Travel Skincare Tip: Keeping up appearances on holiday or How to ace your base in low humidity

April 15, 2019 Paris B 14 Comments

I know many of you travel, and cooler climes are always a favourite destination, to escape from our infernal tropical heat and humidity. But how often do you travel somewhere cool, and then find that your skincare isn’t holding up, or that your skin starts to flake and dry out and break out? Worst of all, this happens even after you return home!

Not only is it uncomfortable, your makeup doesn’t look good whether in person or in holiday snaps.

travel skincare low humidity cool climate

Well, I most recently went on such a holiday.

It was cold and windy, and the humidity was laughably in single digits. I knew my skin would suffer. So I made the necessary preparations, and I can happily report that after a week, the skin on my body was dry and itchy as heck! But the skin on my face was not only comfortable and near perfect, my makeup went on well and looked so natural and amazing too! Yes, I’m preening LOL! 😀

So here’s some tips you should keep in mind when you travel from the hot and humid tropics to a cool, low humidity destination, and the products that helped me.

Feeling a lot of love for The Herb Farm Hydrating Overnight Face Mask – better late than never!

April 1, 2019 Paris B 4 Comments

I’m such a slow-poke when it comes to featuring new things. It’s reached that stage where something has to be quite amazing (or horrible) for me to dedicate a whole post to it. Not being snobby, just being practical with my time and limited resources. If I could churn out a post everyday, I would!

Recently, I had the chance to meet with and speak to Sarah Cowan, Managing Director of New Zealand natural skincare brand, The Herb Farm. She mentioned that one of her favourite products was The Herb Farm Hydrating Overnight Face Mask, that kept her skin plumped and hydrated on her long flight from New Zealand. That is a full 11-13 hours flight, if anyone’s counting.

Something triggered my memory – I’d been generously sent a tub of this very product a while ago, but hadn’t yet tried it. And opportunely, I had a flight coming up, so I had the perfect opportunity to try it!

The Herb Farm Cleansers are lush, gentle and non-stripping on skin

February 18, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

I have veered away from using gel type cleansers these days, because they are, for the most part, too drying for my drier skin type. In fact, if your skin feels dry and tight every time you wash your face, I recommend that you switch away too.

That said, you cannot deny how refreshing a gel or foaming type cleanser feels. It just makes your skin feel cleaner! Psychological, but also a fact as the foam action does lift dirt and grease, and wash off better.

A while ago, I shared some gel cleansers I’d tried that I found to be non-drying and therefore suitable for those who prefer using a gel type cleanser but want something more gentle that does not strip the skin.

What d’ya know? I’ve found another! 😀 More interestingly, I find myself preferring the gel cleanser over the cream cleanser – and that’s no mean feat!

My present Skincare Routine : The products don’t matter the routine does

January 16, 2019 Paris B 16 Comments

One of my most requested posts is my current skincare routine. I think the last time I posted one, it was back in 2017! I had good intentions then, to share my routine each month, but it didn’t pan out as I planned.

I too enjoy seeing what other people are using in their skincare routine, so I can understand the interest (I do short videos on Instagram Stories showing my almost daily day-night routine in real-time, if anyone’s interested). But there’s also something a little unhealthy I’ve noticed, that I’d like to address.

skincare routine 2019

Let me share first, my skincare routine thus far for 2019. Rather, this is what I’ve been using through 2018 and into 2019. What you may notice is that my routine and steps do not change. It is only the products that do.

And that is something I want you to hold in mind, as we run through my current skincare routine 🙂

First discovered Lotion P50 over 7 years ago in Pa First discovered Lotion P50 over 7 years ago in Paris. It was incredibly hard to get hold of it in Malaysia at the time. Fast forward 7 years and countless bottles later it’s now easily available at the Ambassade Biologique Recherche at Starhill @biologique_recherche_kl (contact them and ask and they can even send stuff to you if you don’t have the time to go down town)
