Why I love French pharmacies

As you may have seen on Instagram and Facebook, I took an excursion to Paris last week, where I spent ample time wandering through what might be my favourite type of store: pharmacies.  Please note, I wasn’t there for medication.  I was there on a skincare and beauty mission. 

Transitioning to a new season

Have you awakened this morning with the same feeling I had?  How can it be September 1st?  Didn't summer just begin last week?  How did we get here so quickly?  Autumn is around the corner, whether we’re ready for it or not.  (Full disclosure: I am currently maximising my summer.  As you read this, I am finishing up my beach holiday, taking in as much Vitamin D as I can – with proper sun protection, obviously!)

Why water should always be your first beverage of choice

Recently, I had a conversation with a client about cleansing and hydrating waters for the skin (see my post on micellar and thermal waters if you want to learn more).  This segued into the importance of internal hydration and I realised how many client consultations reveal that we aren’t always reaching the goal of consuming 2 litres per day.
