Sleepless Beauty

I never thought I'd say it, but I miss waking up to an alarm clock, even that damn beeping sound is kinder to my ears than son 1 or 2 crying to let me know they're awake. You just can't press snooze on a child! And if like me, there's always a million and one things to do once you've put them to bed and that inner promise to be tucked up in bed by 10pm is just a dream.

With my skin as dry as a bone, my body physically exhausted and my mind full of clutter and to-do's, I turn to my best friend, my beauty cupboard- a stack of lotions, potions, makeup and perfumes that make me feel 'normal', well as normal as a mum-of-two can feel! The answer comes in a silver tube labelled Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque. Slap it on before bed, then rinse off when you wake. With the words 'power' and 'recovery' on the label, it ticks all the right boxes for my glowing complexion. Surely, it's not a crime to look like your coping, even if your not?
