From France to Tahoe: Why I Keep Reaching for SIV Serum
Travel has a way of throwing your skin off balance. Long flights, new climates, different water, even the joy (and stress) of being on the move - it can all leave your skin feeling parched and reactive. On my recent trip to France, I made sure to pack one little bottle that became my constant companion: SIV serum.
SIV in France: My Travel Companion
Every morning and evening, no matter what city I was in, I reached for SIV. It quickly became my ritual - the one consistent thing I could count on when everything else was new. The texture felt light yet nourishing, and after long train rides or days walking cobblestone streets, it was like giving my skin a gut shot, the good kind.
The biggest thing I noticed? My skin stayed calm and resilient. No post-flight tightness, no flakiness, no flare-ups from environmental stress. Even after full days outdoors, my barrier felt strong and supported. It made traveling so much easier because I didn’t have to overthink or pack a dozen different products - SIV did the heavy lifting.
Why I Love It
Back home, I realized why I kept reaching for SIV abroad: it feels so good. The application is smooth, it absorbs beautifully, and there’s something about the way it cushions my skin that feels both restorative and protective. It’s simple and effective - no complicated steps, just results. To me, it’s like giving my skin a soft, protective hug every time I use it.
Bringing It Home to Tahoe
Since coming back to high altitude, SIV hasn’t left my counter. It’s become a daily staple in my routine, especially in our dry mountain air where skin constantly battles sun exposure and lack of moisture. I find myself especially grateful for it during transitions - as we lean into fall’s crisp air, look ahead to winter’s dryness, and have even grabbed it after a peel when my skin craves recovery.
At altitude, barrier support is everything. And SIV has become my go-to for keeping my skin strong and comfortable, no matter the season.
Why I Recommend It
If I had to sum it up in one thought: SIV makes my skin feel resilient. Whether I’m traveling abroad or exploring in the high-altitude sun of Tahoe, I know my barrier is supported. That’s why I recommend it to anyone who wants a serum that works hard but feels gentle - especially if you travel, live in a dry climate, or want a daily boost for stronger, healthier skin. to me, SIV is skincare that not only heals, but supports and corrects.
In my treatment room, siv is in my backbar for every service. every single one. post-sugaring, post-dermaplaning, post-peel. it gives back to the skin to provide accelerated results.
Your Turn to Try It
I always say: the best products are the ones that make your skin feel cared for in both big and small moments. For me, SIV is one of those. If you’re curious, ask me about it at your next facial - or stop by the studio to experience it for yourself. Your skin will thank you.
