Beauty News NYC Official and Gesha-Marie Bland talk all things French Beauty.
Two-hundred-and-thirty-six years ago the modern French Republic was born in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Paris Fashion Week, the fantastic shopping in the Marais, and the exported skin care, makeup and perfume would be unthinkable without the events of 1789.
Skincare and beauty are a tradition that the French take seriously. Their beauty and prestige exports are as central to their national identity as “La Marseillaise.” To honor the French revolution that birthed so many things we take for granted, we celebrate Bastille Day with our favorite iconic French beauty products that lend that effortless Paris It Girl vibe.
The first thing one notices about women in Paris, from the ultra chic to the low-maintenance, is their effortless beauty routines. Not too much make-up, not shimmering glass complexions, just great skin – healthy and hydrated. Their secret: targeted professional skin care that nourishes with clean simple ingredients and professional formulations.
One will also spot a bottle of the infamous stinky toner in the average Parisian shelfie. The Lotion P50 exfoliating toner, the legendary pore-perfecting, stinky elixir, from Biologique Recherche is known for dozens of other serums, toners, treatments and masks that offer professional-level, botanical-based purification, exfoliation and plumping. Equally effective Lotion P50 toners for oily, hyperpigmented, and Lotion P50 W for sensitive skin can, as well as salon-level hair care, can be found at Paul Labrecque Salon and Skin Care Spa.
As the first purveyor of the prestige French brand in NYC starting in 1998, Paul Labrecque is The Original Biologique Recherche Skincare Spa offering a variety of Biologique Recherche spa facials for snatched, refreshed complexions and salon treatments for purified scalps and glossy hair that bring a little bit of Parisian beauty to New York City.
