Beauty in Paris


Oh! la La! What beauty means for the Parisienne Woman


Classic Parisienne beauty comes without fuss: their fresh youthful skin adorned with very little make-up glows with austere beauty. A touch of blush, mascara and a lip color are as much as French women will apply. Skincare rituals have been part of their daily lives since they were young, instilled by their mothers and grandmothers.


Frenchwomen love to invest in their skincare and beauty products. With simplicity, and regularly visits to her beauty therapist for facials she knows will maintain her dewy fresh complexion today, but also for many, many years to come. Facials are not deemed a luxury by Frenchwomen, they are considered essential, to keep that clear, natural and youthful complexion.


Did you know that Guinot has 1,680 spas in France, and is THE undisputed leader with over fifty percent of the professional skincare market? Guinot also has an award wining lab in France, and ensures verification, monitoring and traceability of all products. This is one of the many reasons that I have worked with Guinot since the early eighties.


Here are a few ways to bring out that inner Parisienne woman in you:


French women take of themselves first, and are more aware of their elegance and femininity. Take care of YOU, then it’s so much easier to take care of others, honestly! Just ask a French woman.


Wash your skin twice a day, and avoid soap, always. French women prefer cleansing lotions, hydrating creams for the face and body and would NEVER go to bed with make-up on. Never.


Famous for their slender appearance the French woman’s diet is always fresh. Fruits and vegetables in small portions, processed foods have no place on their dinner plates.


Exercise: why? When you can go to a spa instead. (love this one!)
