Beauty Advices

Lately, I've been testing out new beauty products to find what works best for my skin and hair. It's been a lifelong struggle, I feel, but I think I've finally found a routine that works well for me. And I've decided to share it with you!

Morning routine:

First of all, the first thing I wanted to try out was the Respire brand for their deodorants, which are reputed to smell good and, above all, last a long time. At first, I didn't want to buy a stick deodorant because it comes into contact with the skin, but I eventually got used to it and I have to say that their deodorants last all day long. And oh my god, how good it feels to smell good for a whole day. My favorite is the cotton flower scent.

Then I tried Martine Skin, the brand of influencer Gaëlle Garcia Diaz. Since I have total confidence in what she puts into her products, I placed an order without hesitation. I picked up a day cream (La crème) and a night cream (La grasse night) to include in my beauty routine. And frankly, I'm not disappointed with either product.

So let's move on to my morning routine. I start by cleansing my face with micellar water, then I apply The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% serum, which is for my acne, then the famous Maritne Skin day cream, a little Rituals SPF 50 sun cream to avoid wrinkles, and a shot of Respire deodorant (cotton flower scent) to smell good all day long.

Evening routine:

My evening routine is simpler. I cleanse my face and remove my make-up with soap, then I apply The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% acne treatment, a cream to moisturize my skin: Martine Skin's La Grasse Night (or I use Typology's 9-ingredient cream), sometimes I also apply the acne-fighting Epiduo Gel serum, which can only be purchased on ordonance (but beware, it attacks the skin hard, which is why I don't put it on every night, and if you do apply this product, you must avoid contact with the sun) and a little dab of Amilab lip balm (which I love because it moisturizes the lips so well).

Hair routine:

For my hair, I use WOW's primeur, which regulates sebum, so it's perfect for oily hair, and then I use the shampoo that works best for me, from The Ordinary. On the body side, I love The Body Shop shower gels because they contain natural ingredients.
