When Clinque’s Executive Director of Research and Development Worldwide (translation : skin expert) Dr Tom Mammone was invited to visit Australia, his first stop was Palm Cove, Cairns. Luckily I was invited along with 11other beauty editors to share the experience.
It’s not everyday you can get ‘alone time’ with such an expert, so I made the most of my half-hour interview. As distracting as it was staying at the lovely Peppers resort, I still managed to quiz Dr Mammone on all things skin related.
I’ll save most of it to use in relevant skincare stories, but to give you a taste:
Q: The best anti-aging ingredient available over the counter?
A: “Vitamin A will give the best results.”
Q Best preventative action you can take?
A: “Start wearing Superdefence SPF 25”.”
I’m sure everyone does this already, right?
Next stop was the Great Barrier Reef for a guided snorkelling tour with a marine biologist followed by a tranquil semi-submerged submarine trip and for the brave, a helicopter joy ride. The Great Barrier Reef is incredible - what a privilege to have seen it up close. Thank you Clinique!
Here are some happy snaps for your viewing pleasure:
