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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
