While making high quality skincare products that deliver the essential micronutrients for skin health is complicated, some are appropriately DIY. Bath salts fall into this category. Taking a warm bath with salts is a smart way to improve circulation, which benefits all internal organs and pathways of elimination — especially the skin! In fact, boosting your circulation via exercise, proper hydration, eating well, and yes, taking a warm bath, has a positive effect on your overall systemic health. 

At Marie Veronique, we talk so often about how to get and keep your skin healthy that we thought it would be helpful to take a step back and share some fundamental information about the skin. After all, if you want to understand how our products work, it’s helpful to understand how the skin works. 

This overview of the structure and function of the skin may take you back to your high school biology days (no passing notes!), but we’ll try to keep it on the interesting side. 

Having a glowing complexion is a wonderful thing! However, it’s important to realize that while beauty may be your primary motivator for adopting smart skin care practices, the reasons to take care of your skin go far beyond looking good. As part of our ongoing series of articles with basic information about the skin, in this post we’ll go over some of the reasons taking good care of it is critical to overall wellness.

Having healthy, beautiful skin means different things for each person, and requires a holistic approach that takes into consideration your skin and health history, as well as your current skin state and significant influences from your everyday life. As with anything health related, there’s a certain amount of self-discovery necessary if you want to make impactful changes that support healthy skin function and symptom-free skin.

Marie Veronique products are designed to repair, restore, and protect the skin from unavoidable stressors in the environment that everyone experiences. In LA, that typically includes photodamage (damage from the sun and other sources of UV light), arid climate, and pollution.

 

The turn of the season is a great time to assess your skin’s overall level of health. Much like changes in the weather, changes in the skin are your body's way of guiding you to figure out how to better support yourself as the days grow shorter. Do you need something more, less, new, or to stay the course? For this post, we consider how paying attention to signs and symptoms can help address dryness as the weather turns cooler.

At MARIE VERONIQUE, our commitment to skin health is at the forefront of everything we do. As part of our mission to be your trusted resource for all things skin-related, we wanted to open a discussion on a topic we haven’t yet explored: makeup. We are not the experts here, so for this article we sought advice from one of our favorite makeup artists, Romy Soleimani. 

Read on for our thoughts on what "clean makeup" means and what to look for when choosing products. We also share Romy's favorite Marie Veronique products to use alongside makeup to enhance your appearance and her list of brands and products she uses in her work.

At Marie Veronique, we consider product formulation as a way to problem-solve. We're always watching the industry, noting trends in the treatment room, as well as at-home skin care. In recent years we’ve noticed an increase in clients who are experiencing symptoms related to heat in the skin, including redness, discoloration, and flushing.

This motivated us to think about all the ways we encounter heat on a regular basis and what to do when it impacts skin health. We’re so pleased to introduce our latest product, FACE TO CHEST HYDRATION MASK.

In honor of our 20th anniversary, we took the opportunity to reflect and give you all our best knowledge and advice for getting and keeping your skin as healthy and beautiful as it can be at every stage of life. It also happens to be the advice we follow ourselves.

When asked about her most essential products, it’s no secret that Marie Veronique Nadeau will reveal she uses yogurt as her daily cleanser. In fact, it was a muse when we formulated our oil cleansers to be a shelf-stable version of it. In honor of Marie’s dedication to the source and her legendary influence over many of us, we feel compelled to elaborate on this effective DIY step so you may experience the wonders of Mother Nature’s fermented topical if you wish.

At MARIE VERONIQUE, our priority is skin health, and we believe that with proper dermal delivery of topical ingredients combined with a healthy internal body, you can achieve your healthiest skin. So, if that is the case, do you need red light therapy if you have a great topical + lifestyle routine? And what can you expect from using it? 

At Marie Veronique our strategic formulations utilize novel surfactants, emollients, and probiotics; deliberately including ONLY ingredients that work synergistically to support barrier function, even the emulsifiers. With this in mind, we are so pleased to introduce our latest innovation and first body product ever: Body Barrier Emulsion.

As part of our ongoing collaboration with Julia Sherman, she is creating a series of recipes exclusively for Marie Veronique.

This dish transforms a snack into a nourishing bridge between other meals.
