Travel Essentials

Skincare is heavy and not always easy to bring a long when travelling especially shorter trips.
I usually buy travel sized friendly items in Korea and Japan because they always have them. And I also have empty containers so I can fill them up with my fave products.
In Korea and Japan they also sell a lot of the products in smaller travel sizes, even at convenient stores sometimes. Some items that are my essentials are these:


Pads
For the past years there have been a boom of various pads, pre-soaked with goodies.
These kinds of pads are great when travelling, because...you can have them in your carry on!
Many companies have released their versions of pads and some of the ones I love are these.
I use them both at home and travelling
