Did you ever feel frustrated when you think you have the perfect makeup, only to realize flaking skin and lips in the light?
Having dry skin is probably winter’s most dreaded and common skin problem. If you have experienced having your makeup not look right because of your flaking skin, don’t worry.
You might be wondering to yourself how you will fix it since no amount of good makeup can fix it. Or as a busy mom, you might just want to forget about your skin troubles because you’re overwhelmed by aisles of skincare and 10 step routines.
Not to fear, this week I’m going to solve all of your flaky skin troubles the French way. Not only will your makeup effortlessly glide on flake free, but you will also know why French women never worry about dry skin.
French Women Don’t Get Dry Skin
The reason why French women never worry about dry skin is because they don’t get dry skin. Before you think that the French just must be some super race who have no skin troubles, let me explain.
French women don’t struggle with dry skin because they treat their skin nice with luxurious cleansers and lotions every day. You will be amazed at how having a simple skincare routine each morning and night can do wonders for your face when it comes to dryness. You can greatly prevent the dreaded winter flakes by using the right products.
Simple Skincare the French Way
A French favorite for cleansing the face is Micellar water. It seriously will change your life, no tap water needed. You simply just squirt some of the magic French water on a cotton pad and swipe away any makeup or oil from your face.
Because there isn’t any water from the sink needed, your skin is protected from any unnecessary drying agents that could be in the water. Micellar Water is a non-drying and non-rinsing cleanser and is a French woman’s best kept secret to hydrated skin.
Follow this with a high quality eye cream to hydrate the under eye area. Lastly, use a high quality moisturizer and massage a dime size amount in an upward motion across the entire face. With this proper skincare routine morning and night, you can live like a French woman and kiss unsightly flaky skin goodbye.
How You Can Fake French Girl Skin Right Now
If you have been neglecting your skin and you’re looking for a solution that will give instant results, try this combination of products that I call the “Fake French Girl Skin” solution. It will jump start your skin journey by eliminating dry and dull skin quickly.
Follow the steps below for beautiful, glowing, smooth and non-flaky skin. If you have cracked skin or a skin condition such as rosacea, eczema, or cystic acne, consult a dermatologist before use
A. First, use a facial resurfacing treatment mask. Slather a semi thick layer across your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and remove what’s left with a damp warm facial towel.
B. Treat the lip area to an extra special lip peel made in France. Put a small amount on the lips with the applicator and do not rinse to reveal satiny smooth lips.
C. Focus again on the lip area and apply a small amount of lip mask to fully hydrate your lips.
D. Ah, your face should look so smooth and nourished by now. Take it to the next level by applying a few drops of exfoliating serum that includes Glycolic Acid, one of the most effective skin exfoliators.
E. Follow the serum with a Lavendar infused exfoliating night cream. Apply a dime size amount and massage in an upward motion across face.
The “Fake French Girl Skin” solution can be used 1 to 2x per week when your skin needs an extra drink.
Get ready to get rid of dry skin and put your best face forward this fall with your newfound knowledge of French beauty routines.
