GO BIG ON

PRODUCTS

FOR YOUR

BODY

Katy Young,

Global Group Beauty

Director, Harper’s

Bazaar and Elle

I’m renowned for having the

smallest bag on work trips:

anything less than three days and

I don’t check in a bag. I decant

everything into muji’s stacking

pots (from £2.95 for five, muji.

co.uk) and hoard minis swiped

from good hotels.

my make-up kit is mini, too:

nars Velvet matte Lip Pencils

(£22, narscosmetics.co.uk) — I

take one in dolce Vita, a suits-

everyone nude, and another in a

clean fresh red. I also love their

2-in-1 bronzer and blusher, and

take Chanel’s diddy sample

mascaras, along with a Kevyn

Aucoin Sensual Skin enhancer

(£38, lookfantastic.com) concealer

that doesn’t need a powder.

If I’m away for a week or more,

I’ll try to have a bit of fun. It gives

me the chance to stop seeing

beauty as a job and enjoy it as a

consumer, so I’ll always pack my

make-up and beauty products

first and see how much room I

have left for my clothes rather

than the other way round.

I’ve just been to normandy for a

week with my family and my bag

weighed 20kg, with at least half

the space taken up by three mas-

sive wash bags. I hardly wore

most of the clothes but I used

every single beauty product.

I often take new things I’ve been

meaning to try. most

recently I tested the cult

US-Korean Venn range

(from £55, netaporter.

com). I’ll always skip

ingredients that might

cause a reaction, such

as enzymes, acids

and retinoids, but I’ll

load up on products

that are based on

hyaluronic acid, vita-

mins or minerals.

I’ll never compromise

on fragrance, hand

cream and suncare. I

like a fragrance that can create a

cool, grounding space around

you when everything is hot and

muggy. Acqua di Parma oud

(£119.95, allbeauty.com) is a

musky leather scent with citrus

notes. everyone who smells it

thinks it’s lovely.

Chanel’s Hand Cream (£45,

johnlewis.com) in its clever egg-

shaped dispenser is always with

me as it’s non-sticky, and for

suncare I’m obsessed with the

Vichy Solar Protective waters

(£19, vichy.co.uk), they go on

much more lightly than an oil.

I use SPF on my face all year

round but up the ante when I’m

in the sun. This year I’ve enjoyed

using the revive SPF50 (£90,

spacenk.com), which is really

light as well as a nice primer.

I read that Brazilian women

think about the skin on their feet

as much as their face. I think we

Brits generally don’t consider

anything from the neck down.

Holidays are a really good time

to make a bit more effort. That

extra ten minutes spent applying

after-sun when you’ve showered

off the sand is the perfect oppor-

tunity to get into a new routine.

After-sun is so important from an

anti-inflammatory point of view,

but I also think it’s a nice ritual,

that transition from day at the

beach to night out that makes

you feel like you’re on holiday. It

doesn’t have to be a dedicated

after-sun: I find the Botanico Vida

omega oil (£18.50, botanicovida.

com) really soothing.

DON’T FUSS

ABOUT

BEAUTY

Newby Hands,

Global Beauty Director,

Net-a-Porter

I’m definitely maximal, not mini-

mal. You need more stuff on

holiday to combat sun, chlorine

and salt water — but there’s also

the pleasure factor to think of.

one of my favourite times is

what I call the beauty cocktail

hour. when you come back from

the beach, wash off the sand and

the SPF, cool down and have

some time to relax, have a drink

and just sit and — hopefully —

watch the sun setting over the

ocean. It’s also a great time to use

a (chilled) face mask, put on a

hair mask and just do nothing but

enjoy the moment.

I take a sheet mask for every

night I’m away. on my last trip it

was the Joanna Vargas ones (£60

for five, netaporter.com) and erno

Laszlo (from £55 for four,

netaporter.com). I keep them in a

fridge or mini bar. I recall being

told it’s not just UV that causes

damage but heat, so you want to

take the heat out of your skin.

I’ve heard so many dermatolo-

gists say they notice people’s

skin is more clogged after sum-

mer because they use so

much SPF, so I don’t think

you should skimp on cleanser

— I use the omorovicza

Cashmere Cleanser (£49,

omorovicza.com).

I’m a fan of estee

Lauder’s Advanced

night repair and so

always take that in some

form — ampoules (£89,

esteelauder.co.uk) are

great, as you can take as

many as you need. And

I’m addicted to the

Costa Brazil Kaya Face

oil (£115, netaporter.

com), which sinks in and

isn’t greasy.

when it comes to

suncare, I use Sisley,

never anything less than SPF30,

and I always apply it in the room

before I put my bikini on. It was

something dermatologist nick

Lowe told me to do because by

the time you’ve got to the beach,

laid out a towel, ordered a drink

and sat down, you’ve already been

in the sun 30 minutes.

I use Institut esthederm After

Sun repair (£36.50, spacenk.com)

— after-sun is anti-inflammatory

and antioxidant so a really good

anti-ageing product that I con-

tinue to use at home. As a result,

my skin is often better at the end

of the summer than at the begin-

ning. oh, and I always take away

a good self tan — I love the Tan

Luxe (tan-luxe.com) range.

In-flight beauty has become a

competitive sport: people take

Led masks on flights for good-

ness sake. It’s great for Instagram

but I’d rather watch a film, have a

glass of wine and sleep.

I also think sheet masks and

hyaluronic acid on flights can

actually cause moisture to be

sucked out of your skin and into

the air. Instead I use an oil, which

acts as a barrier, and drink a lot of

water. The de mamiel Altitude

oil (£30, demamiel.com) is an

energising blend of essential oils

which I swear helps protect

against airborne bugs, so I put

some under my nose.

CLEANSERS

I neVer travel ‘hand luggage

only’. I like the idea of decanting

things but I’m always so busy

before I go away that I just run

out of time. I also worry I’ll get my

labels muddled up and end up

with body lotion on my hair!

Plus some products, such as

vitamin C serums, are in airtight

packaging to stop the active

ingredients degrading, so if you

decant them you could be ruining

them. I’d rather pack full size

in my case than try to shove

everything into those ridiculous

plastic bags.

The only things in my hand

luggage are lip balm — I have

dozens, but always nuxe reve de

miel (£6, uk.nuxe.com); concealer

— the Bare minerals Complexion

rescue Hydrating Foundation

Stick (£29, bareminerals.co.uk)

doubles as a concealer and

foundation; blotting papers — I

like erborian’s Black Paper (£8,

uk.erborian.com), which remove

shine without messing up your

make-up; and tinted SPF —

Lancaster Sun Perfect SPF 50

(£30, debenhams.com) is light-

weight and matte and evens out

skin tone — just in case my luggage

doesn’t appear the other end.

And finally, I panic if I don’t have

a magnifying mirror on me. I’d

have to buy one if I forgot as

must

THREE

STEPS TO

DELICIOUS

✁

CUT OUT AND KEEP

3 tbsp COCOA POWDER

FUDGE BITES

1. Line a small square baking
   tray (approx 18-20cm) with tin
   foil, making sure you press it
   neatly down into the edges to
   give sharp corners.


2. Put all the ingredients into
   a saucepan over a medium
   heat. Keep heating, stirring
   constantly, for around
   10 minutes. You may need a
   whisk to get rid of any lumps
   of cocoa powder. The mixture
   should start bubbling and
   thickening; you’ll know it’s
   ready when you can draw a
   line through the base of the
   pan and it takes a few seconds
   to flow back together.


3. Tip it into the prepared
   baking tray. Transfer to the
   fridge for at least an hour until
   the mixture is set.


4. Using a sharp, damp knife,
   cut it into squares and place
   each in a petit four case. The
   bites are best refrigerated and
   will keep for a week.

Yummy recipes from

just 3 ingredients.

This week:

ONE of the most precious gifts holidays give us is

time — to spend with loved ones, catch up on

sleep, and indulge in the hair masks, body oils and

foot scrubs we never use at home. To find out

which beauty products should make the cut,

CLAIRE COLEMAN quizzed the women who literally

write the book — well, the magazines. They’re the

beauty directors of the UK’s top glossy magazines

and try more products in a year than most of us

will in a lifetime. Their choices aren’t just an expert

travel edit, they are a window into what’s worth

buying all year round...
