French women have the most beautiful complexions.   They approach beauty in a very natural way and look to products to give them that dewy, effortless look.   The look though is nothing but effortless.  A tremendous amount of work goes into looking "natural." and an array of products makes this possible.  The place where most Frenchwomen shop for their beauty and hair products is City Pharma.  Here you will find discounts of 30 to 40%  on popular brands such as Bioderma, Vichy, Roc, Caudalie and Roger et Gallet.

Here are some of the products my French friends use.

Micellar water is the latest makeup remover and toner.  The water is made up of microscopic oil particles that cleanses the skin without stripping it of  oil.   A favorite  is Le Couvent des Minimes ,
3 in 1  Micellar water which is a blend of rose water and wild rose hip polyphenols and rose essence.

Bioderma Crealine H2O-  Fabulous makeup remover that is very gentle to your skin. Models love this product. This is another micellar water.

Darphin Aromatic Renewing Balm has essential oils, spices, medicinal plants and flowers in its formula, giving your skin a glow in the morning when used at night.

Avene-D- Pigment Rich Dark Spot Remover - Enriched with plant based oils, apply nightly for improved texture and appearance of skin.

Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk- A shampoo that gets your hair clean without water.  This dry shampoo gives you volume but removes the oily look from hair, leaving it soft and full.

Avibon -  A Vaseline type cream that is loaded with Vitamin A.  Use it on lips, dry cuticles, rub it on feet  and  use sparingly  on skin to give yourself a glow.
