What Are Your Top 5 In The Bag?

Posted: October 10th, 2018

Most women believe incorrectly that to look their best they must carry around wherever they go a heavy bag or purse filled with beauty products. It's time to return to the basics. The fact is that whether you're heading to work or a day spa, you only need a few simple items to maintain a stunning appearance.  Never leave the house without taking these top five essential beauty products with you: 

Styling Solution 

The length of your hair, the products you use on it and environmental exposures to the wind, humidity, and rain can easily cause cowlicks, flyaways, frizz and a wide range of other hairstyle problems at moment's notice. Always pack hairspray, cream or gel, and a foldaway comb or brush to tame your hair. Even if you're only heading to the gym or spa, a styling solution is a must-have item. It can help you make yourself more presentable after sweating or taking a shower. 

Lip Moisturizer 

Lips dry out easily from a combination of factors, including wind, salty and acidic foods, hormones and habitual licking. It doesn't matter if you prefer lipstick or lip balm, you should always have a lip moisturizer on hand. A lipstick in your preferred color that's infused with nutrients, moisturizer, and sunscreen perfectly combines everything needed for excellent lip health and a fabulous look. 

Travel Makeup 

You never know when your makeup might smudge or a pimple or cold sore might instantly appear. Also, women often deal with sudden swelling or dark spots around the eyes from hormones and exposure to allergens. A travel makeup pack with a blender sponge guarantees that your face always looks a preferred way. More importantly, you can create a fresh, energetic and healthy appearance at any time when you suddenly become sick or tired and look at it. 

Hand Sanitizer 

Before you put on your makeup, it's important to always rub a little sanitizer on your hands to prevent germ or dirt transfer to your face or lips. Hand sanitizer that contains alcohol is also a great solution for cleaning makeup brush bristles and makeup stains on clothing. Simply apply a small dab of the gel or liquid to a cotton swab or tissue and rub away the old makeup. 

Skin Lotion 

Lastly, never forget the importance of protecting your skin, especially after washing your hands or using hand sanitizer. A travel-size moisturizing hand lotion is the best skin care product for those moments when you must deal with common skin problems. For example, skin lotion helps soothe and reverse dry, cracked and inflamed skin flare-ups caused by a reaction to soap, overuse of sanitizer, cold weather and certain medical conditions like eczema.
