Scalp care is all the rage these days, but the French have been caring for their scalp for decades. This lightweight scalp treatment reinforces the scalp's natural protection and soothes irritation (like dandruff, dryness, or itchy scalp). Plus, it's is silicone-free, vegan, and pH balanced.

I do not leave the house without at least a travel-size of this facial mist in my bag. Just one spray infuses the skin with hydrating and soothing antioxidant water. Layer it under makeup for an extra glow or spritz throughout the day for added hydration.

This is the OG milk cleanser before milk cleansers were even a thing. This creamy face wash is gentle on skin and thoroughly cleanses while maintaining the skin barrier.

The product that started a revolution: micellar water has taken the beauty world by storm, and you can thank the French for that. This one cleanses the skin while it hydrates and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.

The French don't just have "no-makeup makeup," they actually wear no makeup. To keep skin glowing sans foundation, a good vitamin C product brightens up and corrects imperfections. This one has 10 percent pure vitamin C, neurosensine, and salicylic acid.

I don't know if you consider toothpaste to be a beauty product, but a French woman knows that good dental hygiene is a crucial part of her beauty routine. Plus, how pretty would this one look on your bathroom counter instead of the basic brand you have now?

You've heard of cleansing balms for your face, but what about a balm for your body? Thermal spring water and shea butter combine to soften the skin, safflower oil protects against oxidative stress; and notes of rose, jasmine, and bergamot are just plain fancy (and smell amazing).

When it comes to serums, the French know what they're doing. This one visibly reduces the look of lines, wrinkles, and signs of premature sun damage with ingredient superstars like retinol and vitamin B3.

A mineral face sunscreen in the form of a tinted compact?? Yep, sign me up. Plus, it contains skin-nourishing vitamin E for potent antioxidant protection and thermal spring water to soften the skin. Your SPF has never looked prettier.

This hydrating, firming lotion is formulated with hyaluronic acid, LHA, and 10 botanical oils, so you're giving your skin the very best. It firms while evening out your skin's complexion for an all-over glow.

Ever since first trying this facial sunscreen in Paris, I've been hooked. Not only does it protect against sun damage like a normal SPF, but it absorbs pore-clogging oil to prevent breakouts (can your SPF do that?). As if that didn't sell me already, it also has a matte finish, which means no more greasy sunscreen face.

Anti-aging is big for French women, and they do what they can to prevent wrinkles around delicate areas like the eyes. This eye cream contains antioxidants and vitamin E to protect and moisturize, dextran sulfate to minimize puffiness, and the classic thermal water to relieve irritation.

You know when you stumble upon those products that change your beauty routine? For me, finding this multi-purpose dry oil was one of those moments. It can be used on your face, body, or hair for a moisturized and soft feel that isn't greasy. Don't buy multiple oils for your body, face, and hair! You just need this one.

Before we were putting oat milk in our lattes, the French were putting oat milk in their dry shampoos. French women do effortless beauty better than anybody, and dry shampoo is a staple in achieving effortless beauty. I love this one because it's nourishing and soothing (thanks to the oat milk!), unlike most dry shampoos.

For an extra brightening boost, this formula contains 15 percent pure Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid for brighter skin that feels firmer in a few days. This serum is also really good for protecting against environmental damage from things like pollution or sun exposure.

If you need a super hydrating and thick cream (without feeling too heavy or greasy), look no further than this refreshing Avène product that revitalizes dull and lackluster complexion —without clogging pores.

What would a list of beauty products be without a really good mask? This one is a five-minute radiance booster for luminous and glowing skin, made with natural AHAs from plant extracts to gently exfoliate the skin's surface for immediate results.

If you live in a big city like Paris (or, you know, Chicago), odds are you're exposed to pollution on a regular basis. We're starting to be conscious of protecting our skin, but the French know that our hair and scalps need protection too. This purifying mist uses protection from antioxidants to detoxify and protect from pollution, as well as decreasing odors or irritation.

Your acne has officially met its match, and it comes in chic packaging. This topical treatment helps clear and prevent blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, and blemishes with a prescription-strength retinoid. Plus, it improves the skin's overall tone and texture, as if clearing it up wasn't enough.

Leave it to the French to reinvent skincare altogether. These futuristic capsules provide a daily dose of phyto-peptides, 10 percent pure vitamin C, natural origin hyaluronic acid, and Vichy mineralizing water. The future of skincare is looking efficient, powerful, and a little bit French.

A couple of years back, I tried my first clean mascara, and it is still one of my all-time favorites. I recently discovered a new clean brand of mascara that is water-resistant, made with non-GMO ingredients, and packaged in a glass tube. I know the terms "clean" and "natural" can be a bit confusing, but Crunchi has a list of blacklisted ingredients that defines what clean means to their company. 

I could spend hours watching Danessa Myricks' makeup tutorials. After watching one of her foundation how-tos on IGTV, I stumbled upon her line of makeup and purchased a neon pink eyeshadow that I get compliments on each time I rock it. She has now released a formula that you can use on your lips, cheeks, and eyes. Who doesn't love a multi-purpose product? Neon pink might not be your color of choice (though I think everyone should give a bright color a try), but don't you worry, she has everything from nudes to deep-purple hues. 

If you didn't catch Lizzo's chocolatey-bedazzled nails at the Brit Awards, please Google it—you won't be disappointed. The moment I saw that mani, I had to know more about the rich, brown color on the tips of her nails. The nail color is a part of Nails Inc Coco For Real Duo, and get this: the color smells like chocolate when applied to your nails. 

When Glossier drops a new product, beauty lovers usually pay attention. Skywash is a fragrance-free, liquid-to-powder, buildable eyeshadow that is applied at the swipe of a wand. Glossier is known for their no-makeup makeup products, and this makes it easy for even the lowest maintenance makeup lovers to add a pop of color to their lids. 

Since taking out my box braids, my coils have been significantly drier and more tangled. So, deep conditioning has been my goal every wash week, and with ingredients like glycerin, avocado oil, and shea butter, I knew my hair was in good hands with newly released reconstructor. A pro-tip for my coily girls out there: don't skip the plastic cap and 20 minutes of heat coupled with your conditioner, especially after taking down a protective style. 

Many sheet masks on the market have fragrance in them, and for those of us with sensitive, reactive skin, even naturally-derived fragrance can cause a breakout. Bliss' latest release is not only pretty to put on, but it is fragrance-free and packed with ingredients like rose flower, glycerin, and colloidal gold. Oh, and be aware that this mask comes in two pieces. 

Hydration, especially in the winter months, is vital to keeping skin looking its best. Leave it to The Ordinary to give us a product that not only hydrates, but is sustainably sourced at the same price as a matcha oat milk latte (well, at least in LA). You can only snag this online, but it will be worth the wait.

You may know the woman-led startup Athena Club for their period care options that include organic tampons and pads. But, the company is leaning into body care as well, and their naturally fragrant body wash that doubles as shaving cream is one of my new favorites. Fragrance tends to cause breakouts on my face and back, so this dual-use wash will be a staple in my shower. 

The sunscreen experts at SUPERGOOP! just dropped an updated gel version of their Unseen Sunscreen. The Glowscreen still has the same SPF coverage and makeup primer benefits, but is now packed with Hyaluronic Acid and Cocoa Peptides (to help protect the skin from blue-light damage from our phones and computers), so our skin glows while staying protected. 

If you love Jackie Aina and Patrick Starrr, get ready to fall in love with these two YouTubers-turned-beauty-icons’ collaboration with black-owned beauty brand UOMA. The collection will feature two shimmer shade lipsticks, lashes, an eyeshadow palette, and a face and body bronzing highlighter just in time for spring vacations!

Famed celebrity hair-stylist Jen Atkin just released six new products: three shampoos (fine, medium, and thick) and three conditioners (fine, medium, and thick). What I love about this release is the bottles are refillable, which helps the brand reduce their carbon footprint by 30 percent. 

This hair tool has been out for a couple of months, but I wanted to share it with you all because you asked if there were more budget-friendly blow dryer and diffuser options for natural girls in the comment section of a hair story I wrote. I heard you and have been looking for one, and I think I may have found a good option. While the Dyson has some excellent benefits, one being its compact size, the $400 price tag doesn’t make it the most budget-friendly option. I found this diffuser that gave me frizz-free results, which is always the goal for curly girls, no matter your texture. The dryer has three heat settings and two dryer speed settings—my recommendation is to keep both on low for the best results. 

Spring may be around the corner, but the winter temperatures are still here wreaking havoc on our skin, especially sensitive areas like our hands, knees, and elbows. This body butter whipped up with virgin coconut, shea nut butter, and 150 mg of CBD is the perfect dose of self-care and moisture.

Cleaning makeup brushes should be on our weekly to-do lists, but it can be a chore. A silicone cleansing pad can help make the process somewhat easier (and less messy), and on top of that, it will help break down all the product buildup. One thing that makes Anisa's tool stand out is the handle that helps keep the pad securely in the palm of your hand.
