My go-to skin care routine that's also travel friendly!
I have combination skin. Combination skin is recognized as having oily skin in some areas of your face and dry skin in other areas. Typically, the t-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) are more prone to oiliness and the dry areas usually persist around the cheeks, jaw area, and along the hairline. I travel often for work and flights are so dehydrating to my skin. Lets get into the routine and the products I use below!
First up makeup remover cloth from amazon! the best – click the link to order.
The black ones were sold out however I still included the link just in case they restock or you don’t mind the other colors. Upon arrival wash your makeup remover cloth in the washing machine to remove any excess lint and then it is safe to use.
This part of the skincare routine is so soothing for me. After a long day preparing a chilled makeup remover cloth to press into my face feels meditative.
I first discovered this brand on Teyana Taylor’s instagram. At the time I was suffering from really bad acne. I changed my diet, reduced stress, and tried all of the expensive products with no success of improving my skin. Urban Skin Rx was the only thing that worked! 5 years later its still my #1 cleanser for clear, glowy skin.

I use my Clarisonic Mia 2 to apply my cleanser it gets everything clogging my pores out!
I use my ice roller with the serums. This feels so amazing on my face!
Moisturizer!
After I moisturize my skin its time for bed or my skin is now prepped properly to begin my makeup routine. I also have products I use to prime my skin for makeup and lock it in. I'll share that routine at another time.
Below are some of my favorite skincare masks!
Thirst Trap is my favorite mask to use after a long flight. So hydrating!! drinking a lot of water while flying also helps!
I was recently gifted some products from a popular skincare brand. Im currently testing the products on my skin and will also share them via instagram so if you aren’t following me, head over to IG and follow @stylemavenmel so you don’t miss the content. 🙂
