Why This French Beauty Philosophy Will ALWAYS Be In Style | French vs American Beauty Standards

What if the real issue with skincare isn’t the product—but the pressure behind it? In this Paris vlog, I’m sharing a few skincare products that didn’t work for me and using that as a lens to explore the deeper differences between American and French beauty standards. As a Black American woman living in Paris, I’ve noticed that French beauty isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It isn’t about finding a miracle serum, but aging with grace, rejecting the pressure to be flawless, and choosing beauty on your own terms. And maybe that’s what we’ve been missing. So I hope you enjoy learning more about French vs American beauty standards. Look forward to your thoughts in the comments. xoxo Adriel -- Follow Me -- Instagram:   / adrielfelise   TikTok:   / adrielfelise   Pinterest:   / adrielfelise   -- Shop -- Outfits: https://shopmy.us/adrielfelise Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/shop/adrielfelise Skincare and Beauty: https://shopmy.us/adrielfelise Paris Guides: https://adrielfelise.gumroad.com/ -- Keeping it 100 Disclaimer -- Affiliate links may be used above.
