Must have skincare/ make up from France

[enidblythe]

Currently holidaying in France.
What are the must have beauty and skincare essentials I should pick up while here ? It s mind boggling in pharmacies here

A lot of the big French brands are easy enough to find in the UK now - Bioderma, La Roche Posay, Caudalie, Vichy are all in Boots, so I wouldn't bother with those. That said, I love the bath and body range from DOP and Petit Marsellais, particularly the soaps and shower gels, as they have such lovely fragrances like bergamot and verbena, and it's easier to find the whole range of Roger & Gallet products there. I like Biafine cream for soothing sore/irritated skin and stress ecxema, and Embryolisse lait-creme concentrate as a thicker moisturiser for the winter months. Bonne vacances!
