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!

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.

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.
