We're thick in the middle Summer and if you’re planning adventures near and far, you’ll need to include a skincare packing list in your plans.

Let’s take a look at products that will promote healthy and glowing skin this summer.

Must Have #1: Sunscreen

By this point we all know how the sun's rays can permanently and irreversibly damage your skin. So if you're going to be taking even one step outside you must have a broad spectrum sunscreen at the ready!

We're very particular with sunscreens: they must protect against UVA and UVB rays and just as importantly not leave a oily sheen or feel "heavy" on the skin. We love the Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ from Japan which checks off on both these criteria. It's also super affordable.

Must Have #2: Moisturizer

After a long day on the road and in the air, once you settle in at your home away from home it's doubly important to hydrate your skin. The time you spend sleeping (for a full eight hours, hopefully ;) should never be wasted.

Use your slumber time to take care of your skin, and there's no better way to hydrate your face than using our face moisturizing cream with hyaluronic acid and vitamin c.

The silky smooth cream feels light on the skin with no sticky after feel. Moisturize, sooth, and repair your skin while you sleep... a perfect end to your traveling day.

Must Have #3: "Feel Good" Facial Mist

We were recently walking Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum in Rome, and while it was wonderful soaking in the rich history of Caesar it was less fun soaking in our own sweat under the Mediterranean sun!

That's why our Rose Gold Facial Mist will be your BFF this summer it works magic on the skin to help you feel refreshed and hydrated.

Simply spritz a little on your face when your skin needs a little pick-me-up, and the nano-active gold flakes blends into your skin for a subtle shimmer that everyone's going to envy ;)

Must Have #4: an Effective Cleanser

Experiencing a sudden Summer shower in Copenhagen or rubbing shoulders with locals in a mercado in Mexico City - while unforgettable experiences - requires a skincare cleansing at the end of the day ;)

Doppeltree's Rejuvenate Facial Cleanser is just the solution to gently cleanse away dirt and grime accumulated throughout the day while also buffing away dead skin cells for a brighter and smoother skin. Menthol and eucalyptus oil also provides a refreshing way to both start and end your day.

Must Have #5: a Serum for the Evening

Who doesn’t want glowing, hydrated skin while traveling?

Our Vitamin C Facial Serum with Gold Essence will give your face a much-needed hydration boost after (or during) your travels. You’ve likely noticed that your skin feels especially dry when you travel — this is because there are sudden environmental changes that affect the skin. Planes are notorious for taking the moisture out of our skin because the cabins contain less than 20% humidity.

Esthetician Renée Rouleau says, “It’s well known that airplane cabins have extremely low humidity which leads to skin dehydration and dryness. That’s because dry air will always seek moisture wherever it can get it, and that means it’s going to take it directly from deep within your skin.”

Here’s a skincare tip for optimal travel skincare: take your favorite skin care oils or serums on planes to apply mid-flight for much-needed hydration. Be sure to quickly use a cleansing wipe to get any dirt off your face first! This technique works for any long travel day. You’ll arrive at your dream destination with hydrated skin that makes you feel confident and ready to make incredible memories!

Skincare in the summer can be a little more challenging because of the warmer climate (this is especially true when traveling). Your skin will feel healthy if you keep a consistent routine and take extra care when traveling. We hope you have incredible travel experiences this summer!
