Recommend Beauty Essentials for The World Traveler

People always laugh when they see my travel beauty essentials, I always over-pack and travel with more beauty essentials than clothes.  Why? Because I can’t control the climate or how my skin is going to react to eating certain foods, water, pollution etc..

A woman after my heart is MariaCarla Boscano, the muse for Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy.  She travels with 6 cases of skincare for the same reason, we both realize that our skin is ever-changing.  Using the same skincare regimen isn’t the solution for healthy skin, especially while traveling.

I suffer from adult acne, hyperpigmentation scars and don’t always wake-up with glowing skin.  The weather and climate have a lot to do with how my skin reacts to skincare.  Being prepared is paramount.

Several of my favorite brands and pieces travel with me, these are the tried & true beauty essentials recommended for the world traveler.
