From professional treatment to personal treatment plan

As you know, I'm a fan of Skins Cosmetics in Amsterdam. I think that's because I When I think of Skins, the first thing I think of is the lovely fragrance my lover has custom-made there. In that lab-like setting of Labo, where they mix it themselves. Something you used to only see in cities like New York and Paris for years.
When the door of the treatment room overlooking the courtyard in the middle of the city closes, I can almost hear the birds whistling.
That lovely scent was the first reason for me to go to Skins in the Negen Straatjes to go. When I step inside, I know: this is going to be a pampering moment for myself. They sell the most beautiful beauty products. If I had the budget, I'd love to have them all in my bathroom :-). Because I travel a lot, I always have the Medkit B5 A serum that hydrates and softens your skin throughout the flight.

In addition to the store on the ground floor, Skins Cosmetics Amsterdam has a Runstraat There's also a salon on the first floor. As I close the door to the treatment room overlooking the courtyard in the heart of the city, I can almost hear the birds singing. In my mind, anyway. Eyes closed, and enjoying an hour-long facial.
I secretly like the slightly tingling sensation.
Because I'm now 30-something, traveling a lot for Your Little Black Book, and working practically all day, I've become much more aware in recent years of taking good care of my body. And, to be honest, that's not always easy. So I like to treat myself to a little helping hand sometimes, like a massage or a facial.

When it comes to facials, it really depends on your skin's needs. I've been doing more anti-aging treatments myself and regularly use a light peel. It's not painful, by the way. I secretly like the slight stinging sensation. You can really feel the products working!

During my treatment, I always get my eyebrows tinted, plucked, and trimmed. It's convenient, as it means I don't have to worry about them while traveling. Skins Cosmetics is one of the best salons in Amsterdam when it comes to personalized treatment plans. They also create many products specifically tailored to your skin and the issue being treated. This coming winter, I'd like to take things a step further with a more intensive facial peel. To keep my skin wrinkle-free and elastic for as long as possible. I think we all want that ;-)!
