Bonjour, lovers of French beauty, whether it’s skincare or makeup! Hydration isn't just a step; it's an art form. French skincare has long been celebrated for its effective formulations and dedication to research and development, capturing worldwide attention for these very qualities. Let’s delve into the science behind French skincare today!
The Science Behind French Hydration Heroes
Thermal Spring Waters
These elixirs are rich in minerals sourced from natural springs across France. The dermatological benefits of these spring waters were first recognised after the horse of the Marquis of Rocozels swam in Avène Thermal Spring. Their soothing and hydrating properties are renowned and enriched with calcium and magnesium to refresh the skin and maintain its natural balance.
- Mineral Content: Thermal waters are abundant in essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium, crucial for maintaining skin health. These minerals deeply nourish and hydrate the skin, significantly contributing to its well-being.
- Soothing and Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Thermal waters contain Aquaphilus dolomiae, providing anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe sensitive or irritated skin. They effectively reduce redness and enhance the skin's resilience.
- Hydration and Moisture Retention: Thermal waters are swiftly absorbed into the skin, delivering immediate hydration.
Hydrating Ingredients
French skincare, especially moisturisers, incorporates nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerin, and botanical extracts. Together, these ingredients synergise to hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling supple and radiant.
Research and Clinical Testing
Extensive research and rigorous clinical testing underpin the production of French skincare products. Many formulations undergo dermatological testing to meet rigorous safety standards and cater to specific skin types.
How To Achieve a Dewy and Hydrated Complexion
Cleansing
Start by cleansing your skin with a hydrating cleanser to prepare your canvas, removing impurities without stripping essential moisture. Follow with a toning mist like Avene Thermal Spring Water to prime your skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products.
Moisturising
Apply a generous layer of your favourite moisturiser to maintain hydration and leave your skin plump and healthy. We recommend gentle formulas such as Embryolisse Cicalisse Restorative Skin Cream, which addresses skin concerns while keeping the skin hydrated.
A French Tip: Integrate targeted treatments such as hydrating serums like the Avene Hydrance Boost Serum before moisturising. These concentrated formulations penetrate deeply into the skin, delivering a potent surge of hydration precisely where it’s needed most.
SPF Protection
The final and indispensable step in any skincare routine is SPF protection. It shields the skin from dullness and damage, preserving collagen levels and moisture for a youthful and luminous complexion.
French 101: Consistency is vital to achieving a dewy and hydrated complexion. Make your routine a daily practice, and watch your skin transform into a resilient, radiant canvas that effortlessly exudes hydration and vitality over time.
In the beauty world, French skincare epitomises timeless elegance and unparalleled formulations. Harness the rejuvenating properties of thermal spring waters and sumptuous skincare products to unlock the secrets of dewy, hydrated skin that radiates health and vitality.
