Face Masks: Our Team’s Favourites

We polled the Etiket team on their current favourite face masks. Here are their top picks and why they love them!

We asked our team members to share their current favourite face masks. From sheet masks to clay masks, these picks cover all skin types and needs. Read on to discover the go-to face masks our team swears by, along with a little insight into why they love them!

Ultra Purifying Clay Mask
VIVIER

“Helps with hormonal acne during “that time” of the month and for sudden acne flares. Clean feeling and helps mattify skin.”

– GENEVIÈVE, Customer Experience Coordinator
Etiket HQ, Montreal
StemYouth Mask
PRO-DERM

“Instantly lifts the skin. I love the fact that it covers the neck too. Perfect just before an event or when you simply need an instant boost of radiance and firmness.”

– ÉDOUARD, Beauty & Fragrance Advisor – Etiket Montreal
5 Minute Facial Set
TATA HARPER

“I love instant results with the least amount of work and this set combines both a cleanser and a mask that can be done in 5 minutes. I use it once a week in the bath. And not only does my skin feel and look dewy after, my pores get a nice cleanse and along with the signature Tata Harper scent (which comes from the many farm grown superfoods ingredients she includes in every product) allows me to sit back and relax (which is hard for me, even in the tub!).”

– ANNE MARIE, Boutique & Spa Director – Etiket Toronto
Hydrating Floral Mask
TATA HARPER

“A great moisturizing and plumping mask that gives me plump, glowy skin. I love using it at night, especially in winter when my skin is dry from the cold.”

– MARION, Esthetician – Etiket Montreal
Tri BioBotanical Revival Masque
ENVIRON

A favourite of two of our team members!

“This is dream skin in a bottle! I use it overnight whenever I have
an important event and my skin is glowing the next day.
My makeup looks flawless and stays put without needing
any touch ups. Can’t live without it!”

– LUIZA, Makeup Specialist – Etiket Toronto



“I always make sure I have this mask in my vanity. It leaves skin smooth, firm and lifted before an event. You can even feel the lifting benefits the next day. It’s no coincidence that it’s nicknamed “facelift in a jar”. I use it regularly, 1-2 times a week,
or whenever my skin needs a little boost.”

– KARINE, Marketing Director – Etiket HQ, Montreal
Clarity Mask
NUORI

“I adore the Nuori Clarity Mask when I feel like I need a fresh boost and deep clean, without stripping my sensitive and redness-prone skin! It’s the perfect treatment to reduce the appearance of pores and blemishes (I sometimes use it as a spot treatment as well!) and the scent is aromatic and green, and helps me reset after a long day. Because the clay texture doesn’t dry too tight or flaky, it’s the most comfortable detoxing mask.”

– MARIANNE, Fragrance Coordinator – Etiket Montreal
Holi (bright) Resurface Glass Face Mask
AGENT NATEUR

“It does exactly what it says! This mask leaves my skin feeling super clean, smooth and radiant. I love to do this before an event or when I want my skin to look extra good, as it reduces the appreance of my pores drastically. Perfect to get that ‘glass skin’ effect that’s trending on socials right now!”

– AMÉLIE, Skincare Coordinator – Etiket Montreal
Supreme Moisture Mask
NUORI

“I really like this mask because it’s very moisturizing. It’s extremely comfortable on the skin and is like a cloud of relaxation. It’s not particularly fragrant, so for my very reactive skin, it’s perfect!”

– SAMUELLE, Esthetician – Etiket Montreal
Resurrection Girl Hydrating Mask
PAI SKINCARE

“This instantly hydrating mask soothes your skin, and you, in one fell swoop. I love to apply this mask post-shave because
the hyaluronic acid instantly floods the skin with moisture whilst the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of Blue Tansy Oil work synergistically to calm the skin & promote healing.”

– CIARAN, Boutique & Spa Assistant Director – Etiket Toronto
Sérum Radiant
FRENCH FARMACIE

“Sérum Radiant is a powerful, multitasking “face oil meets serum” formula to nourish, soften, balance, and boost your skin’s healthy glow. It literally does it all. Great for my senstive skin and really helped my skin barrier now that we are going into a colder season. I also love using the Élixir Exfoliant at night and then the serum with their guasha. In the morning my skin is glowing and plumped!”

– JENNY, Fragrance Specialist – Etiket Toronto

P-TIOX: New Wrinkle Modulating Peptide Serum from SkinCeuticals

Reveal Glass Skin Radiance.

SkinCeuticals‘ latest has landed on our shelves!

P-TIOX is a needle-free anti-wrinkle peptide serum proven and tested more powerful than peptide-based formulas alone to maximize anti-aging correction. P-TIOX features an advanced peptide complex with amplified Argireline and enhanced with Niacinamide, PHA & Laminaria Extract to visibly reduce 9 types of expression wrinkles, refine texture & pores, and reveal glass skin radiance. 

It can be used as an at-home solution for those not ready for injections or as an ideal complement to injections to maximize wrinkle correction in all facial areas, while also enhancing radiance and reducing texture.

Key Technology Behind the Formula

Inspired by the neuromodulator mode of action to help reduce expression lines, 
P-TIOX offers the next level of peptide formulations.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Advanced Peptide Complex

Peptides inspired by neuromodulator mechanism of action to help reduce contraction lines:

Amplified Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline)
+ Dipeptide Complex

5% PHA

Maximizes hydration while gently exfoliating to improve texture and radiance

5% Niacinamide

Strengthens the skin barrier

1% Laminaria Extract

Improves wrinkle correction

P-TIOX
SKINCEUTICALS
 
A needle-free anti-wrinkle peptide serum to reduce expression wrinkles and enhance glass skin radiance.

Science + Proof: Visible Results*

P-TIOX is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of 9 types of expression
wrinkles and reveal glass skin radiance.

After 1 week:
Visibly improves skin smoothness, refines the look of pores, and reveals glass
skin radiance

After 12 weeks:

Visibly reduces 9 types of expression wrinkles, even those neuromodulators
generally do not treat:

• Nasolabial folds

• Forehead wrinkles

• Glabellar wrinkles

• Crow’s feet wrinkles

• Cheek folds wrinkles

• Marionette wrinkles

• Dynamic under-eye wrinkles

• Inter-ocular wrinkles

• Global fine lines

68% improvement in expression lines

27% improvement in radiance

29% improvement in smoothness

42% reduction in pore appearance

32% improvement in elasticity

36% improvement in firmness

*A 12-week, single center clinical study was conducted on 75 females with Fitzpatrick type I-VI, (50% of subject with sensitive skin), ages 25-55 and mild to moderate wrinkles, fine lines, pore appearance, rough skin texture evaluated by dermatologist. Efficacy evaluations were conducted at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8 and week 12.

P-TIOX + Neuromodulator Injectables

Although neuromodulator injectables are the standard for reducing contraction lines, some areas of the face are generally more difficult to inject. When paired together, neuromodulator injectables and P-TIOX work synergistically to reduce wrinkles through multiple mechanisms, thereby reducing the contraction lines in different areas of the face that neuromodulators alone do not treat. Physician-tested with neuromodulator injectables, P-TIOX maximizes wrinkles correction, while simultaneously improving texture and radiance.

How to Use

Step 1: Prep + Dispense

Twice daily, apply 4-6 drops of the anti-wrinkle serum to the palm of the hand and dab onto the forehead, cheeks and chin.

Step 2: Apply + Complete

Blend the product into the skin. When using in the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and before a SkinCeuticals moisturizer and sunscreen. When using at night, apply before a SkinCeuticals moisturizer.

Your P-TIOX Morning Routine

STEP 1: PREVENT with CE Ferulic

Vitamin C Serum for fine lines and wrinkles.

STEP 2: CORRECT with P-TIOX

Needle-free peptide serum for expression lines and glass skin radiance.

STEP 3: CORRECT with A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced

A remarkable anti-wrinkle cream.

STEP 4: PROTECT with Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50

A zinc oxide mineral tinted sunscreen for your face.

10 Skincare Tips for Fall

Here are 10 tips to help you take good care of your skin this season.

Fall is an important transition period, with skin subjected to temperature variations and drier air. With less exposure to the sun, it’s also a good time to start a new routine to address a specific condition or correct traces left by the sun.

Here are 10 tips to help you take good care of your skin this season:

1. Hydration

Look for moisturizers with richer formulas to prevent dryness or dehydration. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and natural oils are ideal. Also, remember to hydrate from the inside out with adequate daily water intake.

The Rich Cream
AUGUSTINUS BADER
Face Cream Rich
DR. BARBARA STURM

2. Gentle Cleansing

Use a mild cleanser to avoid further drying. Avoid alcohol-based products, which can aggravate dryness.

Middlemist Seven Camellia & Rose Gentle Cream Cleanser
PAI SKINCARE
Superkind Softening Cleanser 
TATA HARPER

3. Exfoliation

Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, but don’t overdo it. Choose gentle exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or enzymes. Bear in mind, however, that exfoliating ingredients such as AHAs and BHAs can be aggressive to the skin. While they have many benefits, they can also increase sensitivity, irritation and redness. During the autumn months, when skin is already undergoing many changes, it may be time to reduce the use of chemical exfoliants and other powerful active ingredients. This is the time to take a break from intense treatments and focus on moisturizing and protecting the skin. You can continue to use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week, but avoid overusing it.

Superkind Radiance Mask
TATA HARPER
Micro-Peel AHA Masque
PRO-DERM

4. Nourishing Serums

Incorporate an antioxidant-rich serum (such as one with vitamin C) to protect your skin from free radicals and boost its radiance.

Serum C 10% M2PE
PRO-DERM
CE Peptides Serum
VIVIER

5. Sun Protection

Even in autumn, it’s essential to use sunscreen. UV rays can damage the skin, even on cloudy days. We recommend it 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Holi (sun) SPF 50 Dewy Tinted Skin Drops
AGENT NATEUR
Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50

6. Lips & Hands

Don’t forget to protect your lips with a moisturizing balm and your hands with a rich cream, especially after washing or before going to bed, for plumped-up lips and soft hands when you wake up.

Vital Hand Cream
NUORI
The Dream Slip No2
SARA HAPP

7. Nutrition

Eat a diet rich in omega-3s, fruits and vegetables to nourish your skin from the inside out.

8. Targeted Treatments

Incorporate active ingredients to address your main concerns, such as dark spots, redness, sagging, wrinkles or fine lines.

9. Personalized Routine

Listen to your skin’s needs and adjust your routine accordingly. Every skin reacts differently to seasonal changes. Consult skincare professionals to help you build your routine and choose the right ingredients for optimal results. They will also be able to give you precise indications on how to integrate new ingredients without pronounced side effects.

10. Professional Treatment

There’s nothing like a professional skincare treatment with active ingredients to get a new skincare routine off on the right foot. A crucial step towards clear, blackhead-free, deeply cleansed skin. The professional who performs your skincare routine will also have a very precise idea of your skin’s needs, and will be able to give you their best recommendations. Discuss which tools to use at home (ZIIP, LED mask, micro-needling, gua sha, cryo sticks…) to maintain results at home.

By following these tips, you’ll maximize your efforts to keep your skin soft and radiant during the autumn season. Discover all our Fall Favourites.

Retinol Focus With Environ

Vitamin A: The gold standard in professional skincare.

Retinol, a powerhouse ingredient in the skincare world, has been making waves for decades. But what exactly is retinol and how to best use it? We’ll explore how to harness its power and introduce you to Environ’s two new retinol additions to their Focus Care Youth+® Range.

What Is Retinol?


From a chemical point of view, retinol is accepted as the basic form of vitamin A, because it is the smallest molecule of vitamin A and metabolizes into retinyl esters, retinaldehyde and, eventually, retinoic acid.

If you are looking for the following improvement to your skin overall healthier-looking skin, retinol might be for you:

– overall healthier-looking skin

– resilient skin

– improved appearance and texture of photo-aged skin

– improvement in blemish-prone areas

– a more even skin tone

Environ’s Decades-Long Research

For more than 40 years, it’s been Dr Des Fernandes’ life’s work researching vitamin A’s impact on skin health, expanding the intricate understanding of what happens to skin biologically and chronologically through life.

Science proves that the biological age of skin is vitally dependant on maximizing vitamin A micronutrition. The solid base of research supports Environ’s skincare philosophy and vitamin A as the key driver of skin longevity.

Dr Des Fernandes, Founder of Environ and world-leading Plastic Surgeon explains:

The root cause of unhealthy skin is a vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is the normalizer of skin cell activity, which is why it is the cornerstone ingredient in our professional skincare philosophy. Cellular ageing is not fixed to the pace of chronological time – it can be sped up and slowed down. All the information needed to prolong the health span of skin lies within our skin cells, and where the skin can do the job itself, Environ doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Our unique algorithm supports the skin’s natural processes to achieve the desired result.”

New Environ Retinol Serums

Environ’s two new intensifying Retinol Serums are recommended as add-on boosters to daily vitamin A topical replenishment, introduced when the skin is acclimated to medium or high concentrations of vitamin A.

These fragrance-free serums are clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, firmness, elasticity, hydration, skin tone and texture, working synergistically with the skin’s natural processes to affect a safe, effective, and balanced range of natural retinoic acid stimulation.

The new formulations intelligently combine retinol plus other retinoid forms to optimize the effects of natural retinoic acid on youthful cellular behaviour. Potent antioxidants assist in diminishing the effects of oxidative stress. Additional specialized boosters promote natural moisturizing properties and skin barrier resilience.

Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum
ENVIRON

Environ’s Retinol Serum booster advances the skin benefits of vitamin A micronutrition to promote skin longevity and overall youthful radiance. Retinol Serum combines retinol with 2 other retinoid forms, plus added antioxidants and barrier-boosting ingredients to advance the skin’s protection against oxidative stress and barrier resilience.

This light, quick-absorbing serum contains a tri-retinoid complex:
Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Propionate, and Retinol in a stable colloidal serum concentrate.
Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum Forte
ENVIRON

Retinol Serum Forte is a step-up retinol booster to be introduced when skin is comfortable with Environ’s Retinol Serum. This serum intensifies the benefits of vitamin A micronutrition for the skin with additional phyto-retinol boosters; Revinage® and NovoRetin™. These specialized ingredients assist to further promote overall skin longevity and youthfulness.

This light, quick-absorbing serum contains a tri-retinoid complex:
Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Propionate, and Retinol in a stable colloidal serum concentrate with the addition of the retinoid effect boosters Revinage® and NovoRetin™.

Ingredient Science

The New Tri-Retonoid Complex Retinol Serum and Retinol Serum Forte’s powerful formulation include:

Key Vitamin A Molecules – Tri-Retinoid
– Glycine Soya (Soybean) Oil, Retinol (Retinol) – vitamin A
– Retinyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Retinyl Palmitate) – vitamin A
– Retinyl Propionate, BHT (Retinyl Propionate) – vitamin A

Key Antioxidant Molecules
– Solanum Lycospersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract (IBR-TCLC®) – antioxidant
– Inula Helenium (Elecampane) Extract (IBR-UrBioTect®) – antioxidant

Serum Forte additionally contains the following Retinoid Effect Boosters:
– Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil (Revinage®) – plant-based alternative to retinol
– Aqua/Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Pistacia Lentiscus (Mastic) Gum, Lecithin, Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate (NovoRetin™) – boost naturally occurring retinoic acid in the skin

How to Use


NOTE
Retinol Serum may be introduced once the skin is comfortable with daily application of medium to high levels of vitamin A.
Step up from Retinol Serum to Retinol Serum Forte only once the skin is fully acclimated to Retinol Serum.


Pre-cleanse, cleanse, tone with your preferred Environ products.

Application:

1. Introduce Retinol Serum by adding one drop of the serum to your Environ vitamin A moisturizer, 2-3 evenings per week.

2. Once tolerated:

• Gradually increase the amount of serum until one full pump can be used.

• Gradually increase the frequency of the application until it can be used every evening.

3. Slowly enhance the activity of the skincare routine.

Add one extra step at a time:

Clinically Tested

These intelligent combinations of ingredients work with the skin’s natural processes and have been clinically trialled and proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, firmness, elasticity, and skin texture.

Environ’s clinical trials showed a statistically significant improvement in the biomechanical properties of the skin at 56 days*, and the longer you remain invested, the better the skin will be.

*Retinol Serum Forte

REMEMBER, IT’S A JOURNEY, NOT A RACE!

Environs’ Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum and Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum Forte are now available at Etiket.ca.

What the Etiket Team is Gifting for Mother’s Day

Some of our team members share their top Mother's Day picks!

As you probably know by now, Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Do you know what you’re getting your mom? To help conjure up some inspiration, we’ve asked our team to share what they’ll be gifting their mom this Mother’s Day. Here are a few of their suggestions.

No one lights up a room quite like Jill, so a pop of pink on the lip is the perfect gift. Tata Harper’s lip creme in Bubbly is chic, bright, and luxurious. Just like you Mum!
JULES, Makeup Coordinator, Etiket Toronto
“Just like this fragrance, my mom has always been warm, inviting, sweet and bubbly. Not to mention, fragrance has been something special we’ve bonded over since I was a little girl!”
KYLA, Makeup Specialist, Etiket Toronto
“I’ve decided to gift my mom this scent because it reminds me of her favourite lemon ginger tea. We’re going to Curaçao to celebrate Mother’s Day so a fresh tropical scent is perfect for the occasion.”
JESSE, Fragrance Specialist, Etiket Toronto
“My mom believed the first thing people noticed about you is your smile, and she loved to smile! She also loved a long-lasting lip gloss, just like Wonderblush’s lip oil in geranium (which is also her favourite flower).”
ANNE MARIE, Boutique & Spa Director, Etiket Toronto
“I’d say practicality is my mom’s last name! She loves small and easy-to-use products, so a little palette like the RMS Lip2Cheek has everything that she needs for a pop of colour in her makeup!”
LUIZA, Makeup Specialist, Etiket Toronto
“My mom’s beauty routine isn’t complete without her lipstick! The ILIA Color Block Lipstick in Rosette is the perfect soft burgundy for her fair complexion, blue eyes and silver hair.”
MEREDITH, Skincare Specialist, Etiket Toronto
“After smelling this alluring scent, it reminded me so much of my Mom and the aura she projects. It really feels like a big hug from her. Growing up a Mama’s boy, I would always witness her wanting to smell the most unique fragrances and she always wore scents that were fruity, bold and captivating. Opus Kore is a scent that I find embodies the core of who my Mom is.”
ALLAN, Fragrance Coordinator, Etiket Toronto
“For as long as I can remember, my mother has used a body moisturizer every day after showering, and almost every year on Mother’s Day, I gift her one. She likes the creamy versions, which moisturize deeply but are quickly absorbed. This year, I’ll be introducing her to Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Body Cream. I’m sure she’ll love it!”
KARINE, Marketing Director, Etiket HQ, Montreal
“When I think of my mother, I dream of her love of tea and floral, slightly powdery fragrances. Inlé is a cloud of osmanthus and mate, comforting and delicate like my mother. One of the first fragrances I recommended to her, and one of her favourites!”
MARIANNE, Fragrance Coordinator, Etiket Montreal
“I love this body cream, it’s so moisturizing, comfortable on the body and 100% natural. Plus with the refreshing scent of grapefruit and cucumber, it’s perfect for spring and summer!”
VERONICA, Head Makeup Artist, Etiket Montreal
“A perfect gift for moms who love skincare and that will complement their skincare routine, this red light therapy LED mask boosts collagen for smoother, plumper skin.”

From skincare and hair care to makeup and fragrance, let's delve into some of our team's current favourites, shall we?

In honour of Valentine’s Day, we asked some of our team members to share the Etiket products that captured their hearts! From skincare and hair care to makeup and fragrance, let’s delve into some of their current favourites, shall we?

Vitamin-Infused Cream Blush by Tata Harper
A natural look that is good for the skin and gives a nice boost to a dull winter complexion.

Leave-In Treatment by Rahua
I love how this nourishes the hair helping any split or dry ends recover.

Delina La Rosée EDP by Parfums de Marly
Classy, feminine and anticipating spring.


IVY
Aesthetician / Etiket Montreal

Moisturizing Lip Butter in Pink Petal by Huna

To keep my lips hydrated all day long, I love reaching for this lip butter with skin-nourishing ingredients.

La Laque Tinted Lip Oil by Wonderblush

I love this tinted lip oil as it provides shine without stickiness – it feels great on my lips!

Elixir by Viviscal Pro

This is such a great addition to my haircare routine to promote thicker-looking hair.

Sunset Hour EDP by Goldfield & Banks

It smells like summer!


SOPHIA
Beauty & Fragrance Advisor / Etiket Montreal

The Base Face Milk by ILIA

It is so light yet so hydrating and a great primer before applying makeup. It gives the most dewy and glowy look!

Lip2Cheek in Modest by RMS Beauty

It is so easy to blend, gives the most natural flush and is the perfect addition to an everyday makeup look!

Spiritualized Dry Shampoo by R+CO

I have never seen a product like this that refreshes hair without the heavy powdery feeling from usual dry shampoos. It adds volume and dimension back into my hair!

Casamorati Dama Bianca EDP by Xerjoff +
Molecule 01 + Black Tea EDT by Escentric Molecules

I have been loving Xerjoff’s Casamorati Dama Bianca layered with Escentric Molecules’ Molecule 01 + Black Tea. It has the perfect combination of sweet and fresh and is a recommendation I got from Emma, our fragrance specialist, to layer them! So gorgeous.


PAULE
Aesthetician / Etiket Montreal

Super Anti-Aging Face Cream by Dr. Barbara Sturm

This absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves the skin looking fresh, youthful and radiant.

Cream Stay Eye Shadow Stick in Keepsake by Glo Skin Beauty

This cool-toned bronze with a metallic finish looks stunning as an all-over lid colour.

Intensive Hair Oil by Sachajuan

This nourishing oil repairs while adding shine. My hair absorbs it weightlessly without leaving residue.

Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP by Maison Francis Kurkdjian

A cult classic, I can vouch for its lovely, lingering scent that will get you compliments.


GENEVIÈVE
Customer Experience Coordinator / Etiket Headquarters, Montreal

Gut Glow by Bend Beauty

Without going into details, when the digestive tract is healthy, the skin glows!

Lip Karma in Chai by Sahajan + Le Fard Blush in Framboise by Wonderblush

This Lip Karma keeps my lips hydrated and the taste is delectable, like my fave drink! I have also been loving Le Fard Blush, specifically in the shade Framboise by Wonderblush. It is long-lasting, and a little goes a long way.

Cool Wind Perfect Air-Dry Crème by R+CO

This styling creme has a lightweight texture and feel, perfect for my fine hair. No blow-drying needed!

Au Chalet Candle by Etiket

I love lighting this candle after work. It feels so cozy and relaxing.


ANNE MARIE
Boutique & Spa Director / Etiket Toronto

GrenzCine Serum by Vivier

This has been a game-changer in my routine! It has added so much plumpness to my skin and helped heal residual effects from a recent bout of atopic dermatitis.

Limitless Lash Mascara by ILIA

Most mascaras make my eyes water or they do not lengthen and volumize my very sparse lashes. This mascara has fixed all of that and the wand gets every lash.

I Don’t Know What by D.S. & Durga

Fun name and a conversation starter. Warm but not heavy, fresh but not zesty, and I get so many compliments on it.


KARINE
Marketing Director / Etiket Headquarters, Montreal

The Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader

This is the cream I’ve been reaching for this winter. It keeps my skin soothed and moisturized, without leaving it oily.

Total Eye 3-in-1 Renewal Care

This product acts as a skincare product and as a corrector for both the complexion and dark circles. A tiny amount is enough to neutralize the colour of dark circles and facial imperfections.

Biorepair Scalp & Hair Therapy Kit by Colorproof

When I was first introduced to Colorproof’s Biorepair collection, I was rather skeptical. After several months of use, I’m convinced of its effectiveness. The 3 products (and the brush) work in synergy to establish a healthy scalp and follicles, revealing thicker, fuller hair overtime.


ÉDOUARD
Beauty & Fragrance Advisor / Etiket Montreal

Derma-V by Vivier

The perfect soothing night cream to recover from retinol and acids during winter time, and it also prevents flaky dry skin! 

Le Hâle Bronzing Powder | Soleil by Wonderblush

It creates the perfect faux sunkissed look without the skin damage… always wear your SPF!

The Leave-In Hair Treatment by Augustinus Bader

It repairs and tames frizziness for a smooth look! 

Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood EDT & Molecule 01 + Patchouli EDT by Escentric Molecules

I’ve been receiving so many compliments from this mix! Getting stopped everywhere for compliments. The perfect duo to make an impression on your Valentine!

Top 5 Best Launches at Etiket in 2023

Find out about all the best launches at Etiket this past year!

At the end of the year, we always like to look back on the past 12 months. Here are the 5 launches, 4 brands and one product, that made Etiket’s Best Launches of 2023 list.

Best New Brand & Product Launches this Past Year

1. Le Rouge à Ongles:
This French brand introduces us to the neighbourhoods of Paris through each of its bottles, the latter which are the perfect size, that is, neither too big, nor too small. These make you dream of owning the entire collection, allowing you to change the colour of our nails to suit your mood.
2. Wonder Valley
This range, with its hippy, cool, underground feel, was a revelation this year. As fashionista and style queen Jenna Lyon says, this range “does some really interesting things, and I’m really excited by everything it does”. It inspires us to live a healthy, simple and effective lifestyle. A collection of products that we love to gift, over and over again!
3. The Light Salon
If you’re skeptical about those LED masks that look like they’re straight out of a horror movie, it’s because you haven’t tried them yet! The ultimate experience and spa treatment in the comfort of your own home. Both effective and relaxing, you can wear it while immersed in a good book, working (thanks to telecommuting in recent years) or watching your favourite movie.
4. Wonderblush
We always love to be presented with high-performance products, and we love them even more when they’re local. We first fell in love with the woman behind the brand, and it was when we tested her products that we realized it was a perfect match: a local brand, a lovely founder, eco-responsible packaging and formulas free from ingredients known or recognized as toxic or harmful.
5. The One Face Cream by NUORI:
This is what you would call a gem! With The One, Nuori wanted to give us THE product that would somehow become the love of our lives… or at least of our routine. It’s got it all: a unique, multi-functional formula, high-performance ingredients, it’s simple and, above all, once you’ve tried it, you don’t feel like going anywhere else. 😉 We do everything we can to have it on hand, and we replenish it as soon as the bottle is finished. No wonder it’s become NUORI’s best-seller.

Get Your Hands Winter Ready With This Routine

The founder of Le Rouge à Ongles, Elise Khettat, unveils her tips to maintain smooth and moisturized hands just in time for winter.

With the change in seasons and cold-weather here to stay, we asked the founder of Le Rouge à Ongles, Elise Khettat, to unveil her tips to maintain smooth and moisturized hands right in time for winter.

CAN YOU SHARE YOUR HAND CARE ROUTINE?

Elise Khettat — Founder of Le Rouge à Ongles

First and foremost, I believe that taking care of your hands is just as important as taking care of your face. I abide by a routine that I follow once a week and daily for soft, hydrated and plumped hands.

Each week, I treat my hands to a real moment of relaxation. After washing them thoroughly with a gentle soap, I apply the Smoothing Body Scrub from Tata Harper to dry skin. I massage them delicately for several minutes, remembering to pass over each nail in order to exfoliate the contour of the nails and rinse it off with clean water.

What I love most about this scrub is that it exfoliates dead skin away while preparing my hands to receive a manicure, and that the exfoliating particles are biodegradable. It basically does it all! 

Next, to fully unwind, I apply a thick layer of the Supreme Moisture Mask from Nuori, without forgetting the contour of my nails and my cuticles. I leave it on until absorbed.

Then, I do an oil-based self-massage on my hands. I particularly like The Body Oil from Augustinus Bader which will stimulate the functions of the skin barrier and prevent transepidermal water loss which makes the skin more sensitive to dehydration. As with the previous steps, I also massage around the nails to nourish my cuticles.

On a daily basis, I apply a moisturizing hand cream 2 to 3 times a day – or as often as my skin needs it, especially in winter as our skin tends to dry out very quickly in the cold. I recommend The Hand Treatment from Augustinus Bader as it is ultra nourishing and soothing.

And I always carry a cuticle oil that I apply several times a day. The Nail + Cuticle Creme from Huna is a very practical format to have in your pocket or bag at all times! Moisturizing your cuticles helps soften them and gently push them back for a clean nail base.

Final tip: if would like to apply nail polish following your hand care routine, remember to degrease your nails with a gentle nail polish remover, as cream or oil residue on the nails prevents the varnish from applying and lasting long-term.

FINALLY, WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE SHADES OF NAIL POLISH TO WELCOME FALL AND WINTER?

My favourite shades for this time of the year are ArsenalLuxembourg and Opéra.
