I never thought that it would happen to me.
Here I was away from Moon Haven, away from home and I had forgotten to pack my Anti Ageing Skin Care System AND my Moisture Cream with Rose Geranium.
In fact I had left everything at home... and I mean EVERYTHING!
So I thought- oh well... a few days wont hurt me using something else on my skin.
I couldn't have been more wrong!
So off I went down to a nearby pharmacy and picked up what i thought was a good quality as-natural-as-possible moisturiser and cleanser for sensitive, dry skin. They were a little pricey but I didn't want to compromise my skin for the sake of a few dollars.
Day 1
Using the acquired skincare was ok...my skin was reasonably hydrated when I woke up that first morning. The cleanser was adequate but it did leave my face feeling a little tight. I decided that I wouldn't use it again.
At the end of the day my face felt warm, dry and uncomfortable. It was pink in places and my rosacea was starting flare. I applied more moisturiser which relieved the dryness for a few hours...but it didn't last.
Days 2 and 3
I was constantly having to play moisturiser catch up with my skin.
and by Day 4
I knew that my skin was in trouble. I woke with a pimple above my eyebrow and a painfull lump developing at the corner of my mouth.
My skin was sensitised, warm to the touch and papery.
I was breaking out and my skin was stressed.
Thankfully, I was on my way home... and do you know what the first thing I did was?
Smothered my face with Bionutrient gel mixed with our Age defying serum. My skin soaked it up and started to relax... and even more importantly repair.
100% NO-RISK MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
Needless to say - the very first thing I will pack from now on is my skincare. I don't want to go through that trial ever again.
