If you’ve been following along on my Instagram Stories, you know that the travel and event calendar is back in full swing, with my time split between sunny South Florida and the non-stop energy of New York City. The hustle of bouncing from one meeting to the next, tackling photoshoots, and juggling PR events is exhilarating, but it comes with a price—and that price is often reflected in my skin.
The relentless pace can easily leave me feeling drained, and, to be honest, I don’t always notice it until I catch my reflection in the mirror. Suddenly, I’m wishing for a big red “reset” button to hit and reclaim my glow. But here’s the truth: I (and you) can reset at any time—no button required.
The Invisible Toll of Stress and Lifestyle
No matter where life takes me, there’s one constant: stress. Whether it’s the deadlines, constant travel, or the bright city lights, things like sun exposure, pollution, and lack of sleep can sneak up on me, affecting my skin in ways that are hard to ignore. It’s like my skin is a mirror of my busy lifestyle—dull, tired, and looking a little more lifeless than I’d like.
As much as I’m committed to my skincare routine, there are times when I just need an extra boost. I love products that integrate seamlessly into my routine and fit into my hectic lifestyle. I don’t need more complications, just results. And that’s where L’Occitane’s Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum has come in to save the day (and my skin).
The Overnight Miracle: Resetting My Skin While I Sleep
What I love about this product is exactly what its name promises: reset. This isn’t just any serum—this one works overnight. It’s a simple, yet incredibly effective concept: while you sleep, your skin does a reset, waking up rejuvenated, hydrated, and more radiant.
I’m all about products that don’t require me to spend too much time fiddling with multiple steps. So when I first applied a pea-sized drop of the Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum to my dry skin before bed, I didn’t expect an overnight miracle—but that’s exactly what I got.
By the time I woke up, my skin felt hydrated and my complexion looked brighter, almost as if I had slept for an extra few hours. And the real test came when I had an early 7 AM call-time. My skin was ready—flawless and glowing, as if it had already been prepped and primed for the day. #NoFilterNeeded
My Morning Skin Ritual: Ice Cubes, Coffee, and a Touch of Reset
While my skin is soaking up the benefits of the overnight serum, my morning routine has a few tricks to further keep my skin looking fresh and firm. One thing I swear by is rubbing two ice cubes on my face for an instant firming effect. It might sound a little strange, but trust me, it works wonders. A quick ice massage while standing in front of the AC is my little hack to get my skin awake and tight, perfect for the busy day ahead.
And, of course, what’s a morning without a strong cup of black coffee? Coffee is packed with antioxidants that help fight inflammation, making it the perfect companion to my skincare routine. It’s the ultimate energy boost for both my body and my skin.
Now, add L’Occitane’s water cleanser and moisture prep to the mix, and I’ve got an AM routine that sets me up for a day full of productivity, without worrying about my skin looking like it’s been through the wringer.
L’Occitane: My Day-One Brand
I’ve been using L’Occitane since the early days of my blog in 2014. Back then, their Divine Crème was my go-to, especially because I have normal to dry skin. It was love at first application, and it’s no surprise that my relationship with L’Occitane has only deepened over the years. I feel like they truly understand the rhythm of my life—busy, non-stop, but always in need of some self-care.
Now, with their Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum, I’ve found a product that fits perfectly into my routine, helping me bounce back from long hours and chaotic schedules. It’s like the brand intuitively knows my skin’s needs, delivering effective, luxurious results without requiring me to spend hours on my skincare regimen.
A Reset for Your Skin and Mind
What I’ve learned from these products—and from the pace of my own life—is that taking the time to invest in the right skincare products is key. Even when my schedule feels like it’s moving at lightning speed, I can still find moments of calm for my skin. The best part? I don’t have to compromise on quality.
The Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum has truly been my game-changer, giving me that much-needed reset while I sleep. Whether you’re a busy professional, a globetrotter, or just someone who needs a little extra TLC, this serum is the secret to waking up with skin that’s not just refreshed, but truly rejuvenated.

A well-rested complexion is achievable, even if the rest of you is burning the candle at both ends. With L’Occitane’s Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-In-Serum, you can embrace the hustle without letting it show on your face.
