My skincare routine has been all over the place but I tried to do my best when my husband and I were traveling the last week and a half. I did pretty good with my PM routine actually, and these are the products I ended up using. I'm thrilled I didn't pack too much more than this either!
I ended up using the sample size Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser almost every day for my AM and PM routines. I think this is a great fuss-free everyday cleanser, and I love using it when I'm not in the mood to deal with balms, oils or jellies. (#lazy!) It has a very light scent, and despite being a gel sort of cleanser, I don't find it to be drying or stripping at all.
I did use my Tatcha Polished Gentle Rice Enzyme Powder* a few times, which I was happy to have for the days I felt my skin could use a bit of exfoliation. I've talked about it before, but I just love this cleanser at any time of day.
In the morning after cleansing, I ended up using the travel size of Fresh Black Tea Age Delay Instant Infusion and Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum. Both worked well for my skin, although I don't think either one are "wow" products for me. The Fresh toner actually smelled like tea though, so that was fun for me. We'll see how I like it once I use it up! I've also shared my thoughts on how I find the Estee Lauder serum to be a workhorse serum here. (Aka nothing about it is exciting to me but it really does just work!) Lastly, I topped it all off with the Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen*, which I've been loving all summer.
At night, I kept it pretty simple after cleansing and just used my Belif First Aid Anti-Hangover Soothing Mask. I'm literally obsessed. Actually I did just repurchase a new one recently, and I still love it as much as I did when I first started using it. I did wish I had brought some sort of spot treatment, which I apparently forgot but really needed. Ugh! The other skincare items I brought were travel size masks which I didn't end up using cause I was lazy!
What do you think about my travel skincare routine? What skincare do you reach for when you travel?
These last two weeks in skincare have been an interesting one. I've been not great with doing my PM routines, but my skin seems to be doing okay with it. (Knock on wood.) I also totally failed to write down so many days, though I do promise I did some sort of skincare on all the days too. But probably terrible on the PM routines, haha! Oh well. That's life, right?
