5 Skin Care Products to Keep at Your Desk

Performing our full-fledged skin care routine is often done at home, upon waking and again before bed, because that’s when we have the most time to dedicate to our skin. But that’s not to say that we can’t give our skin a midday boost while at the office. By storing a few key essentials on your work desk, you can help refresh and revive your skin in between meetings. To that end, read on for five skin care products—from the L’Oreal portfolio of brands—to keep at your desk.

Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water

Give your skin a quick pick-me-up with a few spritzes of this hydrating, mineral-rich facial mist. In addition to a cooling benefit, this thermal water mist can instantly soothe and protect the skin. It’s an instant wake up call for your skin, especially after that 2 p.m. slump. If you’re cramped for space on your desk, opt for the smaller 50g bottle.

Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve 

It’s cold out there, and the effects of the harsh winter climate can start to take its toll on your hands. If your hands feel incredibly dry, apply this hand salve to help replenish moisture. Your hands will feel soft and comfortable.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Towelettes 

Makeup removing towelettes are one of the most practical products to keep on your desk. You can use them to take off your makeup before heading to the gym after work, fix midday makeup smears, or just cleanse your skin without hovering over a sink. Garnier’s all-in-1 towelettes can remove makeup, cleanse, and refresh your skin. Made for all skin types, you can keep this on the corner of your desk without sacrificing too much space.

NYX Professional Makeup #ThisIsEverything Lip Balm 

Dry lips can be really uncomfortable. Worse is not being able to do anything to help soothe them. That’s why you should never be without a lip balm or salve. We love the NYX Professional Makeup #ThisIsEverything Lip Balm as the non-greasy formula is perfect for hydrating your pout quickly and efficiently.

Maybelline FitMe Concealer

While you may apply your face makeup perfectly in the morning before you leave for work, by midday pesky blemishes or dark under eye circles may start to become more noticeable as your concealer fades. If you notice that happening, reach for a concealer conveniently placed on your desk. The Maybelline FitMe Concealer seamlessly blends into skin to hide what nobody needs to see.
