Candace Noonan has a busy travel schedule, as the director of education for DermaConcepts (the distributor of Environ skincare in the U.S.). After 18 years of traversing the country and training professionals, she has mastered a streamlined, effective skin care routine that fits perfectly into a carry-on. With TSA size restrictions and her firm rule of never checking a bag (time is money!), she has curated a regimen that prioritizes both efficacy and convenience.

Candace NoonanCandace NoonanOne of her favorite travel hacks is cleanser sachets. Instead of packing a full-sized bottle, these sachets are lightweight and space-efficient. She also skips toner on the road. It is a small sacrifice to maximize room for her core treatment products—the real heroes that keep her skin glowing and healthy, no matter how hectic her schedule gets. Here she shares with us her travel routine.

Step 1. After a long day of travel or hosting a training session, my first step is always to cleanse my skin thoroughly.

Step 2. I then reach for my trusty Cosmetic Roll-CIT, a microneedling device that enhances product penetration and ensures I’m getting the most out of my routine.

Step 3. For targeted treatment, I focus on the pigmentation on my neck with the Multi-Bioactive Mela-Prep Lotion, which contains Seppiwhite MSH to address discoloration effectively.

Step 4. Next, I mix up my favorite “cocktail” of products. I blend the Tri-Peptide Complex+ Avance DFP312 Elixir, The Hydro-Lipidic 3DSynerge Filler Creme and the HA Intensive Hydrating Serum. This trio is a powerhouse for smoothing fine lines, boosting volume loss and deeply hydrating the skin, leaving it plumped and refreshed.

Step 5. I follow with another cocktail of the Vita-Peptide Intensive Serum 4 Plus and the Vita-Antioxidant Defence Creme Plus. This combination delivers high doses of vitamin A, C, antioxidants, and peptides, helping to firm the skin, boost collagen, and protect against environmental damage.

Step 6 (optional). If I’m traveling to a particularly dry climate, I finish with a Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsule, locking in extra moisture for a luxurious, hydrated feel.

Step 7. Just before bed, I typically complete my routine with the pièce de résistance: the Tri Biobotanical Revival Masque. This overnight mask uses a lower pH to stimulate skin cells to release regenerative growth factors, and its lifting, lightening, and brightening effects ensure that I wake up with rejuvenated, radiant skin, ready for another day.

However, when I have a bit of extra time, I love to switch things up with the DermaConcepts Hyaluronic Rose Collagen Facial Mask. This hydrogel mask melts into the skin with intense hydration, offering an occlusive barrier that helps drive ingredient delivery. It’s a luxurious alternative to the Revival Masque and leaves my skin feeling incredibly nourished and dewy. Whether it’s after a long flight or an extra long day, this mask is my go-to for an extra dose of pampering.

Through my years of traveling and educating others, I’ve found that this well-curated skin care regimen is not just about looking good—it’s about maintaining the health and integrity of my skin, no matter where life takes me.
