The best kept secret in a woman’s suitcase?

As every woman knows, travelling and more poignantly packing in those essentials to meet the demands of business travel and social dinner attire can be tiresome and leaves one in trepidation as Spring approaches and the winter wardrobe consisting of wooly jumpers and knits is substituted with blouses and lighter fabrics.

Every woman’s dilemma is at the forefront of her mind as she ponders in pain at what to pack. Small wonders like sticking to the same colours, layering and recalling the miracles that accessories can provide is one consolation, however longer days and warmer nights call for lighter clothing and our figures post Winter represents a bluey grey/white residue we would much rather hide under the benefits of a winter wardrobe of excessive camouflage gear saving us our grace! Summer should be an inspiration for holidays, BBQ’s, picnics and the outside – a perfect excuse to peruse the new fashion pages of the tabloids and buy a few fashionable neon coloured pieces to transform something dreary with a bold colour or two.

However, if you like many women dread the thought of revealing a more vulnerable physique with pasty white legs, bat wing arms and a neck to resemble a turkey, look no more, help is immediately at hand with a quick fix from the legendary, Dermatologist, Dr Nick Lowe and his revolutionizing range of skincare products at hand. His philosophy of Protect, Prevent & Repair is reassuring. His newest skincare range available from Boots the Chemist is his Neck & Decollete Firming Cream. This instantly penetrated cream tightens the delicate area around the neck and chest and is the best I’ve tried so far. At £29.99 it’s a luxury well worth the pennies and a perfect accompaniment in any suitcase along with more daring and tantalizing summer pieces.
