It’s kind of like the first few things you grab to pack must be the ones you can’t live without, right? So here’s some skincare that I packed for my trip.
Vichy has a new sunscreen out and the texture is truly like a serum. It’s just moisturizing enough and has a glowy finish. I like that it’s super light and has a serum-like consistency but I do wish these facial sunscreens came in larger bottles. Makeup layered well with it and I used it daily. My bottle isn’t finished yet, and I’m still using it now that I’m back.
I grabbed my Tatcha vitamin C serum. This is what I use first thing in the morning after cleansing. It’s light but if you put on too much, you’ll find it pulls so one pump is plenty.
Trinny London sent me this BFF de-stress tinted moisturizer. It’s the perfect match for my skin and forgiving. They say to apply it before sunscreen like a moisturizer but if I do that, I find myself tempted to skip the sunscreen altogether so apply like normal makeup. Yes, that means that I’m using it more like a foundation and less like a moisturizer but I like the level of coverage. I didn’t find it lasted the whole day, but it lasted through dinner and that’s just what I needed.
Also! I used the Trinny London Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides on this trip. I used it more for some hydration at night time, this is a very light serum. Honestly, I probably didn’t need to bring it but here we are. It was probably one of the last things I grabbed, I could have done without it, but I did use it while I was there.
Avene milk cleanser is my makeup remover. This cleanser is a bit greasy but that makes it perfect for taking off makeup. I used it at night before cleansing more thoroughly with the hotel hand wash, and then again in the morning on a cotton pad.
Finally, Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream. Never leave home without it. It’s a more rich moisturizer that layers with everything. Super dry skins will find that they need something more, but my combination skin likes it just fine.
