Relaxation, sun, tanning, cocktails, ... there is no doubt that this summer has been under the best conditions and your mood is on top. Now it is time to keep up this positive attitude and starting the second half of the year full of energy, without letting the stress get the better of you. We would like to share with you our four tips on how to approach the "back-to-work" period of 2023 with peace of mind !
Tip #1: Clean your bathroom
Thinking about tidying up doesn't have to wait until spring. The end of summer and the start of the new school year can often be a source of stress, and tidying the home can be just the thing to clear the mind. So it is a good time to re-organise your bathroom.
We are not going to hide the fact that we often tend to accumulate all of our cosmetic care products in one corner of the bathroom without ever using them all. You can blame it on the many innovations from our favourite brands! So to free up your space (and your mind), follow these 3 steps :
1. Keep an eye on the expiry date. Yes, you may not know it, but once opened, a cream or makeup product can only be used for a certain period of time, which can vary from 3 to 24 months (more rarely up to 36 months) depending on the type of formula. To find out how long it will stay usable after opening, look on the back or underneath your favourite product. You will find the pictogram of a jar with a number inside. Try to remember more or less exactly when you used it for the first time. If you are not sure, put it aside to sort out later. You can also recognise when it is time to throw away a product by its smell, colour or texture. It is better not to use it on your skin if any of these three parameters changes.
2. Get rid of what no longer suits you. Besides your skin type (normal, dry or combination/oily), its condition varies according to the season or exposure to certain environmental factors. It can also be dehydrated at one point in time and then no longer be so. Make a pile of products you no longer want to keep. Offer them to your family or friends, donate them to a charity or sell them on Vinted.
3. Sort out what is no longer usable. You won't have missed it. Sorting instructions are now clearly visible on all packaging, whether cosmetic or not. So you can see more clearly what is recyclable and what is not. We also throw away :
- In the sorting bin : cardboard packaging, plastic bottles and tubes with caps, aluminium bottles.
- Glass bin : glass bottles (CQFD), including caps if there are any.
- In the rubbish bin : everything else (not much at Bernard Cassière ;) ), such as lids, which are too small to be sorted. And because we don't do things by halves at BC, there's no need to throw away your jars ! All you have to do is buy a refill when the product is finished. Practical, ecological and economical !
Tip #2: Choose « no make-up » make-up
This summer has rhymed with digital detoxing and doing nothing. You've decided to put your make-up away and choose sunscreen instead. The result? A beautiful tan that will make your colleagues in the city green with envy. The skin was also able to breathe, which was very beneficial.
So it's time to surf the "no make-up" trend. This means swapping your multiple layers of make-up (foundation, powder, eyeshadow, mascara, red lipstick) for a light treatment that barely conceals your beautiful skin tone and gives you a radiant glow without looking like you spent the morning there.
So for your complexion, go for a light coverage treatment like a BB cream. A small bonus if, like the DD cream from the Spiruline Bernard Cassière range, it also protects against blue light. Perfect for those of you who spend most of your working day in front of a computer screen !

Tip #3: Embrace the multi-masking trend
Yes... but what is it ? Quite simply, it is an almost customised treatment method that comes to us from Asia and consists of applying various types of masks to different parts of your face, listening to your skin's needs ... A small amount of Soothing mask skyr texture on your cheeks which are tight and in need of nourishment, a touch of 3-in-1 Detox Mask on your dull forehead which is lacking in radiance ,... Just enough to give your skin the care it needs. We are thinking in particular of the period after the summer holidays, when your skin has suffered from all the excesses: increased exposure to the sun, a change of climate with the use of air conditioning, the consumption of alcoholic cocktails on the beach ...
How do you do it ? You clean your face thoroughly with a cleansing product that is adapted to your skin type and you pay close attention to the instructions for use that appear on the packaging of your favourite masks. Usually, all you need to do is to apply the mask with your finger or, for greater accuracy, with a brush, leave on for about 10 minutes and then rinse off with clean water.
This technique allows you to enjoy a moment of cocooning before returning to work in peace and quiet mood.

Tip #4: Give yourself a moment of relaxation
It's always the same story. Between dealing with the emergencies that have magically arisen during your three weeks away from the office and meeting the many wishes of your tribe for their respective back to school in the 1st and 5th grades (you will certainly have to think about replacing the youngest's bag for the new Barbie featuring Margot Robbie to avoid an existential crisis), the parenthesis of releasing of the last few days quickly turns into a moment of stress and tension.
To overcome this, nothing could be easier: give yourself a relaxing body treatment! Enough to extend your holidays thanks to scents that will remind you of a trip to the islands or your last journey to the Americas. A real moment of wellbeing with a signature massage that will allow you to relieve muscle tension, reduce stress and help you to sleep soundly so that you can face the daily routine.
So make an appointment with your nearest Bernard Cassière partner beautician for a moment of well-being.
