Meet Marie Faure-Ambroise, founder of My Travel Dreams

Mom of 3 and head of her own digital strategy consultancy, Marie is also a very (very) big travel fan. So, in parallel, she founded her website My Travel Dreams a little nugget of information on how to travel the world, off the beaten track. But that's not all!

 
"I think the skin is the true mirror of what we feel and what we experience."

Tell us about your skin... 

I have rather combination skin that's quite dehydrated in winter. And after the months we've all been through, my skin was pretty dull and sad. 

Your routine? 

In the morning, it's pretty quick because I have 3 children and a small business... I'll take my time more in the evening, especially with the double cleansing with Baume Démaquillant Oh My Cream Skincare (which I love with its oatmeal and coconut scent) and Cleansing Gel Susanne Kaufmann. Once the skin has been cleansed, I tackle the dead cells to make it new skin. When I'm away for the weekend with my children, I always take along the Exfoliating Powder Oh My Cream Skincare Exfoliating Powder in travel size. At home, I use Ready Steady Glow lotion. Ren Clean Skincare, with a reusable cotton pad to restore my radiance. My real moisturizing darling before bed is Hyaluron Serum . Susanne Kaufmann which I dab onto my face. And if my skin is still dry after all that, I use Pommade Hervé Herau.

Your 3 gems beauty? 

My first is Joe Malone's Basil & Neroli Cologne. I put it on before I go to bed, in the morning too, and I spritz it all over the tribe! When we go on a trip, it's the same perfume for everyone! It smells like baby... I've also been usingEgyptian Magic balm ever since, which is suitable for the whole family, all the time. If you're going on vacation, after the sun, the sea or the mountains, it nourishes all skin types and fragile areas, and lasts forever. And finally, Evoleom ampoules: they remind me a little of my mom in the 80s, who had to take vitamin C! I use the Radiance range with hyaluronic acid. 

The final word? 

I was a journalist for 15 years, so I was lucky enough to test millions of products from lots of wonderful brands. In short, I changed my routine 1,000 times! But finally, with time (and perhaps maturity too), I've been able to find basic, simple products that make my skin much more beautiful. So I think that in the end, there's nothing like looking for good basics for yourself and sticking to them for a little while.
