Information
Since 1958, the uber sophisticated French skin care brand Darphin has long been synonymous with combining the very best of science and nature, blending plants, botanical aromas and indulgent scents to create the very best in premium skin care. Created by Pierre Darphin, a true beauty visionary, he believed the experience of beauty products to be as important as the results and so offered his customers a holistic approach to beauty. He set up his own institute in the very heart of Paris and worked with the best dermatologists and chemists to pursue his personal quest; overall wellbeing. Pierre Darphin truly believed that if a woman felt good, she looked good and today this still remains part of the 'Darphin's Pleasure Principle', and the cornerstone of the brands skin care philosophy. The idea is to go 'over and above a basic cleanse, tone, and moisturise' and that the secret behind beautiful skin lays with working with serums and oils as well, to boost the efficiency of your cream. For each skin problem Darphin provides a three point plan to be applied like a ritual every morning and evening to satisfy that particular skin's daily requirements. Of course there are now millions of great brands available on the market today, but we are hard pushed to find such a sophisticated range- from the cashmere soft textures to the exquisite scents - using Darphin truly is an indulgent experience every day. If you buy one thing (believe us, it won't be easy to stop at just the one) the 'wonder' product of this brand is the Darphin Purifying Balm; an intense miracle treatment to bring life and radiance to dull, lifeless skin or as a purifying and correcting treatment for any skin imbalances or problems. Formulated from a unique blend of over 12 essential oils including thyme, lavender, hazelnut oil and geranium this is simply product to all end all products.
We asked the team at Darphin to explain to us why the brand is still head and shoulders above so many others...
1.What is the Darphin vision?
From its conception [in 1958], Pierre Darphin developed an approach that goes beyond well-being of the skin, face or body taking into account diet and lifestyle. This 'global' holistic approach to beauty was revolutionary for it's time. For Pierre Darphin 'beauty is not a question of age but of balance according to a person's age. It demands determination and constant discipline, appropriate care and a minimum amount of time each day to accomplish it.
2.Why does Darphin believe so strongly in serums and what's in your serum?
Everyone's skin is unique and needs customised recommendation. A serum is applied first to your skin and is an intensive targeted care designed to REPAIR the skin. This concentrated high-tech formulation focuses on your specific skin concerns e.g. wrinkles, sagging, spots. Action: High-performance problem-solving.
3. And your oils are an incredibly important part of the range too we see...
Our aromatic care oils are 'dry' oils and are easily absorbed into the skin and act as natural radiance boosters. There's tangerine, rose, niaouli, chamomile, myrrh, jasmine and 8 flower depending on your skin type and age.
4 .What does Aromatic care mean?
Darphin recommends an Aromatic care to help purifying, revitalize and rebalance. A 'bouquet' of essential oils help purifying skin, enhance the skin's natural radiance and helps restore the long-term balance of the skin.
5. And tell us about the 'Pleasure Principle'
The sensations of 'pleasure' are derived from touch, sight and, most significantly, smell. More than physical treatments, his innovative formulas were created to help the user in multi-dimensional, multi-sensory way.
