French Pharmacyis where the very best in French beauty and skincare products culminate in one place for purchase.

I found the nearest pharmacy and walked into what I can only describe as a wonderland of French goodness.

It smelled faintly of fresh laundry as I wandered from aisle to aisle perusing the goods.

I stopped when I found my first skincare product.

Double points for the fact that it’s both a faceandbody cleanserbecause I brought neither.

The cult status of BiodermaSensibio H2O Micellar Waterexplains a lot.

I quietly slid my palm against my dehydrated cheek and scooped it up.

Byrdie Tip

Micellar water is super gentle, so it won’t strip or irritate your skin.

It’s especially helpful for those with dry or sensitive skin.

“It moisturizes the face while emphasizing a beautiful glow, but it never looks greasy.”

Lo and behold, my skin looked incredible when I woke up.

Maybe there really was something to this French girl beauty regimen.

Still, there were more items on my list, this time for haircare.

It’s formulated with oat milk meant to soothe and protect.

I ran a dime-sized amount through my hair and rubbed the rest on my skin for a subtle sheen.

It deeply nourishes and improves skin elasticity.

I couldn’t believe it.

French beauty is real, lovely readers.
