Last month was a huge milestone for me - I went on my first ever international press trip. Aka giant free holiday after years of blogging and writing. I can tell you that the perks of Lifestyle blogging don't come as often as beauty blogging but when they do, they are PERKY AF. Time to become a travel blogger? PIVOT.

FACE VALUE TRAVEL BLOG? My first press trip to Sardinia
Nothing signals natural beauty like smooth, glowing, even skin. But even skintone can be hard to achieve in this world. The stress of 'living it large' or even just your day job can trigger acne, inflammation and spots. And exposure to the sun without sunscreen (even in this grey cloudy weather!) leaves skin open to UV damage, permanent dark marks and other irregular blemishes.
I don't know about you guys but every time I get a spot, a dark mark gets left behind once the spot has gone. Its like the inconsiderate pimple has been camping on my face and then left a patch of mud and debris there upon departure. And the grass doesn't grow back for ages, so I'm left with a dark mark for months! Do any of you get this too??
This darkening of the skin occurs more frequently in asian, arabic and darker skin types and is known as hyperpigmentation.
Here's the science part... Hyper Pigmentation occurs when the skin produces too much melanin (the coloured pigment in hair and skin) This often occurs after some sort of trauma - like spots, skin damage, medication or UV exposure - and the over-production of melanin darkens the area.

The Hyperpigmentation Clinic pretty much does what it says! Providing a range of skin-tone correcting services including facials, peels and products, I visited The Hyperpigmentation Clinic this week for a Lightenex Facial....

A Bright, Even Skintone from The Hyperpigmentation Clinic
I love wintery weather, especially going for walks (short ones) in the crisp, fresh air. But the cold wreaks absolute havoc on my skin - biting, harsh wind outside and then cosy but dehydrating central heating. Boo.
The results? Dull skin, partial to a bit of dryness, in need of protection and moisture. S.O.S- SAVE OUR SKINS!
Well since you ask...

How?
Moisturisers are VITAL for keeping your skin hydrated. Its in the name, duhh.
To skip moisturiser is a beauty sin - it helps seal water within the layers of the epidermis (posh word for 'skin' that I learnt in Year 10 Biology) and when your skin is hydrated, it is plump! It is radiant! It is HAPPY.
But moisturiser is not just for dry skin - even oily skin needs a moisturiser.
Honestly! Skin can have excess oil but still be dehydrated - an oil-free moisturiser is best in this case. (Trust me, a couple of years ago I had more volcanoes on my face than the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and now, after a good oil-free skincare routine, I am freeee!)
But what do I use now?
