The Truth About French Beauty

There are lots of misconceptions about French beauty. The truth about French beauty is that while most people think that French women take an “effortless” approach to their beauty routines, that isn’t exactly the case.

In fact, French women put just as much time and effort into their beauty routines as Americans do. They love cult beauty products just as much as the next person and they have no problem dedicating time to self-care. Will they spend three or four hours in the bathroom each day? Probably not. But the French beauty standards definitely involve some work.
