Summer Getaway Beauty Must Haves

Memorial Day weekend means it’s time to start planning that summer getaway – if you haven’t already booked your ideal trip.

“Even when you are off on a getaway make sure you wash your face morning and night,” noted Dr. Debra Jaliman, a world-renowned dermatologist. “In addition, make sure you don’t leave any traces of make up on since it will cause bumps on your face.”

So, if you don’t want to be stuck in an unfamiliar spot searching for a beauty must have, make sure you’re properly prepared with these travel essentials.

Whether you’re spending the day by the pool or beach, when your skin needs a quick refresher, grab I .PEKAR Hungarian Thermal Water Tonik ($88, ildipekar.com). The invigorating tonic contains activated Hungarian Thermal Water – A.K.A. “miracle water” – so you know it’s got to be amazing. Along with detoxifying, purifying, and brightening qualities, it also leaves skin hydrated – which can be difficult to achieve when you’re traveling.

If you’re heading to a seaside getaway, the Pattern by Tiffany Lerman Scene Pouch in Salt Hair Don’t Care ($28, www.patternla.com) is a must. The cute cosmetic pouch that will fit all your beach necessities is water resistant and made from durable poly canvas, and once you’ve left your oasis, that beach scene will have you dreaming of your next vacation.

Does traveling to an exotic locale have you dreading those hard to get rid of under eye bags. Make sure to pack G.M. Collin Anti-Aging Instant Radiance Eye Patches ($50, www.gmcollin.com) to ensure that you look like you’ve gotten a well-rested night of sleep. Put them on when you’re just about at your destination and in just 20 minutes, they’ll provide quick relief.

Plan on wearing a bold lip during your getaway? Make sure your pout is moisturized with Moroccan Magic Magic Organic Lip Balm ($12 to $14, www.moroccanmagicbeauty.com). Infused with nourishing USDA Organic Argan and essential oils, the quickly absorbing and super moisturizing balm is available in peppermint eucalyptus, rose, lemon thyme, and coconut almond.

Nothing is worse than washing your face and looking in the mirror after to find your makeup hasn’t fully washed off. Sea Radiance Gentle Cleanser ($35, searadiance.com) hydrates skin with hyaluronic acid, organic chamomile, ceramides, vitamins and organic aloe vera as it washes away makeup and impurities. So, not only is it way, way better for your skin than those drying bars of soap hotels usually have, it’s great for a hot, hot, hot spot or chilly escape.

Redken’s No Blow Dry ($24, www.jcpenney.com) allows you to embrace your hair’s natural beauty without looking like a hot mess. Available in Airy Cream (for fine hair), Just Right Cream (for medium hair) and Bossy Cream (for coarse hair), all you have to do is apply a dime-sized amount to damp hair, then scrunch, twist or fluff to create your desired look – whether it’s loose beach waves, defined curls or mega volume.

Haven’t hopped on the sheet mask bandwagon yet? Now’s the perfect time. If you’re looking for a dewy glow and some serious hydration, try Miss Spa Coconut Creme Cotton Sheet Mask ($7.99, www.ulta.com). Miss Spa Vitamin C Boost Bubble Peeling Pad ($9.99, www.ulta.com) will leave you with an unmistakable glow thanks to a combination of Vitamin C and AHA that exfoliates, brightens and hydrates. As you’re unpacking, pop on Miss Spa Hot Chocolate Self-Heating Mask ($6.99, www.ulta.com) because it’s got a caffeine boost that will seriously wake up a dull complexion. And, when you’ve had too much fun in the sun, soothe skin with WEI Beauty’s Mask Magic Yu Zhu Dewy Brilliance Sheet Mask ($32, www.weibeauty.com). The mask’s moisture-rich blend of herbs appeases irritation while providing cooling hydration, leaving you with a more even, youthful complexion. And, since they’re all so light and really don’t take up that much space in your suitcase, why not bring a few so you can customize your skincare?

No matter where you’re heading, you simply can’t forget about SPF, and sunscreen has certainly come along way. Not only will Cle de Peau Beaute UV Protective Cream Tinted SPF 50+ ($85, www.cledepeaubeaute.com) protect you from the sun, but the luxurious formula features ingredients that leave skin luminous, and also manages to reduce the look of wrinkles and sagging (who wouldn’t want that?), provide major moisture, and counteract the harmful effects of pollution.

Even after just one dip into the ocean, our lush locks turn into a dry, brittle mess. Don’t let that get in your way of having good vacation hair by using Virtue Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner ($15 each, www.virtuelabs.com), which offers daily repair thanks to the line’s exclusive, multi-patented Alpha Keratin 60kuTM technology.

While you’re relaxing with a sheet mask on, you might as well make sure your strands are super moisturized with the Dessange Professional Hair Luxury Instant Smoothing, Deep Nourishing Mask, available at CVS ($13.99, 38 Pantigo Road, East Hampton, www.cvs.com), which will also detangle and soften locks.
