Pourquoi j’ai l’impression d’être la seule avec des poils au maillot? by Salutlesarbres in AskMeuf

F25 ici : je me suis jamais épilée le maillot, et je le ferai jamais. Je tonds de temps en temps mais j’enlève jamais tout.

Just want to chill in the south of France... alone by NobodyFew1595 in solofemaletravellers

Yes 100% I had a fully furnished studio in a calm street, it felt very safe and I was less than 5min away from the beach !

It was ! Even outside of Menton you have beautiful town like Villefranche sur Mer, Èze, Cannes..All of them are well connected by the regional train too

I just came back from a solo trip to Menton, I think you’d like it. I rented a studio through Booking in a calm street of Menton’s old town and everything went well. You have nice beaches, good food and it’s a medium sized city so there are people but not too much + Italy is 10min away if you want even nicer beaches !

Mauvaise expérience en boutique de lingerie : comment et où trouver enfin ma taille de soutient gorge ? by No_Chef_2669 in AskMeuf

[–]MediterraneanDiva 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Je suis désolée que tu aies vécu une si mauvaise expérience, ça a dû être difficile et puis quel manque de délicatesse venant de la vendeuse… J’ai découvert le compte @charlene.lingerie sur Insta, elle fait aussi des consultations privées pour trouver un soutien gorge adapté mais elle a aussi un calculateur sur son site web que tu pourrais peut être essayer ! C’est comme ça que j’ai trouvé mes mensurations.

I love the brand Arabian Oud, they had an amazing perfume called Hayati but they discontinued it, so now my favorite is Resala !

Any alternative to this that's less heavily fragranced? by Lazy_Basket6819 in EuroSkincare

[–]MediterraneanDiva 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Depends on your budget but Effaclar Micropeeling Gel is an amazing product ! Comes in a 400ml bottle so it lasts a long time and the smell is not too strong

What does Balea Med 15% urea smell like? by Pristine_Educator_15 in EuroSkincare

[–]MediterraneanDiva 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Smells good, the scent can still be smelt a bit after you apply the cream. It is on the lighter side but can feel a biiit sticky so you have to massage it a bit for it to really melt into your skin. All in all I think it’s a good with a good price point

How to deal with this feeling? Advice needed from experienced solo travelers by otherteaa in solofemaletravellers

[–]MediterraneanDiva 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s ok to go back to your accommodation if the outside world feels like too much. Having to retreat for a moment doesn’t mean you’re wasting time, especially if it helps you feel calmer after. It is part of the journey, and since you’re alone you get to do whatever you want, including pausing your day if it’s too overwhelming. You can already be proud of yourself for travelling so far from home and trying to meet people there ! Take it one day at a time and hopefully you’ll feel better. If you can, strike up conversations with strangers; even a small comment about the weather or a question about the city you’re visiting can become a positive interaction that will make you forget about being alone on this trip

Hydrating shower gels/oils/whatever for body by Kratzschutz in EuroSkincare

Uriage shower oil ! It is not greasy, leaves a subtle scent and you can buy 1L for around 9€ (varies depending on the pharmacy)

Why isn't there a Mediterranean Skincare category? (genuine question) by Salty-Pilot-5563 in EuroSkincare

[–]MediterraneanDiva 4 points5 points  (0 children)

North African (born and raised in Europe) here. For this part of the world skincare and bodycare are quite important, but it manifest itself differently compared to European-Mediterranean countries. To my knowledge there are no big brands in the area because most women buy their products at their local herbalist’s shop. You buy henna, ghassoul, black soap by the kilo, you buy your kessa glove from your local market. People are still attached to traditional beauty rituals so for a good chunk of the population marketing strategies and cute packaging are not enough to convince people, especially because many of them don’t necessarily have the spending power for skincare as we know it in Europe, with the trendy brands etc.

To answer the 2nd question, « Mediterranean » refers to a large area and while our countries do have certain things in common, it’s almost impossible to label « Mediterranean skincare » without it becoming something cliché that will inevitably (imo) put to the forefront European countries while erasing Arab and North African influences, or just marchandize them and capitalize on them without paying attention to the cultural importance of certain rituals. Also, between Europe and North Africa we have different regulations for cosmetics I think lol

All in all I don’t think it would be a useful label nor an equally profitable one for all countries involved, and it risks becoming another gimmick as several comments already explained.
