French Women Would Love Votre Vu

What’s the secret to the getting that beautiful French skin?

Five key factors why the French women have such beautiful skin:

French women value beautiful skin. They take great pride in how they look. Monthly facials are a regular part of a women’s life in France. Here in the United States we unfortunately are so busy with our lives that we seldom, if ever take time to relax and pamper ourselves. American women tend to see skin care from a clinical point of view, while French women often consider their time at the vanity as a pleasurable part of their day.

1. Begin Early

French women start getting their monthly facials at as early as 15. They know that that how they take care of their skin at a young age determines how their skin’s health will be in the future. American women don’t typically start taking good care of their skin until it is later in life and they are battling their past skin sins.

2. Less Is More with Makeup

The French woman takes great pride in their appearance and the beauty of their skin, therefore, they never cover it up with heavy makeup. Makeup is used to only enhance their beauty.

3. Nothing Harsh

Americans have embraced using professional skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, lasers and chemical peels. The French don’t utilize these invasive procedures due to the prevention they have taken with their skin from a very early age and they don’t need to seek treatments to fix the damage done to the skin.

4. Skin Care Products

French women religiously care for their skin at home and utilize a gentle cleanser, toner and moisturizer every morning and evening. The products they utilize are more “natural” using a higher content of botanicals and essential oils. They won’t use harsh or invasive ingredients that my sting and cause irritation. Many American women have the attitude that if they can’t feel it working then it must not be working.

5. Minimal Cosmetic Surgery

Self acceptance and natural beauty are very strong points for French women. There are very few that have had plastic surgery or Botox.

While you may have not taken the early steps that the French women do…it is NEVER too late to start a good skin care program. It has been proven that premium products can help reverse signs of aging and slow down the process.
