Travel Skincare

 Tomorrow my boyfriend and I are going away on holiday, up to the hills in Victoria for a 5-day getaway. I am really looking forward to it because we never get time off together and when we do we’re usually not alone. That’s the catch of living at home I guess! Anyway, I thought I could share my travel skincare essentials.

Because it will be super cold up in the mountains my main skin issue to combat will be dryness and dehydration thanks to having the heater constantly blasting plus my usual cleanse and moisturise.

For removing the bulk of my makeup or just freshening up I will be using the Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes. These get the job done but aren’t really close to my heart. When it comes to wipes I pretty much use whatever as long as it has ok ingredients.

For cleansing I use my Clarisonic Mia (can’t live without it) with the Neutrogena Rapid Clear 2 in 1 Cleanser/Mask. I quite like this cleanser and think it works well with my Clarisonic but I would say it does leave my skin feeling a little bit tight which isn’t ideal. I would love to find another everyday cleanser to use with the Clarisonic. In my last haul I got a new cleanser so maybe that will be the one!

After I cleanse I like to use the Trilogy rosehip oil antioxidant +. I love using this at night because I can really feel the difference in the morning after I use it. Rosehip oil is a well-known skin savior and I don’t use this nearly as much as I should. Hopefully that will change soon! Just to be sure I have moisturized skin I also packed my new Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion to try out.

My two little extras are my Soap & Glory Hand Food which is always in my bag anyway, and just in case it takes my fancy I brought a mask, a classic; the Aesop Parsley Seed Cleansing Masque.

So that’s my skincare travel essentials. Next up I will tackle the makeup I will be bringing with me!

What are your travel skincare essentials?
