LaVie Organique
When skin care expert and entrepreneur Lavinia Borcau recounts her initiation into the world of traditional Romanian beauty secrets, you have no doubt of its lasting impact. At the February 11, 2009, launch party for her LaVie Organique Original Formula skin care line, Lavinia described her first glimpse of a strange ritual on the shores of the Black Sea. �All these humanoid creatures, caked with mud and seaweed, were wading in the water,� she told the loyal clients crowded inside her chic, softly lit Brookline, MA, studio. Clutching her grandmother�s hand, she gaped at these fearsome sea monsters as they proceeded to dive beneath the waves, reemerging completely transformed. �Now I saw glowing mermaids with skin like a peach!�
A Balanced Vision of Beauty
From that happy ending grew the seeds of inspiration that eventually flowered into Lavinia�s life�s work. �LaVie Organique is the ultimate expression of my passionate belief in the revitalizing powers of natural minerals and plant nutrients,� she said. �Everything l�ve learned in my 20 years of developing organic facial treatments is incorporated into my skin care system.�
�I believe that the key to success in everything�life, health, and beauty�is balance,� Lavinia explained. �All the different elements of a beauty routine need to work together as a whole. The various products in the LaVie Organique line are all interrelated, and although each is highly effective on its own, the best results are obtained when the products are used to together as a total system of daily skin care.�
Serious Skin Care
Like her enthusiasm for natural ingredients, Lavinia�s belief in the need for a comprehensive skin care regimen is rooted in her European heritage. �European women are very serious about maintaining healthy, youthful skin,� she noted. �Taking care of our complexions is a life?long discipline.� The mind?set in Europe, she noted, is to prevent wrinkles, rather than ignoring or abusing your skin with the idea that you can always have a facelift later.
The LaVie Organique line is designed to give women a simple yet sophisticated skin care regimen that blends the best of Lavinia�s Old World heritage with the most advanced modern technology. �My clients are educated consumers who want treatments based on science. The formulas for these products reflect the latest research into how we can reverse the physiological effects of aging, sun, hormonal, and other stresses on the skin.� Lavinia noted that many of today�s treatments attempt to rejuvenate skin with high concentrations of harsh chemicals that can irritate and even burn and weaken sensitive skin. �This inflammation of the skin is exactly what we want to avoid,� she explained. It�s unhealthy and can actually accelerate skin aging.”
The Perfect Formula for Today�s Woman
The proprietary blend of organic botanicals and Romanian, Siberian, and Japanese herbs and teas in LaVie Organique work in synergy to stimulate circulation and cell growth, while neutralizing free radicals and calming inflammation. In addition to a cleanser, toner, and creams, the product line includes an exfoliating masque based on the same formula used in the organic enzyme peels featured in her salon. �My clients want dramatic results, but not the �sunburn effect� you get with strong chemical peels,� she explained. �With regular applications of milder fruit acids and calming herbs, you can achieve baby?soft skin, with no downtime, pain, or risk.� According to Lavinia, the idea that women have to suffer for beauty is obsolete. �In my grandmother�s day, women had to turn themselves into the �creatures from the black lagoon� or smear messy homemade concoctions on their faces to achieve fresh, radiant skin. �My easy to use products are designed to fit conveniently into the modern woman�s lifestyle.
But even with all these benefits, Lavinia insisted her ideal skin care system still needed something more. �Every woman deserves to feel special and beautiful. Without its elegant look and luxurious texture, my formula would be incomplete.� In other words, LaVie Organique is Lavinia�s answer to the age old question of what women want: Everything.

That’s a great posting and it’s very accurate of the work Lavinia does at her salon. I’m scheduled for my exfoliation treatment that comes with a scalp massage and Lavinia also offered to do a holistic skincare plan that I can use all year round. Definitely excited about this place. Great blog, keep it going!
