In-Flight Skincare

  

I am going on holiday very, very soon (2 days to be exact! Can I get a woop woop?!) and as promised in my previous post which you can read here this is my skincare which I am taking on my flight with me! Long story short I did have more pictures for this post but for some reason I am unable to rotate them so one will just have to make do! In my last post on my holiday toiletries I introduced you to my toiletries bag which came in a set of 3, this is the smallest one and houses my in-flight skincare items. First up is Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Day Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin 50ml. I would never normally opt for a rich moisturiser but seeing as I am going to be on a plane for 10 hours I think its wise to use something that will really keep my skin moist and prevent it from drying out. I love Nivea and all their products I have used are amazing for my skin so I have no doubt this moisturiser will be any different. Next up we have a teeny tiny bottle of Bioderma Micelle Solution 100ml (link) which is so cute! I will obviously use this to cleanse my skin before I moisturise; I will plan on doing this a couple of times in the flight just to keep my skin refreshed & soft. I decided on picking up some Simple Kind to Eyes Eye Make-up Remover Pads (link). I am not usually one to use make up wipes but instead of wasting my tiny Bioderma on my eyes aswell I figured I could just use that for my face and use these wipes specifically for my eyes! There is 30 pads in this tiny pack which I thought was quite good value for money. The next item is an obvious one... Aloe Vera Disinfectant Hand Gel (link) just because there are lots of germs on planes and being on a plane for a long amount of time I am going to want to keep my hands nice & clean & free from bacteria! Lastly, but not least, waiting in the queue to pay I spotted the Maybelline Baby Lips (link) - I picked up Pink Punch. I am yet to try as you can see it is still in its packet but after reading so many good reviews about them I am in no worries that it will be a lovely lip balm with a hint of colour for the evenings of my holiday. 

I am guessing this will be my last post before I jet off to paradise Monday morning so I will be back in two weeks time! Have a lovely weekend.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O - Micelle Solution

I finally jumped on the #bbloggers bandwagon and purchased a 250ml of Bioderma! After hearing everyone rave about it I decided to banish the face wipes and take the plunge. I have been using this now for about two weeks and I looove it. Why did I never try it sooner I keep asking myself?!

 

Bioderma is aimed at cleansing normal to dry & sensitive skin which is moi here, my skin is ridiculously dry & sensitive. I was a bit wary at first about using something like this in case it dried my skin out even more. Its a mild micellar water cleanser and make up remover, impurities are removed from the skin using micelles which maintain the skins balance. I picked up some of the bigger double sided oval face pads from Boots because I don't really like using the little ones much on my face and I just soak the side you use for your face and then I remove my face make up. I carry on using as many face pads to remove my make up until they have no dirt on them; usually only takes a couple as its hot so I haven't been wearing much make up but also, the pads are huge so its easy to do your whole face with one. I then rinse my face with a wet flannel as recommended. Bioderma is alcohol free so it soothes and cools any skin irritation and redness on the face - I don't have much of this but it is amazingly cooling and really refreshing. In this hot weather I've actually just been using it to cool down! Some added ingredients prevent irritation and make the skin feel really refreshed, clean and free from make up - even water proof mascara.

 

I picked this up from Escentual a few weeks back when they had a 1/3 off offer on, I think I got it for about £6.50. They do have a 20% offer going on at the moment so its worth checking it out if you are keen to try this. I definitely recommend it if you haven't tried it yet because it is just amazing!
