Elevated Staples
These are elevated skincare staples I truly love and use — not just for the name, but because they work. I reach for these when my skin needs extra hydration, barrier support, or that polished, healthy look.
This melts away sunscreen and makeup pain-free. I usually swipe this on first in the shower or at the sink to remove makeup and so that my skin feels soft and not dry before I even start the rest of my routine.
Rose de Mai Cleansing Balm
My go-to gentle cleanser — it lifts makeup and impurities without stripping my skin, even after long travel days. Keeps my face clean and calm without any tightness. And the exfoliation is so gentle yet still effective!
Rice and Geranium Foaming Exfoliating Cleanser
I love this toner because it balances and refines without irritation — perfect when my skin feels off from flights or jet lag.
Purifying and Exfoliating Phytoactive 4-in-1 Toner
Hydration without heaviness — this serum helps plump my skin and keep it looking fresh between flights, long layovers, or short sleep.
Bio Lifting Serum+ | Moisturizing & Hydrating
One of the only moisturizers that actually feels rich and supportive after flying. It doesn’t pill under makeup and keeps dryness at bay.
Rose de Mai Cream
Adds that extra layer of barrier protection — worth it on dry travel days or when I want my skin to look dewy without greasy residue.
I either add it on throughout the day or mix it with my moisturizer.
Rose de Mai Face Oil
Perfect for when my eyes look tired after flying; cooling and hydrating without feeling sticky or cakey under makeup.
Rose de Mai Eye Lift | Cooling Eye Serum
If I could pick only one thing from my skincare routine to keep, IT WOULD BE THIS. As a dry-skin girly, this is LIFE-CHANGING. A re-buy every time. It actually soothes irritated, travel-stressed skin. I pop it on after long flights and my skin feels ...
Jasmine and Lily Calming Mask
Instant refresh between flights — hydrates right away and helps makeup sit better after air cabin dryness.
Pure Rosewater & Refreshing Face Mist
Travel + Affordable
Travel-friendly and budget-conscious options I trust — easy to pack, easy to use, and perfect for maintaining hydrated skin on the go.
A reliable travel starter — washes off the day without drying and feels clean in every climate.
Holy Hydration! Daily Cleanser
Light but effective — great for mornings when I want hydration without heaviness under SPF or makeup.
Holy Hydration! Daily Hydration Face Moisturizer
Perfect “sleep balm” for my face. I use this at night so my skin actually feels nourished and not tight the next morning. I can still feel the hydration throughout the next day. Love love love this.
Holy Hydration! Nourishing Night Cream
Simple, effective, and doesn’t irritate — keeps my under-eyes from looking parched after red eyes.
Holy Hydration! Eye Cream
Multipurpose balm I use on dry patches, lips, or even cuticles. Great space-saver in a carry-on.
Prep & Hydrate Balm
Travel-friendly versions of hydration basics that actually make my skin feel supported on and off flights.
Jet Set Hydration Kit | Travel Size Skincare Set
Quick reset mask — helps me feel less “travel weary” and gives my skin a real moisture boost without extra steps.
Cloud Mask
