French skincare products on a vanity

The Birth of SklnsMonkrey

SklnsMonkrey began in 2019 as a passion project born from my deep appreciation for French skincare philosophy. After living in Paris for several years, I was captivated by the French approach to beauty – one that prioritizes healthy skin over heavy makeup, preventative care over quick fixes, and views skincare as a pleasurable ritual rather than a chore.

What started as casual conversations with friends about my favorite French pharmacy finds and beauty tips evolved into this blog, where I aim to demystify French skincare and make it accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live.

Our Mission

Authenticity

We share genuine French skincare wisdom, not commercialized interpretations. Every product recommended has been personally tested and every routine has been practiced.

Science-Based

While we appreciate the tradition behind French beauty, we also validate our recommendations with dermatological research and expert consultations.

Accessibility

We believe French skincare should be accessible to all, so we provide alternatives and solutions for different budgets and locations.
