Prepare your toiletry bag with everything you need
First thing: a fragrance that you like. Coco Chanel said that a woman without perfume is a woman without a future. We don't think it's that bad, really, but we do believe in the power that a few drops of our favorite fragrance have to make us feel good. Perhaps in your toiletry bag you can carry the one you use most frequently, the "guerrilla" one, and reserve the perfumes for special occasions.

Getting a beauty arsenal with products that work and always flatter is much easier than you think. We have selected our favorite basics, those without which to take care of ourselves would be a bit more complicated (and boring). Do you dare to try them?
Beauty basics that work
- Perfume . Wearing a few drops of your favorite perfume is sure to brighten your day and make you feel better. Coco Chanel said that a woman without perfume is a woman without a future and even if it is a bit exaggerated, it is true that it always comes in handy.
- Sunscreen. Protecting your skin from the sun frees you from many ailments, including wrinkles. So, especially now that the radiation begins to be stronger, get a cream with a very high SPF and that is light. Remember to apply it before putting on makeup.
- Blusher . A few touches and your face is transformed, acquires more joy and more luminosity. Apply it with a brush on the apple of the cheeks and blend well.
- Hair oil. It helps you untangle it, gives it shine and also takes care of the ends so that they do not split. The best are coconut, macadamia and argan and can be applied to both wet and dry hair.
- Exfoliant . It is convenient to exfoliate the skin of the face once a week and that of the rest of the body at least once a month to remove dead cells and that the rest of the products that we apply, such as moisturizer, are more effective.
- Lipstick . When in doubt, a red lip always works. It is ideal to give you that extra security in yourself that you need a few days. You will look much prettier in an instant.
