If you walk into any bookshop and head to the fashion and lifestyle section, you’ll find the shelves lined with various books filling you in on the style of French women. Beauty is right up there too, as long before we had French pharmacy brands in the UK, trips on the Eurostar always ended with bags of creams and potions that only reside on the other side of the channel.
There’s an effortlessness that so many French women exude and mastering simple yet extremely effective skincare routines is just one of the ways they do it. While it can be incredibly thrilling hunting out the latest buzzy ingredients, there’s something very satisfying about being a spy on the wall in someone else’s beauty routine.
So, we decided to ask the questions we know you’ve all wanted to know and asked some of the amazing French women whose style and beauty routines we admire, to share their beauty secrets with us.
