As a frequent traveler, it can
sometimes be hard to figure out how to cut down on items to bring or find
products that will stand up to the rigors of frequent temperature and humidity
changes. You want to keep your skin looking great, even if it’s sensitive or
acne-prone, like mine is. I am forever looking for a balance between natural
products and those that have additives that will keep my skin issues in check.
Adventuress products use the best ingredients found in nature to bring out the
beauty in your skin.
I received the Adventuress sample tin and
was super excited to try a bunch of products instead of just one or two. In the
tin there are sample sizes of the skin cleanser, purifier, moisturizer, facial
wipes and sunscreen wipes. If you want to test out their line, this is the best
way to do it…and then when you buy the larger sizes, hang onto your little
sample pots to take with you on your trips.
The first thing I noticed when
I opened the facial products was that they were odorless. That’s really one of
my pet peeves when it comes to stuff I’m going to put on my face, because a lot
of beauty products have added smells and with that normally comes extra
breakouts or the odor is way too perfume-y. I am not a fan. You can also see
that they don’t have added color either.
Let’s talk about value. A
little goes a long way with all three of these products. That means you get
your money’s worth. You don’t need to use a ton of any of it to do the job and
that is a plus. It means that little sample pot could easily last you two weeks
on vacation and save room in your 3-1-1 bag for something you need more room
for…or just travel lighter. Of course, all of their “full size” products are
also perfectly suited for travel, too. All are 2 oz. or less, so you can easily pop them into your liquids bag or throw into your purse when you’re on the go.
What I think
 |
| Clockwise from top: cleanser, purifier, moisturizer |
The
Naturally Liberating Skin Cleanser
is one of the loveliest cleansers you will use on your face. It is lightweight
and fluffy and has the consistency of mousse. It clears away dirty while being
gentle and silky on your skin. You don’t feel like you need to keep scrubbing
your face with it and you genuinely feel like your face is squeaky clean. It
uses Boswellian bark “tears” (read – sap) that is the best anti-irritant found
to date and helps to calm down inflammations, like acne, and soothe sunburns.
In
your beauty routine, you probably use a facial toner. Replace that with the Skin Purifier and you won’t miss it
any. It uses quince seed to help your skin retain its moisture and is
lightweight and invigorating as a base layer after cleansing.
Follow
up your super clean, purified skin with a layer of moisturizer that will help
the purifier do its job with the Boldly
Nourishing Moisturizer that has antioxidants and more anti-irritants, plus
super moisturizers like evening primrose. My skin soaked it right up and held onto the feeling of freshly moisturized skin all night
when I used it in the evening and even kept my face from drying out during the
day when I wore makeup over it, too. It is sufficiently thick for applications,
but feels like your face is bare once you apply it to your skin. Imagine my
surprise to know that it is also a great anti-aging moisturizer, because it
improves your skin’s texture and reduces wrinkles and, because it’s full of
amazing natural ingredients, if you use it a bunch of times during the day, it
can only work better.
You
know I hate having to pack a bottle of sunscreen and then chance it coming open
mid-flight and spilling all over everything in my 3-1-1 bag. I don’t want to
get to my destination and have to play clean-up crew, or scrape it off
everything and either slather it on or figure out how to get it back in the
container so it’s not a waste. The answer? Sunscreen
Wipes! They are totally mess-free. Even easier? Ones that have a finger
pocket to help you get an even application and keep it even less messy.
The
Adventuress sunscreen is non-oily, odor-free and water-resistant. That means
it’s as perfect to use on your legs as it is your face, plus it has 30 SPF. They are awesome for everyday use, but if you are going to the beach, you may need to use more than one for enough coverage - or invest in the travel pump of sunscreen. A
box of wipes contains 24. Throw them in your day bag when traveling and never
worry about being out of sunscreen or having a big soggy mess ever, no matter
how much you toss your bag around.

| Finally, you don't feel like you need to cut your facial wipe in half. |
Ever
feel like you just want to wash your face and crawl into bed after a long day
of sightseeing or an endless flight? Yeah, me too. I am a sucker for those
facial wipes, but not all of them are created equal. Try the Fearlessly Refreshing Facial Wipes
and you may not
look back. At half the dimensions of a typical facial wipe, they are just the
right size and they are so cooling and pick up dirt you didn’t even know was
there. I swiped one across my face after a shower and came away with a wipe
covered in facial oils and grunge when I thought my face was clean.
It’s
odorless and individually packaged, so also a great thing to toss into your
bag, whether you’re going to the gym or spending the day at the zoo with the
kids. You don’t have to just use it on your face, either. The hydrating wipe is
biodegradable and would be nice and refreshing when out at a theme park on a
hot day that makes you feel grimy and you don’t have time to go back to the
hotel to clean up. I wish I had these on my last trip to Disney when an
unforeseen heat wave made me feel covered in dirt after just being out for a
few hours.
I’m
so excited for Adventuress to now be part of my travel routine. I know it’s
going to make my life a lot easier and keep my skin looking great even when the
elements are trying to wreak havoc on it. It can do the same for you, whether
you’re a business traveler, backpacker or just an active parent. Men as well as
women can benefit from the ingredients that make up Adventuress products. They are high-quality and can still
be owned for a fraction of the cost of similar name-brand items on the market.
Start with the sample tin and, once you’re hooked, move up to the larger sized
products. You’ll want to use them everywhere you go and at home.
