MARIA GALLAND im Interview
Interview with Silke Juncker about the international success of Maria Galland
In collaboration with renowned dermatologists, Maria Galland developed a treatment concept in the early sixties that sees the skin as a mosaic of the most diverse needs. Today, the world-famous premium brand Maria Galland stands for the highest quality, cosmetic innovations and effective highly concentrated active ingredients. We asked Silke Juncker, Managing Director Maria Galland Germany and Austria, some questions about the brand Maria Galland and we also got great tips for the daily care routine.
How would you describe the brand Maria Galland in one sentence?
The name Galland stands for grandeur, Parisian elegance and almost 60 years of success in the cosmetics industry.
How did the brand Maria Galland start?
The story of Maria Galland Paris began with a certain woman who was far ahead of the time war. Madame Galland was an amazing personality and her story is so intriguing that I always like to tell her stories. Imagine Paris in the 60s - in the bohemian Le Marais, a place full of creativity, vibrant life and revolutionary ideas, a woman had a vision: to preserve the youthful beauty and radiance of the skin of every woman and woman of all ages. As a passionate dancer, she was convinced that the unique energy is the epitome of beauty, and that she carries that energy through a new generation of skincare revelations.
The beginning of a revolutionary future in skin care
In 1962, the passionate dancer developed a method of treatment that was as unique as the skin itself, because for her the skin was a "mosaic of the most diverse needs, which must be preserved with an individualized beauty treatment. She combined the latest dermatological research with refined cosmetic craftsmanship. Maria Galland was convinced that the beauticians had gold in their hands because they control the intelligence, empathy and empathy of the person performing the treatment. The work with the hands is still an integral part of the brand Maria Galland.
Even today, more than 50 years later, this treatment method sets standards in beauty care worldwide. As a classical dancer, Maria Galland was aware of the power of touch and kinetic energy. She used this experience to create an effective choreography of manual movements - the Méthode Mosaïque Modelante, which is used today by the best beauty experts. This method is perfectly complemented by personalized lifestyle tips to give every woman a holistic experience with exceptional results.
In homage to the famous fashion designer and style icon Coco Chanel and their fragrance creation, Maria Galland called the anti-aging product of the first hour quite simply number 5 and thus laid the foundation for the brand-typical numerology.
Tell us a bit more about the person Maria Galland...
Maria Galland was a Grande Dame. For over 50 years her Esprit now fulfills the core of the brand. She was extremely charming, charismatic, perfectionist, beauty queen (Miss Paris 1962), beauty icon and benefactress treating burn victims free of charge - and of course a passionate dancer. She loved the dance and especially the ballet. For her, true beauty meant the energy that every woman carries. With her unique understanding of individual skin care, Maria Galland pioneered holistic beauty care. Holistic beauty meant for them - and the brand still today - to harmonize the inner and outer beauty with the "Méthode Beauté Active". This holistic approach of Maria Galland includes not only the treatments, but also the regular use of the product at home and a balanced Life Balance by e.g. healthy diet and exercise. These three pillars still determine the philosophy of the method of Maria Galland Paris.
Wie erklären Sie sich den internationalen Erfolg?
It all began in her Parisian apartment, when the beautiful Frenchwoman opened a kind of "bespoke beauty consultation" and with her avant-garde vision met the zeitgeist of this extraordinary era. In no time at all, the Grande Dame's brand literally expanded out of her living room into the city of beauty and fashion. Because of her overwhelming success, Maria Galland was soon able to set up her own research laboratories and manufacturing facilities, the ultimate places of beauty throughout Europe open. Today, over 10,000 beauty institutes and spas offer Maria Galland treatments and products. The Maria Galland brand has evolved from an exclusive Parisian beauty gem into an absolute love and must-have brand whose products and treatments are not only loved by royals and celebrities today! For privacy reasons, I can not name names, but I can tell you one thing - we'll see right away whether or not a skin is cared for with Maria Galland products. And one thing is certain: "Anyone who knows and uses Maria Galland will use the products forever." However, great premium products are only part of our strong brand. Rather, we at Maria Galland are also experts in facials. In principle, the just described, holistic approach of individualized care is our USP. The original success of course is also due to the strong spirit of innovation by our visionary Maria Galland!
What does your daily care routine look like? Do you have any tips for us?
It is important to know that every skin has different needs. Therefore, my tip would be to arrange a visit to a beautician. This can perform a skin analysis and based on this not only recommend the optimal care steps and products, but also recipes to make the holistic lifestyle optimal.
Regardless of the nature of the skin, however, basic "beauty rules" apply, which I define as my care routine. Cleansing is the ultimate in preventing skin blemishes. In contrast to the Koreans, who in their nursing routine take a second-consuming 14 steps, and are thus absolute care leaders, I follow my, I call it, personal, "Asian ritual": I like to use the 60 GEL DÉMAQUILLANT FRAÎCHEUR and then the 61 LAIT DÉMAQUILLANT DOUCEUR.
Serum and eye care are indispensable. The absolute luxury I indulge in: 1010 SÉRUM MILLE followed by 1000 CRÈME MILLE, with white truffle and 24-carat gold. Can nursing be more beautiful? After the serum, I also apply the wrinkle reducing eye cream 1020 CRÈME CONTOUR OF YEUX MILLE.
What many do not do: sun protection - even in winter. Unfortunately, since sun rays accelerate the aging process, it is essential to use a product like 97 CELL'DEFENSE. This invisible multi-protection care with highly effective ingredients protects the skin from external influences and cares intensively.
For a bit of color on the face of course, the right make-up must not be missing. For a perfect complexion I use 599 POUDRE PERFECTEUR ÉCLAT - 10 NATUREL. The 522 MASCARA SUPER DÉFINITION gives me an irresistible eye-opener. And finally my highlight: the long-lasting lipstick Rouge Pur - the red lips not only embody the Parisian chic - precious candelilla wax also softens my lips to kiss!
What is the biggest mistake when it comes to beauty care?
Who does not know it - you come home late in the evening and just want to fall into bed - without having to peel off. However, the cleansing of the skin is the basis of beautiful skin, and without it, blemishes have easy play. Metabolic processes that take place overnight on the skin are otherwise disturbed, as well as the regeneration of the skin cells.
For those who have made a small beauty sin and did not make-up before going to sleep: Apply 68 MASQUE PURIFIANT D-TOX to the skin the next morning and irregularities have no chance.
What can we do effectively to prevent premature aging?
Our "Méthode Beauté Active" not only ensures healthy skin, but also a look without pleats. Special treatments, individually depending on the condition of the skin, care products and lifestyle tips, especially a balanced diet, are the perfect combination to feel "forever young" and to radiate it. A good sunscreen is not only against sunburn, but also in terms of the formation of wrinkles a real bodyguard for the skin.
Which new products can we look forward to?
ULTIM'BOOST is the great novelty that Maria Galland will present from September of this year. The special thing about the Wunder-Boosters: no matter what kind of lifestyle we have, that is, whether we are the busy person or the esthete, for whom an attractive and vital look is part of their philosophy of life. Whether we are connoisseurs, so a woman full of zest for life that is completely satisfied with their age and their body, or rather the health conscious. The new beauty boosters in the beauty world address a variety of skin problems and their temporary, temporary causes. There will be six different boosters in the assortment that will address issues like too much sun, excessive sugar intake, aging, but also insomnia and stress. So it's worth looking in!
Do you have a beauty icon?
Clearly, Madame Galland. She was not only one of the greatest beauty icons of our time, but also a pioneer and business woman who had a vision and realized that dream. I believe in the beautiful wisdom that something is impossible until one comes and makes it possible. And she made many things possible. Maria Galland once said, "Beauty is a system of life, a philosophy." I am fascinated by not only selling care but a holistic beauty concept and a vision of beauty. "Madame Galland was a passionate woman whose wit, innovativeness and greatness Brand today we proudly carry on as heritage!
Dear Mrs. Juncker, thank you for the interview.
