Ready to shine without artifice?

Well-cleansed, moisturized skin is the basis for feeling beautiful without make-up. Opt for gentle, effective products like those from Simple, which respect sensitive skin.
A good cleansing in the morning and evening, followed by a moisturizing cream, helps keep your complexion fresh and radiant.
The result: you wake up with radiant skin, ready to face the day without any artifice!

3. Drink lots of water
Hydration is the secret to supple, luminous skin. Experts recommend drinking at least 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day.
Water helps eliminate toxins and keep your complexion fresh.
Tip: add slices of lemon or cucumber for a touch of fun and vitamins.
Good hydration is the best basis for feeling pretty without make-up!
4. Pamper your eyebrows
Well-shaped eyebrows structure the face and enhance the eyes, even without make-up. Brush them every morning and lightly pluck them to keep a natural shape.
You can also apply a little castor oil to strengthen them. Well-groomed eyebrows are the express tip for an effortless "wow" effect!
5. Just smile
A genuine smile brightens the face and boosts self-confidence.
According to a study by Cardiff University, smiling not only makes you more attractive, but also improves your mood.
Even without make-up, a genuine smile is an eye-catcher.
So don't hesitate to put on your best face: it's contagious and it feels good!
6. Get enough sleep
Sleep is the best beauty treatment!
Eight hours' sleep a night allows the skin to regenerate and regain its radiance. Dark circles and a dull complexion fade, giving way to a rested look.
To help you sleep better, start a relaxing routine before bedtime: herbal tea, reading or meditation.
A good night's sleep and you'll glow naturally!
7. Treat yourself to gourmet, healthy meals
Feeling pretty also means enjoying yourself at the table! La Boîte du Chef's balanced, tasty dishes are the perfect way to combine indulgence and well-being.
Eating fresh, varied food helps to keep your skin beautiful and your energy at its best. Taking care of yourself also means taking care of your plate!
8. Physical activity
Exercise is good for your morale and your skin! Physical activity stimulates blood circulation, resulting in a more radiant complexion. Even a simple 30-minute walk a day can make all the difference. Sport also releases endorphins, the happy hormones. The result: you feel beautiful, strong and full of energy, without make-up!
9. Use natural care products
Homemade masks based on honey, avocado or yoghurt do wonders for the skin. The natural ingredients are rich in nutrients and respect the skin's balance.
A moisturizing mask once a week helps keep skin soft and radiant.
Taking care of yourself with natural products is simple, economical and ultra-effective!
10. Wear clothes that make you look your best
Choose outfits that you feel good in and that reflect your personality.
Bright colors or flattering cuts boost self-esteem.
According to a study by the University of Hertfordshire, wearing clothes you like boosts your self-confidence by 62%.
Dare to use accessories and patterns that make you smile: your style is your signature!
11. Take care of your hair
Clean, well-styled hair makes all the difference.
A gentle shampoo, a nourishing mask and the right cut are all it takes to make your hair shine.
Shiny, healthy hair frames the face and gives an immediate healthy glow.
Don't hesitate to try out new hairstyles to vary the pleasures and feel naturally pretty!
12. Treat yourself to a moment of cocooning
Taking time out for yourself is essential to feeling beautiful.
A hot bath, a yoga session or a massage at home can help you release pressure and reconnect with yourself.
These little moments of relaxation reduce stress, which is the number-one enemy of radiant skin. Inner well-being shows on the outside!
13. Show off your natural assets
Identify what you like about yourself: your eyes, your cheekbones, your hair...
Enhance them with the right hairstyle, accessory or clothing.
Focusing on your strengths boosts your confidence and helps you accept yourself as you are.
Beauty is also a question of attitude and self-confidence!
14. Surround yourself with positivity
Positive people and environments directly influence self-perception. Spend time with friends who value and encourage you.
Sincere compliments and positive vibes boost your self-esteem.
The more you're surrounded by kindness, the more you'll glow naturally, without the need for filters or make-up!
15. Practice self-compassion
Be gentle with yourself!
Accept your little imperfections and celebrate your successes.
Self-compassion helps reduce stress and improve self-image.
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality, people who are kind to themselves feel more beautiful and fulfilled.
Beauty begins with self-love, without filters or artifice.
