The Best Travel Friendly Beauty Staples For Your Next Trip

Travel Beauty Essentials To Get You Through The Holidays

With the holiday season around the corner, we all start booking our trips away for the ultimate relaxation experience and reset to prepare us for what the following year has to bring. The adrenaline and excitement of booking flights, accommodation and constructing an itinerary always gives us something to look forward to. However, leading up to the final days before you depart, the not so exciting part approaches - packing. A universally dreaded experience as making sure you have packed all the essentials while still maintaining a luggage weight under the limit is all so very stressful! Fear no more, as we show you how to simplify your packing routine and recommend the best travel friendly beauty staples to make the process easy and stress-free!

Best Skincare To Bring On A Plane

If you have ever travelled by plane, you’ll know that sitting for long periods of time in small seats can be an uncomfortable experience, not to mention, that your skin also becomes incredibly dry and gut goes out of whack. Unfortunately we can’t change the seats, but we can elevate your skincare routine specifically for preventing the dry skin and gut changes that comes along with low cabin pressure and humidity. The Sodashi Jet Lag Recovery Travel Kit works to boost digestion and mental clarity on long haul flights. Ease the symptoms of jetlag and refresh the skin with these products that are travel sized, making them perfect for slipping into your hand luggage. To combat dry skin, skincare products for dehydrated skin are a must. Pamper yourself on the plane with sheet mask skin care to give your skin a boost of hydration. The Omnilux Hydrogel Facial Mask is the perfect single-use mask for hydrating and nourishing the skin for extra plumpness. Follow with an Omnilux Mini Skin Corrector for the ultimate skin care and self care combination on your next flight. 

Best Travel Skincare Products 

With changes in climates, it’s essential that you are looking after your skin while you travel. We love natural skincare products for travelling as, without a doubt, these ingredients will always absorb easily into the skin no matter where you are or what you’re doing. The Mukti Organics Essential Hero Collection contains three of their best selling and award winning skincare products, that work harmoniously together making it perfect for on-the-go. Including a gentle exfoliant and Vitamin C to protect the skin from environmental aggressors. An intensive moisturiser is also a must when travelling, which is why the included Mutki Organics Marigold Hydrating Creme is a skin saviour as the combination of natural nourishing ingredients leave the skin soothed and luminous. 

Best Makeup Remover For Travel

Now we all know that booking a trip away means a busy itinerary, and with that you might be neglecting your regular skincare and self care practices as you scramble for time. The Jane Iredale Magic Mitt will transform your routine while travelling, as this product makes cleansing your skin so much easier. Simply use this with water and with just one clean wipe, your makeup has been removed and skin has been gently exfoliated, saving you minutes at the beginning and end of each day. 

Best Sunscreen For Travel

Another travel beauty staple is a good quality skincare sunscreen. SPF is most arguably the most important skin protective measure to include in your routine when travelling, especially if you are heading somewhere tropical with the sun blazing. Sunscreen is crucial for every day use regardless of the activities planned. Now you might be thinking… Do you still need sunscreen if you are spending the day indoors? The answer is, yes! UV rays are super smart and are able to penetrate through glass and other materials to reach your skin. If you want to maintain your healthy glow while you are on holiday, sunscreen will do just that as SPF prevents long term negative impacts caused by the sun such as premature aging, pigmentation and fine lines. An on-the-go travel sized sunscreen makes remembering to apply SPF daily on your trip away even easier, that’s why the Aspect Sun Envirostat On The Go SPF50 is great for travelling. A beautiful formula that offers high protection, sits comfortably on the skin and does not leave a greasy residue unlike other generic brands, this travel beauty staple makes applying sunscreen an enjoyable experience rather than a dreaded one. 

Best Travel Haircare Products

The health of your hair can easily be compromised while travelling due to being out of your regular routine, climate changes, as well as changes in the water quality. Ensuring that you have a good quality, hydrating hair mask to replenish the moisture in your hair is essential. The K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask 5ml is the perfect travel-size solution. Not only does this hair treatment mask save you time by repairing bonds in as little as 4 minutes, but the packaging offers 3 uses which is all you need for a trip away. Alongside a good quality mask that deeply hydrates your hair, ensuring that you have an all-rounder shampoo and conditioner that is suitable for any hair type and condition. The Al.ive Body Hair & Body Travel Pack is the ultimate travel beauty essential that includes hair shampoo and hair conditioner, as well as luxurious body wash and lotion. This convenient set uses natural ingredients to keep all hair and skin types skin looking fresh and amazing while on holiday this festive season. 

Finally, the greatest way to maintain your hair health is to incorporate hair treatment oils and serums. The Typebea G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum 10ml is the ultimate overnight hair health and growth serum for longer and stronger strands. This product will work hard at preventing hair loss and rejuvenating the scalp amongst all your holiday activities. In a travel-size bottle, you no longer have to neglect your regular hair care routine while you’re on holiday. 

Best Travel Hair Straightener

The biggest challenge of them all when it comes to packing your beauty routine essentials is what to do with your hair styling tools. They take up so much space in your luggage and can easily add an extra kilogram or two, but you can’t spend every day of your entire holiday with bad hair! That is where Stellar saves the day. Multifunctional products are game changers when travelling, which is why the Stellar Omnia Styler Plus is the perfect travel beauty staple as it can straighten or curl. Not only that, but it is extremely lightweight and comes with a protective travel case. Because it is travel-friendly, bad hair days are no more with Stellar stylers, especially when travelling.

Refillable Beauty For Travelling

If you have booked a long trip and need to stock up on your favourite beauty products to ensure you don’t fall short on your holy grails, refillable beauty for travelling is a must. Not only does this promote sustainability by reducing waste, but you’ll also save the space and weight that comes along with packing bottles and bottles of product. Stocking up on skincare such as the Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel Refill and Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Refill make topping up on your favourite products extremely easy and efficient when travelling. By using much less plastic, you choose more sustainable practices, while still getting the same benefits of using your favourite skincare while on holiday - it’s a win-win!
