HOTEL PAMPER PARTY
After a two hour study session in Anna’s hotel room we all decided to treat ourselves to a little skincare pampering session. We threw on our hotel dressing gowns, tied up our hair and myself and Patricia went along with a flow whilst Anna gave us a full run through of her aeroplane skin recovery routine.
So first up was eye makeup remover, Anna used Clarins’ Instant Eye Makeup remover for her waterproof mascara and we used Bioderma, both on a cotton pad. Eye makeup removed, it was then onto cleanser and I couldn’t wait to be reunited with a creamy cleanser… *not to self, never travel again without one*. Taking some of Anna’s decanted Radical Hydrating Cleanser we massaged it all over the skin before removing it with a warm flannel. Next up was the Omorovicza Queen of Hungary mist, something I’ve wanted to try for a while (cheers Anna!). It’s a Neroli and Rose scented face mist that’s really purifying and hydrating, the spray is a little intense so we used our hands to press it onto the skin. To inject some much needed hydration into the skin we then used Hydraluron as a serum, it contains hyaluronic acid so it’s really effective.
We all felt like our skin had really suffered from the long haul flight so we added in an extra step and used a generous amount of Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. This is something Anna picked up from Sephora and using it made me get one too. It’s not something I’d use in the day as it is very oily, but for night it works incredibly well. We didn’t stop there… oh no, that’s not our style! We then used the Omorovicza night cream to lock in all the moisture and it really did, I definitely need to try some more products from this brand. To finish the session we used the Pai eye cream around the delicate part of the eye that had also become very dehydrated.
The whole process didn’t actually take that long, not as long as it took to type out, but it was worth it because our skin felt great and we all woke up the next day glowing! I’ve been really lazy with my skincare routine recently and this completely inspired me to get back on it and reminded me that taking time out to really look after your skin makes all the difference. Thanks Anna for hosting such a great pamper party… same time next week?
