Valérie Grandury is proof that beautiful things happen when you combine a French sensibility with California living. As the founder of Odacité skin care, and a breast cancer survivor, Valérie has been on a mission to create and share high-performing, clean beauty formulas in the name of enhanced wellness and self-care for over a decade. In this episode of Talk Beauty to Me (our TKth!), we couldn’t wait to sit down with Valérie to hear her skin care philosophy, gather her thoughts on the future of clean beauty and learn alllll about the Temple of Beauty Facial. What’s that last bit, you ask? It’s an utterly divine treatment, performed with the brand’s signature triple cleansing technique, the new rose gommage exfoliator (a recent finalist in Beauty Bleep We Love) and a crystal gua sha stone massage that leaves your visage lifted, revived and glowing. And it’s available exclusively at The Detox Market’s Yorkville Toronto location, in an airy loft that exudes a zen vibe. While current world events mean you can’t book in at this exact moment, it’s the PERFECT pick-me-up and something to look forward to when everything is back on track. For now, check out the link below for a 1:1 with the woman behind the blissful treatment – and consider this sneak peek a solid starter pack of DIY ideas! Pas de regrets, guaranteed.

Looks good, right? Well, it feels even better. A crystal gua sha stone facial massage is a key part of the restorative power of the Temple of Beauty Facial.
