1st Aug 2024
Dr. Barbara Sturm’s daughter and brand ambassador Charly Sturm, walks us through what she keeps in her bag, from her signature scent to her favorite sunglasses, and shares her Dr. Sturm skincare essentials. Keep scrolling for details on all her go-to essentials.
The Bag
This tiny Bottega Veneta bag is Charly’s go-to accessory and holds everything she needs for a day in the city.
“I love a small bag because it’s so easy to find everything. I also love the color because it goes with every outfit. It’s definitely an investment piece but it’s just classic and timeless.”
Essentials
Super Anti-Aging Hand Cream
This rich textured cream absorbs quickly, improves elasticity, and prevents the hands from drying out, leaving them soft, supple, and hydrated.
“It sinks in right when you apply it and leaves your hands glowing. I used to never use a hand cream because I found them to be quite sticky but this one gives you pure hydration without any discomfort.”

Lip Balm
Its lightweight, silky texture gives your lips a soft glow and finish while providing essential hydration. Use this multi-use product, like Charly does, to hydrate cuticles too.
“This is a must have in my bag always and I love the mini version - I have one in every bag!”

Glow Drops
These iridescent drops revitalize tired, dull skin and restore radiance to give you the #SturmGlow wherever you are.
“I love to reapply these throughout the day when I feel like my skin is getting dull and needs a little touch up. It gives you an effortless no-makeup look and I use it as a highlighter on my cheekbones. A little goes a long way and sometimes I’ll even apply a drop or two on my legs to give them an extra glow if I’m in shorts or a dress.”

Clarifying Spot Treatment Tinted
This tinted anti-bacterial treatment is essential for your bag. Its anti-bacterial ingredients help soothe irritation and treat blemishes, whilst its tinted formula conceals any redness.
“A life saver especially if I have a spot but also the perfect concealer. When I was struggling with hormonal acne, I’d never leave the house with it (and still don’t!) because you can cover your spots while knowing that they’re also being healed and treated.”

Accessories
Sunglasses
These Persol sunglasses are a timeless shape and fit and match every outfit.
“I live in sunny LA, so I never leave home without these!”
Earphones
Charly’s Apple air pods are the perfect electronic accessory for taking calls wherever she is.
“I am always taking calls on-the-go and these make my life so much easier. I never leave the house without them. I also don’t like putting my phone near my face since I am touching it all day so a set of any earphones is great for my skin too!”
Wallet
This Prada card holder is ideal for tiny bag lovers like Charly as it fits just about anywhere.
“My mom gave me this wallet as a little surprise gift and since then I’ve never changed it. It’s the perfect size yes, but also holds sentimental value.”
Beauty Products
Eyebrow Gel
Charly uses Glossier’s Boy Brow to touch up her eyebrows throughout the day.
“I love a ‘no makeup’ makeup look and this brow gel really defines my brows and keeps them in place without looking cakey or obvious.”
Perfume
Perfume samples are an amazing way to keep fresh and smelling good when you’re out and about. Charly uses a sample size of Byredo’s Bal D’Afrique.
“I love having a signature sent and this smell has been my go-to for years now. It’s bold while still being delicate and fresh.”
Lipstick
This Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick is the perfect daytime color and gives your natural lips a little extra pop.
“This is such a wearable shade and formula and gives me an extra boost of confidence, especially before a meeting or if I want to touch up my face on-the-go.”
