1

Take Wonderful Care of Your Skin

French women value their skin highly and take excellent care of it. They don’t neglect their skincare routine no matter how tired they may be when bedtime comes. They also happily spend money on quality skincare products because they understand it pays off. Your skin is always with you so it’s more important to prioritize than having the latest trendy outfit. 👗

2

Enjoy Everything in Moderation

French women won’t turn down a slice of cake 🍰 but they may ask for a smaller slice. They know how to enjoy everything in moderation. The obesity rate of the United States is ranked as #6 while France comes in way down the line at #31 according to the article I read at obesity.procon.org Weight isn’t as much of a struggle for the French because they don’t overeat or make poor food choices nearly as badly as Americans. Of course, this’s only speaking in generalities and understanding that there’re exceptions on both sides.

3

A Great Haircut is Worth the Cost

American women tend to focus on daily hair styling and hair styling products. In contrast, French women focus on getting the best haircut possible. Their philosophy is that a great cut will ensure they have great hair and there’s a lot of wisdom in that. They’ll happily shell out for the cost of a great haircut because they know it helps them look fabulous without a lot of daily time and effort. We can all agree that a talented hairdresser is very valuable!

4

Go for a Daily Walk

Most French women don’t have a workout routine that includes hitting the gym. Instead they get their exercise naturally by walking more than we do. They often walk to get from place to place or just for the pure pleasure of it. They try to get a daily walk in of at least 30 minutes. Over the course of a week that adds up to 3 and a half hours.

5

Respect the Sun

I deeply regret my teen years spent basking in the sun and baking myself in a tanning bed. I have a feeling some of you feel the same way. French women have always had a culture of respecting the sun and it’s power. They don’t spend hours trying to achieve the perfect bronze look. Instead they embrace their natural coloring and protect themselves from the sun by using a high SPF sunscreen.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Confucius

Be Confident in Your Own Unique Beauty

Insecurities don’t run rampant in French women like they do in American women. And I have to say that I love this about the French and think we should all work toward becoming that way. French women know they’re unique and that there’s no one else quite like them on earth. They embrace their own personal beauty. In turn, this makes them confident which is a very sexy trait in a woman!

7

Only Wear the Makeup You Need

The majority of American women love makeup and value it over skincare. The French have an opposite approach. They love skincare and value it over makeup. They realize that if they have beautiful skin then they’ll need much less makeup. They’re very comfortable letting their skin show and only using a few makeup products such as eyeliner, mascara and lipstick. 💄 While we may not love this approach, it’s worth trying on occasion.

These’re 7 beauty rules French women follow. Which of them was inspirational to you? Are you fascinated with French beauty?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I wish some of the girls in my city knew this.. (Toulon, France)

I meant how are cultural beauty practices racist?

Ladies don't take it to the heart , because real beauty starts within . It doesn't matter where we are from .

These are wonderful tips for women but French women do have beautiful Vanessa Paradis who was married to Johnny depp and Catherine Denueve who was a beautiful French actress back in the day

I'm from Germany, and now I live in America. I follow these same guidelines. Water and nutrition is the most important key though!!

RedElmoPaint is savage

I think that French women are seen as muses that's why she wrote that. France is the mother of glamour and beauty, this article has nothing to do with racism. Personnally, I associate Paris to fashion and beauty! It's more like a fashion history reference, right?

I follow all these ...guess what? I'm African American. I think all women with great skin can and has contributed greatly to the ideal skincare regime...just adding.

Andrianna, how exactly are cultural beauty practices. No where did she make false accusations towards races other than French. She clearly said there are exceptions on both sides.

Hahahahaha i wish this was true. But Nice of you to write:-) for some this is might be true but for some american women as well:-)
