Skincare: The Long Weekend Essentials

Skincare: The Long Weekend Essentials

A long weekend away is the perfect excuse to get out of town and relax, but you do not want to take your entire beauty routine with you. So, what are the essentials? We’ve put together a list of our must-pack essentials that our skin is begging us to bring along!

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must pack for any weekend away. The Cancer Council recommends wearing sunscreen every day that the UV levels are predicted to be above 3 – and most places in Australia will exceed this threshold at some point during the day.

Both our Mineral Mattifying Sunscreen and Invisible Facial Sunscreen are broad spectrum SPF 50+, offering sun protection and skin nourishment with their skin-loving ingredients.

Miracle Pimple Patches

Don’t let a surprise pimple ruin your long weekend! Our Miracle Pimple Patches are the perfect travel companion, providing instant relief with its Tea Tree Oil infused formula.

With four different sizes and a hard-to-spot finish, our hydrocolloid patches will help reduce the appearance of inflammation and protect the skin from further contamination so you can get on with enjoying your weekend away.

Double-Sided Facial Wipes

Whether you’ve glammed for a night out or are covered in sweat from a day hiking, our Double-Sided Facial Wipes will leave you feeling instantly cleansed and refreshed. With ingredients like Vitamin C, Aloe vera, and Vitamin E, your skin is left feeling hydrated and soothed.

The compact packaging is born to live in your overnight bag, while the dual sided design enables you to cleanse and gently remove dead skin cells without the need to pack a separate exfoliator.

Brightening Glow Luxe Face Oil

It wouldn’t be a weekend away without a little treat. Our Brightening Glow Luxe Face Oil is packed with 11 natural oils for a treatment-in-a-bottle effect.

Perfect for all skin types (yes, even oily!), this oil hydrates your skin while balancing natural oil production. It can be used on its own or mixed in with your moisturiser or foundation for a glowing boost.

Hydrating Day & Night Moisturiser

Moisturising is an essential part of every daily routine, whether you are on a holiday or not. As part of a regular routine it helps your skin feel hydrated and nourished while helping to balance oil production, so don’t forget to bring it on your trip!

Our Vitamin C rich Hydrating Day & Night Moisturiser soothes skin with plenty of nourishing ingredients like soft Shea Butter and brightening Hibiscus Extract. Our hero ingredient is Kakadu Plum, an Australian superfruit that is the richest natural source of Vitamin C in the world. Read about all the reasons we love Kakadu Plum here.

While we would not judge you for taking your entire skincare routine away with you (and a few of us are guilty of that ourselves), we hope this list will help make your packing list just a little bit smaller for your next weekend away!
