Following up on my previous article how to be sexy like a French woman, below is a summary of what makes an older French lady as attractive, if not more, as a young girl.  That being said, it is not entirely true that French Women Don’t Get Fat.  Actually, French too get fat, though not as often as Americans do.

Personal care

1. For women in France, personal care does not have the ‘fast-food‘ approach that I see among American women.  The way the Italians and French enjoy their meals, they also take immense pleasure in pampering themselves.  No surprise then that some of the best skin and hair care products come out of France and French women use lots of them.  Anti-aging treatments begin during teen years.
2. Spas are essential destination for any French woman and treatments like facials and massages help them fight aging.  Do not forget that thalassotherapy is from France.
3. Be gentle to your skin by avoiding sun and soaps.

Haircare

They are just a bit more consistent about waxing, sugaring, or shaving on legs and underarms and they choose not to change their hair color drastically.

Makeup

Regardless of how natural makeup is and what the manufacturers claim, a makeup product is very different from personal care product.  That is why the less the better.  It is good for your skin and also you will always look natural, rather than made up.

Stylish at any age

1. While we are so hung up on age that so many experts make a living what not to do at certain age, the French women believe that looking good is just as natural as breathing; there is no reason to slow down at any age.  That is why a French woman will always pay attention to her attire and appearance.  And she better does it.  French men are known for doing nothing but people-watching (it should be called women watching0) while sitting in cafes pretending to drink coffee or reading newspapers.
2. French women also value quantity over quality in clothes.  They have fewer pieces and they mix and match them but they would never buy the crap sold at Forever 21 or Old Navy or Gap.

Fitness

1. As many women have found out, the biggest damage to the body comes from gaining weight and then losing it.  The sagging and the stretch marks destroy your body forever and no amount of care from plastic surgeons and dermatologists can undo that.  The French do what they can not to gain weight in the first place by following one simple rule: portion control.  That is why even though French cuisine is so rich, people are not obese.
2. The other thing that you will notice in Paris, and in France in general, is the absence of American style gyms and people running everywhere.  The reason we have them is because we eat too much and then avoid walking (people kill each other for parking spots close to a restaurant).  Paris is a city that requires a lot of walking and in the countryside, people either walk or use bikes.
