The first skincare line developed by a doctor, the Payot collection is the
creation of Dr. Nadia Payot, also known as ŒThe Godmother of French
Skincare.¹ She formulated the line in the 1920s, upon her return from an
inspiring trip to New York City. There she researched spas and ingredients
and had a pivotal meeting with Russia¹s prima ballerina, Anna Pavlova.
While Pavlova would be the first of many of Payot¹s star patients, the
ballerina quickly proved to be the most influential‹she was the catalyst for
Payot¹s revolutionary research on the effects of age on the body. Dr. Payot
was intrigued by Pavlova¹s youthful physique: It possessed the strength and
mobility of someone 20 years younger. However, her skin did not exude the
same smooth, youthful features.
Determined to reconcile Pavlova¹s incredible physicality with her
lackluster, aging skin, Dr. Payot conducted years of research during which
she studied ingredients that would help the skin to act younger than its
age, subsequently blending them into products.
In addition to creating a more pleasing aesthetic, Payot¹s products were
also developed to enhance the overall health and wellbeing of the woman who
uses them. The doctor always approached skincare by keeping in mind that the
skin is the body¹s first line of defense against bacteria and germs. Payot
products are formulated to help preserve the integrity of the skin,
therefore, the total body.
Bring balance to the body and mind by soaking in a tub sprinkled with
fortifying salts from The Dead Sea. These salts are ideal for unwinding and
are effective for a post-workout soak, as they relieve some of the
discomfort associated with muscle tension.
* Salt crystals enriched with Potassium, Magnesium, and Sodium stimulate the
body¹s cell metabolism while helping the body relax.
Add a generously-sized capful of salts to the tub, soak, and finish with a
cool rinse to invigorate the muscle tissue. The water will feel like liquid
silk.

This lightweight oil leaves skin feeling soft, sensual, glowing, and dry to
the touch. It also promotes cell renewal and preserves skin¹s elasticity.
* Jojoba oil is biomimetic, meaning it is identical to the skin¹s own sebum
(which depletes with age and in the face of environmental aggressors). It
helps reinforce the skin¹s natural barrier and repels free radicals.
* Silica helps fight against elastase, an enzyme that can potentially attack
the body¹s elastin.
* Avocado and Calendula oil soften and fight dehydration.
Apply in upward circular movements.
