Get to know Avène, a French skincare brand with a very special ingredient that has legendary restorative properties: mineral-rich thermal water

THE HEALING POWER OF AVENE

Nestled in the serene foothills of the south of France, the small, picturesque town of Avène is synonymous with its thermal spring water, revered for centuries for its healing properties. The spring's discovery dates back to 1736, when a local horse with alopecia was cured after rolling in the water daily. The spring's therapeutic reputation spread across continents; after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, water was shipped to aid burn victims. Today, more than 150 clinical and pharmacological studies attest to its effectiveness.

The thermal waters experience

People from around the world travel to Avène-les-Bains to experience the water's therapeutic benefits, and the thermal spring has been transformed into a vast hydrotherapy centre, owned by Pierre Fabre Laboratories.

The Science of Eggnog

There's something deeply satisfying about the ritual of making eggnog from scratch. It's creamy and rich, with just the right amount of spice and a silky texture that puts the carton stuff to shame. Whether you spike it or not, it's a cozy classic worth slowing down for. But behind that smooth sip is a bit of kitchen science. Eggnog is essentially a stirred custard, and getting it right depends on understanding a few simple—but important—concepts.

Feliz Navidad!

Spending Christmas with family in Western Mexico while I was growing up was identity-forming for me. I loved the colours, the flavours and the way everyone in the neighbourhood seemed to take nochebuena (Christmas Eve) festivities more seriously than December 25 itself. It’s hard to recreate the experience for my own kids, who have never spent a holiday abroad—but cooking from those memories gets me pretty close.
