My husband makes fun of me for all the things I keep in my car. He likes to joke that I live in my car, and in reality, I probably could last a few days in my vehicle. I like to be prepared, so I always have the necessities with me or nearby for easy access. My skincare products are an absolute necessity for me, so they are always nearby.
I keep a small purse in my car with the daily necessities. There are five skincare items that I carry with me all the time.
1. Sunscreen
Number one and the absolute most important . . . SUNSCREEN. I go nowhere without it. I have a backup and a backup for the backup. The type of sunscreen is not so important as just having one to use and apply throughout the day. I am, however, partial to sprays or mists like this one. I like how easy it is to apply even when I’m wearing makeup. If you prefer a liquid or cream SPF, this is my backup option. It’s a smaller jar, so it fits nicely in my purse when I take it out of the car.
2. Under-Eye Masks
Are you on the go a lot? Most of us are. I like to make sure that no one can tell how tired I am. That’s where the under-eye masks come in. I keep multiple pairs in every purse I own. You never know when you’re gonna need to look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, even if you don’t feel so pumped up. These under-eye masks are like a hit of caffeine for the face!
3. Facial Mist
Have you ever looked in the mirror midday and felt like your skin just looked dull and dry? Of course at this point, you don’t have the ability to do your whole skincare routine to refresh. Or maybe it’s your makeup that’s looking a bit cakey and needs a refresh but your compact is at home. For times like this, you need a great facial mist to refresh, rehydrate, and nourish your skin. It’ll keep your skin looking plump and dewy all throughout your busy day. This is my favorite facial mist. It comes in a compact size that fits perfectly in my purse.
4. Lip Balm
This is one that you probably already have, but I’m gonna list it anyway since it’s a must-have for me. Keep your lips conditioned and hydrated all day by keeping a lip balm handy.
5. Facial Wipes
This last item is one that I recently added to the lineup. This summer heat was something else this year, so I needed to make sure that the sweat, dirt, and constant SPF application didn’t clog my pores. I started a new habit of wiping my face with a wipe before reapplying my sunscreen. Facial cleansing wipes are a new, but equally important, must-have for my purse.
