This is always in Kiki's suitcase

We recently had a discussion here at the editorial office. If you could choose, what would you prefer: a brand new summer wardrobe or that beautiful trip? Opinions were divided. I probably don't need to explain to you which camp I was in. I choose the trip. Every. Single. Time. (And the wardrobe afterwards, but hey, one can't have it all). My love for the world is addictive. Discovering one more place gives a kick.

When I think back to last month, my passport also does a spontaneous somersault. Starting with Aruba (just check out this video of Lil and me), then off to Portugal with my love and afterwards Iceland with my sister. All that traveling (especially in all those different weather conditions) is downright terror for your skin. Dry airplane air, full sun on your face, seawater, chlorine, sand; you name it.

On Instagram, I regularly get asked what I use for my face. Whether I can reveal ‘the secret’ of the vacation glow. Here it comes: I always have MILU in my suitcase. If you think I'm sneaking people onto the plane, no worries: MILU is the brand name, they are face masks. Correction: the finest face masks I know, inspired by the flawless skin of Korean women. They even won the Astir Award.

They are not only nice to look at, but especially great after a lazy vacation day. Stepping off the plane with a fresh look after a long flight? Take the Hydrogel Eye Patches in your hand luggage. A dry skin after a beach holiday? The Bubble Foam Sheet Mask is your best friend. The Mud Mask is a must-try for the bath by the way. I would say: give it a try, spread the word and enjoy a soft, smooth face all summer long. Be kind to your skin. You can thank me later. You can shop here by the way.

P.S.: Tip number two for a beautiful skin: I always drink a lot of water and wear less makeup lately. I'm a bit tired of that harsh eyeliner this summer and the foundation actually too. You are beautiful just the way you are!
