How to Achieve a Calmer Mind and Glowing Skin in Just 60 Seconds

Life’s been crazy. You’ve been going non-stop, and it’s all starting to catch up with you. With your mind and thoughts constantly racing, struggling to switch off, your skin’s showing signs of fatigue and one too many late nights. 

You need a break - a moment to give both your skin and mind some well-deserved rest and recuperation. Does that sound eerily familiar? I’ve mentioned before that I love using my skincare as a window into my mental health. 

 Taking time each day for some much-needed self-care is crucial. 

Combining mindfulness practice with your skincare routine makes it so much easier to carve out time in your day to check in with yourself, allowing you to nurture and nourish your skin and soul simultaneously.

Making this part of your skincare routine significantly boosts your chances of actually fitting it in. Rather than following a strict schedule of twenty minutes a day or five times a week, this doesn’t need to be a big undertaking or commitment. And there’s something empowering about this more low-maintenance, everyday approach to mindfulness.

It’s why I’m so thrilled to see Erno Laszlo release their incredible VTM Micro-Essence - the newest member of the VTM family. This is the perfect pairing for those mindful, skin-care moments we can all benefit so greatly from, and I can’t wait to share why I love it so much already!

VTM Micro-Essence

A restorative essence lotion, Erno Laszlo’s VTM Micro-Essence is brilliant for boosting radiance, energizing and purifying your skin. It keeps you looking and feeling your best, having been shown to improve skin tone and texture over time.

Its microfluidic technology means there are thousands of encapsulated oil droplets floating in the clear gel. As soon as the product touches your skin, the release of meadowfoam and raspberry oil gives you the cool rush of weightless hydration alongside the nourishment of an oil serum. 

Other ingredients include Madonna Lily for balancing aging and uneven skin that’s been damaged by UV rays, marine extract to perfect pores and reduce texture, and a multi-mineral complex for rejuvenating tired skin.
