Haein details her summer trip to Europe, particularly focusing on her experiences during the Paris Olympics and her unexpected battle with acne. Although she generally does not struggle with breakouts, she encountered issues toward the end of her travels. In search of solutions, she visited a Paris pharmacy where she discovered Caudalie's Vinopure line, which targets acne-prone skin. Despite her dry skin concerns, she found the products surprisingly hydrating and effective, highlighting the French approach to beauty as clean and minimalist, much like their fashion.
I sprouted whiteheads across my forehead and cystic-like bumps on my cheeks...while I experience hormonal flare-ups from time to time, acne hasn't really been my area of concern.
Their approach to beauty is quite similar. There's a refined simplicity to it - a ✨ je ne sais quoi ✨ - in the way that it's minimal, functional, and even quite clinical.
So when I stopped by the pharmacy in desperate need of help, I asked a French pharmacist about products that could help me - and they absolutely delivered.
I was more than pleasantly surprised to find that while this was mattifying, it was also plenty hydrating. The texture was light and almost gel-like.
