Yesterday you could read all about me being proud of myself for packing only the skincare essentials (major over-packer here!), but the rest of the toiletries proved to be even more difficult. Not wanting to lugg around a different set of toiletries for everyone, I chose multifunctional over fancy personal preferences, and went for the troupers that work for Mr B, the little ones and me.

The Avène XeraCalm Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil  is the one all rounder that works for everyone in the LeenLovesStyle household. Soft and gentle enough for me and Little Miss C yet thorough enough to get a kid clean after a day outside. Hair is covered by good old Nivea, with a little touch of Aussie for me, I’m taking the 3 Minute Miracle Reconstruction Mask to fix that dried out pool / sun hair situation.  After showering, a lick of  the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+ does wonders for all of us, from Little Miss C’s atopic skin to Mr B’s man’s legs. Also coming on this trip is the Avène SPF 50 High Protection Sunscreen for kids. If it is good enough for the mini me’s, if definitely good enough for me!

A little spritz of the Clarins Eau Des Jardins gives a buzz like no other, am or pm, so if I can only take one perfume with me, this is the best choice:-). A little massage with the Vichy Idéal Soleil After Sun Daily Milk Care before bed, and I am done for the day (and done packing!)
