivalent of a teaspoon, and you also have to reapply it regularly, after swimming and after wiping yourself with a towel, for example.

CREAMS WITH SPF: to be used daily, as soon as the sun comes out.

This type of product has a dual purpose, it provides protection against sun rays while having specific benefits, such as moisturizing, firming and antipollution.

Therefore, SPF skin care should a part of your beauty routine. Apply every morning after your serum. It can replace your day cream. If you have dry skin, we recommend that you use your usual day cream and then apply the SPF product.

Our tips for beautiful, tanned skin!

Here are some tips to help you achieve a beautiful tan. They combine diet and beauty routines for a result you’ll be raving about!

  • Fill your plate with colorful foods like carrots, melons, apricots, etc. These foods contain beta carotene, which stimulates melanin synthesis. It’s the season, make the most of it! Good for the body, a colorful plate also makes your meal a joyful and appetizing experience. Enjoy!
  • Don’t forget to exfoliate regularly. This applies to both the face and body.
  • Moisturize thoroughly, either with serums or masks. Anti-aging after-sun care gives you a much-needed moisture boost.
  • Wearing a hat and sunglasses also helps to protect your skin. Don’t set aside these summer essentials!

For the more impatient ones wanting to look tanned quickly, or for those who struggle to get a tan, our Beautifying Self-Tanning Lotion is the solution. Before using it, make sure you exfoliate and moisturize your skin the day before. Apply evenly and wash your hands afterwards. Worried about streaks? Apply the self-tanner gradually, starting with a small amount of product per area. If you use self-tanner on your body, avoid the knees, elbows and heels.

Remember:

Sunscreen doesn’t prevent you from tanning!

It’s recommended to respect the expiration dates displayed on the packaging of your sun care products and to replace them every year in order to guarantee an optimal level of protection.

It also prevents nails from splitting as quickly and helps them be more resistant to everyday damage.

Apply a thin layer of the base coat and allow it to dry thoroughly for better adhesion of the polish.

Once your nails are protected, choose a Go Green color like Pearly Camelia, Black Cherry, Tangy Red, Succulent Blue, etc., the choice is yours!

Once your nail polish is dry, apply the Go Green Gel Effect Top Coat for a smooth and even finish. Formulated with 90% ingredients from natural origin, it allows you to achieve an intensified shine like a gel polish. Its texture protects your polish and makes it last longer.

Surviving Christmas 2021

Stress-free Christmas? Follow these tips & tricks!

We’re here to help you organize your Holiday season in the most stress-free way possible. Follow the guide!

This year, you are determined not to end up running the last minute Christmas shopping marathon on December 24th to get a gift for your cousin, mother-in-law, grandmother, etc. This year, you are determined not to be kept awake, night after night, by thoughts of the Christmas Eve dinner. This year, you are determined to enjoy the Holidays to the fullest.

1.

The gift that is sure to please

We always think that we’ll have enough time, and that the perfect gift will fall out of the sky and into our basket. But the reality is quite different: we end up having a nervous breakdown in the middle of the mall because we’re feeling uninspired. It’s time for a different approach: make a list, write down everything each person likes and all the Christmas gift ideas you might already have, then, go online to see what you can order. You can also get some inspiration websites or wish lists: you’ll never have to stare at a blank page again!

Remember that the wrapping is important when it comes to Christmas gifts. Customizing it is a good idea; see how fast your gifts get unwrapped! Moreover, if you add your own personal touch, everyone will know in the glimpse of an eye that it’s you who’s giving that fabulous gift.

Lastly, take this opportunity to choose gifts that would make you happy: why not create your own Holiday gift wish list board on Pinterest and share it with your loved ones? This year you could avoid keeping gifts you dare not get rid of or wasting time reselling them online after the Holidays 😉

It’s also important to know when you’ll see the people you’re giving gifts to: whose place are you going over first? Since it’s Christmas, partying with friends is also on the agenda!

2.

The meal that will revive the taste buds

Every time Christmas comes around, the same two universal questions get asked: does Santa Claus really exist and what are we going to eat? Traditional, vegetarian, fish or world cuisine? What will your Christmas Eve dinner be like? And if you’re hosting that night, thinking about your menu ahead of time allows you to test recipes and have a much more serene approach to cooking on D-day. If you’re hesitating between two dishes remember that New Year’s Day is only a few days later.

You went overboard? Your eyes were bigger than your stomach? There’s no need to panic and certainly no need to waste! Plan on having doggy bags to give to your guests, they’ll get another chance to enjoy your delicious meal and that way, make Christmas Eve last a little longer.

3.

The decorations that dazzle

Buying decorations can be expensive and we don’t always find what we’re looking for. Create your own little Christmas workshop is a great way to get your loved ones involved and make your own personal and inexpensive decorations!

 

Nature embraces the Holidays so why not put it front and center inside? You can paint branches to decorate the dining table, create an at-home terrarium, gather pine cones to embellish dishes, make tinsels and Christmas ornaments for the tree… Anything goes! For those in need of inspiration, here are a few DIY ideas, consider them a gift!

Outside, it is, of course, possible to adorn trees and plants with beautiful tinsels to brighten up your entryway. A small box tree Christmas wreath on your door will have you smile every time you walk in or out your place! It’s worth noting that you should plug the tinsels with lightbulbsto a timer or a multi-socket switch to avoid forgetting the lights on all night long.

The must: solar-powered tinsels!

4.

The height of your health

For you to look as radiant as you possibly can on the 24th, make sure to get some rest and relaxation. Of course, it’s out of the question for you to miss your weekly workout or wellness break for a last-minute shopping spree. If you follow our advice, you’ll be all set already.

 

Make sure to book an appointment at a spa for a true break. In case you get tired, take a moment to relax with an invigorating herbal tea and treat yourself to a nap.

What are your plans to get all your preparations done as smoothly as possible?

Our Ingredient Glossary

Find out all about the ingredients that go into our products

Want to know absolutely everything there is to know about our products? It’s possible! Check out the Ingredient Glossary!

During your daily skincare routine, you ask yourself what makes your moisturizer so effective yet feel so good on your skin. It’s the formula, of course! You turn over your product and read the ingredient list, but you likely don’t know them all: some seem familiar to you, while others have super complicated names!

Let’s figure it all out with the ingredient glossary!

In order to be transparent, Yves Rocher has striven to be as clear as possible on the composition of its products over the past few years. Each ingredient in each product is selected with the utmost care. The goal of the glossary is to catalogue all the ingredients that compose our formulas and explain their purpose.

In the composition list of each product, natural ingredients are written in green and the safe synthetic ingredients, which guarantee the safe preservation of your products, are listed in brown.

When no natural alternative is possible, the use of synthetic ingredients is necessary to ensure the effectiveness, safety and pleasant texture of our products.

The synthetic ingredients that we use are all compliant with and authorized by European Regulations and evaluated by the Raw Material Department. A rigorous selection process is carried out based on essential criteria: origin, traceability, impact on the environment (biodegradability/ecotoxicity), and safety for skin.

We have banned the use of 300 ingredients, in addition to the 1300 that have already been prohibited by European Regulations. This requirement is based on our brand commitments and a safety evaluation of the ingredients, regularly updated by our scientists.

Just as with ingredients from natural origin, which make up 81% of the Raw Material made available to our formulators, we validate the safety of our synthetic ingredients to the very end of product development. This ensures that our formulas can be properly tolerated through a series of tests before putting our finished products on the market.

It’s only when they successfully pass all these tests that we consider these synthetic ingredients safe.

Let’s use the 48H Non-Stop Moisturizing Gel Cream from the Hydra Vegetal product line as an example!

When you visit a product page, you will see a tab for the product description and another for the ingredient list. Below that, you’ll discover a space reserved for a focus on the main botanical ingredient, and in this case, it’s the Edulis cellular water, which is renowned for its ability to capture water and retain it in its leaves.

We developed a formulation that guarantees the Gel Cream is effective, pleasant to apply thanks to its texture, and safely preservable.  

With the exception of face care, formulation information can be found in the ingredient glossary.

After reading the ingredient list, you’ll be able to find details about each ingredient in the glossary.

By clicking on the glossary, you’ll be taken to the ingredient catalogue for all of our products. There are thousands. Find out more about our plants, preservatives, and other stabilizing agents. Search two ways: by sorting alphabetically or using the search bar at the top of the glossary!

 

You’ll then be able to learn everything there is to know about the purpose of both our natural and synthetic ingredients.

Nothing is left to chance!

Protect your skin from pollution!

Protect your skin from pollution!

Our skin is exposed to several external aggressions on a daily basis: UV rays, stress, pollution… Discover our tips and tricks to get a real breath of fresh air and STOP pollution before it gets to your skin!

Is pollution visible on your skin? Put a STOP to it!

Our daily lives overexpose us to stress factors like pollution, which accelerate skin aging! How? Natural aging is an unavoidable physiological process. The "youthfulness" of our genetic makeup is largely defined from birth but our lifestyles, habits and immediate environment are skin aging accelerators that increase tenfold the harmful effects of time on our organism, and more particularly on our skin.

For example, the pollution you see on the cotton pad you used during your nightly facial cleansing routine prevents skin from breathing properly. Therefore, it is essential to repair damages to your skin and to protect it in order for it to stay radiant!

3 key steps to fight pollution

1. Cleanse

For those always in a rush, go straight to the basics: start by washing your face, it’s the first beauty step! Choose the Cleansing Micellar Water that detoxifies and cleanses in a single step.

2. Breathe

Give your skin a beauty break, there’s a series of exercises you can do in the comfort of your home. Smooth your face with the palms of your hands, and then trace a large eight around your eyes. Then, draw a pyramid shape on your forehead and apply light pressure along your eyelids. Lastly, use two fingers to gently move your eyebrows toward your forehead.

3. Repair

If you feel like that your skin lacks oxygen, looks dull and asphyxiated, the Elixir Jeunesse Essence combined with the Restructuring Day Care are a real detox treatment! Enriched witth Ahploia, a plant from Madagascar, known for its ability to repair and protect. Moreover, their formulas are mineral oil free, silicone free, paraben free and colorant free!

 

And, to get a deep anti-pollution treatment, make an appointment at your Yves Rocher Spa!

With its dual anti-pollution and repair action, this treatment is perfect for any skin showing signs of stress and pollution. And, just like at home, the steps are as follows: cleansing with the Botanical Peeling, well-being bubble treatment and concentrated serum with an Aphloia extract.

Louise and her Rooftop Garden

Cultivating plants hydroponically on Parisian rooftops… is entirely possible!

Cultivating plants hydroponically on Parisian rooftops… is entirely possible! Get to know Louise and her fresh aromatic herbs, a source of inspiration for our meals.

If you would be well served, serve yourself: it’s the philosophy that Louise, co-founder of Aéromates, chose to adopt. Not able to find what she wanted in the Parisian spice markets, she decided to cultivate some, in an ecologically and practical manner, on rooftops. So, she operates unused spaces to grow all sorts of plants and supplies surrounding neighborhoods. She is aware that urban agriculture will never take the place of rural agriculture but she believes that both can coexist in a beneficial manner.

Wishing Trees

Today, 10 years later, 70 million trees have already been planted!

The Yves Rocher Foundation - Institut de France has already planted 70 million trees thanks to the support of the Yves Rocher Brand and its customers, THANK YOU!

Forêt

It all started with a slightly foolish dream... Let us tell you the beautiful story of the Plant for the Plant program.

Once upon a time, during one of his many travels, a man named Jacques Rocher, the son of Yves Rocher, met Wangari Maathai, a woman who will deeply touch his life and the lives of millions of people. It was during the 90s in Kenya, where she had been fighting against the degradation of the environment, conflicts and poverty for the past 20 years. How?  By planting trees with the help of Kenyans who came to give their support.

This incredible woman was the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in 2004 with more than 30 million trees planted at last count. And well beyond planting seeds to grow trees, she planted them in the hearts of people, which is especially true for Jacques. He created the Yves Rocher Foundation Plant for the Planet program following a tree plantation.

Today, 10 years later, 70 million trees have already been planted! And all this is possible because of you who choose to buy partner products of this operation, register for a loyalty card, use reusable bags… so THANK YOU! This story isn’t over yet but the happy ending certainly is a real one!

The Yves Rocher Brand, sponsor of the Yves Rocher Foundation since 25 years old, is very proud of supporting, with its customer and collaborator communities throughout the world, plantation programs. Thank you.

DIY: Christmas Terrarium

The forest is inviting itself over!

Make your own Christmas terrarium and bring the magic of the underbrush into your home!

1/

Material:

  • Natural elements: moss, pine tree branches, small pine cones…
  • Decorating elements you can find in your Christmas stock or the kids’ room: plastic animal toys, mini pine trees…
  • Tinsel
  • A large glass container (vase, candy box, bowl, candle holder...)
2/

Place the moss on the bottom of the bowl. You can order it from a florist or get it straight from a forest. You need very little. In order for it to stay green, spray it on a regular basis and it will last for a very long time (needless to say that you should remove the tinsel before doing so!).

 

 

3/

Install the botanical elements (real or artificial). Choose plants that are rather robust like the pine or pine tree so the arrangement lasts over time.

4/

Place the plastic animals. You can also spray paint them, if you chose a particular color scheme for your Christmas table or decorations.
