Skin

A few weeks ago, in the dead of harsh, wet and grey winter, I made the mistake of looking at myself in the mirror. 

I noticed my skin, dull, kind of grey and colourless like that winter sky. My skin has aged. I'm aging. It's a harsh reality made harsher in the winter light.

I desperately pulled out all those unused face masks. I bought fancy (read expensive) night serum and a morning 'refresh' spray. I used products that contained the word blur or plump.

I don't know if it's disappointing or relieving that they actually worked. 

Did I prefer my clean routine of barely paying any attention to it? Yes. But do I now feel better about my aging skin? Double yes.

Some of my current favourites: 

Trinny London - Overnight Sensation retinal serum & Miracle Blur lip and line filler

Smashbox - Photo Finish blur primer

Jones Road - Miracle Balm
