La maison de beauté (the house of beauty) Carita is the skins answer to Bollinger for the palate.

Their Global philosophy is to enhance, restore, protect and preserve the natural and unique beauty of women. Carita aligns their beauty treatments with the idea of pleasure and effectiveness, likewise sophistication and simplicity.

Possibly the most ultimate Carita product on the market, the Fluide de Beauté 14 is an ultra-nourishing shimmering dry oil for face, body and hair. It has an astonishingly light and silky texture so it doesn’t feel like you’ve added a heavy serum to your beauty routine, but more a gentle angelic air that smoothes the skin to help protect from dryness and dehydration. The supple beautifying action is facilitated by a profusion of pearls, leaving your skin incredibly protected and soft.

Fluide de Beauté 14 is a legendary product. When Rosy and Maria Carita founded their school in Paris at no.14 rue de Faubourg Saint-Honore in 1965, they named this classic beauty care product after their famed headquarters.

Adored by socialites and fashionites alike, Helena Christensen, Anne Hathaway and Julia Roitfeld are all cult Carita fans.

For an ever more sparkling shimmer, opt for ‘Gold’; an amp-the-volume-up version of the classic Fluide de Beauté 14 that leaves a more intense golden glow alongside a sexy summer sheen.

Radiant Parisian skin that says ‘I have a holiday house in St Barts’: yes please.
