These Inspiring Real Women Reveal Their First Beauty Memories
This excellent post is brought to you by La Mer.
We all remember the first beauty product we ever bought, or perhaps even the three-step regimen we used religiously growing up. These experiences often form one of the first real memories we have not just with beauty, but in taking care of our skin. Interestingly, though, it’s not until you start to recognise your key concerns, and begin to see the benefits that a comprehensive regimen can bring, that you realise that they are so much more than just a product. Skincare truly becomes an integral part of your daily routine, a ritual, and often remains with you during different stages of life, even through changes in your skin tone and texture.
With that in mind, we ask five influential females to tell us a little bit about themselves, their first experiences with beauty and skincare, and the products they can’t live without.
