What To Pack For A Weekend Away

Supercharged Skincare & Complexion Must-Haves for Weekend Getaway

Before you create a magic makeup look, you first need a smooth, flawless canvas! Take these essentials to ensure your skin is refreshed, rejuvenated, and refined no matter where you go—and you’ll begin your day looking and feeling glowing!

  1. An open, travel-size, clear bottle filled with luminous, cream-coloured watery toner with its silver-coloured lid next to it.

    Mini Glow Toner

    After cleansing, pamper your skin with Charlotte’s NEW! Glow Toner, her radiant glow solution! Inspired by the brightening, pore-refining effects of an acid toner and the skin-cushioning hydration of an essence, this miracle elixir gently resurfaces the feel of skin, reduces the appearance of pores, and cocoons the complexion with a smoothing, plump-effect, gleaming glow.

    The supercharged ingredients include Royalepigen P5, a peptide that that supports natural surface skin cell turnover and is encapsulated in Shea Butter to increase absorption into the skin and to help maintain a brighter, more even looking complexion. EXFOLACTIVE™, an extract from the Prickly Pear Cactus flower, helps boost the skin’s natural exfoliation process whilst improving the appearance of clarity and luminosity. Extracted from the Red Clover Flower, Poretight is a plant-derived pore-minimizer that helps to rebalance the skin and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and uneven skin texture.

    This travel-sized bottle of Charlotte’s acid-free toner is a must-have skincare product for any trip away!

INVISIBLE UV FLAWLESS PORELESS PRIMER

Darlings, every dermatologist will tell you that the sun is the most damaging external stressor for your skin, with too much exposure causing photoaging, moisture loss, breakdown of elasticity, premature wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation! No matter your age, skin type or skin tone, if you aren’t wearing sun protection, your magical layers of serums, creams, and hydration are going to waste! You should use a sunscreen every day, all year round, and especially on a beach trip!
