Skin perfecting serum, anti-aging serum, hydrating serum, foundation serum… Quite confusing, isn’t it? Serums are more and more accessible but they’re also somewhat a cash cow for cosmetics laboratories. You can find all kind of serums, but can they all really be considered a “serum”? A foundation serum like the last Dior, what is it exactly? A serum […]

10 key questions for an effective skincare routine
Inundated with information about skincare? Feeling it’s impossible to find an effective skincare routine… We often hear anything and everything about the skin: ‘the right gestures’, the miracle skincare products promising a ‘complete transformation of your skin’…
In this post, I want to focus on questions that I have often been asked in my professional life.
I worked for a cosmetics brand as a trainer for spas and beauticians for almost 10 years. I have often met regular customers in pharmacies, department stores, beauty counters while I was training the sales personnel…
Bombarded with so many cosmetics adverts, magazine articles and of course beauty blogs, why wouldn’t you feel overwhelmed. It’s so tempting to buy the latest skincare product from [fill in the blank] because you so want to believe in miracles. And of course at the end, more often than not, you feel disappointed.
Wild Argan Oil by The Body Shop, my review
Oooh, great, a new bath and body range from The Body Shop with Wild Argan Oil…
That’s exactly what I thought when I walked past the window of The Body Shop store in the Mall a couple of weeks ago.
I must say that as always, the packaging was more than attractive, and very Instagram-friendly. It’s just like liquid gold. Or honey. Well, it’s just beautiful, that’s all!
Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, my review
I’m not gonna lie, this post has been quite complicated (and long) to write… An anti-dark spots treatment is not the easiest product to put to the test.

My 5 favorite French pharmacy skincare products
If there is something that I’m really missing from home, it is my dear French pharmacies (ok, and my French boulangeries also)(starting to write a blog post around noon doesn’t help much). Because, yes, French pharmacies are the best place to find some very good skincare products that are generally very cheap. Here, in Dubaï, some of the French […]

Today, I will tell you about a revolutionary product (for me at least): the Goldfaden MD Sun Visor SPF 30, an high protection suncare mist.
I know I already talked about sunscreen very recently, but I couldn’t not show you this product. Because for me, it is really a true technical innovation!
Daily UV protection, the best anti-age skin care treatment
It’s finally springtime! The celebration of nature, flowers, birds and the first rays of sunshine on the terrace…
And, yes, today, I’ve decided to be a killjoy and talk about daily UV protection! I believe that the best way to preserve the youthfulness of your skin is to protect it every day, all year round.
