THE BENEFITS OF MULTI-MASKING WITH L’OCCITANE

L'Occitane peony mask

MULTI-MASKING WITH L'OCCITANE peony mask

I’ve been on seven flights in the past four weeks and my skin is feeling it right now!  Once I had a chance to touch down at home and have a day to myself–I decided it was time for some relaxation and a bit of pampering for my skin.

I just got back from a video shoot in Los Angeles and the makeup artist I was working with (she’s amazing, currently working on Shonda Rhimes shows!) commented on how my skin was a combination of dry and oily.  I always knew I had combination skin but I think my exposure to dry airplane air has put my skin into overdrive lately.  During the shoot she was applying moisturizing products to my dry spots and oil fighting products in different areas to keep my skin balanced and she got me thinking I was due for some multi-masking to help rebalance my skin.

I especially like mini or travel size products because as a beauty blogger I’m constantly trying new things, handing out samples to friends, etc so I like to have smaller versions of products to tote along in my carry on.  I gave the new L’Occitane Peony Mask Collection a try my for seriously needy skin and loved this ritual to bring my skin back.

I practice multi-masking at home but I don’t believe I’ve ever covered it on my blog before.  Multi-masking is using various types of face masks based on the different needs of our different parts of our face.  I generally have larger pores and oil congestion on my nose and cheeks, dryness on my hairline and perimeter of my face, and everywhere else just need a good dose of hydration.

L’OCCITANE PEONY FLASK MOISTURE MASK

I started with the L’Occitane Peony Flask Moisture Mask (these all smell amazing BTW…who doesn’t love the scent of peonies?!) and used a fan brush to apply it to my jaw line and neck for intense moisture that I could instantly feel absorbing into my skin.  I think my jaw line needs extra moisture because I can subconsciously rest my chin on my hand when I’m sitting at my laptop for hours on end.  The mask texture is creamy and rich and I love the velvety texture it instantly gives my skin.  These types of plumping and hydrating masks are my new favorites!

L’OCCITANE PEONY OVERNIGHT PERFECTING MASK

For my next step I grabbed another brush (my favorite way to apply masks, it makes me feel like I’m at a spa!) and opened up the L’Occitane Peony Overnight Perfecting Mask.  This mask is perfect for applying right before bedtime and letting it absorb into your skin overnight while your skin is most receptive to skincare and self-repair.  I knew I wanted to try this overnight mask on my forehead and hairline to help counteract my dryness.  The texture is gel-like and hydrating but not oily–so I could get it into my hairline without making my hair greasy, perfect for overnight wear and you can touch up your hair with dry shampoo in the morning.

L’OCCITANE PEONY PURIFYING MINUTE MASK

And the last mask I applied you only need to wear for three minutes–I’m going to be saving this one especially for spot treatments when I need to de-slick my skin before makeup application!  The L’Occitane Purifying Minute Mask specifically targets the oil shine and larger pores I have on my nose and cheeks to absorb and eliminate impurities.  As the mask dries, pores appear smaller (perfect for the perfect no-makeup day) and a more matte appearance.  I even had Matt asking to use the remaining purifying mask on his nose and cheeks too!

Once I had all of my masks applied, I popped a bottle of sparkling water, turned on a relaxing playlist and caught up on a few pages of a new book that I’m trying out.

L’OCCITANE PEONY PETAL CLEANSING OIL

Once I’m ready to remove my masks, I used the L’Occitane Peony Petal Cleansing Oil to remove the masks and also cleanse my skin for one final smoothing and glowing wash of peony.  I love the dried peony petals in the bottle–the flowers are from Provence!

Have you tried multi-masking? I’d love to hear about your experience trying different masks in different areas for your perfectly custom results!

    I never use masks but you have me sold on this one. I have combination skin too so this might be perfect for me. I love your bathroom and bathrobe.

    L’Occitane is one of my favorite brands and I haven’t tried the mask yet. I’ve been traveling so much that I feel like I can use some pampering.

    I have never tried multi-maski, but it makes sense. Different parts of your face need different kinds of attention.

    That is an awesome idea – multi-masking. I also have combination skin so I know this is the best care I can give my skin. I need to get those L’Occitane masks. Thanks for your honest review.

✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨ Three ✨ Harrison Finnley Michaels 12/8/2019 ✨
Three months with this little guy and our worlds are rocked. He’s gone from just opening his eyes to rolling over, pushing himself up, grabbing at toys (and my phone as I type this out). He loves to laugh and talk in his baby language all day long 🤣 and sleeps all through the night 🙌🏼 How did we get so blessed with him?! @kmichaels216
Wedding Bells 💍 We are finally diving into some Wedding Bells 💍
We are finally diving into some wedding planning after our engagement last year and not going to lie, it’s overwhelming! We are super laid back and are looking for something small to celebrate. For me, this day isn’t about a big, fancy dress, or hundreds of guests to entertain. It’s about spending time with Kevin and I together committing our lives to one another. I was recommended to check out @shutterfly’s The Wedding Shop and mocked up an invite in this beautiful botanical print perfectly personalized to us and our style. Love our custom candle (smells so good!) and champagne flutes too! Check out my stories for more behind the scenes of unpacking our wedding items and some close ups! #MyShutterfly (ad)
CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week? CATCHING UP, what do you have going on this week?
• This morning I had an eye exam to check my contacts / glasses Rx. I shared new glasses on Stories but turns out the Rx was wrong in them. I’m TRYING to wear my glasses more around the house and splurged on a pair from @ysl hoping that would help me do it 🤣🤓
• I haven’t been a big concealer wearer but I’ve been testing out the @urbandecaycosmetics naked concealer and have been liking how light it feels on my skin (I’m wearing it here, dress is new from @urbanoutfitters!)
• A work-related project this week—I’m trying to get my inbox of 700 emails down to zero. My problem is that I’ll get an email with some great piece of info in it and think “oh this is great! I can’t work on this right now but I’ll save for when I can” and I mark it unread. Well over time that has added up to 700 😬 I’m thinking of tackling it by sorting through and noting down whatever idea it is in my notebook (paper planner for LIFE! 📒) to reference it and have them all in one place. Maybe this will work!
• I’m currently sitting here watching this little baby sleep and the whole “I want to eat this baby” thing is SO REAL. What is it about babies where it makes us say that?!? He loves his @bibs_usa and @mushie_co!
• I’m considering cutting 3-4 inches from my hair....but here’s the kicker...I have this weird urge to DO IT MYSELF. Maybe I don’t want to put it off until I can get an appointment but I just want to cut it now. Please you guys, talk me out of doing this with scissors in the bathroom 🤣✂️
• Kevin and I have been binge watching @abcscandal and it’s SO ADDICTING. If you haven’t watched it, join us on Netflix but don’t blame me when you’re 2 episodes past your bedtime 😜 we are currently on season 4 of 7!
• WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS WEEK???
NEW MOM FASHION AND BEAUTY HACKS: 💁🏼‍♀️
1️⃣ Style your hair once ride that beautiful hair through the week with minimal effort. I use the @t3micro curling wand on day 1 fresh hair to put a little curl in it. On days 2-4 I use dry shampoo—my favorite is @livingproofinc to soak up oil, and then on days 5+ when dry shampoo doesn’t cut it anymore I throw on a cute beanie
2️⃣ Still trying to “bounce back” (whatever that means...) after baby? Same mama, same. @spanx leather-look leggings suck it all in and help as a postpartum support during healing. Win win!
3️⃣ Duster coats are the ONLY thing I want to wear. Not only do they keep you cozy as we wait for spring, but having pockets is NECESSARY for me. Phone in one, pacifier in another, and whatever other random things I need to bring with me when my arms are full with a baby
4️⃣ Lots of undereye concealer for that 8 hours of sleep look. @tartecosmetics shape tape is a favorite but I’ve been testing out @urbandecaycosmetics stay naked concealer and really like it for more natural coverage
MAMAS, WEIGH IN: What are you mom fashion and beauty hacks?! #newmomhacks
Our morning walk ritual ☺️ It’s still been a Our morning walk ritual ☺️
It’s still been a bit chilly out in the mornings but that doesn’t stop us from bundling up (in matching hats no less!) and going for a walk around our neighborhood. Baby carrying is a wonderful thing once you get the hang of it! I love how it gives you a bit of a workout with the added weight of a baby (Harrison is 11lbs now!) and gives them a chance to look around with a different view than the stroller. I can’t wait until he’s big enough to be front facing and then he can really look out at the world. I’ve been using the @nuna_usa @potterybarnkids CUDL carrier (this fabric is the broken arrow caviar) and my favorite feature are the magnetic clips that automatically snap into place to hold baby snugly. #lovemypbk
