Spring skincare routine
After residing in France for three months, I've immersed myself in the culture, including exploring the beauty and skincare offerings. It's been an exciting journey of discovery, and I've had the pleasure of experimenting with various products. To capture the essence of this experience, I've decided to curate a collection of my favorite finds each month. So, without further ado, here are my top picks from February, showcasing the gems that have truly impressed me during this period of exploration and indulgence. I provided links for products that are available in America!
Embracing Aluminum-Free Deodorants: My Journey with Caudalie
Fifteen years ago, I ditched aluminum-based deodorants, I recently found solace in Caudalie's aluminum-free formula. While effective, its mint and eucalyptus scent falls short of my preferences. Despite this, Caudalie's commitment to natural ingredients and skin health remains unmatched in my search for a reliable, aluminum-free option. Here's to hoping for more scent variety in the future, but for now, Caudalie stands as my trusted choice.

And let's not forget its irresistible scent, with delicate powdery and floral notes that linger long after the shower, adding a touch of Parisian elegance to every day

Thanks to its constant appearances on my TikTok feed, I couldn't resist trying out this Chanel hand cream, also known as LA CRÈME MAIN. Marketed as a complete care product for hands and nails, it not only moisturizes and smoothens but also brightens the skin. Beyond its beautifully chic egg-shaped packaging, it swiftly absorbs into the skin without any tacky residue. In my view, it's a luxurious treat!
