All The Beauty Products You Need To Pack For Your Upcoming Summer Vacay

While crossing borders is something we look forward to every year, it does take a toll on our skin. Not only will we be exposed to a different type of climate, but the dehydrating cabin air and general stressors from travelling can cause sudden breakouts and increased sensitivity. So if you have an upcoming summer getaway next month, it’s important to pack the right types of products to ensure your complexion stays well taken care of.

It’s crucial to only pack what’s important (and not everything from your vanity) so only the products you know works best gets the go-ahead. Below is our edit of the must-have skincare and makeup products for your upcoming summer vacation.

#1: Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets, $3.95

These cleansing wipes are super travel-friendly (you can even bring it on board your flight, unlike say, a bottle of cleansing oil) and come in a pack of 10. With an updated formula, these now contain a lightweight smooth cleansing oil to remove tough, waterproof mascara and eliminate any rough tugging of the delicate eye area. It is also infused with a hydrating beauty essence to replenish moisture in the skin without leaving it feeling sticky.

#2: Chanel La Mousse Cleansing Cream-to-Foam, $64

Cleansing is a step you should never skip in your routine even when you’re away. After an entire day out in the sun and being exposed to harmful airborne pollutants, your skin needs to be stripped off all the dirt and impurities. This is our current favourite cleanser as it is made with a blend of two marine active ingredients known as depolluting blue micro-algae, which protect cells from micro-stress generated by pollution and fortifying marine salicornia extract to self-regulate water and strengthen and hydrate skin.

#3: Hera Cell Essence, $80

This melts quickly into the skin and should be used as the first step to nourish and increase the absorption of other skincare products that follow. The star ingredient is the brand’s Cell-Bio Fluid Sync 2.0, a body fluid-mimicking solution containing eight skin activators to hydrate and boost radiance for a clear, flawless and luminous complexion.

#4: Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, $75

image

This star performer has topped many travel beauty must pack lists. Usable as an overnight sleeping mask or moisturiser to strengthen skin’s moisture barrier and improve the look of fine lines, flakiness and tightness from dehydration. It also features an exclusive Auto-Replenishing Technology that instantly boosts skin’s hydration, while helping skin activate its own internal water source to deliver non-stop skin-plumping hydration.

#5: Laneige Perfect Renew Eye Serum, $65

image

The skin around our peepers are extra sensitive and the first to show signs of ageing. This new gel-type eye serum is formulated with ginger water, which is known to repair damaged cells and enhance skin’s elasticity and lavender water to prevent dehydration and improve skin’s resilience to dryness.

#6: Anessa Whitening UV Sunscreen Gel SPF 50+PA++++, $32.90

image

Never skip out on applying sunscreen, especially in hot, humid climates. Opt for a lightweight one like this new Anessa sunblock. It also features a gel-texture that is said to be water and sweat-proof. It is formulated with 50 per cent skincare ingredients including the brand’s Super Hyaluronic Acid, glycerin and collagen to hydrate and protect skin against sun damage and ageing. Additionally, it’s formulated with a unique brightening essence that helps to suppress melanin production to slow down and prevent the formation of dark spots.

#7: Diorskin Forever Perfect Cushion, $78

image

A cushion compact is definitely our go-to choice of base makeup when travelling. This gets our vote as it gives great coverage (it’s the best out of the brand’s three cushion compacts) and feels weightless on the skin. It even has a Colour-Lock Technology to ensure oxidation does not occur. Bonus: it reportedly lasts for up to 16 hours.

#8: Kat Von D Signature Brow Precision Pencil, $31, Sephora

image

Eyebrows help to frame and shape our face. This comes with an ultra skinny tip, ideal for drawing hair-like strokes for natural-looking eyebrows. The longlasting formula also softens when in contact with the natural oils of your brow hair.

#9: Three Atmospheric Definition Mascara, $55

image

Mascara-wise, always choose one that’s water and smudge-proof (unless you want to look like a panda). Available in brown and black, this features a waterproof and sweat-resistant formula that helps to elongate, lengthen and curl lashes.

#10: Supergoop! Invincible Setting Powder, $45, Sephora

image

You really don’t want your makeup to melt off halfway through the day so we recommend using a setting powder. This Supergoop! portable powder comes in a sleek and compact packaging and contains ceramide 3, a lipid found naturally in the skin, to retain moisture while acting as a protective barrier against harmful environmental stressors. Olive glycerides work with the ceramides to protect and nourish. It is even made with zinc oxide sunscreen actives to deliver UV protection that’s even suitable for those with sensitive skin.

#11: Mamonde Creamy Tint Squeeze Lip, $18

image

With a moisture-rich and smooth texture (created by the brand’s proprietary Cooling Grinding technology), this tint glides easily onto your lips. It is made with 28 per cent of the brand’s Rose Water (which can be found in its popular Rose Water Toner) to hydrate and fill in fine lines. It also gives a refreshing and cooling sensation once applied, with a slight rose scent that’s not too overpowering.
