In 1995, Mathilde Thomas launched with her husband Bertrand, Caudalie, the famous cosmetic brand specializing in vinotherapy. After Bordeaux and Paris, she left to live in New York, then Hong Kong in 2015. The brand then expands exponentially internationally. Her creator gives us her favorites and some secrets of beauty.
 
My favorite restaurant
Grassroots Pantry: I love Grassroots Pantry because it is healthy and tasteful. And their philosophy “To Make Food Do Good” is also the essential of French beauty.
 
My favorite destination
Château Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux, my family vineyard, and also the place where Caudalie was born. I love to spend my summer there as it gives me lots of inspiration.
 
My favorite junk food
I don't eat junk food, but I snack a lot on grapes and almonds. 
 
My favorite App
Instagram which I love to share my inspirations and “Grape Journey” there … follow me at mathildethomas.
 
To stay fit, ….
I’ll do a 3-days Grape Cleanse a year. Just eat grapes for three days and this “Grape Cure” can help to fight the aging process and to revitalize the body. Moreover, a glass of red wine a day (yet I'll skip it during the Grape Cleanse period). It’s beneficial in the antioxidant polyphenols and has a very high resveratrol content. It’s not only good for your heath but your skin too! 
 
My beauty routine in a few words:
Beauty is the “art-of-living” for French women and do remember to moisturize, wear an antioxidant cream and protect yourself from the sun.
 
Never without my….
There are so many! But if I only had five products to bring back, I would take the Beauty Elixir, Grape Water, Vinosource S.O.S Thirst-Quenching Serum, Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet and Premium Cru Eye Cream. From refreshing, hydrating, soothing to firming, those products help maintaining the prefect condition on my skin complexion.   
 
To decompress I…
Indulge myself at a Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa. Moreover, I love to go travelling with my family and it’s a great way to bring everyone together. I’m planning to Japan with my families this Easter.
