Simone France Skincare Review – “The French Connection”
Laura Mercier, Francois Nars, and Sonia Kashuk trusted their own skin to a woman named Simone France.
Now I can add myself to that list.
I’m so France-y!
For 50+ years, Simone gave facials to beauty insiders at her “secret address” in NYC. She worked alone, and you had to know someone to get an appointment.
Now, you’ve got your own French connection. Simone’s products are available to everyone!
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL
The foundation of the company is individualized skincare, and they are dedicated to it. They offer a Skincare Quiz to determine which products work best for your skin type/issues.
Questions? Skin issues? Instant message through live chat on their website, Skype, or call skincare their experts. They WANT to talk to you and make certain all your questions are answered.
MY EXPERIENCE
My skincare quiz determined my skin to be “Normal to Slightly Dry.” Overall, these products are gentle, they pamper my skin – something my aging skin needs, and I often forget because I’m too busy scrubbing with an exfoliant.
From the minimalist packaging to the fragrance-free products, this system is all about SIMPLICITY: simple ingredients and a “no-hype” philosophy.
Here’s what was designed for me, click HERE to see the order of products and specific directions. You can buy Simone France skincare systems on Amazon, or buy individual products as well. I have linked each product below to Amazon.
1. Morning Routine
Refining Scrub: A gentle exfoliant. The grains melt as you add more water so you can easily customize the perfect texture for your individual skin’s needs.
Soap: I love this bar of soap! Made with 100% organic ingredients, it cleans without drying. And you feel clean, no residue. UPDATE: Since writing this review, I have purchased this soap for myself…and my husband, because he kept stealing mine.
Lovely Glow: I only need a small bit of this moisturizer for all-day moisture. I have used this moisturizer to remove eye makeup and for double cleansing, as the company recommends. It is truly amazing and I have to have some on hand at all times. UPDATE: This is a product I have purchased again since writing this review.
2. Evening Routine
Cleansing Milk:
A lotion-like, cream cleanser that dissolves makeup and the grime of the day. Skin feels moisturized afterward.
Refreshing Toner:
Does. Not. Burn. It’s refreshing, leaving skin feeling super clean. I use a little Lovely Glow moisturizer on my drier areas after the toner.
3. My “Sometimes” Products (1-3 times per week)
French Clay Mask:
Excellent pore tightener. Great for before special events, as makeup wears best on tightened pores.
Instant Radiance Exfoliating Mask:
This is designed to deep clean pores, brighten and firm skin, heal blemishes, balance excess oiliness/dryness, and help even out your skin tone.
Using this before applying one of the other masks will increase your results, as you have removed dead skin and deep cleaned first. The company recommends that if you try no other Simone France products, this is the one to try…And I have to agree.
There is so much information on each product, and many MORE products that address skin types other than mine. Take the QUIZ (about one minute) and find out your type.
I can see and feel a difference in my skin. It’s soft, hydrated, and more balanced. It feels healthy. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for to deal with my dry, winter skin.
So will I be ordering more?
Oui, Oui!
These products were provided to me by Simone France for consideration for review. As always these are my honest opinions. If a product does not work well for me I simply don’t review it.
