Ready to go: smart choices for travellers

A set of four mini face masks (15 ml) and a professional application brush, presented in an elegant box featuring a reproduction of a work by Vivian Ho. Valmont’s Multi-Masking Set (€205) addresses the skin’s various needs with its exceptional formulas, which intensely moisturise, restore radiance, purify, and erase signs of fatigue and fine lines.

AGAINST SKIN IMPERFECTIONS

Those caused, for example, by facial expressions exacerbated by a hectic pace of life, too many hours spent in front of a computer screen and too little deep sleep. The restorative formula of Midnight Secret by Guerlain (15 ml, €59) plumps, energises and brightens the eye contour area thanks to a combination of Ouessant Black Bee honey, patented Face-Taping technology, hyaluronic acid, caffeine and a vitamin C derivative.

ANTI-JET LAG

Changing time zones can have a negative impact on the quality of sleep and, consequently, on wakefulness. Clinique La Prairie’s Longevity Travel Protocol (€627.73, two packs of 120 capsules, a face mask and a digital guide with practical advice) offers two complementary formulas: Energy, to be taken in the morning to support concentration and vitality; Balance in the evening to promote relaxation and night-time recovery.

DAY & NIGHT

It doesn’t matter which time zone you’re in, because the formula of Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Âge by Sisley Paris (travel size, 15 ml, €154) is designed to address the skin’s changing needs over a 24-hour period. And, thanks to the presence of over 50 active ingredients, it tackles not only genetic and environmental factors contributing to ageing, but also behavioural factors linked to stress, an irregular lifestyle and fatigue.

FOR A BEAUTIFUL SMILE

A compact travel case fitted with a USB-C port and a cable for charging the toothbrush without having to remove it. Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige (€349.99), featuring SenseIQ, monitors brushing parameters (pressure, movement, area) up to 100 times per second and automatically adjusts the intensity. It features a brush head with angled bristles and sonic technology to effectively clean even the hardest-to-reach areas.

MAGNETIC CLOSURES

An accessory that combines functionality and style: Globe Trotter Gold Edition by Francis Kurkdjian (€135) is designed to hold one of the brand’s fragrances in an 11 ml bottle. This elegant metal case features a magnetic closure that prevents accidental opening and leakage. Sold individually or as a travel set containing three refills (from €250 depending on the fragrance).

THE SCENT OF AMBER

Inspired in its shape, colour and fragrance by the brand’s floral-amber perfume of the same name, Paradoxe Hand Cream by Prada Beauty (50 ml, €57) smooths the skin, strengthens the nails and softens the cuticles thanks to its formula containing shea butter, niacinamide and biotin. The liquid balm texture is also extremely pleasant: light and instantly absorbed, it transforms into a long-lasting, protective and moisturising veil.

WITH THE ROSA DE GRANVILLE

A travel-sized mist to counteract the effects of heating or air conditioning: Dior Prestige La Micro Brume de Rose by Dior (25 ml, €153 with two extra 25 ml refills) not only moisturises but, thanks to the nutrients from the Rose de Granville combined with active rose water, leaves the skin softer and more radiant. With an ultra-fine mist, it can even be sprayed over make-up without affecting it.

COOL DOWN

To combat increasingly hot temperatures, even in areas and at times when they would not normally be expected: Shark ChillPill by SharkNinja (€129.99) is a portable device that combines a high-speed fan, an ultra-fine mist sprayer with continuous or intermittent settings, and a cooling pad that can be placed directly on the skin. The battery life can last up to 11 hours.

VELVET-LIKE LIPS

Dehydration caused by spending time in air-conditioned environments can also lead to dry, irritated lips – a condition that compromises the performance and staying power of make-up. The contoured Nouri-Kiss Petal Lip Patches from Dolce & Gabbana Beauty’s Nouri-Kiss Petal Lip Patches (€40, pack of five single-use sachets), infused with provitamin B5 and adenosine, provide deep nourishment and soothing relief, leaving lips soft and supple, ready for make-up.

MULTI-PURPOSE ELIXIR

Thanks to its compact size, La Mer’s iconic The Renewal Oil (15 ml, €140) is the smart solution for enjoying its benefits even whilst travelling. And its benefits aren’t limited to the skin on your face: it can also be applied to your hair, massaged into your cuticles and used on any area that feels rough or dry. Formulated with Miracle Broth and a blend of marine-derived nutrients, just a few drops are all you need.

SMALL BUT POWERFUL

It offers the same performance as the original, with the added advantage that the Dyson Supersonic Travel hairdryer (€299) is small and compact: it weighs less than a can of drink and fits into hand luggage. It features the same heat control technology for fast drying without heat damage. What’s more, the voltage automatically adjusts to the country of use, ensuring maximum performance worldwide.
