The French beauty routine is often minimal, focusing on maintaining healthy skin and using beauty products sparingly and effectively.
“Embodying the French ethos for skincare means adopting a routine that’s simple, quick, yet highly effective,” says Roberson.
One of the most important aspects of a French regimen, she notes, is cleansing. “Double cleansing twice a day is essential. A cardinal rule we follow is never to retire for the night with makeup on. This is where products like micellar water prove invaluable.”
Another cornerstone of French skincare is moisturising. “It’s crucial in maintaining skin that looks hydrated and plump. And, of course, sunscreen is a must for skin protection,” Emilie adds.
However, Roberson cautions not to overlook body care. “One tip I always share is the use of body oils for lymphatic drainage massages. It’s a quintessentially French practice that’s immensely beneficial.”
