Last Friday, I had the unique chance to attend a special evening at The Dolder Grand in Zurich, a hotel I always wanted to see and stay at. Luxury beauty brand Dr Burgener from Lausanne hosted me for an evening of another kind: The Science of Beauty. Celebrating the new partnership between one of the world’s most luxurious beauty brands and Switzerland’s leading luxury hotel spa, the evening was all about skincare, creativity, personalization and luxury treats including champagne by Louis Roederer, as one of the partners supporting this exclusive evening. All food products served on that evening were related to the different ingredients you find in the cosmetic creams, which was a very creative way to introduce the products. Even though, I have to admit I never tried the brand before, also because it is not available in Munich or Austria yet, the concept of Mrs Dr Pauline Burgener is very interesting and I am sure her success story with the most luxurious spas will continue to grow very fast. Since we are travelling a lot and spending most of our time in airplanes, considering we mostly have a weekend to travel, it is essential for us to use the right beauty products. There is nothing worse than arriving at a destination, having to work from the first moment and looking like you’re back from a night out. That’s why we only depend on high quality products tailored to our skin type using the best ingredients.

About the brand
It all began in 1955 when Dr Marc Burgener, a plastic surgeon founded the Burgener range, which was then later taken over by his daughter-on-law Dr Pauline Burgener after she had obtained her PhD Biology degree at the University of Lausanne. Thanks to her medical knowledge she developed her own brand, Dr Burgener. In twenty years, she had created her own spa and treatment line that carries her name. Today, the leading visionary in personalized luxury skincare, beauty and rejuvenation has conceded an important success around the world. Her products have been placed in the most sumptuous hotel spas worldwide, such as the Four Seasons Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, George V Paris, New York, London, Hotel des Bergues Geneva, Moscow and St. Petersburg as well as Palazzo Versace and Four Seasons, Atlantis and Six Senses in Dubai and in Switzerland, at the Grand Hotel du Lac – a Relais & Chateau in Vevey. Pauline goes far beyond a care product, she creates for certain customers astonishing products. For example, for the Russian market, she developed a range using black caviar. There is nothing to stand in the way of this dynamic woman and her line of 100 % Swiss made cosmetic products. The Dr Burgener cosmetic products are unique in that they analyze your skin before applying the appropriate care treatment. The line of products is designed using state- of-the-art techniques. Dr Burgener is top-quality made-to- measure cosmetics just for you and place the emphasis on your skin.
