Bonjour my lovelies, I found similar or same products on Amazon (in the description) so you can enjoy your French products too! Have a fabulous week lots of love xxxxx
Thank you for the nice hint to refrigerate products for summer. I keep perfumes & nail polish in the refrigerator, they last for years so I have the excuse to buy a big variety. Mrs Z
here in brazil it is very easy to find all these products, any good pharmacy has Avene, Vichy, La roche ... Lancome and others in good beauty stores. The biafine has another names, but is the same active ingredient: Trolamine salicycate. We like a lot red lipsstick and red or nude nails, and long nails are vulgar for us too.
Fre’de’rique, Thank you so much for your beautiful help. Sometimes I tear up because you share your “secrets” , do it with truth , humor and from the heart. Of course we need the products, but it’s your heart that makes me want to try something or make a needed change. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
These are all amazing products! My first experience with most of them was when, as a teenager, I became friends with a French exchange student. She taught me all about French beauty, and it’s been a lifelong love of everything French ever since 💕
I spent much of my childhood in France. The first products I was given as a child was rose water and tartine et chocolat perfume. My mum then taught me how to take care of my skin. I now use bioderma, la roche posay, a313 and caudalie on repeat. I live in the UK but swear by my French skincare, beauty regimes and my french way of dressing. I prefer to have less but better quality. I always feel groomed and put together. Vive La France ❤
Just an FYI - all these French products sold in the US have different sunscreen filters in them than the ones available in Europe (not as good). If you want the originals you have to get them IN Europe or if you live in a border state you can get the good filters in Canada and Mexico. It’s really sad. But I also wanted to say - I love finding a new Frédérique video at the end of a long busy day! It’s like catching up with a bestie!!
I am of both American and French Nationality. I have La Roche-Posay Thermal Water in my skin care regimen! My aesthetician showed it to me and I thought right away, “This is is so French!” All my skin care products here in the the States come from my aesthetician so there is also Obagi, Skin Ceuticals, Skin Medica and Alastin. Love the words “Effet Mordu.” Merci pour votre contribution!
L’Oréal has a Voluminous Noir Balm mascara that has a telescopic type brush but it puts kind of a lush soft lash look. It’s WONDERFUL! There is a black and a brown and they are both really lovely. They are up on Amazon..my new favorite!
I was in Paris a couple years ago and had dinner at the home of my friend's French parents. The mother took me to her bathroom medicine cabinet and showed me the products she uses on her beautiful skin. L'Oreal everything. I've become a big fan. I haven't tried the mascara, but will get some soon. Thank you! This is your best video yet.
Ah, Nuxe! 😍 My absolute favourite! I love their sun screen, I use it everyday, especially on the hands and on the face, as a daycream. I mix it with a little bit of foundation (Vichy Liftactiv Flexiteint, n.45 - Doré), et voilá!, I have my very own BB cream 😊
Oooo how i love these tips, i want to order everything! Thank you Frederique, i am going to order some products and i realy love these videos. Please eductate us on French skincare, especially for ladies in their fourties/fifties.
Your skin looks great. Love the way French women take care of their skin & body. When we were there I was amazed at how little make up they use & they still look great. They do eat a lot of bread & pastry & still look thin. I noticed they eat a lot of salads , cheese & drink wine.💖🇺🇸 Pamela
Such a great video! I love Avene thermal water and their spf 50+. By the way, your comment about who tends to wear red nail polish or not made me smile. 😊 I am Norwegian. I do have rather short nails, and I love wearing red nail polish. 😊 Thank you for the great tips and yet another lovely video! ❤️
I super love this vlog! I love using French beauty products like Avene, Lancome,Nuxe, Clarins and the perfume of Chanel. All the products you recommended are available here in the Philippines. I feel lucky to have been exposed early in the wonderful skincare products of the French. I learned that to have a beautiful appearance one must focus on the basics which is skincare and use reputable brands for it. It is an investment but all worth it. You dont need to pile on make up if you have a great skin. I adhere to a French girl lazy beauty rule. Red lipstick, nice skin and not so perfect hair. Beauty must be effortless but it requires discipline. Love your content, Frederique ! Thanks heaps .
So pleased to see Nuxe made the top 10! I live in the U.K. and have been using their range for about 10 years…. It has transformed my skin. A great video, thank you 🥂
I use the Nuxe gold on my hair. It's perfect for giving a bit of definition to curls, I mix it with wet hands and then kind of pull it through the tips of my hair. Mind you I am strawberry blonde :) La Roche Posay and Avene are my staples, but Nivea is what works at night with a light mist of Avene under it. I used Chanel skin products for some time as they didn't react with my hyper sensitive skin, but then I saw that there was PABA in the sunscreen. The consultant didn't believe it til I showed her. I've had laser resurfacing (Mixto) and La Roche Posay Anthelios is the best face sunscreen, it just works and you don't even know it's there. BTW, still on the hunt for a mascara that is just basically colour. I've always bought the blue Cover Girl one and it's hard to get now. I don't need clumps and length, just a bit of colour really. The Loreal I bought could be used to fill cracks in the asphalt!
Hi Heather, just a thought: if you are not looking for mascara to add any volume, length or curl to your lashes, have you thought about getting your lashes tinted and lifted instead of using mascara? This might give you the effect you’re looking for.
Just got Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse yesterday for the first time & i’m loving it! I currently have Vichy , embryolisse lait-crème & La roche-postay products & i plan to add some more french brands as these have been doing great for my sensitive asian skin 💕
I enjoyed trying a few of these products from city pharma when I visited Paris in 2019. Came back with a suitcase full. Can’t wait to visit again. I love biafine and embryolice creams
I love Avene products. Especially Cicalfate and Tolerance Control Recovery Cream. Very good for sensitive skin. Typology is also a line that is made in France and I was very pleased with their Squalane/Shea Butter/Hyaluronic Acid moisturizer.
Oooh, Nuxe! I have been using it for several years. Such a gorgeous fragrance - and so lovely on your skin. There is now a dedicated floral dry oil too (which is pale pink) which can easily double as a light day perfume. I love Nuxe's Reve de Miel body cream/body butter too. Great coverage and very moisturising. What about the Embryolisse Last-Crème Concentré? I use it as a skin primer and also as a masque. Now to source Biafine in Australia 🤔
I use the Avene Thermal water like this: after cleansing I don't dry my face, instead, I spray it with Avene water. After about 30 seconds I apply a hyaluronic acid serum, I like Hada Labo HA lotion. After about a minute, I seal it in with moisturizer. I use the Hada Labo milk or Embryolisse usually. When that has dried down I then apply my spf for daytime, or I may follow with treatments at night. The key is to get hyaluronic acid serum onto wet skin, and then seal it with moisturizer before it evaporates. I think the Thermal water helps to lower the ph just a shade, and it does seem to help healing spots of irritation. Love you Frederique 🙂❤
So glad you have Clarins ED in your bathroom ❤️ French pharmacy skincare is more superior than some of the products you can get from department store cosmetic counters and day spas! Avene is so light, and gentle. I trust that brand a lot!
Very true! One of my fave things to do in France was go to their pharmacies. They have so many beauty products. Men were also purchasing a lot of skincare!
I felt so proud that I had several of these brands. I did a lot of research and found these brands. I have extremely fair skin. These products have brought my skin back to life. I do use Botox on the forehead and crow’s feet. But my skin now looks more fresh and smoother. Half the time I just have to use light makeup on the eyes with a little blush on the cheeks and I am done. I love Pixie mascara in brown. I am a red head and it achieves a more natural look.
I HAVE Biafine but i use it for oven burns as i am a pastry chef. I discovered this product whilst studying in Paris. I didn't know i could use it as a mask. That is incredible. Going to try it right now. Thank you for sharing your secret Frederique. I am proud to say i have used products from all the the companies mentioned above except RoC. I am not sure they are a French brand anymore. I think they were bought by an American Company. Anyhoo, my favourite high end French brand will always be Sisley. I use their skincare and haircare and make up too. I love, love , love their products. I will always stay loyal to them. Nuxe honey shower gel, always reminds me of Paris, as i used it religiously when living there. Embryolisse hand cream is another love of my life. Great on the face too esp in winter. BTW Frederique, the mascara you recommended..the Telescopic one, is amazing. Will never use another one. Also last but no the least, you looking exceptionally lover and tre chic in this top.
Thank you for the input. I became aware of the Nuxe Shower Gel yesterday through a package gift and fell in love with it. Thanks to your video, the oil is now soaking in. Greetings from Germany and have a great week. 🌹
My mother gave me my first skin cleanser and toner at 14. It was Vichy and I still use the brand. I got hooked in Lancome with Renergie about 24? years ago and they sadly discontinued ut. I still use their eye makeup remover. Perfume: Chanel No 5, YSL Paris, Nina Ricci L'air de Temps, Cabotine de Gres.
Yes I love looking like I didn't try to look so good, barely there in the lip, love the tips. You made me laugh when you said that you should probably not put the bottle of spray in the fridge in the winter. ♥️♥️
Thank you for all those tips Frederique! I will use each and every one of them! I have been working from home during COVID and I will sometimes wear red lipstick for myself! It always picks me up and makes me feel great!
If you haven’t tried La Roche Posay mascara , you should . 20 years later...... it’s the best . Create a very natural look . Made with beeswax so smells nice 👍. And really easy to remove, so important for eye area . 😍
Such amazing products! French perfume, red lips, red short nails... I love it all! Merci Beaucoup Frédérique for sharing, and helping us all find ways to feel beautiful!
Sanctuary spa are one of my favourite brands for body oils cream lotions scrubs they smell amazing i love the original in peach package but the pink one and yellow and purple now the red are all beautiful scents they do amazing face masks too and skincare and they're reasonable prices
Discovered Nuxe a few years ago and the fragrance is devine. The oil is wonderful on my hair, only use a very small amount, rub it in my palms and just pat it over my hair, makes such a difference.
This year I have treated myself to Vichy skincare. Foaming gel wash, facial scrub, mineral 89 boost, eye gel, moisturiser and more. Thank you for the tip about putting your perfume and Avene mist in the fridge.
I dye jeans too. Using Dylon machine dye. They have a jeans dye but I like it darker so I use navy. I find clothes don't fade if you wash them inside out
Agreed - skincare is key I also adore the ritual it’s “me” time - can’t go past Chanel lipsticks and many of their other products - Clarins still provides fabulous products at a good price point - I’ll also enjoying quite a few Drunk Elephant products as well as Laura Mercier cosmetics, her translucent powder is the best. Always on the hunt for the perfect Mascara - really loving the Hourglass mascara atm - love ❤️ your channel Cherie’ - just spritzed myself with the Avene thermal water. Something I am never without is the Bioderma Micelleur water
Frederique, your choices are spot on! Biafine is magic! I also like LaRoche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Cream. Like Biafine you can use as a mask in winter. Re perfumes, I’m a fan of Chanel but lately I’ve switched to Aesop’s perfumes which have a more earthy, natural fragrance and I find more subtle & wearable. I love yr ‘less is more’ approach. Xxx
Dearest Frédérique this video is just perfect. I love Italian perfumes like Bottega Veneta or Armani however your Coco Noir is a must have. Thank you for your recommendations French Pharmacy is very popular in Italy 💓
Hello! I just found this beautiful channel- how divine! I was smiling so much, I must be French inside! I use SPF, biotherm, Avene, la Roche posay & parfum always! So comforting to know these products & brands are well regarded 💗
I just check what I have today in my bathroom: Sanoflo, A derma, Avène, Nuxe, Crèmes de la pharmacie des marronniers, la Sultane de Saba (who is France with moroccan touch).... and so much more :) Could you make a video about parfum especially for hot weather ? 😘💛
Dear Frederique, Love this top... you always look stunning in it! Also, Bravo! I have been waitng for you to stop doing fast fashion. I know it is a process. You have so much to give... you do not need something new every time at all. Thank you for being there for us. Your work is very meaningful to me... especially in these days of COVID.... I send you love and gratitude! Silvia
What a classy lady! Love you Frédérique and your recommendations! The only lines I haven’t tried are Caudalie & the last one (not heard of). I adore Lancôme & L’Oréal - I always seem to go back to them. Thank you very much! 😘
I love Avene milk cleanser, and if that is out of stock I use La Roche-Posay Toleraine, but my favourite French product is Clarins Blue Orchid Treatment oil at night. It feeds my skin, it was a great help during the stressful Covid period for me.
Hello I use many products from these brands, thanks for sharing your experience. I'm Portuguese and here in Portugal we also use Biafine a lot. Biafine has saved me many times from burns in the kitchen, scratches, the redness that I have with age, ... I always have my tube in the fridge, I always apply it fresh on the skin! The sensation is wonderful and incredible as my skin is so oily, it absorbs Biafine so well, without getting oily. Biafine is always the emulsion I apply on my face and neck after a summer day spent at the beach or pool (or sun exposure)! I do biafine night mask 1x/week all year round! kisses Maria
This video really made me smile. I've lived in France for 25 years and I use nearly all of these products or brands - my cleanser is Avène XeraCalm oil, my mascara is La Roche Posay Toleriane or Avène Couvrance, I always have a tube of Biafine on hand (though I haven't tried it as a mask!), and the Nuxe oil. I use CeraVe Baume Hydratante as my moisturiser and night cream - it is wonderful, more like a thin wax than a cream, not greasy or oily at all. As my sunblock I use what my dermo ordered - Daylong Actinica, which is Swiss. My red lipstick is Chanel, my pink one is BoHo Green, my lip balm is Klorane, my foundation is Maybelline, my face powder is Caron. I also like Dr Pierre Ricaud products, and Decléor. When in doubt, I always head for the pharmacie. And for perfume - Serge Lutens is perhaps my favourite brand.
Hi Frederique. I use Avene body lotion and it is the body lotion for an older skin I have ever used. Well worth the money. I also use the thermal water. So refreshing. Cheers to you. Bev xx ♥️
I love B-Protect SPF 50+ when I dont want to ware any makeup because it protects and it has a very light coloured micro pigments that make my skin smooth
I’m 24 and have been using Lancome skincare for years now. You can never go wrong!! I always get complimented on my skin. Highly recommend and SO worth the investment 🥰💓
.... Runs to the bathroom to get the Biafine .... I didn't know that! I have this huge Biafine tube which I bought in a French pharmacy when indeed I had some sunburn, and this is what was advised. Merci Frédérique, I'll take a masque this weekend with Biafine ❤
~Merci~ I remember saving up my money as a teenager to purchase Evian water spray. I just knew it would make me gorgeous! 😃 I started taking good care of my skin at an early age. Never perfect, but always taking care with cleansing and moisturizing. I did however love my outdoors, and lots of sun exposure. (worked in the Caribbean) If I did not use sunscreen I would have burned to a crisp. I feel lucky my skin isn't worse than it is, even with the use of SPF. I have yet to try anything by Avene but have only heard good things. This is my first time here and I LOVE your very european esthetic. Very classic. Especially the black & white. 💖 Pharmacies abroad are so much fun to shop! As a blonde with blue eyes, pale skin, I occasionally use red lipstick, but my preference is always pink. (it's not as harsh looking) Nuxe was also something I purchased years ago, but never repurchased. PS) I thought for sure Decleor would be on your list. I loved their aromatic oil especially. Smelled so lovely. And the oil was beautiful on face and body. Wish they would bring it back. See you again. Enjoy your day 🌿🕊️💕🌍
Nuxe is the best! I use their eye cream, Nuxellence detox and the reve de miele lip balm. It’s been so hard to get their products here. But, finally online retailers have come through.
Oh yes Frederique, Nuxe oil is my most favourite treat to myself. I first found and tried it 7 years ago and I adore it. As you say, the scent is heavenly. It is something I want to spoil myself with forever. And I also love L'Oréal. Fantastic products and pricing. Thanks for sharing. 💐
I got that Lancôme mascara I don’t like the brush 🤔 mine I didn’t notice any smell actually. Thanks for the tips definitely going to check Avene BB cream
I, too am addicted to Nuxe oil. I also wear it to bed because it makes my skin soft and my sheets smell so yummy. I use the gold one on my legs and arms, especially in the summer. Recently, I found that they make a very reasonably priced cologne, so I use that, too. Love it! Next time I go to France my first stop (after the boulangerie) will be the pharmacy for all those wonderful products. For now, I get them from Amazon.
Bonjour my lovelies, I found similar or same products on Amazon (in the description) so you can enjoy your French products too! Have a fabulous week lots of love xxxxx
That is a big help...thank you so much !! Love you🌟 and the channel !! 💖💖💖 from Southern California☀️
I bought Biafine from Amazon the other day, after your recommendation. My 50 year old skin thanks you!!! ❤️

same "quality" goes for the Eastern Europe
100% agree on the telescopic mascara. I keep thinking there is a new and “better” option out there but nope Telescopic is the best!!
I am of both American and French Nationality. I have La Roche-Posay Thermal Water in my skin care regimen! My aesthetician showed it to me and I thought right away, “This is is so French!” All my skin care products here in the the States come from my aesthetician so there is also Obagi, Skin Ceuticals, Skin Medica and Alastin.

Wow that technique of dabbing red lipstick makes a big difference to the look . Surprised Clarins wasn't mentioned. great video thank you .
I use to sell Clarins in the States. Today, I mostly use their body products.
Thanks for watching!
L’Oréal has a Voluminous Noir Balm mascara that has a telescopic type brush but it puts kind of a lush soft lash look. It’s WONDERFUL! There is a black and a brown and they are both really lovely. They are up on Amazon..my new favorite!
I like L'OREAL too.
You always put a smile on my face, God bless you.
I LOVE NUXE!!! Love to you from an Italian-Australian 👌🏻♥️
you look better than most women who get botox and fillers. natural beauty is the best.
I was in Paris a couple years ago and had dinner at the home of my friend's French parents. The mother took me to her bathroom medicine cabinet and showed me the products she uses on her beautiful skin. L'Oreal everything. I've become a big fan.

One of my favorite things to do in France is explore skincare at the pharmacie. Nuxe is brilliant! 💛Thank you for another wonderful video 🙏
Your skin looks great. Love the way French women take care of their skin & body. When we were there I was amazed at how little make up they use & they still look great. They do eat a lot of bread & pastry & still look thin. I noticed they eat a lot of salads , cheese & drink wine.💖🇺🇸 Pamela
I use the Nuxe floral scented line. Smells divine and feels luscious.
You are so fabulous. I am from Singapore and luckily we have alot of these products in our pharmacies too. Will try them out.
Such a great video! I love Avene thermal water and their spf 50+.
By the way, your comment about who tends to wear red nail polish or not made me smile. 😊 I am Norwegian. I do have rather short nails, and I love wearing red nail polish. 😊

Hi Heather, just a thought: if you are not looking for mascara to add any volume, length or curl to your lashes, have you thought about getting your lashes tinted and lifted instead of using mascara? This might give you the effect you’re looking for.
@heather: Maybelline's Great Lash mascara basically colors the lashes without adding volume or length. It may work for you.
I love La Roche-Posay and Nuxe! I'll be trying many of the others you mentioned. Merci, Frederique 💕!
Just got Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse yesterday for the first time & i’m loving it! I currently have Vichy , embryolisse lait-crème & La roche-postay products & i plan to add some more french brands as these have been doing great for my sensitive asian skin 💕

Always loved Vichy as a teenager, now I’m 65 and wouldn’t be without the decleor balms! Love them!
Love Avene!! Just ordered BB creme for the first time. Can't wait to try it!! Thanks once again for a lovely and informative video. XOXO

I love the Avene SPF 50 on my face-so light, not greasy & worth every cent.😊
A beauty fanatic's dream is visiting all of the marvelous French farmacies! It was a dream and the best way to describe Paris is mystical and magical!
Thank you for all those tips Frederique! I will use each and every one of them! I have been working from home during COVID and I will sometimes wear red lipstick for myself! It always picks me up and makes me feel great!

Sanctuary spa are one of my favourite brands for body oils cream lotions scrubs they smell amazing i love the original in peach package but the pink one and yellow and purple now the red are all beautiful scents they do amazing face masks too and skincare and they're reasonable prices
Discovered Nuxe a few years ago and the fragrance is devine. The oil is wonderful on my hair, only use a very small amount, rub it in my palms and just pat it over my hair, makes such a difference.
Love, love, love Caudalie😍
What a great video again, dear Frédérique!🥰 Merci beaucoup!😘😘
thank you lovely xxx
Thank you Frederique, loving your videos. I use Loccitane Divine range and it is the best for me.
I will look for Nuxe and Biafine now.
Wonderful!
This year I have treated myself to Vichy skincare. Foaming gel wash, facial scrub, mineral 89 boost, eye gel, moisturiser and more. Thank you for the tip about putting your perfume and Avene mist in the fridge.
Would love to know how your skin likes the Vichy products!
I dye jeans too. Using Dylon machine dye. They have a jeans dye but I like it darker so I use navy. I find clothes don't fade if you wash them inside out
Great video ❤. Thanks for sharing it to us, I just subscribed from Canada 🇨🇦. Merci 🥂.
Thanks for subbing!
Agreed - skincare is key I also adore the ritual it’s “me” time - can’t go past Chanel lipsticks and many of their other products - Clarins still provides fabulous products at a good price point - I’ll also enjoying quite a few Drunk Elephant products as well as Laura Mercier cosmetics, her translucent powder is the best. Always on the hunt for the perfect Mascara - really loving the Hourglass mascara atm - love ❤️ your channel Cherie’ - just spritzed myself with the Avene thermal water. Something I am never without is the Bioderma Micelleur water
Lovely products. I have Nuxe, Avene and Chanel products and they are amazing.
Love all of these products! I really want to try the Nuxe oil, it sounds fabulous. Thank you!!
thank you lovely xxx
More please! I agree regarding the smelly mascara. You look amazing by the way.
I had to pause your video to order Nuxe. Thanks for the info. ❤
That Avene spray is wonderful! I always take it to the Australian Open for when it’s blisteringly hot and I need to cool down. I love it!
Frederique, your choices are spot on! Biafine is magic! I also like LaRoche-Posay Cicaplast B5 Cream. Like Biafine you can use as a mask in winter. Re perfumes, I’m a fan of Chanel but lately I’ve switched to Aesop’s perfumes which have a more earthy, natural fragrance and I find more subtle & wearable. I love yr ‘less is more’ approach. Xxx
Dearest Frédérique this video is just perfect. I love Italian perfumes like Bottega Veneta or Armani however your Coco Noir is a must have. Thank you for your recommendations French Pharmacy is very popular in Italy 💓
Hello! I just found this beautiful channel- how divine! I was smiling so much, I must be French inside! I use SPF, biotherm, Avene, la Roche posay & parfum always! So comforting to know these products & brands are well regarded 💗
I just check what I have today in my bathroom: Sanoflo, A derma, Avène, Nuxe, Crèmes de la pharmacie des marronniers, la Sultane de Saba (who is France with moroccan touch).... and so much more :) Could you make a video about parfum especially for hot weather ? 😘💛

Frédérique ton maquillage est superbe, tu as l’air impeccable mais très naturelle, j’adore!
Dear Frederique, Love this top... you always look stunning in it! Also, Bravo! I have been waitng for you to stop doing fast fashion. I know it is a process. You have so much to give... you do not need something new every time at all. Thank you for being there for us. Your work is very meaningful to me... especially in these days of COVID.... I send you love and gratitude! Silvia
Great video! I want to try these products! Please make more like this!
thank you lovely xxx
What a classy lady! Love you Frédérique and your recommendations! The only lines I haven’t tried are Caudalie & the last one (not heard of). I adore Lancôme & L’Oréal - I always seem to go back to them. Thank you very much! 😘
Hi, I love Avène I use a lot of their skin care. I love their Tinted SPF50 its amazing either alone or under foundation. Brilliant video as always. xx
I love Nuxe
Definitely want more videos like this! Thank you for all the info,
I love Avene milk cleanser, and if that is out of stock I use La Roche-Posay Toleraine, but my favourite French product is Clarins Blue Orchid Treatment oil at night. It feeds my skin, it was a great help during the stressful Covid period for me.
Totally agree I have used it for years..One of the best products Clarins do.
I absolutely love Clarins product - it’s my favorite. Have been using it for 16 years and would never give it up for anything else.
An elderly lady who I know has amazing skin, totally beautiful and she has always used Lancome.
I make my own BB Cream. I combine face makeup with cream. My gynecologic doc used to make this for me. He called it CC Cream. He has since retired.
Thank you for sharing these french beauty products and tips!
Fantastique Frédérique! Merci d’un autre vidéo! J’adore Caudalie ❤️
Hello I use many products from these brands, thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm Portuguese and here in Portugal we also use Biafine a lot.
Biafine has saved me many times from burns in the kitchen, scratches, the redness that I have with age, ...
I always have my tube in the fridge, I always apply it fresh on the skin! The sensation is wonderful and incredible as my skin is so oily, it absorbs Biafine so well, without getting oily.
Biafine is always the emulsion I apply on my face and neck after a summer day spent at the beach or pool (or sun exposure)!
I do biafine night mask 1x/week all year round!
kisses
Maria
My favourite perfume is Caleche by Hermes but I also wear O by Lancome and, of course, Chanel No 5 and other Chanel perfumes!
This video really made me smile. I've lived in France for 25 years and I use nearly all of these products or brands - my cleanser is Avène XeraCalm oil, my mascara is La Roche Posay Toleriane or Avène Couvrance, I always have a tube of Biafine on hand (though I haven't tried it as a mask!), and the Nuxe oil. I use CeraVe Baume Hydratante as my moisturiser and night cream - it is wonderful, more like a thin wax than a cream, not greasy or oily at all. As my sunblock I use what my dermo ordered - Daylong Actinica, which is Swiss. My red lipstick is Chanel, my pink one is BoHo Green, my lip balm is Klorane, my foundation is Maybelline, my face powder is Caron. I also like Dr Pierre Ricaud products, and Decléor. When in doubt, I always head for the pharmacie. And for perfume - Serge Lutens is perhaps my favourite brand.
Thank you!! 😊
Hi Frederique. I use Avene body lotion and it is the body lotion for an older skin I have ever used. Well worth the money. I also use the thermal water. So refreshing. Cheers to you. Bev xx ♥️
Yet another fab video 🙌🏻 looking as beautiful as ever Frederique 🥰
I love B-Protect SPF 50+ when I dont want to ware any makeup because it protects and it has a very light coloured micro pigments that make my skin smooth
love how positive you are
I’m 24 and have been using Lancome skincare for years now. You can never go wrong!! I always get complimented on my skin. Highly recommend and SO worth the investment 🥰💓
Thanks for sharing!!
.... Runs to the bathroom to get the Biafine .... I didn't know that! I have this huge Biafine tube which I bought in a French pharmacy when indeed I had some sunburn, and this is what was advised. Merci Frédérique, I'll take a masque this weekend with Biafine ❤
I just came across your vlog, I must say, you are so bubbly and positive! love your energy!
Thanks for subbing!
~Merci~
I remember saving up my money as a teenager to purchase Evian water spray. I just knew it would make me gorgeous! 😃
I started taking good care of my skin at an early age. Never perfect, but always taking care with cleansing and moisturizing. I did however love my outdoors, and lots of sun exposure. (worked in the Caribbean) If I did not use sunscreen I would have burned to a crisp. I feel lucky my skin isn't worse than it is, even with the use of SPF.
I have yet to try anything by Avene but have only heard good things.
This is my first time here and I LOVE your very european esthetic. Very classic. Especially the black & white. 💖
Pharmacies abroad are so much fun to shop!
As a blonde with blue eyes, pale skin, I occasionally use red lipstick, but my preference is always pink.
(it's not as harsh looking)
Nuxe was also something I purchased years ago, but never repurchased.
PS) I thought for sure Decleor would be on your list. I loved their aromatic oil especially. Smelled so lovely. And the oil was beautiful on face and body. Wish they would bring it back.
See you again. Enjoy your day 🌿🕊️💕🌍
Hello Frédérique! I really love these videos! I love skincare! I am a fan of La Roche-Posay!!! Have a lovely week! Thank you!
Nuxe is the best! I use their eye cream, Nuxellence detox and the reve de miele lip balm. It’s been so hard to get their products here. But, finally online retailers have come through.
Oh yes Frederique, Nuxe oil is my most favourite treat to myself. I first found and tried it 7 years ago and I adore it. As you say, the scent is heavenly. It is something I want to spoil myself with forever. And I also love L'Oréal. Fantastic products and pricing. Thanks for sharing. 💐
I love the L'Oreal telescopic as well!!
Thank you Freddie for the recommendations. ❤️
Hope you can make a review on vichy night moisturizing cream 🥰
I gave Nuxe oil to a friend who mistook it for perfume and used it accordingly. That’s how great it smells.
I love all these brands as well. One more to add: Caudalie. (and Vichy !) hello from Haute Savoie 🇫🇷
I got that Lancôme mascara I don’t like the brush 🤔 mine I didn’t notice any smell actually. Thanks for the tips definitely going to check Avene BB cream
I, too am addicted to Nuxe oil. I also wear it to bed because it makes my skin soft and my sheets smell so yummy. I use the gold one on my legs and arms, especially in the summer. Recently, I found that they make a very reasonably priced cologne, so I use that, too. Love it! Next time I go to France my first stop (after the boulangerie) will be the pharmacy for all those wonderful products. For now, I get them from Amazon.
Thanks for sharing!!
