Savéria Coste's beauty tips

The very inspired founder of Garancia reigns as a magician over dermocosmetics with clean, innovative and dreamlike formulas .
Her beauty and well-being secrets.

How was Garancia born?

When I was a pharmacist, I often recommended scrubs, the key to beautiful skin in my opinion. But at the time, there were only formulas with fruit acids or abrasive particles, which could irritate. I wanted to create a daily exfoliating treatment that was gentle and powerful. The secret: the stabilization of enzymes that rid the skin of dead cells and help it regenerate. So it was with the Pschitt Magique micropeeling that I launched Garancia.

You surf a lot on magic, why?

Creating treatments that are so effective that they become magical was my goal. I keep this line of conduct in all my creations. The world of magic also comes to me from my Corsican origins: I was lulled by tales about sorcerers, this influenced me. But be careful, there is no magic without science!

Your family has four generations of pharmacists. Any beauty advice you inherited from your ancestors?

Grandma used to tell me: "Your plate is your first beauty prescription." A diet rich in seasonal fruits and vegetables is essential and allows you to stock up on antioxidants.

And you, what advice would you give?

That only regular exfoliation of the epidermis provides a luminous complexion, enhances the skin, makes it toned, and also optimizes the penetration of treatments.

Your first beauty gesture in the morning?

Cleanse my face with Pschitt Magique to improve skin texture.

Are you a makeup addict?

No, my routine is quick: a BB cream, a hint of bronzing powder, a line of black pencil, a cinnamon lipstick, that's all!

The makeup that boosts you?

I'm addicted to semi-permanent varnish. It's very chic!

When you are stressed, what do you do?

I take ten deep breaths, sniffing a cotton pad soaked in orange blossom water.

A secret to being in shape all year round?

Thirty minutes of jogging a day in a wood near my home, before hugging my favorite tree, a Corsican pine. It seems strange but it feels so good.

Easy steps for more responsible beauty?

I prefer products in refillable packaging to limit waste and cotton in washable wipes.
