Hermès Plein Air Complexion Balm, Santal at John Lewis & Partners

Beauty embraces the open air with the natural enhancing complexion balm. It elevates the skin with a weightless veil of sheer colour and a radiant natural finish that lasts for an impeccable eight hours*. The complexion becomes instantly even and translucent. Skin is hydrated, enhanced and protected. Its fragrance, created by Christine Nagel, blends the delicacy of arnica with sandalwood and green tea.

Its melting and enveloping texture smooths softly into every contour of the face.

The complexion balm offers adjustable coverage, with each of the 12 translucent shades in the range adapting to two or three skin tones.

The complexion balm takes care of the skin. It is formulated with a hyaluronic acid complex for long-lasting hydration, and evening primrose oil and Baikal skullcap to help protect the skin from external aggressors and pollution.

Its cap is engraved with the iconic ex-libris, while the tube bears a coloured band that makes it easy to identify the shade. The box is made from recycled cardboard.
