The French are renowned for their good looks. Below are 10 products to help you look like Parisians.
Biotherm
Biotherm is one of France's most renowned cosmetic brands and its range of luxury natural skin care products are now available worldwide. The company, which was founded in 1952, is now part of the L'Oreal group and is headquartered in Monaco. The brand's main ingredient has long been thermal plankton, whose properties help to rejuvenate the skin and keep it healthy. Some of the most popular products among French consumers are sunscreens and body milk (Lait Corporel). Although they are not cheap, they have a significant effect on the condition of the skin.
Vichy
Vichy is another of the most recognizable brands in France, which also uses thermal water and other natural active ingredients in its products. Thanks to their composition, the products retain moisture and vital nutrients in the skin. The brand has a wide range of products for both women and men and is known for its high quality and value for money. A significant part of Vichy's beauty philosophy is getting the right diagnosis before starting treatment. One of Superstar's products is the Normaderm line for blemish prone skin, a three-in-one cleanser that can be used as a cream, scrub and mask.
Nuxe
Nuxe is an ultra-natural brand that strives to harness the properties of plants and plant extracts such as rose petals and oils to promote skin health. With a wide range of high quality products, Nuxe is a must have for every girl traveling in Paris and beyond. The most successful product to date is the Huile prodiguese all-purpose dry oil, which can be applied to the face, body and hair. The oil has a fantastic scent. Other useful purchases include anti-aging and after-sun creams, which are available in French pharmacies in the spring and summer.
Yves-Rocher
Yves-Rocher researchers have worked hard to create a range of high-quality cosmetics that are environmentally friendly on a 100-acre organic farm in La Gasilly, Brittany. You can be 100% confident in the environmental awareness of the brand as it is certified by the Ecocert brand and carries the Cosmebio mark. Among the brand's most popular products are foundations and anti-aging serums. The Yves-Rocher brand is also known for its generous promotional offers. Promotions include free beauty treatments when purchased online.
Bioderma
Designed by dermatologists and originally conceived as a line of prescription medical procedures, Bioderma products have an excellent reputation and are respected by consumers. Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water is a favorite cleanser among models and makeup artists, as these products are surprisingly gentle and soothing. It is an ideal product for those with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. La Roche-Posay La Roche-Posay products are supplied on the recommendation of more than 25,000 dermatologists, which clearly speaks in favor of the products. In France, they are viewed as medicines rather than simple cosmetic procedures. The problems they solve include hair loss and skin irritation after shaving, as well as skin sensitivity in general. B5 Cicaplast Baume is a whole cream that works wonders for all skin types and is used to treat breakouts caused by dermatitis and other ailments. The cream is so gentle that it can even be used on babies. The sunscreen protection factor is also one of the highest in the world.
Caudalie
The Caudalie brand was created in 1993 by the owners of a vineyard in Bordeaux. The brand uses the active ingredients found in grapes. The ingredients include fruits, their vines, roots, leaves, and natural mineral water. The products do not contain paraffins, parabens, phthalates, mineral oils or artificial colors. These potentially harmful ingredients have been replaced with elements like shea butter and orange and lemon extracts. One of their best products is lip conditioner, which costs € 4.50 ($ 5.58; Ј 3.93).
Avene
There is no pharmacy in France that does not sell Avine products. All products come from the brand's personal thermal spring, where the water is tested every day for its purity. Some skin care products address problems such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and burns. Avine also offers services such as body wrap, hydroheliotherapy and underwater massage. What's more, the clear winner is Eau Thermale Avine Spring Water Spray, a spray that can revitalize oily, dry or irritated skin overnight. The range of anti-allergenic makeup is also popular.
Klorane
Klorane doesn't have the same range of products as other brands on this list, but its focus is on quality, not quantity, of natural shampoos, conditioners, dry shampoos, and makeup removers. Plant extracts such as nettle, oats, mango, citrus, peony, pomegranate, almond and chamomile are key ingredients in the products. Dry shampoo is a favorite among buyers. It contains oat milk, which softens the hair. Apparently Karl Lagerfeld is a big shampoo fan. Other popular purchases include chamomile shampoo, which helps bring out these highly needed sunshine strands.
Melvita
Melvita products are 100% organic and contain no preservatives, emollients, surfactants or antiperspirants. Based on the results of consumer testing of anti-aging products, 96% of women surveyed said their wrinkles were smoothed out, 91% of buyers noted skin hydration, and 86% of respondents said their skin became firmer. Another great product to pamper yourself with is the Nectar Bright Exfoliating Mask, which has a radiant effect.
