Sunday Mask Day! The third lockdown edition. Taking care of my face and feet edition. Step 1. Cleanse with the gentle Sensitive Camomille cleansing cream by Yves Rocher. Step 2. I feel my chin and nose look a bit congested so using Primark’s Detox Clay Mask. Step 3. In the meantime peeling the rest of my face with Nannic. Step 4. Nourish with Glossier. I also did a mini DIY pedicure. Step 1. Scrubbed my feet with this gentle Clarins scrub. Step 2. Used the automatic foot file by Philips on the soles of my feet. Step 3. Treated them to Ceravé’s peeling and nourishing body cream. The brand has a foot cream as well but I prefer to multitask with this one.

Time for some lockdown and Corona distraction! If you like your skin looking like your skin but a bit better, one of these BB cream meets foundation hybrids might be your cup of tea. I tried and tested them all. (None of them are fragrance-free though.) They’re perfect for the most natural looking nude and glowy make-up, in case you want to impress your colleagues during the next video call. More on the blog.

Sunday Mask Day, the second quarantaine Sunday (of many more to come) aka another hour filled with something to do while social distancing. Step 1. Gentle cleanse with a new Yves Rocher fragrance free cleanser with chamomile. (It’s formulated for sensitive skin, I say any skin can use this one.) Step 2. Peel with Nannic. Step 3. Nourish and hydrate with loads of glycerin, some hyaluronic acid and some bacteria lysate that works as a probiotic with Elizabeth Arden’s Superboost sheet mask. (My last one.) Skin looks glowy but that might also be the perfect light coming in our bedroom. 🤷🏻‍♀️I gave my hair that needed a haircut this week, which will be postponed for who knows how many weeks, some extra TLC with L’Oréal Professionnel’s Source Essentiel hair mask with sesame oil. More in my stories. #franxsmd #sundaymasking #coronaquarantine #yvesrocher #nannic #elizabetharden #superboostsheetmask #sheetmask #creamcleanser #peelingmask
Plenty of time to clear out your bathroom cupboard and get rid of products that are past their use by date. Especially when it comes to sunscreen, you have to respect the use by date and the number of months mentioned in that little jar on the packaging, which is how long you can safely use the product. Sunscreen filters will weaken after a while or when you stock them in very high or low temperatures. I am saying goodbye to these lovely products. La Roche Posay’s Cicaplast Baume comes with an SPF50 to protect and soothe wounds or very sensitive skin. I like using its Anthelios Spray SPF50 over make-up, preferably wearing an SPF cream under it. (It is very hard with a spray to know whether you covered every inch of skin.) Chanel’s UV Essentiel is an amazing daily SPF that works great under make-up. Lancaster’s Sun Sensitive BB Cream SPF50 is a tinted one, so great in summer when you don’t feel like wearing make-up. It is a bit too dark for me though and I think the brand only does one colour. I loved Lierac’s Sunissime Protective Eye Care stick with an SPF50. It’s tinted but don’t expect a lot of coverage. It’s a nice one to use if your eyes cannot stand regular sunscreen. #franxskincareempties #sunscreenempties #protecttheskinyourein #lancaster #sunsensitive #lierac #sunissime #uvessentiel #chanelbeauty #larocheposay #anthelios #cicaplastbaumeb5 #spf50 #presssamples
