What is beauty for you and what connection does it have with your facet as an entrepreneur?

One of our mottos at AIME is: "It's not about being the most beautiful person, it's about being the healthiest version of yourself." And I truly believe that. Taking care of your skin is taking care of yourself first. Our body is our home, and if we're happy and in harmony with ourselves, it really shows and radiates. That's why I'm so passionate about what we do and create.

- Any anecdotes from the creation of Aime that particularly stand out for you?
Any anecdote during the creation of Aime that has marked you?

Before we launched AIME four years ago, the nutricosmetics industry wasn't what it is today. It wasn't a "sexy" business, and people were a bit skeptical of the idea. So, the fact that so many women have trusted us to care for their skin and well-being from day one is incredibly rewarding!

Trust your instincts. If something feels off, don't force it. I've learned not to listen too much to other people's opinions. I trust my vision and I know what my mission is.

- A foolproof trick or product
A foolproof trick or product
SPF. It's the number one beauty product every woman should have. I use SPF every day, even when the weather is gray and rainy. When our clients or my followers ask me what the best anti-aging product is, I always tell them it's SPF and a preventative lifestyle.

- What is your morning routine?
What is your morning routine?
I wake up around 6:30 am, before everyone else in the house, so it's "my time." I try to exercise as soon as I wake up; it puts me in a good mood. I brush my hair, take a cold shower, take my supplements (Hair & Scalp Boost to help my hair grow and French Glow, the best thing for my rosacea), get dressed, and then it's time to be with the kids and catch my train to Paris!

I dry brush, cold shower, take my supplements (Hair & Scalp Boost to help grow my hair, and French Glow the best for my rosacea) get dressed and then it's time for the kids and to catch my train for Paris!

- How do you take care of your beauty from the inside out?
How do you take care of your beauty from the inside?
I take my supplements every day. It's the key to seeing results. We create products that are easy to incorporate into daily life: I put my Omega Glow oil, packed with omegas, on my toast and avocado salads, I drink Matcha Glow almost every day for my daily dose of collagen, I go to bed before 10:00 pm, I exercise, I love cooking with my husband... It's the little things that make a big impact!
