TRAVEL COMPANIONS

A new way to clean

In our travel totes this long weekend we’ll be packing towelettes, our new beauty bag must-have. Used to freshen our seemingly melting faces during a long drive to the cottage or add a much-needed boost of SPF at the beach, these are not your run-of-the-mill moist cloths.

1. If you’re caught out in the woods, get rid of grime with NIP+FAB Clean Wipes ($9.95, nipandfab.com, available at Shoppers Drug Mart), containing ginseng to balance and revitalize skin, while marshmallow soothes and softens.

2. Garnier Refreshing Remover Cleansing Towelettes ($5.99, garnier.ca) wake up skin with natural ingredients including green leaf extract to soothe and refresh skin.

3. Needing some protection from the sun, Dermalogica Solar Defense Wipes SPF 15 ($28.60, dermalogica.ca) are hygienic, pre-moistened sunscreen wipes for face and body that eliminate the need for creams.

4. Makeup brushes can easily pick up dirt, so stash Sephora Collection Express Cleansing Wipes ($11, sephora.ca) to clean brushes before use and avoid swiping those germs all over your face.

5. For faces that are easily irritated, try Olay Wet Cleansing Cloths for sensitive skin ($9.99, olay.ca), with aloe, natures most famous calming agent.
