How can your skin beat the Winter Blues? Do-it-yourself Guinot Facial for Dehydrated Winter Skin Harsh winter weather takes a toll on skin leaving it dry, flaky, sensitive and irritated. When you can’t get to the spa, or in between facials, do-it-yourself homecare is a great way to keep skin in top condition when the mercury falls. Winter Facial Prescription To maintain flake-free skin during the winter season, opt for Hydra Tendre gentle cleansing cream. The Coconut Extracts not only cleanse but also neutralize the effects of hard water on the skin. Remember not to wash your face with hot water-it dehydrates the surface layers of the skin. Exfoliate not only to remove dead cells but also to maintain your skin’s hydration. Layers of dead cells asphyxiate the skin and dehydrate it. Use Gommage Biologique twice a week. The gentle AHA’S-including, sugar cane, lemon and orange- lightly exfoliate the skin and hydrate it, while green tea protects and nourishes, making this exfoliant perfect for all skins including the most sensitive. Follow up with Masque Hydra Beaute to replenish moisture and soothe wind and cold irritated skin. Try Masque Yeux to hydrate and refresh the eye area. Both masks may be left on the skin for 15 minutes then tissued or rinsed off. Finish with an application of Serum Hydra Beaute for very dry/dehydrated skin followed by Crème Hydra Beaute to seal and retain moisture in the skin. The Shea Butter and Vitamin E in the Hydra Beaute Source will help to nourish the skin and fight free-radicals, while the Hydro-captors will trap the moisture in the skin. What could be better for the eye area during the cold weather than Hydrazone Eye? Liposomes that deliver moisture into the delicate eye area and horse chestnut to reduce puffiness make it perfect all-in-one eye cream for this time of year.

Over Thirty Years of Innovation:
A unique history, a unique company, exclusive successes 1930 - The precursor of beauty
• In his laboratory, the chemical engineer Rene Guinot made an incredible discovery: Skin cleansing enables in-depth skin purification and cleaning, which in turn facilitates penetration of treatments active ingredients. From then on, he constantly approached beauty from a scientific standpoint. This enabled him to obtain concrete results and strengthened his credibility among the general public.
1963 - The Rene Guinot company is set up
• In 1963, he set up the Rene Guinot company to supply his wife, a Beauty Therapist, with quality products. But the company had a slow start: In its small Montreuil Site, the company had only a few employees and was just starting to set up sales and marketing activities. The company had 22 points of sale at that time.

1965 - *Hydradermie, the revolutionary treatment
• * The brand passed a fresh milestone. At the time, all Salon treatments were applied manually. Then Rene Guinot revolutionized the world of esthetics by presenting his new Hydradermie Treatment. The principle: a gentle ionization process that makes the skin more receptive to the specific active ingredients that are applied to it subsequently. The results were so astonishing that Beauty Therapists immediately formed an exclusive clientele.

1972 - Rene Guinot takes off
 • At the time, Jean-Daniel Mondin, a Doctor of pharmacy, took over the Rene Guinot company to give it renewed momentum. His initial approach was to consider advice about treatment products in exactly the same way as prescriptions in the pharmaceutical field. It was decided that only Beauty Therapists had the necessary skills to examine the skin and meet their client’s beauty requirements. At the same time, to develop products and treatments that were increasingly technical and effective, he set up a permanent scientific platform bringing together researchers, university professors and physicians. The company’s growth was consistently obtained in close partnership with Beauty Salons.

1993 - Subsidiaries worldwide
 • The first subsidiary was set up in Germany to play a commanding part on the biggest cosmetics market in Europe. The second subsidiary followed in Mexico two years later. Since then, the brand has continued along the same lines, and Guinot treatments now delight women in over 65 countries.

1998 - A research Center at the cutting edge of technology
 • One of a kind in France, in the field of Beauty Salon brands, the new Guinot scientific department staffed 23. Their mission: Think up, develop and test Beauty Salon treatments and cosmetics for tomorrow.

1999 – Epil Confort, For long lasting depilation
 • * Guinot innovates in the depilatory segment with a line of products that improves and prolongs the effect of depilation.

2000 – Longue Vie Cellulaire, an exceptional range
 • * In the light of the success of Longue Vie Cellulaire, new treatments were developed for the specific areas that women are especially conscious of: The eyes, lips, hands, body, and soon neck. Longue Vie Cellulaire thus became a real line of treatments, essential to the success of Guinot treatments.

2001 - The Guinot Franchise in countries around the world
• By 2003, 19 franchised Guinot Paris Spas sprung up and met great success, enabling estheticians all around the world to benefit from the Guinot brand awareness in their work.

• 2002 - Aromatic
 * The new Aromatic face treatment brings together the biological effects of concentrated plant extracts, the energizing virtues of essential oils, and manual techniques, with the Beauty Therapists’ professional expertise. A worldwide success!

 2003 –Absolue Minceur, the new generation in Body Treatments
• * For the first time, a body treatment with a draining massage, made using the best slimming active ingredients known at the time: Lipokinases® that help reduce, fat, essential oils that accelerate their elimination, and clay to draw out water and toxins.
