When packing for vacation try not to over-pack. You need to be picky in order to fit everything in a limited space, yet it’s crucial you remember beauty items – especially if you fear you may not be able to find them out there.
We’ve whittled it down to 10 must-have products – take a look below to see what are the summer beauty essentials to take on holiday:
1. Sunscreen
If you take only one item on holiday, let it be this. The summer sun can be brutal on your skin, especially if you’re spending most of your days outside—so it’s important to protect yourself. There is nothing more important when it comes to health and beauty than taking care in the sun.
2. After-sun hydration
After-sun care helps to enhance and prolong your tan, while adding moisture back in. The best solution is a product with aloe vera that will sooth your skin after longtime sun exposure.
3. Facial wipes
After a long day, all you want to do is remove your makeup quickly and easily. Choose biodegradable face wipes with natural ingredients. They’re also great to have in your bag for refreshing your face in the plane, ship or car.
4. Deodorant
A deodorant that will provide 24hr protection is necessary especially for hot days. Choose a fresh scent and make sure it is natural and aluminum free
5. Insect repellant
Keep our little flying friends away with a natural insect repellant based on essential oils.
6. Face mist
There’s nothing worse than your skin feeling hot and sticky on the beach, or dry on the plane. This is where an energy-boosting face spray comes in handy.
7. Hair elixir
We often forget that our hair is also damaged by the sun and sea. Use a hair nourishing product that will leave your hair feeling silky smooth with a healthy, frizz free, glossy shine.
8. Lipstick or lip–gloss
You do not need heavy make-up on holiday. Your skin will get colored by the sun so all you need is a little color in your lips. Choose a bright summer lip shade for your lipstick or just use a lip-gloss for a little shine.
9. Nail polish
This is the season you can do anything with your nails. Choose a colorful shade for your finger and toe nails.
10. Waterproof mascara
If you can’t go anywhere without your mascara, this is the time to get an effective waterproof one. Don’t underestimate the power of humidity and sweat to smudge your look even if you are on dry land.
So make a list of the beauty essentials to take on holiday and leave your worries behind. Happy Holidays!
