Summer is well underway, and with it comes the irresistible urge to enjoy the beautiful days. But to preserve a radiant, even and long-lasting tan, a few simple steps make all the difference.
At Laboratoire Graine de Pastel, we draw on the richness of our plant, pastel (grown using organic farming methods on our estate in the Gers), to offer you a routine filled with beneficial active ingredients.
Discover our essential steps for caring for your skin throughout the summer.
Step 1: Preserve the radiance of your tan with a melting exfoliator
Contrary to popular belief, exfoliating your skin in summer does not make your tan disappear. For your skin to capture light evenly, exfoliation is the essential starting point. It refines the skin’s texture and ensures an even tan.
✨ The beauty ritual: The Body Scrub, a true “founder’s favorite,” this vegan scrub made in France offers a formula containing 96% ingredients of natural origin.
Its active ingredients: It combines an exfoliating mineral and plant-based complex (Agen prune stones and silica microbeads) with the powerful Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids from pastel and a nourishing botanical complex (hazelnut oil, plum oil and camelina oil).
Its benefits: Its rich texture, enhanced with exfoliating particles, softens and refines the skin. Even better, it does more than exfoliate: it nourishes* and protects the epidermis, while leaving our signature Graine de Pastel fragrance in its wake.

Step 2: Intense nourishment for strengthened skin
The sun, salt and chlorine quickly dry out the skin. To maintain its suppleness, prevent peeling and prolong your tan, hydration is the key to your preparation.
✨ Your allies for supple skin: the Nourishing Body Cream and the Repairing Body Balm
These two exceptional treatments harness the benefits of pastel’s Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids and our nourishing botanical complex.
The Nourishing Body Cream: Made with 98% ingredients of natural origin, its generous, refreshing texture provides intense hydration. It is perfect for daily use to restore radiance and soften the skin.
The Repairing Body Balm: Your iconic treatment since 2005. This vegan treatment, made with 94% ingredients of natural origin, has a rich, enveloping texture. It provides 100% comfort and repair*. The skin of the body is soothed and hydrated** throughout the day. Magical for summer evenings, it absorbs quickly and leaves an irresistible silky feel.

Step 3: Anticipate and even out your complexion for a flawless look
The sun is the main cause of the appearance of pigmentation spots. Preparing your face also means actively preventing these irregularities to maintain a radiant, perfectly even complexion.
✨ The perfecting shield: The Anti-Dark Spot Correcting Serum
This serum is a true concentrate of plant-based technology, featuring an exclusive patented innovation.
Its active ingredients: At the heart of its fluid, lightweight formula are powerful pastel bioflavonoids, combined with the plant’s Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.
Its benefits: Applied under your day cream, it reduces pigmentation spots by 76%* and evens out the complexion. Its overall action is effective on all types of spots, particularly those caused by the sun.
