What to Pack?

The everyday clean beauty care staples you need on your essential travel packing list.

Whether you are planning a multi-week vacation or just a quick weekend getaway, it can be stressful and overwhelming when trying to figure out what to pack.  Are you an over packer? Yup, I know, I’ve earned this title many times.  Often people over pack because they just do not know how to edit or feel too overwhelmed and unsure of what they’ll need over multiple days away from home.   Hopefully with these helpful Beautycounter tips and recommendations, I can help you make packing a breeze, so you feel confident you are getting all your clean beauty necessities met, which will allow you to start focusing on the relaxation and fun you are about to embark on.  You will also find that these suggestions are not only great for travel essentials, but also for go to items for your everyday clean beauty routine.

Beautycounter’s Essential Travel Packing List

Flawless in Five is a must-have for travel and a perfect foundation for every make up bag. This five-piece set provides you with the most bang for your buck and effortless beauty in only five minutes!

Flawless in 5 Ready!

  • Skin Twin Featherweight Foundation or Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer

  • Color Define Brow Pencil or Brilliant Brow Gel

  • Think Big All-In-One Mascara

  • Cheeky Clean Cream Blush – versatile and multitasking, making it the perfect travel product. You can use it on your cheeks and lips… I love a product that does double duty! It is also buildable for a more dramatic look!

  • Beyond Gloss

Lid Glow Cream Shadows

Are perfect if you want to add versatility or drama to your Flawless in Five look. Simply pack two or three of the beautiful shadow shades to go from day to night in a snap.

You can really light lids up in a blink with this cream shadow that effortlessly delivers glowy, buildable color. All the shades are instantly illuminating made to glow how you want to—easily going from a sheer wash of color to a seriously smokey look—in hues that complement a variety of skin tones. Bonus: The weightless, crease-free formula (these shadows are amazing for hooded eyelids!) is infused with safer, soothing ingredients designed to care for eyelids.

Countersun Daily Sheer Defense for Face - SPF 25

is a must pack for every day and any environment, and even more important if you are vacationing in a sunny destination.  You can guard against the sun’s damaging rays with this daily SPF 25 facial sunscreen, formulated with non-nano zinc oxide. This lightweight lotion provides protection from UVA, UVB, and HEV blue light rays while leaving no chalky white cast. Antioxidants help protect skin from pollution, while chicory root extract supports skin’s moisture barrier to lock in hydration.

I have super sensitive skin, which broke out from any and all facial sunblock, and I’m happy to say that I did not with the Countersun! It doesn’t sting my eyes while I sweat which is a plus for me, especially in the summer when I’m outside mountain biking. When we sweat our pores open up A LOT so using a safer sunblock is soooooo critical. Also, in case this means something to you, our sunblock is safe for the oceans and reefs. For me, this is ultra important. I’ll never forget one year prior to being keen on using safer beauty personal care products, the sunblock I had brought to Aruba was BANNED because of the chemicals that harm the coral reefs! Now, let me ask you…. Why would we want that on our largest organ of our body? I know I don’t!

Countersun Mineral Suncreen Lotion- SPF 30

Also can not be left at home when discussing the importance of protecting our body for the sun.  It is a water-resistant sunscreen lotion. Formulated with non-nano zinc and California Poppy, this physical SPF 30 formulation provides an effective shield from UVA and UVB, while being gentle and pleasant feeling on the skin. Smooth, nourishing formula blends evenly onto skin with limited white residue.  It comes in both a full size and travel size package for your convenience.
