Are you one of those people who is excellent at taking regular holidays?
You know, a week or so every couple of months. Always booking the next one before the tan and the memories fade. Never horribly over-tired and charging towards a psychological brick wall, like a battery-operated toy with no soul. I’m not.
And so I never look worse than the moment I arrive on holiday. I look in the mirror and ghoulish horror is reflected back; the green tinge of defeat. Of course, nothing exacerbates an exhausted complexion like flying, which dehydrates and contaminates with ruthless efficiency. But fresh from LA is a new treatment formulated to deal with travel-infused fatigue.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask is the best hydrating and nurturing cream I’ve used in as long as I can remember. I haven’t been travelling recently, but I have been spannered with tiredness and this nourishing cream is remarkable. Chestnut extract is a natural exfoliator to polish away lifelessness, vitamin C is a brightening antioxidant and moisture magnet, while niacinamide is a kind of superpower that noticeably reduces pores and lines. It made such a heart-warming difference to my skin that it simultaneously boosted my mood. One for hopeful travellers and valiant troopers everywhere.
