Summer Holidays in Style
Travel Tips to Look Great with Minimal Effort
Hi everyone!
This summer, I had a wonderful vacation in Greece with some of my dearest friends. I love Greece, both for its crystal clear sea and its vibrant culture.
When I'm on vacation I want to enjoy the experience and precious time with the people I love the most, so I think it's useful to feel good, beautiful/at ease … using the least amount of time possible!
When our destination is quite close, we often aim to pack more essential bags.
That's why I thought I'd share with you some tips on how to fully enjoy your holidays, staying fresh and beautiful with minimal effort and minimal space in your suitcase!
Less is More
On vacation, we can feel comfortable without losing style!
For me, the trick is to choose simple but chic pieces, like light caftans or oversized dresses, that allow you to move freely and stay cool and comfortable… and then we embellish them with accessories!
With a beautiful bag and jewelry, such as maxi earrings or bracelets, even the simplest look takes on a great personality!
Paired with a pair of gladiator or jeweled sandals, these outfits are not only comfortable but add an elegant touch to the holiday look.
And, above all, by focusing on accessories we will have more space in the suitcase!
Time-saving Beauty Rituals and Beauty
Even on vacation, skin care is essential, but a routine can be quicker and more effective!
That's why in the morning, after cleansing and in the evening, after the shower, nothing beats the freshness of toner.
In fact, I recommend you take it with you to the beach too, if you have an alcohol-free formula of course, to freshen up before sunscreen, between one exposure and another.
I, who have dry skin, use my Purifying Tonic Lotion .
I find this toner fantastic for keeping the skin texture fresh, hydrated and elastic, but those who have problems with dilated pores and shine will literally not be able to do without it!
Sunscreen... Skincare
And speaking of hydration, choose a sunscreen that is a real skincare treatment.
Compared to the past, there are formulas that truly satisfy all needs !
In addition to an adequate SPF, look for ingredients that can meet the needs of your skin also because, let's not forget, spending a lot of time in the sun is stressful for the skin!
And then I love creams with a silky finish that leave the skin firm and very soft!
Personally, I find it essential to use very hydrating sunscreens , enriched with Hyaluronic Acid but also with anti-blemish active ingredients to avoid hyperpigmentation which, as we know, especially with advancing age, tends to leave traces on the face!
(By the way, until the end of August, our Sunlight Face Cream is among the free gifts available with purchases!)
Evening Glow Up
And, as the young people say now, in the evening we can do our glow up.😜
If, during the day, we have treated our skin well and have taken care to always keep it protected and hydrated, in the evening, we will not need all this make up… On the contrary!
Take advantage of your tan and opt for an illuminating moisturizer that can enhance your tan .
I also use it to emphasize the features I want to highlight, applying it on the cheekbones and the tip of the nose.
Of course, the one I use is my Glow Cream , which contains an illuminating peptide but also 100% natural micas that give a wonderful golden light!
My signature
You know, it's my signature: I love using a little lipstick on my lips and dabbing it on my cheeks too for a natural, sun-kissed look.
I think that all lips deserve to be enhanced by a touch of color that knows how to emphasize them, they are important in a person's face!
And then nothing, a touch of mascara if you want (I recommend those with light lashes like mine to choose a hazelnut color, to maintain that slightly natural effect)… and you're ready for your evening!
Lots of kisses,
Alessia
