1.Suisai Beauty Clear Gold Powder Wash
Cleansing is the first step of any skincare routine, especially while traveling with your skin exposed to various environmental changes and stress. Suisai Beauty Clear Gold Powder Wash is a compact powder-based cleanser from Japan that bubbles up when mixed with water. This product is perfect for travel because of its individually packed capsules making it lightweight and spill-proof.
Key Features
✏️Travel-Friendly: The single-use packaging ensures hygiene and convenience, making it ideal for trips. As opposed to cream or gel types, you can easily bring these on the plane without worrying about liquid restrictions.
✏️Deep Cleansing: The enzyme-based formula helps to dissolve sebum and impurities while ensuring your skin remain hydrated and not overly dry after washing. A single capsule may seem tiny at first, but once you rub it with enough water, it quickly creates just the right amount of bubbles for a thorough cleansing.
2.Edit B Joyful Heart All-in-One Cleansing Pad
Packing multiple skincare products for a trip can be a hassle, which is why all-in-one products are so useful. The Edit B Joyful Heart All-in-One Cleansing Pad combines cleansing, exfoliation and hydration in a single step, making it perfect for travelers looking to speed up their skincare routine.
I found these pads to be noticeably more gentle on my skin compared to regular cleansing tissues, making them more suitable for daily use. Not to mention that the heart-shaped pads also add a cute and lovely touch to my skincare routine. On average I used about two pads per cleanse but needed one or two extra on days when I wore heavier eye makeup.
Key Features
✏️Multi-Functionality: Removes eye makeup, cleanses the skin, and gently exfoliates all at once.
✏️Hygienic and Travel-Sized: Comes in a resealable pack, making it easy to carry around without worrying about spills or leaks. It’s also lighter than most cleansing tissues and takes up less space in your pouch.
3.MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask
MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask, another product from Japan but is also available in Olive Young, will be a lifesaver for those struggling with travel fatigue from jet lag, uncomfortable hotel beds and/or long-haul flights that prevent quality sleep.
They provide a soothing warmth that helps relax and refresh your eyes in just 10-15 minutes. Available in six different scents including lavender, chamomile, and yuzu, this self-heating eye mask is a must-have for unwinding after a long day.
Key Features
✏️Instant Relaxation: The mask gently warms up when you open the pouch because the heating pad inside reacts with oxygen in the air. This oxidation process generates a gentle heat of approximately 40°C (104°F), which lasts for about 20 minutes.
✏️Perfect for Travel: Individually packaged and easy to use on flights, in hotels or during rides.
4.Mom’s Bath Recipe Body Peeling Pad
If you’re familiar with K-dramas or K-culture, you might have seen the classic Korean-style body towels in bright green or magenta pink a.k.a ‘Italy towels.’ The name originates from the fact that the towel’s fabric is Italian, not because they are actually used in Italy. These towels are known for their rough texture and are a staple both in Korean saunas(jjimjilbang) and at home.
The peeling pads from Mom’s Bath Recipe resemble the Italy towels but offer more convenience and hygiene. They are easy-to-use exfoliating pads that help keep your body smooth and refreshed.
Key Features
✏️Options for Different Skin Types: Choose from Original for regular exfoliation, Strong for deeper cleansing, and Trouble Care for sensitive skin. Each pad also comes with dual sides – a mesh scrub pad for exfoliation and a soft embossed pad for more sensitive care.
✏️Convenient Packaging: The individually wrapped pads are ideal for travel. Since they are already soaked in soap, you don’t need to carry an extra body wash.
Overall
Olive Young is a treasure trove for travelers looking for high-quality, compact, and effective beauty products.
