As the EB team write this article, we are surrounded by the dapples of light from the bay window in the office, and the lush green of the surrounding trees. It makes us want to take a big gulp of fresh air and store this beautiful Summer’s day in our memory, as we will no doubt yearn for it as the chilly Autumn days set in.
With warmer Summer days come languishing long evenings dining alfresco, and our diaries are punctuated with time away in the Cotswolds or Cornwall, and long weekends exploring the offerings of the Mediterranean.
Some people enjoy the tranquillity of the digital detox that likely comes with travelling away for a weekend (or longer!) and find it a relaxing experience – an opportunity to read that new book or catch that movie they’ve been meaning to see for a while. Others of us find it a necessary evil and brace ourselves for the ‘are we nearly there yet?’ boredom that is likely to set in after an hour or so.
Whichever of the two camps that you fall into, and whether your preferred (or obligatory) mode of transport is an aeroplane, car or train, it’s likely that your skincare woes will be similar – hours spent in a small, confined space with air conditioning. Skin feeling like it needs a deep cleanse and a gulp of hydration all at the same time.
Some skincare enthusiasts use aeroplanes as an opportunity to whip out their favourite sheet mask and sit back and relax, others could think of nothing worse than having people stare over whilst we pop on a ghostly mask, and swap this stage out for a quick spritz of hydrating spray.
Whichever camp you fall into, let’s explore some skincare saviours from Biologique Recherche for before, during and after your trip.
