With Labor Day around the corner and summer coming to an end, many of us look to get away so we can enjoy the final weekend of sunshine and warm weather before getting back into our regular routines. Maintaining a solid skincare routine while traveling, especially with last minute travel, can be quite a challenge. Fortunately, Bluelene is here to help. In today’s blog, we will take a look at our favorite travel companion products that make sit easy to stick to your skincare routine.
What Makes a Good Skincare Routine?
Before recommending specific products or a specific routine, it’s important to look at the components of a quality skincare routine. A good skincare routine should not only hydrate skin and leave it feeling refreshed, but it should also work to improve the long term health of your skin cells. Selecting the right products that don’t have contradictory ingredients, layering them in the right order, and using them consistently will result in long term improvements in skin health. Our entire product line at Bluelene is designed to work synergistically with one another in a simple, easy to use manner that makes your routine effective.
Bluelene’s Recommended Travel Routine
Our favorite On-the-Go Routine begins with a quality cleanser to keep your face clean and toned. CleanPlus+ is a great product for this, but do keep in mind that it is 4oz. If you are flying and are not checking a bag, this product won’t be TSA compliant. Of course you can always fill a small amount in a travel container.
Pro Tip 1: Clean Plus+ makes a fantastic shampoo and body wash!!
Pro Tip 2: Use a little CleanPlus+ with salt or sugar to make an exfoliating scrub!
After your cleanser, apply Serum Plus+ to plump, tighten, and lift skin. Wait 5-10 mins and then use a powerful day/night cream as step 2. Night Plus+ is our go to as the combination with Vitamin C creates cell proliferation and skin repair, while leaving skin feeling super hydrated. In the morning it’s time to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. SunFix is our multi-functional moisturizer and full spectrum SPF in one. It repairs photo-aging, locks in moisture and prevents UVA and UVB damage from the sun.
If the UV index is low, you can substitute the Daily Moisturizer or your night cream. To finish off your morning routine, applying Fit+Firm Serum will leave skin feeling silky smooth while also giving it a final boost as your finishing serum. You can also switch the Serum Plus+ to the morning and the Fit+Firm Serum to your night routine.
Additional recommendations include BodyFix and HandPlus+. Use BodyFix after you shower and before bed to help your skin stay hydrated and feel recovered from a day outside. HandPlus+ is a wonderful treatment for your hands, which get a lot of sun exposure. It will work wonders smoothing your skin and repairing sun spots.
