Editor's Picks: Your Travel Must-Haves for the Holidays
Shu Uemura Tsuya Skin Youthful Crystal Transparency Lotion
This lightweight cosmetic water is absorbed quickly to give skin more suppleness and softness; and giiiiirl when I say it’s absorbed quickly, I mean quicker than fast. Serums and moisturizers glide and sink into skin much faster on me after the application of this miracle water, because it feels like t fixes my skin texture too. On travels, I transfer it into a small spray bottle so it’s easier to carry around, and great for a spritz on the go for instant hydration.
Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender Shea Moisturizing Hand Therapy
Being locked in an airplane cabin for hours on end is not great for your skin at all. Aesthetician Renee Rouleau conducted a little experiment on a flight and found that it took a mere 24 minutes for a small patch of water on a cotton t-shirt to completely dry, whereas it took the same patch of water 1 hour 27 minutes to do the same at sea level. So while it’s great that you’re slapping on moisturizer to keep the skin on your face at its hydrated best, don’t forget about the skin on your body! For my hands, I it make a habit to regularly moisturize them with this shea butter and macadamia nut oil-rich formula in this non-greasy cream. The soothing lavender scent is the divine cherry on top!
Mavala Nail Polish Remover Pads
During a backpack trip once, my travel buddy had the nerve to call me a diva for wearing glittery nail polish during a long, hot, sweaty, grimy backpack trip in Southeast Asia. First off, never let a man tell you when and when not to be wearing nail polish! Wear all the nail polish you want! Second, When your nail polish starts chipping on the road, clean up with these acetone-free cotton nail polish remover pads. One tub contains 30 pads, enough to keep your talons looking great during your travels.
