Step by Step
Charlize Theron’s Favorite Sunscreen and Serums
Usually the first thing I do in the morning is wake up my daughters because their alarms are going off but apparently they can’t hear them. Then I brush my teeth. I’m a Sensodyne girl and use an Oral-B electric toothbrush. I’m a big proponent of brushing your tongue; I’m also a twice-a-day flosser. I don’t use face wash in the morning — I prefer not to wash off all the moisture that I’ve tried to put into my skin the night before. If there’s dry weather, I’ll use a light serum, like Dior’s Le Sérum from Dior’s Capture line, or 111Skin’s Vitamin C Booster. Other times I’ll just wear my Clé de Peau SPF 50+ sunblock. The color is this soft pink, and it’s incredibly creamy, so it feels like you’re putting on moisturizer. I’m a fan of dry brushing and I’m a really big lover of a steam. I’ll add some eucalyptus essential oil and do some breathing. I have a giant bottle of Kiehl’s grapefruit body wash that lasts forever. When I get out of the shower, I do a pretty solid skin routine. I start with the Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water. Then I put on a hydrogel face mask and use the Dior Prestige Le Pétale tool lightly over it — it might be the totally wrong way to do it, but I really like it. I love all the Capture serums, and I’ll alternate between the Retishot and Hyalushot, which I only use once or twice a week because it lasts. And I love the Capture Totale Intensive Restorative Night Creme. I want something that’s got a heavy tone to it when I go to bed because in the morning it feels like I’m just saturated with moisture. I’m not very blonde right now — for this movie, “Apex,” I’m shooting in Australia, I’m quite natural — and am taking care of my hair with Olaplex’s shampoo and conditioner.

An Akris Handbag That’s a Tribute to Its Founder
The eastern Swiss city of St. Gallen has long been a center of textile development, going back to the Middle Ages when local flax crops fueled a booming linen industry. It was here in 1922 that Alice Kriemler-Schoch founded the company that would eventually become known as Akris (a shortened version of her name). The company initially specialized in the production of aprons; it added a range of women’s ready-to-wear in the mid-1940s. Handbags were introduced much later, in 2009, under the direction of Kriemler-Schoch’s grandson Albert Kriemler, who took on creative direction of Akris in 1980, a position he still holds today. Now, Kriemler is introducing a new bag, the Alice, in tribute to its founder. Made of Italian calf leather, it features a tripartite interior within a rectilinear body and is topped with a curved handle. An optional strap allows its user to wear the bag across the body or slung over one shoulder, as it was worn when it debuted at Akris’s spring 2025 runway show in Paris. Echoing the palette of the brand’s seasonal ready-to-wear offering, the bag will be introduced in four shades: a sandy ecru, blush pink, pearly white and black with gold hardware. Available for preorder, $3,490, Akris.com.

A Glass Flacon Designed by a Parisian Facialist
When Anouk Biard opened her skin-care studio in Paris in 2021, the facialist — who practices kobido, a traditional Japanese massage technique — furnished her Ninth Arrondissement space with just a handful of antiques, including a Josef Hoffman chair and an Art Deco vitrine. An array of 1930s French inkwells and Chinese snuff bottles, filled with the organic oils that she incorporates into her signature treatment, lined the shelves. “You don’t need much, but what you do have should be beautiful,” says Biard. This month, she debuted her own glass flacon, which is handblown in Toulouse and packaged in a pouch made from 18th-century silk. The first run is limited to 45 bottles — 10 of which can be found at New York City’s Desert Vintage boutique — and sold alongside seven facial oils, including skin-softening safflower and a vibrant red St. John’s wort. Biard also imagines the 100-milliliter vessel going beyond the vanity: “You could even fill it with olive oil in your kitchen,” she says. “Why not?” $498, available at Desert Vintage in New York and Anouk Biard in Paris; email anoukbiardkobido@gmail.com for more information.
