It's a tube that we all have in our bathroom, stored at the bottom of our bathroom cabinet and that we most often take out only after having foolishly burned our skin by the sun of a been so hoped for. A tube of ointment by the name of Biafine that some people think is harmless but which for Kathleen Hou is not at all . But who is Kathleen Hou? Neither more nor less than the director of the beauty department of the website The Cut owned by New York Magazine, that is to say the influence of his writings across the Atlantic.
The latter, which has just devoted an article to this cream which, since the 1970s, has been most often applied massively to the charred backs of our loved ones. Yet his article titled T he One French Skincare Product You Need to Buy (The only French skincare product you need to buy) reminds us how much the invention of the French chemist Mr. Wenmaekers is not restricted to summer use, the anger pegged in mind for not having put on sunscreen.
Because yes we have just learned it, from the backstages of Fashion Week to dermatology practices, passing through the vanity cases of Elle MacPherson or our national icon Inès de la Fressange, Biafine is considered an in-con-tour moisturizer -able.
This is how acne-prone Kathleen Hou recently experimented with Biafine before joining Morphée. And so ? When he woke up, his acne had diminished and better yet healed faster. A surprise all the more powerful as the journalist had tested many other products before, without convincing results.
Kathleen Hou who in the rest of her article was full of praise for Biafine, also because in the United States the product is very rare, very rare unlike us, where it is always available in pharmacies. A miracle product created by Mr. Wenmaekers to treat his daughter-in-law who had accidentally burned herself and therefore urgently needs to be reconsidered. A formula kept secret but which is known to be composed of trolamine, a very soothing active ingredient in case of inflammation or burns, but also paraffin and avocado oil; a clever cocktail that allows the skin to regenerate, the tube of which costs…5 euros.
