Makeup Remover: Take It All Off (30ml, 120ml)
If you’ll be wearing makeup on your travels, remember to pack a high-performance makeup remover like Take It All Off. This biphase makeup remover is formulated to melt away makeup including stubborn lipstick and waterproof mascara. It’s gentle on the skin and is infused with soothing, calming chamomile, working to hydrate and condition the complexion, lips and lashes and leaving you fresh faced and ready for some rest and relaxation.
Face Mist: Charlotte’s Magic Hydrator Mist (75ml)
To refresh and revive the look of your complexion on the go, pack Charlotte’s Magic Hydrator Mist for a magical moisture boost. This hydrating, oxygenating face mist gives the complexion an instant, dewy-looking glow while providing skin-shielding pollution defence and lasting hydration. Signs of digital fatigue appear reduced, which is a must for travellers that occupy themselves with their tablet or smartphone while on transport. Mist anytime, anywhere for immediate moisture.
Toner: Glow Toner (30ml, 150ml)
Glow Toner is my secret to gorgeous daily radiance. Formulated as a gently exfoliating toner that refines the appearance of pores and lifts the look of the complexion with brightening niacinamide, this acid-free formula helps skin to appear smoother and more radiant. Travelling with a toner will help your skin to feel gently resurfaced and baby soft throughout your trip while enhancing the look of your natural glow.
Eye Cream: Magic Eye Rescue (15ml)
The delicate skin around your eyes can become tight, dry and dehydrated while travelling, so it’s important to pack a supercharged eye cream that helps to hydrate and nourish around the eyes. My Magic Eye Rescue eye cream is formulated to smooth, hydrate and brighten the eye area, helping to depuff the look of the under eyes and illuminate the appearance of dark circles that can become even more apparent thanks to late nights and a busy travel schedule. It’s also infused with time-released retinol which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines for younger-looking skin.
Face Serum: Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir (8ml, 30ml, 100ml)
Face serum is a powerful way to supercharge your travel-friendly skincare routine. Charlotte’s Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is my youth-boosting, crystal-infused formula that floods the skin with hydrating polyglutamic acid and brightening golden vitamin C to lift the look of the complexion. Travel with this magical serum and give your skin a surge of skincare benefits for immediate and lasting hydration.
Day Cream: Charlotte’s Magic Cream (30ml, 50ml, 150ml)
Magic Cream is Magic Skin, darlings! I never travel without my award-winning, globally loved moisturiser – it’s the secret to perfectly prepped, smoother, plumper-looking skin! Born backstage and enriched with my research-powered Magic 8 Matrix of skincare ingredients, this moisturiser immediately revives the look of skin and creates a gorgeous canvas for makeup application. Travel with this iconic face cream and make every day a magic skin day!
Night Cream: Magic Night Cream (50ml)
After an action-packed day trip or a non-stop travel day, reach for Magic Night Cream in the evenings to give the skin magical, overnight nourishment. This decadent beauty balm helps to repair the look of skin while you get your beauty sleep, massaging into the face and delivering hour-by-hour moisture with supercharged ingredients such as time-released retinol and conditioning vitamin E.
Lip Oil: Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir (8ml)
Travelling can cause lips to become dry and chapped, so be sure to pack a nourishing lip oil like Charlotte’s Magic Lip Oil Crystal Elixir to keep them hydrated. This crystal-infused lip oil has the power of a serum and the shine of a gloss, gliding onto the lips to moisturise and condition with a single swipe. You can apply this magical lip oil on its own or on top of your favourite lip products to give your pout a burst of moisture while you travel.
Sunscreen: Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer SPF50 (30ml)
Sun protection is essential wherever you’re travelling to, so be sure to carry a high-factor sunscreen like Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer to prime and protect the face from harmful UV rays. I created this SPF primer to work as a triple-action formula; it hydrates the skin with hyaluronic acid; protects the skin from sun damage with SPF50 protection; and works as a smoothing, pore-blurring veil that primes the skin for makeup. Apply every day to help shield your skin from the sun and reapply as needed.
