A true travel companion…

---

In curating this Summer Skin Essentials Kit, we first thought about just where our most favorite season (at least that’s true for most people) might find us. And this year, it seems, that somewhere could be just about “anywhere” – wherever we can fly, drive, run, hike, we’re there. Beach hang? Cabin retreat? Card game with friends? Whether your summer plans will carry you across the globe or across the park, this kit is simple, totable, and versatile enough that our team plans to use it again and again. And of course, we wish the same for you, wherever you land:

(DON’T) FEEL THE BURN

Now, as summer is of course equated with “sun” and “burn”, we’re definitely including an SPF in our must-haves. Our fave? Every.Single.Face, from the super team at Supergoop!. The reason? All of them. This SPF50 sunscreen is undetectable after application, and suitable for all skin types, tones, and routines. Perfect as a base before makeup, or all on its own. Crafted from cress sprout extract (which helps your skin to retain water and strengthen its barrier) and wild butterfly ginger root extract (with potent antioxidant properties), Every.Single.Face is clean, cruelty-free, and coming with us on every adventure.

LOCK IT IN

If it’s moisture you’re after, we’ve got three letters for you: CEO. As in, Sunday Riley CEO Afterglow. This cream is a real crowd pleaser, thanks to its core ingredient, THD Ascorbate – a powerful, jar-stable vitamin C derivative that, among other benefits, may minimize the signs of premature aging, along with lime pearl and chamomile extract which make for a most soothing exfoliation. Sunday Riley’s cream also gets a big thumbs-up for complementing all skin types. So think of this mild-citrusy-sweet-smelling cream as your skin’s daily thirst quencher, glow-getter…CEO is def the one in charge of beginning and ending your skin’s day on a high note.

KEEP IT CLEAN

A summer skin essentials kit wouldn’t be complete without some YTTP (that’s Youth To The People, for the uninitiated). Incorporated into your daily skin cleansing routine, this balm’s wondrous mix of hydrating jojoba and moringa oils, superberry antioxidants and moisture-rich hyaluronic acid helps to free skin from makeup and other impurities, AND maintain a natural-looking glow. It’s a literal melt-in-your-hand formula that goes on easily and never greasily. Perfect for every type of skin, YTTP’s Superberry Dream Cleansing Balm is PEG-free (short for polyethylene glycol, an emulsifying compound which can aggravate sensitive skin), vegan, which makes it an all-around perfect go-to.
