The U Beauty Spring Break Edit
The U Beauty Spring Break Edit
Your carry-on space is limited, but solid skincare is nonnegotiable. We’ve paired your spring break spot—from quintessential Cabo San Lucas to up-and-coming Santa Teresa—because glowing skin somehow looks even better on vacation.
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico: The PLASMA Set
Located on the eternally sunny tip of Baja California, the one-and-only Cabo delivers any time of the year, but March is prime baby-whale watching season, for the curious. Whether you’re reenacting your junior year spring break at Mango Deck or opting for a slightly more relaxed escape, consider The PLASMA Set your essential match. Packed with ceramides and peptides, this sellout plumping formula gifts lips with natural-looking volume and contour: Featuring minis in rich burgundy Cassis for tapas at Mamazzita, shimmering Sunset for a golden hour cruise along the Sea of Cortes, and full-size glassy-clear Universal to seamlessly shift into every mood in between.
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica: The Body Travel Set
Quick, buy a house before it’s too commercial. Santa Teresa is an effortless surf town off the Southern coast of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. If you can get past how difficult it is to get here without a private jet, you’re all freed up for activities—rent an ATV, go horseback riding, spot monkeys, visit a yoga studio, or just stroll around. Of course, you’d be remiss to forget your paperback copy of “The Spectator Bird,” a straw hat that blurs the line between bohemian and unbearable, and The Body Travel Set. Two carry-on ready saviors work to exfoliate and hydrate for dewy skin with a post-dip glow. We won’t tell anyone you don’t know how to swim.
Palm Beach, Florida: The SUPER Intensive Face Oil
Head off to ritzy Palm Beach for a chic, preppy getaway that touts it all—culinary excellence, glossy green golfing, the mecca of Worth Avenue, post-war Art Deco architecture, and palm-lined toasty beaches. Palm Beach knows leisure like no other—same with The SUPER Intensive Face Oil: Anti-aging benefits meet a go-anywhere glow, courtesy of this oil-hydrator by hybrid, strategically formulated with natural astaxanthin, botanical extract, vegan squalene, and more. And it looks really good too—think ethereal sheen as you sip a crushed-ice Arnold Palmer, poolside at The Breakers.
Monte Carlo, Monaco: The SUPER Tinted Hydrator
Descend at this splurge-worthy seaside principality just in time for the Rolex Masters in April or the Grand Prix in May. Or, choose a quieter time ahead of high season to indulge in one of the many Michelin-starred restaurants dotting the coast. Grab a natural orange wine at Capri-style cliffside Club La Vigie, then pivot to gambler’s paradise, Casino de Monte Carlo. Balance out hedonistic hours with a skin tint that actually nourishes your skin—like The SUPER Tinted Hydrator, formulated to give you skin that looks and feels healthier, even after you take it off. While we can’t guarantee your luck at roulette, count on the STH for a light, airbrushed, second-skin finish. Radiant alone—even better underneath the incandescent French Riviera sunrise.
Aspen, Colorado: Multimodal Defender Broad Spectrum SPF 30
The Rocky Mountains are calling. Being in Aspen post-daylight savings means extra playtime atop sun-drenched slopes. Glide straight from the slopes into the coolest après in the nation repeat (or retreat) as desired. But don’t let the alpine wind chills fool you—even on the cloudiest days, the sun’s power is unmatched. Naturally, you’ve got the Multimodal Defender SPF 30 on hand for unprecedented defense against UVA, UVB, infrared and blue light rays. Bonus: This sun treatment also flaunts built-in brightening benefits, which means it simultaneously works to visibly reduce discoloration and dark spots. Shine bright like a (black) diamond.
Zion National Park, Utah: The BARRIER Bioactive Treatment
Camping… glamping… hibernating in the humble suites of the neighborhood Amangiri? Picture this: You and your travel companion of choice, sipping crisp Pascal Cotat Sancerre in a private plunge pool. Draped in Villeneuve-approved garb, your view slowly consumes you: the secluded sprawl of Utah’s dunes, plateaus, ridges. Slip into full incognito mode vis-à-vis the raw aesthetic of the Wild West—and the early bedtime that comes with it. Complement such a stay with an equally restorative overnight treatment, like The BARRIER Bioactive Treatment, a transformative cream that leverages bioactive marine ingredients to optimize normal skin renewal while you sleep—for visibly plumper, suppler skin by morning.
Tokyo, Japan: The Index Set
Cherry blossoms for spring? Groundbreaking. March 20th marks the start of Sakura Season—Cherry Blossom Season—in Tokyo. Regardless of your actual inclination for nature, the full bloom is an immaculate backdrop whether you choose to eat your heart out in omakase, immerse yourself in meditative Tennoji Temple, shop til you drop in Shibuya 109, or bag niche Takeshita Street presents (your gift-giver status just skyrocketed). Enter The Index Set for a synergistic day-to-night routine that’s as versatile as your itinerary. Complete with face wash, 8-in-1 serum, moisturizer, overnight cream—each in travel-ready 10mL. Since you’ll need to save lots of suitcase space.
