En Route
A must have for long flights and dry hotel rooms. Keeps my under eyes from getting crepey and I also use on my cheeks and the tops of my hands. Even works over makeup.
The Serum Stick
A multitasking powerhouse. Overnight or on a long haul flight, this is great on lips, cuticles, and in any dry or patchy areas.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
Travel is tough on skin and hydration is our first line of defense. Liquid I.V. helps me drink more water and helps my skin stay hydrated.
Liquid I.V. Sugar-Free Mango Pineapple
Morning Routine
I have tried a million facial cleansers and always make my way back to this one. Rich foamy lather that isn't stripping. Love the travel size for trips.
Kiehl’s Travel Size Ultra Facial Cleanser
Vitamin C capsules that fit in a pill case and make my morning routine easy and carry-on friendly. Each capsule gives one dose of a velvety soft Vitamin C serum, perfect for post cleanse in the morning.
Neostrata Vitamin C Concentrate Capsules
Luxurious feel, not too heavy or too light. Three pumps after my Vitamin C and my skin is plumped and perfectly moisturized.
Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer
With a gel-like texture, this is a heavy hitter at SPF 50, but perfect for under makeup (skip the primer). Comes in a great travel size and won't leave you sticky or shiny.
Unseen Sunscreen SPF 50
A lightweight daily lotion that delivers great hydration. The oat helps lock in moisture and its gentle for my sensitive skin.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Lotion
Night Routine
A mini size of this rich and effective cleansing balm is the perfect first cleanse for us double-cleanse girls. A little goes a long way.
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm
Great in your pill case and an easy dose of retinol they doesn't count against your TSA liquid count. Potent but great texture that I apply right before bedtime.
Neutrogena Retinol Face Serum Capsules
A holy grail at home and away. A must for me post-retinol and any time I have any irritation, redness or persnickety skin.
