I'm not one for expensive products. Especially beauty stuff. But today I embraced my 40s and bought a cleanser and moisturiser more suited to my age and changing skin type. Stress and terrible sleep patterns have contributed to my developing a mild form of Rosacea over the last year. It can mean that people think I'm flushed or blushing but the reddening of the skin on my cheeks may well prove to be something I wish for in old age when I'm pale and in search of a touch of rouge. Surely I should just be worrying about lines at my age!
This smells beautiful, has a built in SPF and I'm assured will help reduce red cheeked flare-ups. Personally the fact it's called Ole Henriksen was enough for me; although as the founder is Danish I'm fairly sure it's not pronounced with a Spanish accent. Coincidentally the beautician that served me was Spanish and her pronunciation of 'Rosacea' was delightful - ros-a-see-a.
It's also advisory to cut out caffeine, alcohol, hot showers/baths and get plenty of sleep. If they are the determining factors I may well be doomed. I'll have to wait and see.
Olé!
