Beauty

French skincare is often about simplicity, purity, and what we long for. Unscrew the lid, take a small dollop in your palm, and close your eyes. Inhale the scent of citrus, orange blossom, and feel the sun on your skin, sun-bleached linen tablecloths, and the joy of the smooth, rich cream between your fingers. Now you're there, Les Grandes Vacances.

A dab of hand cream by the sink before your hands get too dry, body lotion with enriching shea butter right after a shower. This is French skincare you use every day, making an ordinary Tuesday evening shower feel like a hotel room in Provence.
