Travelling = The Importance Of Skin Care

Factor in dehydration from the long flight; a lack of sleep and over indulgence and the first place to suffer is the skin.

Trying to look fresh and rested, glowing and healthy is hard when your body is screaming and your face looks like it’s done ten rounds in the ring.

None of it really matters of course but when you catch up with friends, meet new ones and attend meetings it is natural to want to look your best.

New York, if I look a little tired I promise the ten hours of miraculous sleep I managed last night will fix all that. Sleep is the best kept beauty secret and I know we all know but when you feel sleep deprived and then have the luxury of catching up, sleep’s importance is reinforced.

Last time we spoke beauty I mentioned a serum I found in my French pharmacy. I like it more and more for my skin care routine and especially when I am travelling.

Since then I have been using other products from their range and have to tell you I think I am onto something. They are excellent and while a miracle isn’t happening here, I do feel my skin is less dehydrated and more nourished, even without enough sleep.

I have been using a moisturising cream morning and night over the serum for several months and I love it. I like the texture, the faint scent and most of all I like the results. I can’t eradicate my wrinkles and nor do I mind them but I do like the skin feeling soft and plump.

I wish my skin was the only part of me that felt “plump” ;) Travel, especially to a city like New York where the food is so delicious, doesn’t diminish my waistline.

Mixing up our skincare products is necessary to achieve the most out of them; I will keep test driving these and let you know, xv.
