Travel Skincare | Night In Manchester

On Sunday night I got to see one of my favourite bands, The 1975 live in their hometown of Manchester. It was the first night of 4 sold out shows they're doing at the Apollo which made it even more special. My friend and I decided to make a weekend of it and did some shopping and stayed over in a hotel. I thought i'd share what skincare and took with me since I packed very light since I was carrying my bag around with me a lot.

EVENING ROUTINE:

I tried to bring products I knew I loved already. I had a sample of the Avene Micellar Lotion which i've used before and liked. This sized sample is so perfect for a few days away and removes makeup really well. For cleanser I brought something I hadn't tried but ended up really liking which is the REN Rosa Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser. This smells lovely and left my skin feeling so clean and soft. I might have to invest in the full size at some point. I brought my normal eye cream; the Avene Soothing Eye Contour Cream as it doesn't take up much room. For some extra hydration I brought my rolller ball of the Balance Me Radiance Face Oil. I tend to safe this for travel as it is so small and compact. I used the same serum morning and night which is The Body Shop Aloe Protective Serum (review) I love this as is packs seriously hydration which was needed. I had a sample of the REN Vita Mineral Day Cream which I also used morning and night. Finally I had to bring my Nuxe Reve De Miel lip balm as my lips feel so chapped if I don't use this.
MORNING ROUTINE:

Another Avene mini which came in handy was one of the Cleanance Gel Cleanser, this isn't my favourite but is okay to use when my skin is feeling oily. I depotted my Garnier Soothing Vitamin Enriched Toner to safe space. I brought my usual morning eye cream which is the Soap & Glory Puffy Eye Attack Turbo Boost Hydra-Gel, this came in handy in making my eyes looking less tired as did my eye drops. As I mentioned I used the same serum and moisturiser morning and night to safe space but I also brought my La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ to use on any blemishes which I didn't end up needing.

So that is a very basic travel skincare routine. This may still seem like a lot of products but I find if I don't use a good routine even when i'm away for a night I notice a huge difference in my skin. What tips or product do you use when staying away for a few nights?
