Nowadays we think nothing about keeping healthy, and holistic treatments including diet and spa therapies are seen as normal, rather than niche, activities. It was not always so. A quarter of a century ago, Jan de Winter was unusual in promoting healthy living as a way of preventing cancer. Realizing that conventional treatments were not the answer to this disease, Dr de Winter spent his life teaching people how to avoid cancer by changing their lifestyles and looking after their health. And ever since establishing the UK's first Cancer Prevention and Health Optimization Clinic in 1986, his research has proved invaluable to health authorities and governments worldwide.

It was Dr de Winter who encouraged his then fifteen-year-old daughter Daniele to write 'What the Doctor Ordered', a simple food guide whose aim was to make healthy eating more tempting and less of an inconvenience. An international success, it was followed six years later by Daniele’s companion volume, the bestselling 'Eat Yourself Beautiful'.

Now living on the French Riviera, Daniele de Winter has become in her own right one of the most respected names in the field of anti-aging therapies. Her Monaco-based company, launched in 2006 in the presence of Prince Albert, has pioneered a unique system, INSIDEOUT beauty™, which combines delicious health drinks with highly effective skin treatments. The secret, we're told, is the proprietary blend of enzymes, antioxidants, and amino acids that work deep within the dermis to encourage tissue regeneration.

The resulting improvement in skin density, elasticity and hydration produces not only a healthier skin but that deep and long-lasting youthfulness and beauty much in demand among Daniele de Winter's fans, who include actresses Ornella Muti, Margherita Buy and Catherine Deneuve, pop stars Nathalie and Nicole Appleton and models Alexandra Kamp and India Waters.

In addition to their presence in Monaco, Daniele de Winter products are now to be found at a host of glittering events such as the Oscars, the Emmys, and the Cannes and Venice Film festivals.

Daniele has always believed the spa to be the ideal environment in which to seduce a customer towards a healthier, more beautiful way of living, Luxury hotels across the world - including the Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons and Kempinski groups - have long used de Winter beauty products as an integral part of their spa treatments, and it's no surprise that this year de Winter have opened their own spa.

Located in Cannes, just behind the Croisette, the luxurious venue offers clients a '360 degree' beauty experience where they can receive bespoke anti-aging advice, a consultation with one of the Côte d’Azur’s most respected cosmetic doctors, rejuvenating facials, relaxing or slimming body treatments and even a total makeover by a celebrity make-up artist. 'Our mission', Daniele tells us, 'is to help every woman we meet feel and look absolutely fabulous'.
