Be beautiful right down to your fingertips!
Two weeks before the holidays, file your nails with a nail file (glass if possible, as it minimises the risk of split nails). Exfoliate your hands with your favourite body scrub using circular movements. Pay particular attention to nail contours in order to remove dry skin and soften cuticles. Using an orange stick, push back softened skin and cuticles. If your nail contours are extremely damaged, apply a few drops of Essential lipid elixir to the cuticle for a soothing and softening effect. Buff your nails with a double sided buffer to enhance shine and eliminate ridges and other irregularities. End by applying a generous amount of Velvet hand cream for soft.

On Christmas Eve, apply a transparent base coat to nails and follow with framboise Rock nail polish. For a shimmering effect, end with a coat of Or baroque nail polish.

And if you don’t get the chance to relax and put your feet up because you are in the kitchen cooking, don’t forget to wear gloves to protect your hands!

To beautifully dazzle during the Christmas holiday season, Sothys has chosen to share its beauty ritual with you so that your face will shine with luminosity!

The make-up removal and cleansing phases are the secret to a radiant face and applying an eye contour cream daily will add radiance to your eyes.

Apply a Hydrating ampoule to skin daily, and follow up morning and evening with Energizing cream on the entire face, neck and décolleté to restore radiance and luminosity to your skin.

The Sothys tip: two weeks before the holidays, get an Energizing intensive treatment in a beauty institute to deeply cleanse your skin and restore radiance and luminosity.

Each week, perform the following ritual: scrub + mask over the entire face, neck and décolleté, avoiding the eye contour. This ritual will drain toxins from deep within your skin. Your face will be clearer, more even-toned and a bit more radiant day after day!

The day before Christmas Eve, go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep so that you will wake up to a fresh and well-rested complexion.

To beautifully dazzle during the holiday season, emphasise your hairstyle, make-up and the little black dress that you’ll be wearing! However, it is important to not forget a key area: the décolleté! Sothys offers you special tips for a naturally beautiful décolleté.

First step: hydration. The thin layer of skin that covers the décolleté easily becomes dry as it contains very few sebaceous glands.

The Sothys tip: Apply a Toning cream enriched with firming and tightening active ingredients.

The day before Christmas Eve, exfoliate the bust area using gentle upward circular strokes, avoiding the nipple area. End your shower with a cold rinse.

On Christmas Eve, apply Shimmering oil to your décolleté for optimal beauty enhancement. Then, lightly add shade to your cleavage area with the Illuminating trio in order to create the appearance of a more plunging neckline.
