3 Beauty Products Dr. Humphrey Would Take to a Desert Island
You’ve likely asked a doctor what they would do if they were in your shoes. It’s one of the most common questions I get. So often when I’m advising my patients on a combination treatment program, or new at-home skincare regimen, they want to know what I use to feel my best.
I thought I would have some fun with this, and talk about the three beauty products I would take with me to a desert island — my absolute musts.
Now I know you’re probably thinking that sunscreen is no doubt at the top of my list. But in my eyes, sunscreen isn’t a beauty product; it’s an everyday skincare fundamental. If I were going to pack sunscreen among my three allotted beauty products, I would take ColoureScience Sunforgettables — for its ease of use and flexibility, or Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Stick — for its staying power, even through the sweatiest workouts. But, since I’m not counting sunscreen towards my beauty product limit, that still leaves me room to pack three more things…
- Organic coconut oil
The first thing I would pack is organic coconut oil. Coconut oil is incredibly versatile; it can be a moisturizer, a lip gloss, even a cuticle lubricant. It smells great, it’s relaxing and it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It’s a no brainer. - A favourite fragrance
Next up, I would make space for a special fragrance. To me, a fragrance is a little slice of relaxation, self-indulgence and self-care. It brings me so much pleasure, and boosts my mood. Some of my favourites include Byredo’s Bibliothèque, Bal d’Afrique and Gypsy Water. - Latisse for my lashes
Assuming I’m not taking any makeup to this desert island, I’m going to want something on hand to help me feel my best — and what’s better than thick, dark, natural-looking lashes and brows to give you a sense of polish even when you’re going makeup-free? Latisse would be the final must-have beauty product on my desert island packing list.
