And let’s face it: Going on a holiday, especially a city one, often means clocking in at least 15,000 steps, or more, daily, as you visit the various places of interest. It’s why comfy shoes are a definite must. To this, Ya Hui shared that she usually opts for a pair of nice sports shoes or white sneakers that can match easily with any outfit.
Other essentials that she always brings along include a cap to shield from the elements like the rain or sun, or just from “a bad hair day”, as well as an all-in-one bag, like a lightweight backpack that she can store all her necessities, such as umbrella, sunblock, portable charger and camera.
YA HUI’S BEAUTY MUST-HAVES
Just because you’re on holiday doesn’t mean that your skincare routine can take a break too. She keeps her travel beauty arsenal simple with the following:
- A good CC compact foundation. “If you have no time to do a full makeup look, it’s important to at least make your skin tone look even,” she said.
- A lip balm, especially important when visiting dry and cold climates, to keep dry and cracked lips at bay.
- Sunblock to protect skin against harmful UV rays and prevent the formation of hyperpigmentation spots.
- Facial masks. “It’s a must to hydrate the skin after a day out,” she said.
- A face mist to “help retain moisture and make skin glow”.
