I am in the middle of a three-week beauty adventure in France and Italy, currently in Paris for the week. True, this is not exactly the roughest experience, but packing for three weeks and leaving room for all my newly discovered products is, indeed, tricky. How many of my most critical skin care products come in tiny travel sizes and will they last me the whole time? What if I have a fromage-triggered breakout? And, at what point in our insanely busy schedule of shoot after shoot, can I stop and take a moment to reset just like I would at home?

Thankfully, this Sunday I have cleared my day to just do nothing. I have a nice big bathtub in my hotel room to relax in and then I can get started on my skin and hair routine so I can start tomorrow super fresh for our flight to Milan. Below are a few of my old and new favorites from my suitcase including a tiiiiiny Biologique Recherche P50 and a shampoo I can’t get back at home in New York.

René Furterer Melaleuca Shampoo: In Paris, I visited the René Furterer Institut where they use a microscopic camera to look at your scalp. I learned that I do not cleanse my scalp thoroughly enough (ugh), but it can leave a layer of build up on the scalp that inhibits hair growth. This is an intense every other week deep cleansing shampoo to help. Turns out, however, you can’t get it back home in the US, so I’m checking in my bag with a full size bottle.
