At evoleum, we are committed to showcasing inspirational women who share ourholistic vision ofbeauty .
For this second interview, we have chosen to focus on the two inspiring women who run the plant canteen Sisters: Mathilde & Emilie Lacaze.
In a few words, who are you?
Emilie: We're two sisters, Emilie and Mathilde, aged 37 and 31. We both come from the Paris region, where we still live. I'm also the mother of a 3-year-old boy.
For the past two years, we've been running an organic canteen and coffee shop together in the heart of Paris, which we've decided to call simply Soeurs.
Before that, we had a number of experiences in the luxury goods industry in France and abroad. My sister lived in Qatar for 5 years and I spent a year in London.
Your mantra?
Mathilde: Keep it simple and authentic
Your 3 favorite beauty products?
Mathilde: Once again, simple, authentic products: Marseille soap to get rid of small pimples, coconut oil to moisturize the skin and theeau de bouleau for luminous skin every day
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received?
Emilie: Beauty begins on the inside. Enjoying organic, seasonal fruit and vegetables every day, combined with a good night's sleep, is the first step to staying in shape.
Mathilde: Nature does things well. She provides us with the fruits and vegetables we need according to the seasons. All we have to do is follow and respect her.
What's the wellness routine you can't live without (yoga, ...)?
Emilie: We do facial yoga every morning and evening to relax our features, especially after a long day at the restaurant.
How did Soeurs come about?
Mathilde: We thought about the project for several years. During our travels, it gradually took shape in our minds.
We had to be ready and available both professionally and personally. In 2018, our planets aligned and we concretely started working on the concept full-time. Entrepreneurship is a great adventure that teaches us a lot about ourselves. After several months of looking for premises and putting together applications for the banks, we opened Soeurs restaurant, after 3 months of work, in March 2019.
Can you tell us more about your daily life as a restaurateur?
Mathilde: It's very intense, both physically and mentally, because my sister and I hold operational positions, but we're also managers. You have to know how to juggle these 3 roles, but today we can't see ourselves doing anything differently, because it's imperative for us to always be at the heart of our restaurant.
Emilie: Our job is so exciting. For my sister, it's the customer experience, which she loves, and for me, it's the creative side.
Your sources of inspiration?
Mathilde: Our sources of inspiration are varied. First and foremost, nature and the seasons, which we follow in developing our menu.
We also draw a great deal of inspiration from the principles of naturopathy, to ensure that our dishes are always balanced and full of goodness.
We also pay close attention to the different cuisines of the world, which are always very inspiring.
A good address to recommend?
Mathilde: Michel Bras' restaurant Le Suquet, high above Laguiole, which reminds us of our roots in Aveyron.gastronomic, vegetal and flavorful cuisine.

Our nutricosmetic cures are a perfect match for Mathilde & Emilie's gourmet, plant-based cuisine.
To date, there is no convincing scientific evidence of a link between the changing seasons and their possible influence on the skin, particularly in spring. However, numerous scientific studies rigorously demonstrate the influence of the seasons on certain metabolic phenomena within the body, particularly in winter and spring.
1. The influence of the season on the skin
The skin is a functional organ that constantly interacts with its environment. In spring, several factors can influence its appearance and renewal:
✔ Increased brightness : Exposure to natural light stimulates the production of vitamin Da key element for overall skin health. In addition, visible light and UV rays boost skin pigmentationwhich can give a more luminous effect to the complexion.
✔ Reducing winter oxidative stress : Winter is a harsh period for the skin (cold,, dry air, temperature variations, pollution), which alters the skin barrier, amplifies dehydration and impacts the integrity of skin cells. In spring, with milder conditions and better-preserved hydration, the skin regains a better condition.
✔ Circadian rhythm and skin metabolism : The return to longer days implies a modulation of circadian rhythms including the nocturnal cell renewal cycle. Epidermal cells naturally renew themselves every 28 days, with nighttime playing an important role in this process, so getting a good night's sleep is of paramount importance.
✔ Reducing winter imperfections : In winter, skin tends to be more prone to tightness and redness in reaction to ambient dryness (heating, cold). With rising humidity and temperature in spring,, these phenomena can diminish reducing the feeling of peaurugueuse.
2. A "skin spring" at any age?
If the perception of more beautiful skin in spring is common, it depends more on skincare habits and environmental changes than on a biological cycle specific to the seasons. on skin care habits and environmental changes, rather than on a biological cycle specific to the seasons.. However, skin's adaptability varies with age:
-
For young women (20-35) The skin makes the most of the "benefits of spring" thanks to a good cell renewal and collagen production. The complexion often becomes brighter, with increased outdoor activity.
-
From age 35-45 : Cell renewal begins to slow downmaking the impact of winter aggressions more visible. Adaptation of skin care products (moisturizing, antioxidants) is recommended to prolong the "healthy glow" effect of spring.
-
From age 50 and over Hormonal variations are one of the causes of reduced collagen production, making skin thinner and more prone to wrinkles and pigmentation spots. In addition, age-related cellular aging has an impact on the functioning and efficiency of cell renewal mechanisms. Spring remains a favorable time to support the skin's metabolism through better hydration and targeted skin care products such as nutricosmetics.
3. How can we optimize this seasonal transition?
Spring is an ideal time to rebalance the skin and prepare it for summer aggressions (UV rays, heat, pollution). Here are a few recommendations:
✅ Boost hydration : After winter, skin needs to regain its elasticity. Care products rich in hyaluronic acid on the one hand, and ceramides on the other, can respectively help restore skin hydration and barrier integrity.
✅ Improving density : The use of well-targeted nutricosmeticssuch as a collagen-based treatment (e.g. LONGÉVITÉ by Evoleum), can promote more elastic skin.
✅ Protecting against oxidative stress : With increasing sun exposure, antioxidants (vitamin C, polyphenols, vitamin E) are essential for preventing premature aging.
✅ Reawaken microcirculation : Facial massages, facial gymnastics or the use of nutricosmetic treatments that promote blood circulation (e.g. ascophyllum nodosum, grape seed extract) can help revive the complexion's natural radiance.
Conclusion: skin renewal is influenced, but not automatic
Spring does not trigger a natural "reset" of the skin, but the more favorable external conditions allow for better hydration, renewed radiance and support for certain metabolic phenomena. hydration, renewed radiance and support for certain metabolic processes if the skin care routine is properly adjusted. It's therefore an excellent time to support the skin's mechanisms and anticipate its pre-summer needs.

A patented active ingredient is a product or process whose technical innovation has been recognized and protected by a patent. The latter guarantees the exclusive monopoly on the exploitation of the invention in one or more given territories for a maximum period of 20 years, preventing other companies from using it without prior authorization.
