La Mer’s most coveted skincare heroes

A good skincare regime is about patience and consistency, but there are times when you just need a skincare edit that delivers results fast. For me, as someone who travels every few weeks, plus with the change of the season, I need my products to go above and beyond to soothe, renew, transform and comfort the look of my skin.

Flying can often leave me feeling jet-lagged and dehydrated, with the combination of cabin pressure, re-cycled air and low humidity to blame, but having skincare steps that I can fall back on pre-, post- and in-flight helps me to look and feel refreshed, whatever the time zone. To get that plumped, glowy, ‘I’ve had eight hours of sleep’ skin on touch down, moisturizing is key – you need to lock hydration into the skin during the flight. For deep moisture, I always go for Genaissance de la Mer The Infused Lotion, which is packed full of nourishing antioxidants that tackle dryness, dullness and dehydration in one hit.

While you can use Genaissance de la Mer The Infused Lotion on its own, I love to layer it with Genaissance de la Mer The Serum Essence on top, particularly in-flight. The luxe, velvety texture works to transform all manner of issues and, crucially for me, it helps my skin combat the visible signs of stress and keeps it looking its best throughout the trip.

When I’m tired, the first signs start to show under and around my eyes. I can’t run the risk of turning up to client meetings with puffy under-eyes, so I’m a huge fan of Genaissance de la Mer The Eye & Expression Cream, which has a cooling massage tool that works wonders on the delicate under-eye area. Even better, the product is multi-purpose and can be applied on other facial expression lines such as at the side of the mouth and on the forehead.

I always finish my skincare ritual with the original Crème de la Mer. I rub the Crème between my fingers until it’s warm and translucent and gently press into face and neck. At the heart of this iconic cream is La Mer’s famous Miracle Broth: a cocktail of nutrient-dense natural sea kelp, minerals and vitamins. When skin is looking lackluster, I’ll spend a few minutes firmly massaging into skin to kick-start circulation.
