Want to know the secret behind Scarlett Johannson’s dreamy complexion? The travel cream of jet-setting fashionistas? Or how about the tried and true skin care weapon that’s a staple in the kits of top makeup artists?
Well look no further than Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre (Concentrated Milk-Cream). You’ve probably never heard of it, but Embryolisse is a French skin care company with a cult following, and it’s been around for more than 50 years. It’s been a favorite of Parisian ballerinas, actresses and beauty mavens alike. The Lait-Creme debuted in the American beauty scene most likely in the 1990s, when it was stuffed into the purses of makeup artists and European beauty product junkies for a trip across the Atlantic. Now you’ll find it backstage at fashion shows and photo shoots, in the pages of fashion and beauty magazines and in the cosmetic bags of celebrities and beauty pros.
The Creme itself is simple yet effective, a gentle multi-tasker that’s excellent for: healing dry skin, plumping up fine lines, rebuilding the skin’s natural protective barrier, using as an eye cream, using as a makeup primer, soothing razor burn, removing makeup, and even cleaning and softening your baby! My guess is that you could tame flyaways and shave your legs with it, too. Initially created as pharmaceutical skin care in France, the product is formulated without harsh chemicals and developed according to the standards of the medical profession. Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre is available at rickysnyc.com and camerareadycosmetics.com
