🍡 Tasty, sweet and fluffy — marshmallow note is so popular in perfumes now!

Here are some of my favourite scents that carry that sweet sugary vibe:

▫️ Maison Alhambra Reyna — a beautiful and affordable marshmallow / orange blossom scent. I’ve included it into this list instead of PDM Oriana since they are really similar.

▫️ Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy — she’s the queen of marshmallow perfumes, and this composition smells exactly how it’s called. If you like mashmallows, it can be even a safe bling buy.

▫️ Ariana Grande Thank U, Next 2.0 — this is probably my favourite perfume from her, a sweet marshmallow and whipped cream with lots of strawberries.

▫️ Kayali Vanilla Candy Rock Sugar | 42 — a candy shop in a bottle. Sweet and rich, has prominent pear and bubble gum notes too.

▫️ Dolce&Gabbana Pour Femme — a super feminine marshmallow-dominant perfume with raspberry and vanilla, plus some powdery vibe that comes from sandalwood and heliotrope.

▫️ Paris Corner Khair Pistachio — pistachio ice-cream and marshmallows, top quality for the price.

▫️ Memo Paris Sintra — a sophisticated orange blossom perfume with a fluffiness of marshmallow.

▫️ Bath & Body Works Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte — my favourite body mist ever, smells like that famous drink from Starbucks and great for layering.

Moreover, I noticed that there are no perfumes with a prominent marshmallow note that I don’t like at all. It adds magic to every composition and makes it smell so modern and youthful!

Water-resistant sunscreens ✔️ Save the list for your next vacation 💦☀️

I double checked every single item in this list is marked as water-resistant (80 minutes in most cases). You have to reapply these at least every 1,5 hours, and they are suitable not only for water activities, but also humid climates.

▫️ Labello 24h Moisture Lip Balm Sun Protect — don’t forget the lips! This lip balm is very affordable and easy to find in Europe. I also use La Roche Posay. In US check Banana Boat.

▫️ Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen — a famous Japanese water-resistant sunscreen. Has absolutely beautiful finish, feels lightweight but has some alcohol scent.

▫️ CNP Laboratory Outdoor Fluid Sun — an amazing Korean option, hybrid filters, suitable even for oily skin. In general I really love this brand. Also, in Korea water-resistant sunscreens are often called “outdoor”.

▫️ La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF60 Melt-In Milk Sunscreen for Body & Face — LRP has so many sunscreen options too, in different forms; this one is definitely a safe option for an active holiday.

▫️ Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion — I have used the products of this brand so many times during vacation, and my skin was always safe even after jet skiing, active swimming etc. If you don’t live in US, it’s available on iHerb.

▫️ Atopalm Tok Tok Sun Pact — the only physical sunscreen in this list (as most of the times they are less waterproof). No-irritating, suitable for little kids, plus they have more products in the line.

▫️ Abib Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar — one of my favourite chemical sun sticks, totally invisible and water resistant for 80 min.

▫️ SVR Sun Secure Fizzy Milk — a reef safe formula, super comfortable format and easy to find in Europe.

🛍️ Find these on Amazon US, Notino Europe, Lookfantastic, iHerb (worldwide) — my соde YAT7512 gives 5% off; Stylevana (ships from Korea) — INF105TANYATS for 10-15% off; Yesstyle (ships from Korea but has Japanese brands too) — TANYATS1 (reward соde, works on top of a couроn, extra 2-5% off).

Body sprays or body mists is something that I use every day — layer it with the other perfumes, or simply after shower.

Here are 8 of them that I’ll always have in my collection:

▫️ Rituals Amsterdam Collection Tulip & Japanese Yuzu — their body mists feel more like an EDT, and smell really complex. This one if citrusy floral, feels very unique and expensive. My second favourite from the brand is The Ritual of Sakura (rice milk and cherry blossom).

▫️ Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa 71 — their body mists have excellent quality too, and most of them are gourmand. This one to me smells like toasted caramelised nuts, a favourite from the brand!

▫️ Victoria’s Secret Pure Seduction — the most recognisable mist of the brand, it’s sweet, girly and easily likeable. Smells like a VS store ;)

▫️ Yves Rocher Monoi — an affordable body spray with an intense tropical vibe (coconut, gardenia etc; same family as Tom Ford Soleil Blanc).

▫️ Reb’l Fleur by Rihanna — I like the body mist better than the perfume! I used it a lot during student’s internship and was always getting compliments and questions. It’s a complex plum scent with some coconut/tropical vibe, easily likeable.

▫️ Bath & Body Works Marshmallow Pumpkin Latte — my favourite one from the brand, it smells exactly as it’s called, so tasty! Plus, it’s perfect for layering with so many other perfumes where you want to add some sweetness.

▫️ Bath & Body Works In The Stars — a Baccarat-like scent. My boyfriend loves this one on me the most.

▫️ Ariana Grande Sweet Like Candy — another perfect body mist for those who love sweet, fluffy, candy-like body mists. I personally love all AG perfumes and mists.

Easy steps to achieve “glass skin” ✨

What is “glass skin”?

First of all, this is something that… doesn’t exist. But we can try to achieve a similar look — flawless texture and tone, plump and hydrated skin.

How does this skincare routine look like?

It’s a basic skincare routine with an addition of actives and focus on hydration.

“Cleanse – Treat - Hydrate - Protect”

What is the correct order to apply skincare?

The easiest way is to go by textures — from lightest to thickest. But, cleansing or any wash-off step always goes first, and an oil (not a cleansing oil but a nourishing oil) and sunscreen (for morning routine) go last. At the same time, you can even apply a lightweight serum before a thick milky toner.

In my post, I didn’t picture all the products from the routine — only the essential ones:

▫️ EXFOLIATE

Try By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash for a “polished” look or The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner — best for uneven skin texture or aging skin (might not work for sensitive).

▫️ HYDRATE

Torriden DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Toner is super hydrating and lightweight.
Mixsoon Bean Essence can be used as a gentle exfoliant, but I personally like using it as a super hydrating serum and adds radiance to the skin.
Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream is super hydrating and gives that “glass skin” effect.

▫️ TREAT

Just to keep it simple, I’ll add just 2 actives — Vitamin C for AM routine, and Retinol for PM routine. Don’t use it right after exfoliation.

Numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum is very comfortable for everyday.
Anua Nano Retinol 0.3% + Niacin Renewing Serum is affordable but effective without irritation.

▫️ PROTECT

Just use a sunscreen every morning. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum is comfortable and affordable.

Perfumes with a prominent lavender note 💜

Most of the time, lavender gives a cooler and more aromatic vibe to perfumes. It is commonly used in men’s fragrances, but recently, it has become a trendy note in women’s perfumes, especially when combined with vanilla.

Here are 8 perfumes that, in my opinion, feature a prominent lavender note. By the way, two of my favorite lavender scents are celebrity perfumes, and I’ll start with them:

▫️ Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely: Imagine Narciso Rodriguez’s musk note combined with fresh lavender and some daffodils. It’s very affordable, but the quality is great. Perfect for summer!

▫️ Ariana Grande R.E.M.: This is a unique and beautiful combination of prominent lavender and gourmand vanilla. It almost feels like a marshmallow dessert with a hint of lavender topping. It’s more beautiful than I can describe.

▫️ Guerlain Mon Guerlain Intense: The intense version is my favorite in the range. The lavender is very prominent at the beginning, but later it blends into an extremely beautiful vanilla with something sweet and tasty. It’s super long-lasting too.

▫️ Yves Saint Laurent Libre: Personally, I sense more lavender in this version. It’s a classy lavender-vanilla scent, less “womanly” than the previous one. Feels very modern, with a hint of orange blossom too. As an alternatіve, you can check out Zara Golden Decade.

▫️ Maison Martin Margiela Coffee Break: I love almost all the perfumes from this range. To me, it smells like black coffee with vanilla cake and a bouquet of lavender on the side.

▫️ Molinard Lavande: If you’re looking for a naturalistic lavender on top of a warm base, this might be a great option. Similar to Tom Ford Lavender Extreme but more affordable, it’s a pure unisex fragrance.

▫️ Burberry Goddess: With lots of vanilla and lavender, this scent feels classy and adds depth with a hint of sourness. I really love this scent for fall and winter.

▫️ Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender: A super affordable and fresh citrusy scent with some green lavender, perfect for summer.

Part 2 ⬇️ Read the details:

This is the second “episode” of my series where I compare similar products — some of them are equally great, some pairs have different price points, and some simply work the same. This isn’t a post about “d*pes” as it is.

✔️ Caudalie Vinergetic C+ Instant Detox Mask VS Mary&May Blackberry Complex Glow Wash Off Mask

Both are detoxifying clay-based mask with antioxidants. Not super drying - in fact, the one from Mary&May is better in this case, and you get more product that is cheaper.

✔️ Thayers Original Witch Hazel Facial Toner VS Missha Artemisia Calming Essence

At first, it looks like I compared totally irrelevant things. But, this Thayers toner is often used as a POST-SHAVING product — it’s very soothing and calming. However, this Missha Essence is my personal hero-product which I’ll always repurchase. I use it not only to soothe my irritated face, but also apply on areas like armpits after shaving — it helped me get rid of irritation forever.

✔️ SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic VS Jumiso All Day Vitamin Pure C 5.5 Glow Serum

Many will say that this SkinCeuticals serum is superb and doesn’t have any alternatives that work exactly the same. But I personally don’t like paying almost €150 for a serum that will anyway get spoilt in 3 months maximum. This Jumiso option has very similar ingredients, texture and costs 10 times less.

✔️ Kérastase Elixir Ultime L’Huile Original Hair VS &Honey Deep Moist 3.0 Hair Oil

I love Kerastase hair oils, and they work well for my long, thin and damaged hair. But, if you like it too, you should try &Honey (a Japanese brand pronounced like “and-honey”). They have many versions in different scents, thinner or thicker. Highly recommend!

Juicy peaches for all seasons 🍑

Peach or nectarine is one of my favourite notes in perfumes, I can’t even count how many of this kind of scents I’ve had in my collection as full bottles or samples.

So, here are some short reviews:

▫️ Jimmy Choo I Want Choo - this is your typical designer nighttime go-out scent. Vanilla, sparkly peach and some white florals. Seductive and rich. I think you will love it if you like scents similar to CH Good Girl or YSL Black O***m.

▫️ Burberry Women - this smells like sweet peaches and autumn leaves under rain. I don’t know why, but it definitely gives that autumn vibe.

▫️ Chopard Casmir - many say it’s a vintage scent, but to me it’s a beautiful combination of sweet peaches, mango and warm vanilla with amber.

▫️ Rihanna Rogue Love - one of my favourite celebrity scents, and no one talks about it! It’s a beautiful mix of fresh peach, caramel, vanilla and some florals. Not very long lasting, but affordable and the actual scent gets compliments. To me it’s very similar to Boss The Scent For Her!

▫️ Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Nectarine Blossom - the freshest out of these, but so beautiful! It’s my favourite scent from this brand, and it costs like under €15.

▫️ Fragrance World Intense Peach - you know what it reminds you of visually. I don’t love the OG, but this one was so affordable! Smells exactly how it’s called - intense peach, very juicy and sweet. At dry down I can smell that typical oriental base with vanilla, wood etc.

▫️ Lo**ta Lempicka Lo**taLand - if you like gourmand perfumes, you’ll love this one. To me it’s not just sweet peaches, but even some caramel and chocolate vibe.

▫️ Attar Collection The Queen of Sheba - my favourite, and I can’t wait to get a full bottle. It’s very similar to Kilian Good Girl Gone Bad but fruitier. Peaches, osmanthus, to***co leaves.

Best Toner Pads for each skin type & concern — based on my collection of over 20 packs plus lots of samples ⬇️

▫️ Dry skin
Medi-Peel Red Lacto Collagen Double-Tight Pad are absolutely fantastic softening pads which are perfect is you want to improve elasticity. I have combo skin and these are my favourite for cheeks.

▫️ Acne-prone skin
Abib Heartleaf Spot Pad Calming Touch work so good when used as a spot mask since they are very tight. They always help me with active inflammation.

▫️ Sensitive skin
SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad can be recommended to anyone since they are so hydrating, calming and you get the most use out of this pack.

▫️ Dull skin
Medicube Deep Vita C Pad are rich in sea buckthorn extract; antioxidant-rich, brightening and vitalising. Didn’t irritate my skin either.

▫️ Irritated skin
It’s Skin Power 10 Formula Li Jelly Pad Firefighter are the softest toner pads ever! Use them as a mask to quickly reduce redness. They also have normal toner pad (not jelly), but this one is more unique.

▫️ Mature skin
Dermatory Retinal Lifting Pad are quite big and gentle toner pads enriched with retinal. Can be used as a mask, and they are especially good for neck.

▫️ Oily skin
Sungboon Editor Green Tomato Pore Peeling Jumbo Pad are great for regulating sebum production and even help to visibly improve pores. They are scented so might not work for very sensitive skin.

▫️ Dehydrated skin
Torriden DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Multi Pad provide deep hydrating and are very soft too.

At the beginning I thought that toner pads create too much waste, take too much space and overall turn out to be expensive in comparison to usual toners.

However, now I’m obsessed with them since they are more like a hybrid between a toner, a mask, and an essence. Try at least 1 which is best for your skin type, and you’ll love them!

Use my Yesstyle rewаrd соde TANYATS1 for 2-5% off any оrder; INF105TANYATS for 10-15% off at Stylevana! Both have international shipping.

Tart, juicy raspberries — summer in a bottle! 💓

I’m obsessed with berry notes in perfumes, and here are some recommendations for those who love raspberries:

▫️ Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose — one of my favourite designer perfumes ever. A beautiful jammy rose and raspberry. So feminine!

▫️ Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever — my favourite perfume from this brand. Unlike the original perfume with a sweet pistachio note, this flanker has lots of sugared almonds, tart and sweet raspberry, plus some lemon. Tastes, I mean smells like a delicious cupcake.

▫️ Kate Spade Cherie — an affordable and quite a unique fragrance with a prominent raspberry and sweet pea note. Think of sweet florals and some freshly picked raspberries.

▫️ Issey Miyake L’Eau d’Issey Pivoine — if you like fresh, almost watery perfumes which last well, you should pay attention to this brand. This scent features fresh peony and raspberry on a sandalwood base.

▫️ Maison Alhambra Reyna — I am obseeessed with this perfume! It is really similar to what they obviously got inspiration from, and doesn’t smell cheap! Fluffy marshmallows, orange blossom and some tart raspberry.

▫️ Attar Collection Hayati — a super sweet scent. Think of a sweet vanilla ice-cream with fresh raspberry jam on top.

▫️ Lattafa Mayar — a tart litchi and raspberry perfume, easily likeable and very affordable.

▫️ Versace Woman — a raspberry dominant perfume with some plum and lotus. It’s quite unique, not to sweet and not too light. Hard to describe it, but it’s available in every duty free on sale)

If you like this, you will love that Part 1:

I decided to start a new series on products that can be replaced with each other, have quite similar characteristics, or are simply cheaper.

▫️ Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence vs Jumiso Snail Mucin 95 + Peptide Essence

The Cosrx one has been on the market for years, and I feel like the new options work like upgraded versions of it. I never had miraculous results from it, but always liked it.

However, the Jumiso essence brings me so much joy whenever I use it — more hydration, better texture, and the peptides on top. Also, for nearly the same price, you get more product.

▫️ Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner vs Abib Heartleaf calming toner Skin booster

I love both of these toners and use them with pleasure. While Anua offers more hydration alongside soothing, the Abib toner is super calming and more lightweight.

I’d recommend the Anua one for those with sensitive, combo to dry skin. In my opinion, Abib is better for those with acne-prone and oily skin.

▫️ Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum vs Manyo Bifida Biome Complex Ampoule

Here we are talking about a chance to save your money. The Estée Lauder serum is exquisite; it provides fast and impressive results.

The Manyo serum has similar ingredients, same texture, same color — even the result is nearly the same! I’d only say that the expensive option is more likely to give faster results. But the price difference is quite huge.

▫️ Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotic vs Scinic Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence

Both are really similar — lightweight, hydrating, with a dewy finish. This Scinic sunscreen is so underrated, and it’s really cheap (7€ at Stylevana)!

🛍️ I order my Korean skincare mostly at Yesstyle, Stylevana and Stylekorean. Here are some discounts for you:

My favourite perfume note 🌹 Here are some amazing rose perfumes, from niche to affordable options:

🌹 Parfums de Marly Delina La Rosée — this perfume doesn’t need any presentation. If you like fresh and feminine rose perfumes - try it.

🌹 Byredo Rose Of No Man’s Land — another truly gorgeous rose perfume, with natural rose, raspberry and pink pepper. So captivating!

🌹 Dior Miss Dior Rose N’Roses — feminine, fresh and to me it’s even slightly cold. Try this if you don’t want your rose perfume to be sweet or heavy.

🌹 Chopard Love — this perfume is affordable but so potent! Tonnes of red roses and spices. Feels quite mature, great for evenings.

🌹 Attar Collection Rosa Galore — my huge obsession! It’s hard to describe it, but somehow it feels like delicate pink roses, tiny bit of sweetness and cozy cashmere notes.

🌹 Kayali Sweet Diamond Pink Pepper 25 — I didn’t mention hyper popular Roses Vanille perfume here, but if you like that one, you should try this option from Kayali. It combines sweet rose And pink pepper, with more spices on top. It’s truly gorgeous!

🌹 Afnan Souvenir Floral Bouquet — it’s not just about the stunning bottle. It’s a great perfume with rose and litchi, has a very similar vibe to Delina, but way cheaper.

🌹 Alexandre J Black Muscs — this is one of my favourite perfumes, and it’s sooo seductive. Extremely natural red rose, a bit of lemon and a very intense musk note. I always get compliments when wearing it.

There are more rose perfumes which I like, so stay tuned for more posts, including oriental and affordable options only.

Best affordable skincare finds for well-aging ✨

These are the products with excellent anti-aging properties which I really love and can definitely recommend, whether you want to prevent first signs of aging, or improve your skin.

▫️ The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution — exfoliation is essential for healthy, smooth skin. Particularly for mature skin glycolic acid is the best (unless it’s super sensitive). Use few times a week, pm, not with actives like retinol.

▫️ Benton Vitamin C Serum — there are so many great vitamin C serums, but this one has shown the best results on my skin. It’s an excellent antioxidant serum, which protects your skin, brightens and boosts collagen production. Use in the morning after toner and before sunscreen.

▫️ Dermatory Retinal Essence Toner — no one talks about it, but it’s SO GOOD! It’s a toner with the power of an essence by the sister-brand of Goodal and Clio. For its price it’s a gem!

▫️ KSECRET SEOUL 1988 Serum: Retinal Liposome 2%+ Black Ginseng — my favourite anti-aging serum, its ingredient list is impressive, and I love the texture.

▫️ Jumiso Snail Mucin 95% + Peptide Essence — a huge bottle of super hydrating snail mucin essence with anti-aging peptides. Can be combined with so many other products!

▫️ Thank You Farmer BakuVita Barrier Cream — absolutely fantastic cream with vegan alternative to retinol, different vitamins and barrier support complex. The texture is amazing too — moisturising but lightweight.

▫️ Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum — can be used as an eye cream, or as a retinal and ginseng serum. So good!

▫️ Mary&May Vegan Peptide Bakuchiol Sun Stick — it’s so important to use any sunscreen in the morning and during the day. This formula is specially created for aging skin.

What’s your favourite anti-aging product?

Juicy berry perfumes 🫐🍓

Whenever I fall in love with a fruity scent, it always has berries in the notes list.

Here are some of my favourite picks, from affordable to designer options.

▫️ Lalique Amethyst is all about black berries, black currant and blue berries. It might be my number one in this category, I love it for summer!

▫️ Kate Spade Sparkle to me smells like a delicious creme brûlée dessert with some black currant and blueberry on top.

▫️ Lanvin Modern Princess is all about red currant, red apple and some white flowers. I don’t hear about it often, but it’s such a pretty scent!

▫️ Aquolina Pink Sugar Berry Blast is a super sweet cotton candy perfume with lots of berries, mostly blackberry.

▫️ Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose is a gorgeous raspberry and rose scent, my favourite from the brand!

▫️ Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris is a beautiful strawberry perfume with a sophisticated floral touch.

▫️ Salvatore Ferragamo Signorina Misteriosa is a sweet, even creamy perfume with blackberry.

▫️ Lattafa Mayar is a juicy mix of raspberry and litchi, so trendy and affordable.

Typically, the main concerns of combination skin are dryness in some areas, along with excessive sebum production, large pores, and occasional inflammation.

I am a lucky owner of combination skin myself, and here are some products which I can definitely recommend:

▫️ The cleansers should be gentle yet effective, non-irritating. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil and Heimish All Clean Gentle Exfoliating Gel Cleanser are perfect examples.

▫️ Including probiotics and fermented ingredients into your skincare routine will be so helpful! Try Mixsoon Galactomyces Ferment Essence or alternatives; products with Bifida also work great.

▫️ APRILSKIN Artemisia Rice Toner is soothing and hydrating. Also, you can check some green tea or rice toners as well.

▫️ Niacinamide is your best friend since it helps regulate sebum production and fights inflammation. SKIN&LAB Niacinamide Recovery Serum is non-drying and effective.

▫️ Propolis is another great ingredient for combination skin which targets multiple concerns (from dullness to inflammation). Check out the Skinfood Royal Honey Propolis Enrich Essence.

▫️ Here are two of my favorite moisturizers which are hydrating, thick, but not greasy at all: Anua Heartleaf 70% Intense Calming Cream and It’s Skin LI Soothing Cream with Licorice Extract & Guaiazulene. Highly recommend!

▫️ A.H.C Ten Revolution Real Eye Cream For Face targets pretty much all concerns, and it’s very cheap on Stylevana.

▫️ Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Sun Cream is lightweight, hydrating, non-sticky, and has no white cast.

🛍️ All these are available at Yesstyle, Stylevana, and Stylekorean (all ship globally). Check my link in bio for discount codes.

There are so many other great products for combination skin. I’ll be posting more, so stay tuned!

Freshies that won’t break your budget 💙

As the days become longer and the air gets warmer, I prefer putting my sweet gourmands on the side and enjoy fresh perfumes.

Here are 8 options which can be found for under 30 euros (and some of them are around 10 euros only).

▫️ Rocher Comme Une Evidence L’Eau — this was my favorite perfume last summer! So fresh, cooling, and zesty. Note that I recommend the L’Eau version. Also, it lasts and projects!

▫️ Lanvin Water Lily — a delicate, fresh aquatic scent. It’s an EDT, but super affordable.

▫️ Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Mimosa — there are lots of different scents in this line; I prefer the Mimosa one, as well as the original Green Tea and Nectarine. Very fresh and easily likable.

▫️ Avon Perceive Dew — fresh and aquatic, likable, inoffensive and so affordable.

▫️ Armaf Tag-Her — a very affordable Arabian perfume which is reminiscent of D&G Light Blue.
Also, check Tres Jour from this brand — a beautiful green tea / tuberose perfume.

▫️ Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely — one of my favorite celebrity scents! Fresh lavender and musk, has lots in common with Narciso Rodriguez perfumes.

▫️ Zara Applejuice — one of the most popular Zara fragrances, fresh and pleasant. Smells like white flowers and green apples.

▫️ Rituals Amsterdam Collection Tulip & Japanese Yuzu — one of the most beautiful fresh perfumes I’ve ever smelled. It actually smells like spring in Amsterdam. This one of the priciest out of them (50ml, not 100ml, of this body mist is around 18€; lasts like an EDT).

🇫🇷 Every time I go to France, I can’t resist bringing some new skincare.

Before my Korean beauty craze started, I was mostly using French products, and some of them are still permanent residents of my collection.

✨ I’ve never tried anything as good as Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water — it easily removes makeup and doesn’t irritate the skin or eyes.

🌊 Next, cleansers from a French pharmacy are my favourites. They have options for all skin types, most of them are gentle but so effective.

For example, if you have oily skin, the Avene Cleanance Cleansing Gel is a great option. Also, I love Bioderma Sensibio cl.gel, and cleansing foams from Vichy, Caudalie, Nuxe etc.

✨ There are lots of great serums from the French brands, but these 2 truly impressed me: Caudalie Vinopure Blemish Control Salicyl Serum (mattifies, dries out the pimples, apply a thin layer) and Vichy Minéral 89 Fortifying and Plumping Daily Booster (super hydrating).

There’s one product which will ALWAYS be in my collection since nothing works as good as it — La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+. It’s perfect for healing (e.g, when your skin is irritated, has acne scars, or after sunburns). I use it after peelings or retinol, it keeps my skin barrier healthy.

👄 Another thing I love is the lip treatments. Nuxe’s lip balms are so nourishing. Also, Homeoplasmine is impressively good - it’s like vaseline + some healing herbal extract.

If you go to France, get the A313 Vitamin A Retinol Cream from a pharmacy. It’s a powerful anti-aging treatment, for me it gives overnight results. However, it’s not that gentle and comfortable, I just cope with it because of the impressive results. Use a pea-sized amount on dry face, follow up with a cream 30-60 min later, pm; next day - spf.

💦 There are lots of amazing thermal waters, the most concentrated one is Uriage Thermal Water. I use it under my toners or essences for extra hydration. The Uriage one is perfect for oily skin, choose Avene for sensitive skin, LRP or Vichy for dry skin.

There are tonnes of great moisturisers for all skin types and concerns. Pay attention to La Roche Posay, Caudalie Vichy, SVR, ACM etc.
