Touchdown and you have arrived at your holiday destination. Millions of things are running in your mind; the places you want to visit, your outfits for every day, your make-up and hair for each of these outfits and shopping!
In the midst of all this frenzy happening in our mind, we sometimes forget to refresh our skin from the long-haul flight. By now, you should have already prepped your skin with the in-flight essentials. These essentials would have left your skin clean and moisturized from the packed atmosphere of the plane. All you need to do now is refresh your skin after your plane ride and let your skin, body and soul all enjoy the holidays.
Smashbox – Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light Travel Size
I don’t know about you, but I always like to stay camera-ready from the moment I enter my holiday destination’s airport. You never know who you might meet, or you miss a perfect photo spot just because you weren’t camera ready. This is why Smashbox’s Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light has always been my travel buddy and it has proven to have many benefits; number one being its sleek tube for perfect dispensing which is travel safe and friendly.
It is formulated with vitamins and antioxidants and can be worn alone or with a foundation. Since you will be applying it after your flight, we recommend that you apply it alone and let it give you a natural and glowing look.
The primer has oil absorbers which gives a renewed look by minimizing the appearance of imperfections. It gives a smooth matte finish for the entire day, so even if you just apply only this primer for your entire trip, you will be forever photo ready and will see a flawless result.
bareMinerals – Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30
You must have noticed, most of the time after a flight, your complexion turns two tones darker and appears to be so dull that it looks like you haven’t washed your face in days. If you know what I am talking about, then you definitely need this rescue gel from bareMinerals which gives on-the-go coverage anywhere and anytime.
This gel is a multi-tasker solution; BB formula, CC formula and tinted moisturizer are all blended in this one tube, which also saves you from the hassle of carrying three different creams separately.
Why is it ideal after a flight, you wonder? Because it has marine botanicals that boost hydration in your skin which was deprived of basic nutrients because of in-flight atmosphere.
It comes in 10 shades which gives a wide spectrum to match it with your skin. The mineral-based gel gives a smooth and soft finish with a radiant glow and leaves your skin with a dewy sheer to medium coverage. Its mineralized ingredients make it perfect for the skin as it is healthy, non-comedogenic and silicone, oil and parabens free. Not only do you get all day long natural and light coverage but also nutrients for your skin.
