The Hormonal Exorcism | Keep Calm & Have a Bath

Taking twenty minutes (or longer) to have a bath is one of my all time favourite activities. Facing burning hot water & then dipping your toes in (while screaming) is just half of the fun-when will I learn!? Anyway, yesterday I was feeling a bit annoyed, disgruntled, irritable, tired, insert more pissed off adjectives here & Aslan suggested I have a bath. No point arguing with the man, so I turned those taps, added some Neom Tranquility Bath Foam*, some bath oil and performed a hormonal exorcism on myself. What does that even mean? Well it's a phrase I have *JUST* made up relating to PMS and how I calm the hell down. For a few days out of the month I literally feel like some sort of demon has taken over my body and I don't want to do anything involving anyone. Perhaps I'm being a bit dramatic & obviously this is something that effects women differently, so I can only speak for myself when I say a bit of zen time is absolutely required. 

Of course breakouts are a'plenty right about now, so I pushed the rest of my skincare aside & busted out my favourite detoxifying mask, REN Invisible Pores Detox Mask& prayed it worked some magic. It makes my skin feel clean and reduces blemishes without drying my skin out too much. After rinsing, I like to apply a light moisturiser, such as the Caudalie Vinosource Moisturising Sorbet*. This is a great day cream, but I really like to put this on my skin after a mask because it's not too heavy, but provides just the right amount of moisture. It's a pretty cool mousse/cream consistency. And last but not least, some Nuxe Rêve de Miel to moisturise those lips!
