SHANGHAI, CHINA

“Shanghai is one of my favourite cities to visit —I’ve been going there almost once a year for the past decade. As the climate is generally humid, I don’t really have to worry about my skin getting too dry. However, air pollution is a problem and can cause my skin to look dull, so I always pack face masks to give it an instant radiance boost. I leave Sulwhasoo’s Radiance Energy Mask on overnight to purify and strengthen my skin while I sleep. I also make sure to pack long-lasting lipsticks that will last through a night out spent sipping cocktails. I like Dior’s Rouge Dior Liquid because the colour pigments are super-intense, yet it feels lightweight and lasts all night.”
PARIS, FRANCE

“Every time I’m in Paris for fashion week, I’m juggling a jam-packed schedule. Having to rush between shows, showroom appointments, interviews and endless meetings, I try to keep my routine simple yet effective. I always carry a face mist to help hydrate my skin, and Skin Inc’s Pure Serum Mist is my latest obsession because it’s full of hyaluronic acid and soothing minerals. I also pack a gentle body lotion because my skin is prone to dryness. As its name suggests, Jurlique’s Refreshing Body Lotion Citrus nourishes and soothes without leaving a greasy film over skin. Chanel’s Coromandel is my finishing touch—I spritz it on and I’m set for the entire day. Its notes of incense, amber, benzoin and dry woods linger on for hours, and I always get lovely compliments.”
NEW YORK, USA

“To be honest, I think I secretly thrive on the chaos of New York City. Each time I visit the Big Apple, there is never a dull moment. With an endless list of things to do, from shopping to museum-hopping, sleep isn’t exactly a priority. Codage’s Day Cream is a lightweight moisturiser packed with vitamins to revitalise my complexion, so my skin looks well-rested. As my skin tends to get dry when I’m travelling, I apply Crabtree & Evelyn’s ultra-nourishing Goatmilk & Oat Body Cream at night, and also keep Chanel’s La Crème Main in my bag for smooth skin on-the-go.”

“I’m a fan of the outdoors, and the last thing I want to do—whether it’s in the game reserves spotting elephants or running a marathon—is worry about my beauty routine. I keep things pared down with just sunscreen and a touch of matte-finish foundation to even out my skin tone and minimise excess shine. I like Laneige’s Light Sun Fluid SPF 50+ PA+++ because it goes on smoothly and feels totally weightless. It’s also handy to bring around and reapply throughout the day. At night, I massage a few drops of Jurlique’s Skin Balancing Face Oil into my skin to replenish any lost moisture.”

“As someone who loves the sun and the sea, a beach getaway is my favourite way to relax and unwind. Needless to say, sunscreen is a must, but I also bring along a hydrating serum because my skin tends to feel dry after a day spent frolicking in the sea. For sundown cocktails and dinner, I look to Burberry Beauty’s Warm Glow Bronzer to enhance my tan and a spritz of Berdoues’ Vânira Moorea EDP for a burst of exoticism.” ■
