The Best Facials & Spas in Paris [2025]
When I had a permanent job in Paris, I was so stressed and tired on weekends that I had to get a massage/pampering every week to relax a bit. And despite myself, I got to try quite a few spas and beauty institutes, plus the gifts people gave me, knowing my habit. I’m going to give you my non-exhaustive list of spas I really loved. Véronique Meissonnier I opted for the bespoke facial at Véronique Meissonier. A massage therapist and physiotherapist by training, she’s part of the French Facialists Club. She was trained by the master of Kobido (an ancient Japanese massage technique). Her one-hour bespoke facial is divine! She…

How to order from US websites and get delivery in France
Have you ever drooled over Sephora USA or Amazon USA, wondering why they don’t sell in Europe? Today, I’m going to share my tips for ordering from US websites and getting delivery in France. This article is not sponsored and is only intended to help you find what you need. The US market is huge, which is why many US websites and sellers prefer to sell only in the US rather than dealing with international shipping (with customs and currency issues). However: How to order from a US website that doesn’t ship to Europe/France? There are services that receive all your orders for you in the US. By signing up,…

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1% Review: Before/After 6 Months
It’s so rare! Not only did I finish this The Ordinary serum in record time, but I also scoured the internet to find my second bottle, in the middle of nowhere in Nicaragua. For someone who regularly switches up their skincare products, I can hardly believe it myself. That’s when I knew I had to tell you about it. This post is not NOT sponsored I fell for the products The Ordinary after my trip to the United States. It’s just easier to have the products right in front of you, and especially to have a brand advisor right there. They have a store in New York, and it’s as…

Adult Acne: How I got rid of it. Before/After Photos (The Ordinary, Mario Badescu, SkinCeuticals, Uriage, Benton, Drunk Elephant, COSRX, Rosette)
Stumbling upon old photos of myself, I realized my skin has literally transformed. Even during my period, I no longer get hormonal breakouts. I never thought that day would come, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it stays this way. If you’re on the brink of despair like I was a few years ago, here are some leads that might possibly help you. Before, during my teenage years, I had breakouts concentrated on my T-zone. My cheeks were spared. After dealing with it for about ten years, I went to see a dermatologist who wanted to prescribe Roaccutane, which I refused. Instead, I got 3 months of antibiotics –…

[Review] Foreo Luna Mini 3: For Clean and Smooth Skin
After several months in Asia, my skin is severely congested (thanks to pollution and sweat!), and I have to face the facts: I need a device to wash my face, my hands are not enough. This isn’t the first time I’ve used a facial cleansing device. I had a Clarisonic, then several Foreo Luna Play Plus which gave up the ghost after a year because the battery compartment wasn’t waterproof enough. I need a device with a waterproof USB port, not a battery: I opted for the Foreo Luna Mini 3, a fairly simple cleansing device. Compact and easy to carry, LUNA™ Mini 3 is designed to give you instantly fresh…

My Facial Skincare Routine & Adult Acne FAQ
As my article on acne is already long enough, I suggest you continue reading the FAQ here: Why not incorporate Vitamin C into the routine when you still have breakouts? Vitamin C can worsen acne, causing even more inflammation. Vitamin C should be used on healthy skin. Once your skin has cleared up, if the skin barrier is seriously damaged, you even need to use B5, copper peptides, or ceramides repairing the skin barrier before touching Vitamin C. Why not use exfoliation when you still have breakouts ? Many blogs keep telling us that we should exfoliate the skin and “bring” pimples to the surface so they go away faster.…

[Behind the Scenes] My New Blog About Cosmetics: Mehach.com
It’s after much thought that I’ve decided to launch a new blog, which will mainly talk about cosmetics. It’s about mehach.com I even created an Instagram account @mehach.beauty and a Facebook account separately. I hope you’ll follow me there.
