A few days ago I wrote a post about the products I took on holiday to Japan: what I used on the plane, what skincare I took with me, what make up I chose, and a few bits I bought to use straight away. This post is a follow on from that post and covers the ultimate rosacea travel tips – going beyond beauty and delving into trigger management, how to prepare, and how your mindset can help.
For those who don’t know, I spent most of May in Japan. It was my third trip and Aaron’s fifth and we are already trying to work out when we can go back. Obviously we love the food, the culture, the people, the architecture, but for me, another highlight is the beauty shopping. I’m planning a few posts about the exciting things I got while I was there, but today’s post is about my holiday skincare and make up: the products I took, the ones I used up, and the products I bought and put on my face immediately.
As we speak I am on holiday, visiting my parents in France. I say ‘holiday’, but when you’re a freelancer it can be very difficult to switch off so I’ve still got my nose in my laptop for most of the day while I’m here. The only difference is that there’s a dog at my feet and lots of free wine… which is pretty much the dream! Anyway, enough rambling – are you ready for some Friday Faves?
As soon as we arrived in Japan three years ago, we were already talking about our next visit. We both just fell in love with everything about it. And at the start of 2018, we got to go back for three incredible weeks. There were a few things that were different about this holiday (we had more confidence in speaking Japanese, we visited fewer typically touristy areas, etc) but the biggest change for me was my diet. Since I last visited I’ve become a lot stricter with what I eat and when I mentioned this on Instagram, lots of people asked me how I survived a holiday in Japan with food intolerances. Ask and you shall receive!
