5 Things Friday: The Holiday Special
My essential holiday skin savers, a new jewellery brand and a daily perk up for when you get home!
One way to deal with creases
I have a great steamer which I highly recommend for travel and home, but I have occasionally forgotten it or left it behind if I was packing light. Something I never forget though are my hair straighteners… the holiday frizz is real! Straighteners have the added bonus of being a great mini iron too. The collar of a shirt, a waistband tie, or the ruffle on your dress, can all be quickly smoothed out as demonstrated here.
Three summer skin recommendations.
On holiday, my skin usually needs a little extra pampering and I never leave home without this cleansing balm and my favourite face mask. At home I use Elemis and Dermalogica for my everyday routine but if you’re looking for a great soothing cleanser, that travels well (no spilled liquids) and is inexpensive (no tears if you accidentally leave it in your hotel room), then this is amazing! For some extra night-time rehydration, my face mask is something I never leave behind. Packed with replenishing vitamins, it provides a soothing remedy to sun parched skin. It is definitely worth every penny and it lasts for ages. Top tip: apply a thin layer and sleep in it, you’ll wake up with skin as smooth as a baby.
Lastly, sun protection is obviously a must but finding one that suits your face can be tricky. I’ve tried a few and some can definitely bring you out in spots! My Korean skincare experts (the daughters) all swear by this and I definitely agree. It says it’s a gel but actually it’s the consistency of a cream.
