9 beauty products you can’t miss out for winter travel

Getting ready for a winter holiday? There is no denying that we Singaporeans love to travel, especially to countries with colder weather to escape the heat. However, the drastic change of weather can take a toll on our skin.

In Singapore, most of us experience oily skin and enlarged pores, but when we are in countries with four seasons, cold air tightens the pores and our oil glands become less active; giving us clear, smooth skin. Sounds like a dream? The truth is it is more like a nightmare, even people with “oily” skin will experience skin flaking, chapped lips and in the worst case cold rashes. Fine lines and wrinkles will be accentuated, and if we have makeup on, it will start cracking.  Fortunately, we have the essential beauty know-how to survive though a chilly getaway.

1. Cleansing Lotion 

Generally foam or gel cleansers may be a little too drying for the skin during winter.  Opt for a cleansing lotion that contains some cleansing oil to gently remove dirt, makeup and impurities; while normalizing our skin’s PH level and locking skin’s own moisture.

Our Mandarin Acai Cleansing Lotion, choked full of certified organic ingredients, is an ideal choice as it contains a high concentration of Vitamin C to gently remove dead skin cells and increase cell turnover. Reduce our skin’s flakiness with gentle-exfoliation while nourishing it to keep it deeply moisturised.

 2. Micellar Water

Various countries and seasons differ in the “hardness” of water. Sometimes it may contain heavy metals such as iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, fluoride and chlorine which remove our oil barrier; causing dryness and premature aging to occur. Micellar water is the perfect winter-weather substitute to a regular face wash which does not strip the skin of its natural moisture.  

Hydrate and cleanse with our Seriously Fresh Micellar Water as it acts like a magnet to attract dirt. Contains cucumber and chamomile to soothe irritations, dry and itchy skin. It also nourishes the skin with organic rose and antioxidant-rich green tea; leaving the skin dewy and hydrated. Perfect for travel!

3. Facial Oil 

Good facial oils are really essential to save our skin during winter. Oils are natural emollients which lock and seal in our skin’s natural oil, while preventing moisture loss.

Here’s a quick #beautytip, add a few drops of our Cell Regeneration Facial Oil Serum to a little toner, or mist, and gently massage into the skin. So nourishing! Packed with antioxidants, this facial oil contains 17 organic flower and plant extracts to boost the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. No matter what your skin type is (Yes, works wonders on combination skin too!), you can use this divine facial oil serum to achieve supple, moist skin.

6. Mist 

#travelessentials and #inflightessentials. Applying skincare twice daily is not enough to protect our skin. Think – If we drink water throughout the day to hydrate our body organs, all the more we have to hydrate the skin, our body’s largest organ, throughout the day to replenish the skin’s hydration. How?

Spitz our Deluxe Hydra Nutrient Mist throughout the day and whenever needed. Thankfully our mist is a long-lasting formula as it’s not just aqua which dries out quickly. It is a combination of serums and essences which act as a reapplication of skincare.
