Here are our favorite beauty brands that come from France.

Officine Universelle Buly

Buly 1803 is one of the oldest and most famous French beauty brands. You may have recently heard about it because of the line of perfumes they made for the Louvre inspired by famous artworks.

Typology

Typology is a vegan company focused on using the best ingredients they can find that are so natural you can eat them. Its prices are pretty low compared to the quality it offers, which makes it one of the most popular brands in France and beyond.

Bastide

Bastide is an amazing brand that uses traditional recipes and modern design to create products for every woman who wants to take care of herself. Everything they offer is based on plant-based ingredients, essential oils, spring water and honey that originate from Provence.

Here’s what’s in and what’s out when it comes to beauty products right now.

In – Skin Microbiome

This medical trend represents keeping the microbes that fight bacteria on the surface of the skin. This is done with products that contain probiotics.

In – Clean Beauty

Natural and organic products do not come from certain companies only anymore. They are everywhere and they are becoming more and more common.

In – Retinol

Retinol is still the most popular skincare product ingredient and there’s a good reason for that. It’s responsible for solving so many different problems, from acne to consequences of aging.

Out – Harsh Exfoliators

Exfoliation was very popular for a while, but people are letting go of this skincare habit now that it’s become clear that harsh exfoliators can do us more harm than good.

Out – DIY

Nobody’s interested in homemade “natural” cosmetics of suspicious quality anymore. There are plenty of choices in the regular stores anyway.

You may be surprised to hear that your skin and hair don’t actually get used to certain products unless we’re talking about some super strong formulas that you can’t get in a regular store. But talking about the usual skincare and haircare stuff, there’s something else that’s going on. You just need to figure out what of the several possibilities is the case.

Some products simply require taking breaks. For example, you use them for a few months, then take a break for a few weeks. Other products need to be used continuously for months or even years in order to give you the effect you expect.

If you think that the same face cream you’ve been swearing by isn’t working on you anymore, consider if other factors have changed. Perhaps it’s a different season now or your skin has changed. There’s always a possibility that you’ve just stopped noticing the effect a certain product has because you’ve been seeing it every day for a long time. Perhaps it’s achieved its purpose and just can’t make your skin more hydrated/clear/firm, etc.

“Sunscreen absolutely expires and should never be used past its expiration date,” says Shari Marchbein, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. “Like food, sunscreen can go bad and the ingredients can spoil, leading to a watery consistency. They also become less effective, which means a significant increase in the potential for sunburns, sun damage, brown spots, and the risk for skin cancer development.”

This means that an expired product might not provide you the protection you expect from them. Additionally, they can do other damage to your skin, depending on the changes in consistency and texture.

Always make sure that cosmetic products you use, including sunscreen, haven’t gone bad before a use.

Below are five reasons why aloe vera is great for your skin.

Rich with Vitamins

Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties thanks to plenty of vitamins in it. It’s great for healing the skin.

Heals Burns

Aloe vera will cool your skin, calm it, and help heal the burns. Apply it after you spend too much time in the sun or if you accidentally burned your forehead with a curling iron.

DIY Cosmetics

If you have an aloe plant at home, you can use its juice instead of store-bought products. For example, you can make a face mask using aloe juice, olive oil, and brown sugar.

Heals Rashes

Use fresh aloe vera to get rid of annoying rashes. It will make all the skin imperfections less visible.

Anti-Age

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, aloe vera will help your skin look younger for a longer time. Use that to your advantage.

Cosmetics and makeup products are especially easy to impulse buy and hoard because you always think you’ll use them up eventually. However, they don’t last forever and before you know it, you’ll have to throw them out because they expired.

Of course, when you buy all those products, you have to store them somewhere. Mess and clutter in your bathroom can be stressful, leading you to skip your skincare routine which totally defeats the purpose of buying the products in the first place.

What can you do? If you can relate to this story and have too many products clogging your bathroom, the first step is to start a “no shopping” week, month, or however long you can take. Instead of piling up more and more products, use up what you have. And when the time comes to go shopping again, go with a plan. Whenever you see something you want to have, ask yourself the following questions:

• Will I really use this or do I just want it?
• Do I already have something similar at home?
• Do I really need to buy a backup now?
• Do I treat myself by shopping too often? Can I do something else to show self-care instead?

A clean shelf with nothing but the products you love and use will bring you joy every time you look at it.

You can finally say ’goodbye’ to bottles and tubes because the clever crayons and pens are coming to save the day.

Perfume pens

This will definitely make your life easier. These products come with some really cool features which emphasize simplicity..

Perfume pens are one of the most functional things we’ve seen, you just have to press the powder puff to release the perfumed jelly and then just sweep over your pulse points.

This new approach can be considered as the beginning of a new chapter in beauty.

Makeup Crayons

With this product, your makeup bag can start looking more like a pencil case. All the biggest beauty companies are conjuring up crayons for lips, eyes etc.

The brilliant simplicity and functionality of the makeup crayons will certainly make your life much easier.

AubreyEApothecary

Aubrey hand makes lip butters in seven scents. My personal favorite is Unicorn, which smells like maple syrup and always gets me lots of compliments. It makes my lips super shiny without being sticky, so it doubles as a hydrating gloss. Other scents include Monkey Farts (banana, bubblegum, mango, kiwi blend), Coconut Cold Brew, and Mermaid (champagne and vanilla). Check out her homemade lip scrubs as well.

Bodystuff

Ilaria creates lip balm from locally sourced products in a sustainable way. Bodystuff’s “No B.S.” philosophy is just that: nothing goes into the product that doesn’t need to be in there, and it’s all good for you. “Lip Stuff” has one scent that reminds me of white chocolate gaenache. It’s almost good enough to eat.

Suzy Scent Shop

Suzy’s vegan, gluten free lip balms smell like your favorite desserts. Your lips will feel soft and hydrated when you apply the Cake Batter, Cherry Almond, Iced Cinnamon Roll, or Iced Caramel Latte balms, and her shop has stellar reviews.

Southern Scent Shop

Take a ride on the wild side with Southern Scent Shop’s creative scents. If you want to pregame your lips, roll on some Beer or Frozen Margarita balm! My other favorites include Chocolate Cheesecake and Waffle Cone.
