5 Skincare Products I’m Packing for LondonFor the next 7 Weeks your girl is living in London! I’m sharing my travel beauty products and tips. Let’s start with some skincare products I made sure to pack with me. You’ll want to pack skincare products that keep your skin balanced, hydrated, and protected, especially given the city’s often cool, damp, and occasionally polluted air. Here are five skincare essentials to take:
1. Hydrating CleanserWith London’s weather and potential pollution, a gentle yet effective cleanser is crucial to keep your skin clean without stripping it of moisture. Opt for a hydrating cleanser that also addresses pollutants. Recommended: CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or Fresh Soy Face Cleanser. 2. Hydrating Serum with Hyaluronic AcidA hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid will help lock in moisture, especially since London’s chilly air can sometimes cause dryness. It’s lightweight and works well under makeup. Recommended: The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 or Vichy Minéral 89. 3. Daily Moisturizer with SPFEven in cloudy or rainy weather, your skin needs protection from UV rays. Choose a lightweight but hydrating moisturizer with broad-spectrum SPF to combat both dryness and sun damage. Recommended: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream with SPF 30 or Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40. 4. Anti-Pollution Face MistLondon air can be slightly polluted, so packing an anti-pollution face mist will help refresh and protect your skin while on the go. A hydrating mist will also keep your skin looking dewy throughout the day. Recommended: Caudalie Beauty Elixir or Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray. 5. Night Cream or Sleeping MaskAfter a long day of exploring, rejuvenate your skin with a rich night cream or sleeping mask to help repair any damage and replenish moisture overnight. Recommended: Laneige Water Sleeping Mask or Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask. These products will keep your skin feeling hydrated, protected, and refreshed while visiting/living in London.
