France with Caudalie and Christophe Robin
The Parisian woman's secrets are mostly enveloped in simplistic gentleness. A few never missed steps of an everyday skincare regime keep skin glowing, supple, and gorgeous.Two French hallmarks of skincare, Caudalie and Christophe Robin, afford us select secrets to simplify our beauty routines. From the youthful grapeseeds of the French countryside, to using cleansing lemon and the blend of lavender and oil, these two French Beauty powerhouses are leaders staying true to honest and beneficial ingredients, while bestowing beauty and healthfulness with reasonable price points.
CAUDALIE
Caudalie began as a French vineyard love story between man and wife, and their passion for clean and honest, yet powerful ingredients. The vines and grapes provide so many beautifying and anti aging benefits to the skin. Among these are:Polyphenols - antioxidants protecting the skin against oxidation and wrinkles!Resveratrol - smooths skin, firms and resculpts the skinGrapevine Sap (Viniferine) - a brightener 62 times more effective than vitamin C, evens the skin tone. It also helps prevent dark spots caused by sun damage, pregnancy-related hormones and other issues and restores the skin's radiance.One of their bestsellers is the Caudalie Beauty Elixir which is recommended for all skin types and is the one item everyone should have! It contains rosemary and myrrh to tone the skin while mint acts as an astringent. Rose oil soothes and prepares your complexion for further treatments. Grape extract moisturizes skin and adds radiance.
Meanwhile, the Premier Cru The Eye Cream has all the patented anti aging ingredients exclusive to Caudalie! The eye area is perfectly hydrated and appears firmer, wrinkles and fine lines are visibly smoothed. The appearance of dark circles and puffiness is reduced, to reveal an eye area brightened with renewed youth.
The iconic plant-based certified organic Grape Water is also a French beauty must have. Extracted from organic grapes during the grapevine harvest, Grape Water has become a Caudalie cult favorite due to its powerful multi-tasking properties. Constructed from 100% organic plant water, this gentle mist moisturizes, soothes and refreshes the skin, whilst also reducing sensitivity. Enriched with moisturizing polysaccharides and mineral salts, it provides an instant boost of hydration whenever you need it.
CHRISTOPHE ROBIN
Beginning his career as a 15-year-old hair coloring genius, Christophe Robin learned to teach women that beautiful hair color was earned by taking care of the hair and using only the most healthy and nourishing ingredients. His salon became a haven for supermodels - who would only go to the best. Each woman has a perfect color and his products help us achieve that beauty. From the scalp to the delicate ends, ingredients such as soothing rose hip and prickly pear seed oil are introduced, while ammonia in hair color and detergents and sulfites are banned from all his products.My favorite product is the Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Oil. You can apply after shampooing and leave it in for a while, or wash out in the shower right away, and your hair will feel so soft, smooth, and moisturized without feeling weighed down.
Almost everyone can use at least one of the following two leave-in must have treatments!For Frizzy, wavy, unruly hair - Reach for Christophe Robin's Anti-Frizz Rescue Milk with Shea Butter.
For a natural beautiful bodied lift like a French girl's hair in the countryside, use the Christophe Robin Instant Volumizing Mist with Rose Water. Spritz this on flipped over locks beginning at the roots and throughout. Too, an added benefit? Rose Water Improves Hair Growth. The vitamins A, B3, C and E of rose water promote the growth of your hair, by nourishing the scalp and promoting hair follicles to kick into high gear.Find your shade!

HUNGARY With Omorovicza
Thousands of years of mixing races and ethnic groups and transforming beautiful shades of skin and striking bone structures make Hungary the Eastern European land of beautiful people. Here the earth's crust is thinner, so waters absorb the precious minerals more effectively. It is from these minerals, and in the country where the Nobel prize winning discovery of Vitamin C occurred, that the Budapest skincare line, Omorovicza was born. Stephen and Margaret Omorovicza made it their passion to create a way to ensure the minerals are bioavailable – penetrating deeply into the skin so they can work their magic.Omorovicza’s Thermal Cleansing Balm
To remove your day from the face - even the most waterproof mascara dissolves with gentle care. This one starts out as a mud and massages into an effortless cleansing balm. The balm becomes a luxurious oil which hugs the skin with moisture until gently splashed and then toweled off. This is one of the best cleansers I have ever used.

The thermal lake in Budapest renews itself every 24 hours. At the bottom of the lake lies the organic black rock full of magnesium and calcium. These nutrients not only detoxify but also firm and improve the skin’s texture and tone.
