Spring
has definitely sprung
and its wedding season again. Top-end boutiques are
all sporting Mother-Of-The-Bride outfits in their windows
and delicate shades of pink, lemon and baby blue are
all around us. And although our usual choices of perfume
these days tend to be sophisticated, head fragrances,
the perfume houses all agree that brides almost always
choose to wear a floral fragrance on their wedding day.
After all, what could be more romantic and princess-like
than a delicate rose or gardenia fragrance - so clean
and pure and perfect for the occasion. Be careful with
florals though - synthetic florals can be quite 'sour'
smelling, especially rose, so look for one that contains
pure blends of rose oil. |

For
the whole experience, try L'Occitanes Rose Riennes
range which blends the oils from four difference
regions and truly does smell like a fresh bouquet
of roses. Treat yourself to the soap, shower gel,
body lotion and eau de parfum for an all over
experience - perfect for bridesmaid gifts too,
L'Occitane provide a free gift wrapping service
of beautiful quality.
Or for an unusual ladies table-favour, pop one
of their tiny soaps into an organza pouch, perhaps
with a few dried rose petals, to remind your guests
of the bride's fragrance. |

If
you're planning an early holiday
abroad this year don't forget to adjust your skin routine
accordingly.
In the UK we are still having some unsettled weather
and windy conditions which will mean that you may still
be using a 'winter quality' moisturiser - especially
if you have a drier skin. But this will probably prove
to be too heavy in a hotter climate and could cause
breakouts.

Warmer
weather does not mean you should do without a moisturiser
though as your skin will still need hydration. Go for
something that's a little lighter in texture to prevent
clogging pores - cream gels, a combination of light
cream with a gel - like formula are ideal for holiday
use as they absorb easily yet still provide the hydration
that the skin needs.
Try L'Oreal for these as they have some lovely formulas.
And a soothing freshener is a must for hot weather -
Liz Earles instant boost freshener is calming and gentle
and comes in fabulous 'spritz' version too. |
