Working from home this past year has resulted in a shift away from my daily cosmetics routine to an increased interest in skincare. So, when my good friend May @noisette1420 encouraged me to try Sisley-Paris and introduced me to the Vickie, director of the Sisley boutique in Miami, I was absolutely thrilled. My mother has used Sisley products for years, but I had never tried them.
Sisley is one of the most luxurious skincare brands in the world. Founded in 1976 by the late Hubert d’Ornano and named in honor of French impressionist painter Alfred Sisley, Sisley-Paris is a family-owned and operated business that has remained true to its founding principal of creating high-quality products using active ingredients extracted from plants – phytocosmetology. The result is an array of exceptional products designed to address the beauty and skincare concerns of women, such as helping the skin appear more radiant and youthful and fighting the signs of aging.
My foray into the brand began with a one-on-one consultation with Vickie. She scheduled a call and asked a few questions about my skin type and concerns. For me, it’s sensitivity and dehydration (especially in winter), fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration. I really appreciate the time Vicky took to ask follow up questions aimed at selecting the best product options for me. After the consultation, she selected a lovely collection of sample for me to try and shipped them to my home. Her attention to detail and level of service was outstanding.
Today, I’m sharing a handful of my favorite Sisley skincare products. While I did receive complimentary samples, none of my product recommendations are ‘sponsored’ — just ones that worked for me.
What I tried
- Black Rose Creme Mask │ Love it! This mask is specifically formulated to make your skin appear more youthful and energized. I tried it just after returning to Chicago from Palm Desert, CA. As you can imagine, my already dry skin was extra dry. The mask goes on silky smooth, feels refreshing, and smells wonderful – that’s another benefit of Sisley I’ll talk about later. I applied it all over my face, left it on for 10-15 minutes, and wiped away the excess just before going to bed. The next day, I woke up feeling as if my skin was well nourished and significantly less dry – a small dry and irritated patch of skin on my chin went away. This will become a staple of my skincare routine. I would recommend it to anyone who travels and can easily see myself using it after every flight – especially long hauls to and from Paris. My friend May @noisette1420 swears by the Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream and the Black Rose Eye Contour Fluid.
- Sisleya L’Integral Anti-Age Day and Night │ I am always curious and a bit anxious to try new day and night creams. My skin is sensitive and prone breakouts, especially if something is too rich. So, I applied the Integral Anti-Age sparingly at first with a great result. From day one, I noticed a difference and continued to use it for the remainder of the week with a great result.
- Sisleya L’Integral Anti-Age Eye and Lip │ I have to admit I was intrigued by the idea of a cream for both the eyes and lips. I am addicted to lip balm, but had never heard of a lip cream. I tried a small amount of this cream around the outer portion and applied it more generously around the outer edge of my lips. I am particularly excited about this product because fine lines and a darkening complexion around the lips is a telltale sign of aging. Both areas seem visibly smoother and skin looks healthier.
- Sisley Neck Cream │ I’ve always been told French women pay as much attention to their necks and décolleté as their faces. Following that notion, I try to do the same and have incorporated skincare for these parts of the body into my nightly routine. The neck is also a telltale sign of aging, so I was thrilled to try the neck cream.
There’s something else about Sisley products that I really love – it’s the aromatherapy aspect of the brand. Everything smells so good. Regular blog readers may recall I recently discovered the benefits of essential oils to help unwind and relieve stress. Every product I tried smelled wonderful and made me feel pampered – I felt transported from my bathroom to luxury spa.
If you like luxury (and who doesn’t?), indulging in a few Sisley products is a wonderful way to invest in yourself and bring a bit of French luxury into your daily routine.
