I live in very high altitude mountain air, and spend so much of my time outdoors, hiking and snowshoeing especially. I was hoping to not look like leather in the high altutude sun and wind as I sail into my 40s. My old brand was not cutting it anymore. My skin had become dull and I already looked 40.

In just a month, I look so much better! I’d buy the Marine Cream for the smell alone! But my skin is so soft and glowy after just using the Marine Cream! Now with the Balanced Collection, I don’t have to worry about “too dry here, too oily there” anymore!

Thanks Maryann!! You are too kind!! Last month we had the birthday party of my son (he became 5 years old) and he had 9 friends at the same age in our house… I am honest, I was glad when the party was over ? So I just can imagine the power you need every day!
But you are right, every mother has stress… when you cannot remember the last night of 8 hours sleep (meanwhile I am happy with 5 h in total?) for exampel. So we all know the problem of avoiding the next mirror ?
Before I found Gen’s blog I did not know it would be time for inspiration…
She gave me the sign like “Hey Mama, no matter how much you love and adore your children- you are somebody as well who needs time and care for yourself!”
And with Elemis I take my time now and that ritual became even important to me.
My little Spa Time Out, that is what I call it ☺️
The cleansing balm, especially the texture of it… so soft, creamy and gentle. Just the perfect start. It is not very low in price, but the quality is so great!
I have seen Gen using the Luna for cleaning. So I shopped it. Wow!!
The Collagen Cream is a burner… After a few times of using, the skin is so full and lightning!!
I absolutely love it!!

Thank you Jasmin!! Please don’t be mad with yourself, it doesn’t matter if you have one child or 10, being a parent is a stressful job no matter what, as long as we have an appreciation and respect for all our fellow Mama’s out there we’re GOOD 🙂 Your stress is just as warranted as mine. I’m so happy Genevieve shared Elemis with us, I even made my sister try it out and she loves it as well. I find myself sneeking peaks of myself when i pass by amirror when before I avoided my reflection. This stuff is amazing and I love the smell of the Pro-Collagen Night cream

Maryann, you are amazing !!
I have “only” 2 kids and work every day, but I feel mad that I thought having stress while I am reading about your daily business!! We are at the same age, but I do not have that strength and power like you!
But one we have in common- GENEVIEVE also inspired me to do to something for myself! As a Mum you are always thinking of your Family. That is right, but it leaves almost zero space for Mom… So the First step is cosmetics (it takes not that long time). I also ordered the 3 products and they are phenomenal! The smell makes me smile Even for a couple of hours:-)
