Primary’ care from Valmont

‘PRIMARY’ CARE FROM VALMONT

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA

FASHION & BEAUTY WEAR Perhaps it was that Switzerland was just starting to come out of its coronavirus lockdown. Or the beautiful weather there. But Sophie Guillon, CEO of Valmont, and Faïza Boudhar, her communications manager, were in a most ebullient mood as they introduced Valmont’s new Primary line during dinner time there recently via Zoom, a first for a Valmont launch. Small wonder, then, that they were popping Champagne corks amid the elegant pink and white surroundings of Valmont’s Swiss headquarters after the presentation: The latest in Valmont’s stable of luxuriously radiant skincare products is the brand’s first microbiomebalancing line, designed for any age, gender and skin type, although Guillon said its back-to-basics approach may appeal especially to the younger generation.

Since the microbiome consists of all the organisms that make up an environment — in this case, your skin — Primary is formulated around pre- and probiotics to “balance the skin’s ecosystem.” Its products are naturally preserved, using the Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) sterilization process that the agricultural industry applies to milk.

“In my time, cosmetics was considered as a repair function,” Guillon said, offering special greetings to New York City as it works to rebound from the crisis. “We would use it as a treatment for wrinkles or sagging skin. Today it’s more considered as a companion for your daily routine for the beauty of your skin or your overall look.

“And also in terms of social habits, we have changed. The generations today consider that life is interesting in the way that we have to be balanced — balance inside, balance outside. It’s inner beauty, outer beauty. Instead of really thinking of managing your routine, mastering your beauty in the future, it’s more about the harmony of your life, the yoga of your skin. ”

The five products are designed, she said, as a complement, to the Purity line, which was introduced last year to rebalance the skin after cleansing. The “clean, green” Primary line includes:

Primary Veil — A milky, sweetly fresh-scented prepping mist made with jojoba esters and Swiss spring water that starts your day. Spray some on your hand, Boudhar

said, and pat it on your skin. Apply it after Valmont’s Prime Renewing Pack moisture cream. ($118);

Primary Solution — Guillon describes this as a delicate treatment for minor imperfections such as blemishes, acne scars and discoloration, although not for the eye contour area and thus not for dark circles. (For that, see Valmont’s L’Elixir des Glaciers Vos Yeux Eye Cream.) Apply Primary Solution locally and leave it on for four days. ($190):

Primary Serum — A repairing serum that countermands the effects of redness, whether it's due to natural or external factors, soothing and smoothing, Guillon said. ($205):

Primary Cream — A “super comfortable” cream that is designed to alleviate irritation when the skin feels sore, hot or tingly. It’s especially good, Boudhar said, for men after they shave. ($200);

Primary Pomade — This replenishing balm — made with moisturizing passion fruit unsaponifiables, mimosa wax, shea butter, jojoba esters and carrot and evening primrose oil — is, Guillon said, a special product created to provide the most intense nourishment for even the driest skin. That includes English and American skin, which she finds particularly dry, and skin that has been worked on cosmetically. ($275).

Just as important to Guillon is giving back to the community, one of the Valmont Group’s core values. For the launch of Primary, Valmont continues its philanthropic partnership with One Drop Foundation, an international nonprofit dedicated to providing access to safe water around the globe. During August, Valmont will donate $5 to One Drop for every product sold within the Primary collection.

What price education?

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA

Early this month, Connecticut and New York will make their decisions regarding the reopening of schools — as fraught a subject as any related to the coronavirus.

At the heart of the issue is the desire to have students resume the education required to meet the demands of this challenging world balanced by the need always for them to do so safely. With regard to elementary and secondary schools, the questions are fourfold: How are families and schools going to navigate staggered openings and closings when classes have to take place and parents have to be at work at certain times? How will students, particularly those in densely urban schools, socially distance in classrooms that are often filled to capacity — thanks in part to a decline in the birthrate that began in the 1980s and led to many school buildings being repurposed? How will everyone from the famed “lunchroom lady” to the superintendent protect himself with PPE when teachers have to buy things like crayons, because there’s no money for supplies? And how will schools quarantine, test and contract-trace everyone who comes in contact with an infected member of the school community?

For some school districts, a status quo return can’t be done. Already, New York City, with the nation’s

Harvard Yard, center of the Harvard University campus, seen last year. The school is planning to let only 40 percent of its students return to the campus this fall.

largest public school system, is going to have students attend parttime. California will keep most of its students online, while Texas, another hard-hit state, will have online-only classes until November. Is any of this ideal? Of course not. This may prove disruptive not only to day-to-day learning but to parents’ ability to work, especially outside the home. It may also disfavor disabled and poorer students, who might lack the at-home resources that others have.

Privileged parents can, of course, afford to send their children to private schools, which say they are wellprepared to cope with the challenges of educating students in the pandemic. (See accompanying list.) But this presupposes that those in affluent suburbs, who are already paying high property taxes for schools that rival anything in private education, are emotionally and financially prepared to abandon their public schools. In reality, all property owners — indeed all citizens — are invested in their local public schools, whether they use them or not.

With regard to higher education, the questions are different but no less complex or urgent. More than elementary and secondary education, college and graduate school are about making connections. Many low-income and foreign students in particular count on the housing, employment, mentorship and networking that campus life and in-person interaction provide — which is partly why Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were among those colleges that recently filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration’s attempt to deny foreign attendees their student visas. (The Trump Administration has since stepped back from that plan.)

While roughly 60 percent of American institutes of higher learning have said they would allow all students back into the classroom this fall, some of the most prestigious — including Johns Hopkins, Princeton and Stanford — will hold most classes online. Harvard, the oldest and richest of American universities, will allow only 40 percent of its students back on campus, mainly freshmen and those who can demonstrate the academic hardship of online learning, thus pitting one student against another, as The New York Times put it, in a contest to see who’s the most disadvantaged by the current circumstances. Call it “Queen for a Day,” the old game show of the downtrodden, for the modern age.

It’s a sorry, muddled state of affairs guaranteed to satisfy few in which one thing nevertheless remains clear and paramount — the safety of students, which is key to the health of the school community and our future economy.
