Every time I leave Los Angeles, I find myself wishing I could pack up a little piece of sunshine and bring it home with me. There’s something about the city—maybe it’s the golden light, maybe it’s the way the air feels warm no matter the season—that always makes me think of endless summer.
I’m lucky enough to travel there fairly often, at least once a quarter for board meetings, and a few more times throughout the year for work. Honestly, I don’t mind the frequent trips. Especially when New York is bundled in snow and ice, escaping to LA feels like the most welcome reset. That warmth has a way of following me home—not through the weather, but through a little beauty ritual I’ve learned to rely on.
A Glow You Can Pack in Your Bag
This winter, instead of simply dreaming of California sun, I’ve discovered a way to bottle it—well, three little bottles to be exact. Enter: the Biossance Endless Glow Set.
I’ve been a loyal fan of Biossance for over three years now, and while I’d love to bring my entire skincare shelf along on every trip, it’s not exactly practical. That’s why I adore their curated sets. They’re like a travel-sized cheat sheet for radiant, healthy skin.
When Biossance asked me to share my must-haves, the products I never travel without, the choice was easy. These three essentials are my go-to’s for keeping skin fresh, hydrated, and glowing no matter where I am.
The Three Power Players
1. Squalane + Phyto-Retinol Serum
Think of this as your skin’s gentle overachiever. It delivers all the benefits of retinol—smoother skin, fewer fine lines—without the irritation that often comes with it. After just a few weeks of use, I noticed a real difference in texture and brightness. It’s powerful, plant-based, and perfect for both travel and daily routines.
2. Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
If your skin craves comfort in the colder months, this is it. The cream has a rich, buttery feel, yet it never feels heavy or greasy. Instead, it sinks in beautifully, leaving skin nourished, soft, and plump. For me, this is the ultimate winter moisturizer—the kind of product that feels like a cozy blanket for your skin.
3. Squalane + Micronutrient Fine Mist
This one’s my little secret weapon. While it’s designed as a refreshing hydration mist, I use it in a slightly unconventional way: I spritz my makeup sponge before applying foundation. The result? A soft, dewy finish that looks fresh all day long. Of course, I also use it as a mid-day pick-me-up when my skin feels a bit parched. It’s versatile, lightweight, and instantly uplifting.
Together, these three create the Endless Glow Set—a trio that works seamlessly to hydrate, smooth, and add that luminous finish we all crave.
How I Use Them
Whether I’m home or traveling, my routine with this set stays the same. In the morning and at night, I apply the serum right after cleansing. Next comes the Omega Repair Cream, which locks everything in and gives my skin the nourishment it needs, especially in the winter.
To finish, I add a quick misting of the Fine Mist—sometimes twice if I’m about to apply foundation. That little spritz on my makeup sponge has become my favorite hack for achieving a natural, radiant look.
It’s quick, it’s easy, and it feels indulgent in the best way.
The Perfect Gift
Beyond being great for travel, the Endless Glow Set makes an amazing holiday gift. The travel-friendly sizes are ideal for slipping into stockings, and they’re also a perfect introduction for anyone new to Biossance. Each product is a standout on its own, but together they create a routine that feels both simple and luxurious.
If you’ve been looking for a way to give someone (or yourself!) a little slice of sunshine this season, this set is it.
Final Thoughts
Even though I can’t physically carry LA’s sunshine back to New York, this little trio is the next best thing. It captures that effortless glow, that easy warmth, and makes it part of my everyday ritual.
I’m so grateful to have found products that work this beautifully, and even more grateful to share them with you.
Here’s to glowing through the colder months ahead—no matter where you are.
And a special thank you to Biossance for partnering with me on this post and for creating products that truly make a difference in my routine.
