When this Elemis travel collection dropped onto my doormat one morning, I was so relieved! Just two weeks after our Wedding, we jetted off to Paphos, Cyprus for my cousin’s wedding. As I’m half Cypriot and still have strong ties in Cyprus – we turned the holiday into a bit of a familymoon before my little one started school and my cousin’s big day. After spending months pampering my skin before my big day, I was a little nervous about having 10 days in 32c+ heat and then trying to look good as a bridesmaid! My skin at 33 isn’t what it used to be and I noticed that if it’s too dry or sunburnt, then foundation just doesn’t stick to the skin…
There was no chance that I was going to stay out of the sun altogether and my hat just kept blowing off in the wind! So I made sure that I kept applying a good facial suncream, donned a pair of shades and spent 10 glorious days on the beach before my cousin’s wedding! We did have one day that my family treated us to a night in a beautiful hotel where I totally chilled out in a Jacuzzi with a facemask, eyemask and champagne – heaven!
Each morning and night, I used the Elemis travel collection cellular recovery skin bliss capsules before putting on the Elemis pro-collagen day an night creams. These little award-winning bad boys seriously kept my skin in shape! Little droplets of anti-oxidant facial oils work to repair any damage to the skin as well as improve the visible signs of ageing. The ultra-rich Elemis travel collection day cream is perfect for giving your skin the nourishment it needs – especially on holiday. I found the Elemis oxygenating night cream so cooling on sun-blasted skin and kept my skin from drying out through the night. Check out the full Elemis travel collection here.
We had our luxurious hotel night just a couple of days before the Wedding and so I used this chance to use the Elemis pro-collagen hydra gel masks and oh my gosh are they amazing! These award-winning little slivers of magic instantly hydrate, tighten and smooth the area under the eyes leaving you feeling totally refreshed. Just a few dabs of the Elemis travel collection pro radiance illuminating eye balm and my skin looked and felt even better than before I went on holiday! I felt ready for the bridal party pre-wedding selfie ; )
It was such a wonderful wedding and I’m so happy for my cousin and her hubby – it was the most perfect day! Big thanks to Elemis for sending me your wonderful travel pack and for reminding me that even as a busy Mum, I can still make time to pamper myself too!
