If you refer to my French Beauty article, you can see where my love for French products stems from. These are incredible cult French pharmacy products, and are sure to enhance your daily routine. I hope you enjoy! XO
Micellar Water
I never wash my face with water unless in the shower, and only remove face wash and makeup with micellar water. I personally use Bioderma, but La Roche-Posay also works great!
Face Lotion
These cult favorite face lotions are non-comedogenic, and have amazing results in protecting and repairing the skin.
Lotion
This Embryolisse lotion is so velvety smooth, and feels so luxurious on your skin. It definitely helps to keep your skin hydration levels up!
Ointment
Homeoplasmine can be applied in a similar way as vasaline, but it is even better! I like to put it on my lips overnight to combat chapped lips.
Dry Shampoo
Klorane’s dry shampoo is loved by so many for a reason. It is very lightweight yet effective, and does not cause irritation to the scalp. I have linked both the original and the dark hair version.
Shampoo
Phyto makes great hair products, and I especially love their shampoo and hair mask.
Hair Mask
This hair mask is very hydrating, and can also be used as a more heavy duty conditioner.
Body Scrub
This is my favorite body scrub to keep in my shower lineup. The beads are not too harsh, but is still very effective in giving a good exfoliation. It also smells super yummy!
Hydration Mist
These hydration mists are an absolute must to have in your beauty cabinet. The Avene one can especially be used if you are having irritations, which is perfect for my allergy prone skin.
Beauty Vitamins
Leave it up to the French to create beauty vitamins that actually work! My professional hairstylist also publicly recommends this product for hair growth.
Multipurpose Oil
This is the French cult dry oil which can be used on the face, hair, and even cuticles! Definitely a great staple to keep in your beauty cabinet.
Eye Mask
These Klorane eye mask patches are made with cornflower and plant-based hyaluronic acid. Put them in the fridge beforehand for a cooling effect!
Retinol/Vitamin A
A313 is a French Pharmacy favorite for anyone who integrates retinol in their skincare routine.
Hylauronic Acid Cream
Ialuset is another cult product, and helps with smoothing fine lines and skin turnover.
