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!

Along with planning your wedding, choosing your wedding dress, booking your wedding venue, photographer and all of your other vendors, you also need to think about the honeymoon. Specifically what to pack, and how to pack it.

It pays to be a savvy packer.

When it comes to packing your beauty goodies a few great tricks make all the difference! Seasoned travelers know that well built cosmetic bags make all the difference.  And who wants to arrive at their dream honeymoon destination to find that their favorite eyeshadows and blush have been reduced to a chunky powdery mess?
