Travel Skincare Routine ~ What To Pack!

I’m really into anti-aging skincare and I love my skincare routine! But, I use 11 products a day to keep my skin looking it’s best and that’s a lot to take on a trip! In today’s post I’ll show you how I pack my skincare when I check my bag and when I carry-on.

I have to admit that I don’t carry-on much because my sunscreen takes up it’s own quart bag, but in a pinch I can squeeze what I need into the quart size bag!!

Hi Angie, I was looking at the store for travel sized skincare and saw a travel micellar water. What are your thoughts on micellar waters? Are they safe to use and do they really work? Also,
I’m going to Savannah GA in June so I’m trying to figure out what minimal makeup would you take besides sunscreen for a vacation?

  Hi Shelly~ I always take too much when I travel but I’ve been trying to take less lately. Here’s the link to a recent video on how I pare down my skincare routine: https://www.hotandflashy.com/travel-skincare-routine-what-to-pack/ (I can’t remember if I included makeup but I think I did). I’m not a big fan of micellar waters, I’ve tried a few but didn’t think they worked that well. Have a great trip! I’ve always wanted to visit Savannah!! xo `angie

Do you have any tips for long haul flights?

I usually cleanse just before I board, then apply toner and squalene and Hyalaluronic acid, and I reapply those three every few hours. But I’m not sure if layering in-flight without cleansing cuts back on how effective they are? This strategy is working okay on the hydration front, but my skin is often a bit puffy and irritated by landing.

A lot of people recommend a mild mask for the entire flight, and adding another layer of the mask every few hours. Do you think the mask strategy is reasonable, and do you have a favorite, mostly transparent, mask?

  Hi Lisa~ I don’t really take long-haul flights (longest I’ve done is 8-10 hours) but even on those, I didn’t really do anything special for my skin. I just try to get as much sleep as I can and drink as much water as I can. I’ve never even brought a mask or serum on the plane with me so I may not be the best person for this question. In general, I don’t think you need to wash your face every few hours as that will contribute to drying. I think putting on a soothing, moisturizing serum or creamy moisturizer with glycerin, Shea butter, and/or hyaluronic acid but without fragrant botanicals, citrus oils, or acids would help you to stay more hydrated without irritation. Personally, I wouldn’t be comfortable putting on a mask on a plane unless I was in one of those first class pods. Have you tried the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask? I just got it and it seems to be a nice moisturizer with ceramides and niacin amide. My only complaint is that it contains peppermint & orange peel oils. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Angie-
I see that buying the Timeless Vitamin C serum is much cheaper on Amazon than on the Timeless website. I am nervous about purchasing serums and sunscreens that are on sale. If they are old they can lose effectiveness. Do you have any thoughts on this? Am I worrying too much?

Timeless List Price: $24.95
Amazon Price: $15.48

Thank you for your thoughts,

Jordan

  Hi Jordan~ You’re not worrying too much! I like to save money just as much as the next guy but I only buy my Timeless Vitamin C serum from Timeless website. On Amazon it can be older which means it’ll oxidize sooner which will cost you more in the long run. Use my discount code for $5 off at http://www.timelessha.com, it’s hf5off

  Jordan sorry for a late response, but just as a FYI the last 2 times I purchased the Timeless vitamin C serum from Amazon it was perfect. Came very clear and stayed that way just as long as the purchase from Timeless Web page.

hi Angie,

I have question on using the serum. I would like to know if that we can blend them together and apply at once?

example like i apply timeless vit c then i put few drop CQ10 blend with 1-2 drop matrixyl serum + 1 drop squalene oil then apply to whole face?

i just want to know if we can blend 2 serum together and apply at once. like timeless CQ10 + timeless vit c?

  You can mix serums that aren’t pH dependent, so CoQ10, Matriyl, squalene. But acids like Vitamin C & lactic acid should be applied separately to maintain their effective pH.

I get all frazzled about leaving products sitting in my travel bag between trips. I travel by plane maybe 4-6 times a year (live in the UK) so things could be sitting in the bag for months at a time. How do you deal with this?

  Hi mimibelle! –
  
  I’m with you!!! I have the same problem. What do we do with products sitting in travel containers between trips. We’ll see what Angie says, but I usually try to use them up first when I return. But then it takes longer to “refill” for the next trip. Products do expire so sitting in bags for long periods is a waste. It is a problem!!!! 🙂 Hopefully Angie will have a good answer! LOL

  Most basic toiletries have a shelf life of 12-24 months so it’s fine for them to sit in your bag for a few months between trips.

Perfect timing for me Angie, I leave Feb 1 for a girls weekend and I’ve been agonizing over what to take. I’d forgotten I have the philosophy turbo C. For future, I’m keeping my eyes open for those Sephora point size products and getting some of the mini’s they are now carrying.
