Skincare Essentials in our Handbag

The bigger the bag, the more the beauty stash right?

Yes, you can carry more... but as with all things in life, be mindful. We're champions of simplicity in every aspect of our routine- it is the Arvelon skincare philosophy, after all, and pairing it down to just the essentials is always our goal.

Shoulder bags and tote bags may afford you the luxury of space to fill, but there's no need to sweep your entire skincare shelf into your bag.

So what should you be carrying in your handbag?

• Lip balm, dry climate, and wind can sap the moisture right out of your lips resulting in unpleasant, chapped lips. Applying a lip conditioner will help keep them hydrated and moisturized, and protect them from chapping.
• SPF is your BFF, sun protection is the key to preventing sun damage, pigmentation. Apply a sun block 20 minutes before you step-out to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and sun damage.
• Moisturizer, a multi-purpose moisturizer is the most important product you should be carrying! Dry elbows? Dry cuticles? Parched skin? Your moisturizer will help you deal with all of the above and any other dry areas.
• Hand cream, with Covid-19 lurking around, we've been using alcohol-based hand sanitizers and washing our hands more frequently than we used to. This makes the hands extra, extra dry, to relieve dry hands, apply a rich hand cream several times a day.

You will have to give-up some handbag real estate, but it'll be all worth it when you have all your beauty dilemma's covered, and are ready to take on the world.
