{the suitcase skincare kit.} happy fabulous monday 😏✨ if you saw my stories, this past weekend, my husband and I took a mini trip. as always, one of the first things i pack is my skincare!!! and... guess who forgot that skincare at home 🥲🙃. me. an aesthetician. 🤦🏻‍♀️ obviously, my mind is racing with the upcoming @aqs.scottsdale launch. this mind slip forced me to try other “drugstore” brands I normally wouldn’t. it also confirmed for me a few things - 1 - professional consultation driven skincare truly is the best way to get tailored results for YOU 2 - always have a mini skincare kit in your suitcase that can live there for moments like this 🥲✌🏼 3 - drugstore skincare is not bad at all, but curated skincare makes the self love ritual all the more peaceful. guessing is out the door. so with the MANY skincare samples I have (& i know many of you have that comes with your orders 😏), here is how we can make sure we USE them so they don’t go to waste. we create a mini travel skincare kit that stays in our suitcase for these emergencies. for myself, i kept it super simple + intentional: ✨ the BR mini serum case. she’s sleek, fitting the essentials without taking up TOO much room. ✨ samples of Lait U and/or Lait EV. whatever cleanser works for you! ✨ Leauxygenante MIST. she’s not a “sample” size, but she’s travel size. one for the purse. one for the suitcase. she is my refreshing, antioxidant dense toner! ✨ Creme HydravitS for the essential hydration and brightening. packed with antioxidants. great for am + pm. your cream choice is super subjective! ✨ Creme Masque Vernix sample. she is a travel MUST have, but the way she works mixed in with your creme is just 🤤. mmm. obviously, you can add a 0.3 oz travel serum in this mix or swap out per your skin instant. this is just a template that works for my skin! once your skin is used to sexy formulations and ingredients, it’s hard to try brands that don’t deliver the same way. this is fabulous to protect future you in case a mind slip happens again or just to keep it simple, fresh, and resourceful. don’t let your samples accumulate because they expire too! stay GLOWING, stay FABULOUS 😏 xx, bisma.
