How I Keep my Skin Glowing all Vacation Long



When I’m on vacation I may take it easy but that doesn’t mean my skincare regime gets to too. In fact, I tend to care even more how I look on vacation because I know I’ll be spending more than half the time in front of the camera. But even if that wasn’t the case, I would never let my skincare regime slide on vacay because as relaxing as we would all like to imagine travel to be it can be tiring on the body and it shows up first on the skin. Think long haul flights, late nights, too many drinks at the poolside bar… it can literally wreak havoc on your skin. I’m constantly on the hunt for products that make my skin glow no matter the conditions and stress I’m putting it through. I’m talking skin that radiates health, looks flawless, and of course turns heads. The kind of skin that never looks tired and has people begging to know what you do to get that glow.

Enter BL’EAU Beauty, the brand new Canadian made skincare line with an amazing selection of Glacial Oceanic clay masks that will do just that. I brought BL’EAU’s Glacial Oceanic Clay Masks with me on my recent trip to Florida and I can hands down say they’re the reason my skin looked it’s best all vacation long and I will 100% be packing the BL’EAU Glacial Oceanic Clay Mask with me on every trip I go on from now on. Applying this mask twice a week kept my skin looking radiant the whole trip no matter how many pina coladas I might have had by the pool the day before or how many hours of sleep I lost from getting up before sunrise for shoots. BL’EAU kept my skin looking like I had just had a facial the whole time I was gone and it’s now officially on my list of travel skincare musts to keep my glowing all vacation long. Plus it doesn’t hurt that it’s such an easy addition to any skincare routine that only takes 5-10 minutes twice a week!

BL’EAU Organic Glacial Oceanic Clay Mask

Detox, Rehydrate & Repair

I’m just going to start by saying that overall I love how soft all of BL’EAU Glacial Oceanic Clay masks are. I’m always a little iffy when it comes to clay masks because I find some of them harden too much and have to be scrubbed so hard to get off that I end up looking like a tomato by the time I get the mask off. BL’EAU Glacial Oceanic Clay Masks are much softer on the skin and was so easy to wash off after. I absolutely love the Organic Glacial Oceanic Clay Mask which comes in a beautiful turquoise jar making it oh so instagrammable

Beyond the packaging (which got an A+ from me) I really loved the mask overall. Created to detox, rehydrate and repair, the Organic Glacial Oceanic Clay mask is natural, organic, and the perfect gentler (and safer!) option for a clay mask. The ingredient list includes (beyond the Clay) organic Aloe and organic coconut oil so it leaves your skin feeling moisturized from within. This mask was hands down my favourite and I’ve continued to use it a couple of times a week. It leaves my skin feeling super supple, hydrated and gives it a radiant glow. I apply this mask to my cleansed skin twice a week and let it sit for 5-10 mins before rinsing it off. Unlike many other clay masks this one doesn’t fully harden so it’s much easier to wipe off and much more gentle on the skin. The result is radiant skin with minimized pores and a flawless and radiant complexion.



Transcend Collection

If you’re looking to target a specific issue BL’EAU also has their Transcend line which features 3 different masks that have more targeted results. The Illuminating Seaweed Clay Mask clarifies, brightens and balances. It helps to brighten skin, resulting in a natural, glowing complexion. This one is especially good to use after a long cocktail fuelled night when your skin is lacking it’s usual lustre. The Nourishing Spirulina Clay Mask hydrates, replenishes and calms. This mask is perfect after a day where you maybe got a little too much sun and soaked in the salt water for just a little too long. It will leave you feeling rehydrated and will calm any redness or irritation. Lastly the Revitalizing Algae Clay Mask tightens, renews, and restores. This one is a great overall addition to your skincare regime if you are particularly trying to target signs of ageing and maintaining a youthful glow. BL’EAU truly has a mask for everything and whether you want to target a specific issue or get an overall glow there’s a BL’EAU mask for you.

I can say with confidence that the BL’EAU Glacial Oceanic Clay Masks are some of the best at home Clay Masks I’ve ever used. I love how gentle but effective they are, and of course I can’t help loving that they’re Canadian made too. Just by simply applying the Organic Mask twice a week and leaving it on for 5-10 mins had my skin looking radiant for the duration of my trip even though my skin was getting tons of sun, not enough sleep, and a little more dehydrating cocktails than it’s use to. I will forever travel with my BL’EAU Beauty Glacial Oceanic Clay Mask and once you try it out for yourself I know you will too!
