How to wash your face like a French woman
There’s a feeling among some French women that washing the face with water causes a dry, wrinkled visage, so they shun it like breakfast and running.
This new creamy cleanser from Patyka, one of France’s few truly natural beauty brands, is meant to cater to their water-free whims.
It contains shea butter, a hint of lavender oil, and it goes on like a lotion. You remove it with a tissue or cotton pad. So instead of washing at the sink, you can pretty much do it anywhere.

There are some very lovely French actresses of all ages whom I admire exceedingly, but in general, I do not emulate French women.
Let me insert the obligatory joke of “How to Deodorize like a French Woman [Don't Use Deodorant.]”
This expensive product might work for women with very dry skin. I prefer soap or some kind of cleanser and H20.
One very good reason Parisiennes might avoid using their local brew is it’s filled with chalk. Ever gaze at a glass after washing and then attempt to wash it again? That’s why they drink all the bottled stuff except when in a resto.
The French are crazy for treatments over makeup anyway.
hey I have oily skin in the T zone, I was wriedonng if you use the cetaphil cleanser for all skin types or do u use the normal to oily skin? Which one would u recommend for me? Thnx
