She’s back! International Make-up Artist Corinna B. tells us what a smart newlywed will pack to keep her skin looking perfect on her dream vacation:

Planning a fabulous honeymoon with the man of your dreams?

When choosing what to take with you it pays to think ahead, be organized and have a plan. Especially when it comes to your skin care! If your skin looks fantastic then so will you.

 Remember to condense everything down into smaller plastic travel bottles & jars. Full size packaging will weigh you down and take up too much space. Some companies make travel sizes of their key products to make it easy for you.

Here’s a list of skin care items you can’t go on your honeymoon without!

• Cleanser. Take a gentle cleanser that both dissolves makeup and cleans the skin. Your skin will need extra TLC after days in the sun, on the beach, or in a different climate from home.
• Daytime moisturizer appropriate to the climate you’re going to. Your skin has different needs in a dry climate than it does in a humid one.
• Facial SPF (at least SPF 30) for daily wear. This is not your beach SPF, this is your everyday, walking around sun protection product. Rhonda Allison makes a fabulous facial sunscreen that you need to try.
• Eye cream day and night is essential!
• Night cream/night time moisturizer. Don’t skip this step!
• Specialty booster product. Depending on what climate you’re going to, your skin will have some extra needs. If you’re beaching it, or doing something that involves the outdoors, chances are you’ll need extra hydration. A serum or a moisture booster is essential.
•  If you’re heading to humidity you may need extra help deep cleansing or spot treating break outs that may occur
•  A rescue product. Too much sun? Wind burn from the boat? Hylunia’s Colloidal Silver Spray is an amazing source of instant relief to irritated or sore skin.
• Lip balm! You’ll need it!

 Look for products that do multiple jobs at once.

 Melt by Face Atelier was designed for the savvy traveler. It not only cleanses, but dissolves makeup, soothes and gives treatment too!

 Some companies such as Dermalogica provide single serve topical skin care capsules. Just count out how many days you need. This is a super lightweight, simplified way to travel!

 Philosophy’s Booster Caps do exactly that! They boost your current skin care. Take one capsule for each night you’re away, snap it open and mix it with your night time moisturizer

 There are two skin care products that you’ll need full sizes of:

Facial SPF for the beach. Get as high of an SPF as you can find! Neutrogena makes a dry touch SPF 85 with helioplex that protects the skin and wont break you out.

Body SPF for everwhere else. Get a sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Don’t forget to reapply every couple of hours!

OK,  Honeymooners, are you feeling ready? Corinna B. has armed you with a wealth of information- Happy Traveling! Chatting Soon~Kelly

Are you one of the lucky ones? If you are going on any sort of vacation this summer, your answer is “YES!” Are talking Honeymoon? Feel free to add a squeal, jump or fist pump to your “YES!”. If said get-away includes soaking up the sun, sipping fruity beverages near water and donning a sassy little bikini, you should also be considering your “face”.

A girl by the pool with mounds of make-up is not a pretty sight. My guess is that she is wearing all that make-up to cover up her skin that has rebelled against her vacation. So what do you do? You want the beachy glow. You want to wear minimal make-up. And most important, you want to feel gorgeous!

Lucky for us, Corinna Cooke, our friend and make-up artist extraordinaire, has shared some ingenious skin care essentials for your summer getaway.

The #1 product you must use, without fail, is sunscreen. Rhonda Allison, skin care guru and “Queen of Peels”, offers a fantastic product called Zinc Protection Cream. It is a zinc- based sun protection that is gentler on your face than most sunscreens that contain harsh chemicals. There are sunscreens that can actually harm your skin when exposed to the sun’s rays so watch out for those that contain synthetic chemicals. For more information on what to stay away from and why, visit Rhonda’s blog.

You need clean skin, vacation or not, so check out the crazy efficient multi-tasker Melt from Face Atelier. This one product removes make-up, rids your face of grime and rejuvenates your skin. This is the ultimate all- in- one product that Corinna Cooke recommends to her clients. Use Melt and you can get back to relaxing in no time!

And for today’s final vacation skin tip, and this one is going to knock your floppy sun  hat right off, Hylunia Skin Care will soothe your sunburned cheeks with it’s Colloidal Silver with Lavender Floral Water. Yes, it sounds a bit space-aged but when you’re on vacation, the last thing you want is that scratchy “don’t touch me” sunburn pain. Hylunia will save the day.

Finally, travelers, brides, honeymooners, make sure you are using high-quality skin care products even though you are leaving town. Your skin deserves to be pampered on vacation too!  Pick up these face-saving products in travel sizes and you are good to go!

Chatting soon, Kelly
