Travel with Intention
The best way to prep for a trip is not to over prepare but rather prepare with intention. The first step is sorting out options that cater to the climate. With those curated options, I then cross reference the trip itinerary and ensure all products are pertinent to all aspects of the trip.
Skin Maintenance
When you think of Tulum the first thing that comes to mind is the clear beautiful water. I knew most of my Tulum getaway would consist of sunbathing and being in the water. Because of this, I prioritized packing products that protect skin from the tropical climate, during the trip and after. I brought three sunscreens — Supergoop!

Chanel Eyeshadow-Blending Brush
Chanel Eyeshadow in a not yet released color (will link similar products below)
Lips
Face
Chanel Beauty Highlight and Bronze set (not yet released)

My cleanser of choice to remove makeup and debris from the day and calm my skin was the Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser
For moisturizer I brought along something light but hydrating — Susanne Kaufmann – Intensive Cold Cream, 50ml – Colorlessand mixed in True Botanicals Vitamin C Booster Skin Care Serumto repair my skin and stimulate collagen production.
