When it comes to packing for a trip I’m definitely one of those people who want to bring everything with me, just incase it’s needed! Mike, on the other hand, likes to pack lightly and not check a bag for only a weekend away (understandable, I suppose). I’ve been trying to get better at not overpacking and feel I’ve really nailed it with my skincare products. Let’s just say that when I give Mike not one, not two, but three toiletry bags to stuff into a suitcase he’s less than thrilled!
So now I only bring the essentials:
Brightening Facial Oil: One of my favorites and definitely not staying home while I’m away. After washing my face this is the first thing I use. It’s lightweight, makes my skin silky smooth and gives a nice radiance boost! Plus it smells fabulous.
Tinted moisturizer with SPF 20: This is a must. It makes me look put together instantly even though I’m just rubbing some lotion on my face. I love that it has SPF in it so I can go on with my day (and if we’re traveling that usually means exploring outdoors) and don’t have to worry about getting burnt.
Deodorant: The only natural and safer deodorant that actually works for me. This definitely makes it’s way into my suitcase! My faves are Geranium, Charcoal and the Lavender. Use code “CAITM10” at checkout for 10% off your order!
Evening moisturizer: Although I usually use this sleeping cream, I bring this along on a trip instead because I find the bottle easier to travel with. If I’m not using the tinted moisturizer I’ll apply this cream in the morning after the facial oil (listed above) and I use it in the evenings after washing my face. It’s a lightweight lotion that provides moisture for up to 24 hours and even adjusts hydration levels throughout the day based upon your skin’s needs. How cool is that?
Lip balm: You didn’t think I’d leave the house without lip balm, did you? I never go anywhere without it! I also travel with my sheer lipstick which is super moisturizing and adds a bit of color.
