Celebrity Life

Beauty products have been around since the Egyptians, although the industry has certainly evolved. One of the latest trends and my personal favorite change in the beauty world has been the introduction and attention to organic products.  Choosing organic means you are choosing a product that is better for your skin, your health, and the […]

Drunk Elephant…South African warthogs love it. Sub-Saharan African rhinos love it.  Sub-equatorial baboons have been known to get intoxicated on it. Human beings are consequently being turned on to it. Murala is the taste of Africa. It’s how elephants keep their looks and keep the free radicals at bay. Have you ever wondered why vervet […]

Fifty metres underground — this is the depth that local winemakers chose when they decided to store 10,000 wine bottles in the Aven d'Orgnac caves, an underground tourist attraction located at the southern end of the limestone plateau of the Gorges de l'Ardèche.

The experiment began in March 2018, when a new storage facility was specially created in a disused access tunnel to allow wine to mature in what amounts to a highly stable and peaceful environment.

A living product that ages best in undisturbed darkness, the wine will have benefited from ideal conditions: A constant temperature of around 12°C and an all-year-long rate of humidity of over 95%.

On December 12, 1,000 bottles of Côtes du Vivarais "Grand Aven 2017" from this treasure trove will be passed from hand to hand by a chain of human volunteers who will bring them back to the surface after two years underground. Thereafter, they will go under the hammer with a range of other local vintages in an auction with modest reserve prices.

Lots on offer will include 150 magnums of Terra Helvorum 2017 starting at 30 euros, 350 bottles of 2015 Terra Helvorum for as little as 15 euros and 350 bottles of Grand Aven 2016 from just 10 euros.

On land and sea

These days, experiments to store wine deep underground are very much in vogue in France. On June 3 of this year, 500 bottles were placed in racks at a depth of 103 metres in caves in Padirac under the watchful eye of Serge Dubs, the Best Sommelier of the World in 1989.

The first of these to return to the surface will be brought up for an initial tasting in the spring of 2021. And let's not forget that this experiment is focused on a very particular wine: A Clos Triguedina Cahors, christened Cuvée Probus, which has been produced to honour the 130-year anniversary of the Padirac Chasm.

Surprisingly enough, this new approach to maturing wine was initially inspired by a find at sea. In 2010, divers in the Baltic discovered a wreck containing what turned out to be a cargo of champagne, which was probably on its way to 1840s Russia.

The wave of experimentation that is now ongoing began when the bubbly, which was made by such houses as Veuve Clicquot, Heidsieck and the now defunct Juglar, was discovered to still be delicious after some 170 years under water.

In Saint-Jean-de-Luz in the French Basque country, winemaker Emmanuel Poirmeur has registered a patent for a process that involves vinifying wine in special vats at a depth of 15 metres under water. For its part, Leclerc-Briant set a record when it vinified one of its champagnes at a depth of 60 meters under the Atlantic in 2012, not surprisingly the vintage was christened "Abyss."

It's no secret that face masks --a huge part of our new normal-- is wreaking havoc on our skin. Here's how to curb the problem.

From breakouts and irritation, to dehydration and clogged pores, the frustration with mask-related skin issues are very real. So how can we tackle this in an age where face masks are absolutely necessary? FANCL has the answer with three after-mask recovery tips that result in cleaner, brighter and fresher skin.

Cleanse

Whether you are wearing make-up or not, cleansing is always going to be the first step in any good skincare routine. But it is effective facial cleansing that needs to take place in order to remove as much dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris as possible. The Nano Cleansing Technology in Prestige's Beauty & Wellness Awards 2020 winner FANCL MCO Mild Cleansing Oil does just that, and cleanses deep into the pores of your face, lifting out even the most stubborn waterproof makeup and pore-clogging dirt.

Unclog

Increased humidity under your mask, especially around the nose or chin area, can produce excess sebum that will congest pores and in some cases, cause blackheads. FANCL's Pore Cleansing Pack is the easiest way to banish deep-rooted blackheads and unclog pores. The new formula, with sea mineral clay, konjac extract particles, and the upgraded element of spherical activated charcoal, help to draw out impurities from within the pores in one fell swoop, ensuring that your skin is clean at once.

Purify

Couple this with the Yogurt Facial Treatment by FANCL, which is made to purify and eliminate oxidised and rough dead skin cells, and you're set. After cleansing, simply massage the treatment into your skin which is brimming with yogurt filtrate, pear juice ferment filtrate and hydrolyzed yeast extract which helps to restore the skin to its optimal condition while removing dead skin cells and speeding up skin renew; fresh royal jelly extract which helps to boost skin metabolism, prevent and relieve acne marks; and green tea extract which smooths out a rough and dull complexion, as it tightens pores, to restore a clearer complexion.
