My Travel Skincare Routine


Packing travel makeup is hard, but packing skincare is even harder in my opinion! I am a total skincare addict and if there’s one thing I love more than anything it’s whipping out all of my lotions and potions for a good old at-home facial. That being said, I’m trying realllly hard not to be an over-packer (still need a lot of work with that) so I tried to pack the basic products that I need for everyday that can also be multi-purpose.

By Terry Cellularose Cleanser
I wanted to bring a cleanser that I could use in the morning as well as the evening, so a cream/balm cleanser was the answer to my prayers. It’s hydrating, but not too heavy and smells so luxurious. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin, but it’s also excellent at removing makeup in the evening. Read my overview of the new By Terry collection here.

Boscia Balancing Facial Tonic
I’ve spoken about this facial tonic many times before, but for some reason misting my face with some sort of tonic is a step I refuse to skip. It calms down the redness I can sometimes get in the morning and I think it locks in extra hydration when I apply my serum directly over top. This one in particular has a very nice mist to it in case any of you are fellow misters!

The Body Shop Aloe Protectant Serum
I’ve gone back to using the Aloe serum because it’s super hydrating, but it’s not greasy at all. I always get dry skin when I travel, but I also tend to get breakouts so it’s a fine line as to what products suit my skin. I apply this stuff by the bucket load (not really) morning and evening.

Boscia Oil-Free Daily Hydration SPF15
I’ve been loving light-weight day creams lately! This one in particular is a great base for makeup as it sinks into the skin almost instantly. It’s got little to no scent, comes in a slim and handy tube and is fantastic. I love Boscia products because they’re not super glitzy, but they pack a punch.

REN Rosa Centifolia 3-in-1 Cleansing Water
I actually brought along two cleansing waters, but I finished up the Bioderma first and have now moved onto the one by REN. A few things to note: smells beautiful (roses!), removes makeup really well, but it stings my eyes like no other. Is that just me? It’s such a shame because it’s super effective, but it makes removing my eye makeup a bit tricky.

Clarisonic Mia2
I’ve gone running back to the Clarisonic after straying for over a year. I forgot how much greatness one little electronic beauty tool can do. In one use it completely transformed the texture of my skin and since using it 3 times a week for about a month I’ve noticed serious results. It has made my skin brighter and helped a lot with stubborn bumps on my skin. I’m never leaving it again!

Boscia Oil-Free Nightly Hydration
This is the nighttime version of my daycream that I spoke about above. It’s a bit richer so it provides the extra hyration I like at nighttime, but I never feel like it’s clogging my pores or sitting on top of the skin. Really wonderfull stuff if you’re skin isn’t super dry. I also brought along a sample of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream that I apply to any dry patches.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
The Ultra Repair Cream is a great multi-purpose product that can be used on your body as well as your face. I’ve mostly been using this on my arms to tackle my eczema, but once a week I’ve been using it almost as a hydration mask which has worked really well. I’d highly recommend this stuff and it will be great as the weather starts to cool down.

I’ve been really happy with my skincare routine lately and I’ve managed to master it all in under 5 minutes!
