Travel skincare: Japan

 One thing I don’t risk getting wrong while I’m on vacation is skincare. I love testing out new products but when it comes to being out of town for more than just a weekend, I like to stick to products I know work. One less thing to worry about! These four items were just haves during my recent trip to Japan.

For cleansing I brought the Amore Pacific Foaming cleanser. Since Japan seemed a little more polluted than a tropical getaway, I opted for a cleanser that would do a thorough cleanse every night. As the name suggests, it’s a foaming cleanser, but it feels luxurious on the skin? It doesn’t strip the oils from my face like most foaming cleansers do. And it removes all of my makeup so I always feel super clean after. 

Next I brought my Kora Organics oil, this was a no brainer. Perfect for layering before and after our 12 hour plane rides. The travel size is perfect too. I even mixed it in with some of my body lotion when I needed a little more hydration.

I brought two different moisturizers, one for morning, one for night. For mornings, I brought my current moisturizer,  the Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream. I like to bring whatever moisturizer I’m currently using, then I just depot it into one of these travel jars I picked up from Amazon. They’re the perfect size for travel, and I like that I can put in as much or as little as I need.

Lastly I brought my Summer Friday’s Jet Lag mask. I love that this doubles as a mask and a night time moisturizer. Love a good two in one product! Perfect for using on the plane, mid flight when you need a little hydration, but perfect for night time too. Would definitely repurchase this product. Smells amazing too!
