I'm a big fan of a many French beauty companies but their favourite products of mine were never that readily available in the UK. Some were becoming available in stores like Boots when I was leaving last year, but I still haven't seen much of the others.
So, I thought I'd give you a run down of my favourite finds since moving to Italy.
(Reviews below from L-R)
Vichy Idealia Life Serum
I first saw this advertised on TV here and the claim that it can totally change your skin in 8 days got me tempted...the first serum of its kind, it is targeted at normal, everday women, who's skin may be under the influence of daily excesses such as stress, late nights, pollution, UV exposure and an a poor diet. Unlike others I have tried, it has more of a light moisturiser feel to it, and gives the skin a wonder sheen without being shiny or glitterly. I took the 8 day challenge and was so impressed! Highly recommended!!!
Ponds Hydronourishing Cream
Ok, so not French or Italian, but an oldie but a goodie from the UK! I started using this before I moved to Italy and was really impressed with the effects. After I ran out in Rome and couldn't find it here so switched to an alternative. I noticed my skin wasn't looking great, so asked my Mum to send it out to me as part of a care package, and since using it again, my skin shows such a great improvement. I am currently using it under my Vichy Idealia Serum and my make up stays in place all day and my skin has a lovely velvety appearance.
La Roche Posay Physiological Foaming Water
I have used other cleansers in this range, but this one caught my eye when I was out in Rome one day. Soap and paraben free, it is great for sensitive skin but also has super make up removing power! I sometimes use this alongside my Sephora Exfoliating Disk for a real deep clean.
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
A super-cult product in the beauty world, I turn to this whenever I get a breakout (always stress or TOTM induced) and within a day or two this super-dooper product has wiped out all traces of nasty spotties! I always keep this on standby as I know it works every single time.
Bioderma Sensibio H20
A great, fragrance-free make up remover water, this product is by far the best for my skin as it never irritates my skin or eyes. Even after a heavy night out when I may have very dark eyemakeup and eyelash glue remnants to remove, this gets rid od every trace. I try and use it always before I wash my face, so that all make up is removed and my cleanser works on cleansing and not removing make up.
So, that's the low-down on the skincare products that I use every day here in Italy!
Ciao for now,
