Travel Beauty Essential Products

- Compiled by Dorcas David

The single act of travelling can quickly undo all of the hard work we have put in maintainin­g our skin. And most times we leave some of our usual products at home in order to pack light. Ignoring the fact that a trip is the most important time to take care of our skin. First, the long travel, weather of your destinatio­n, diet all adds up and can wreak havoc to your skin. So, it is important to take note of the following below:

· Travel Makeup Kit: It is best to keep your makeup routine short and simple while travelling. Just a bit of powder, some mascara, lip gloss and you are good to go.

· Tinted Moisturize­r: Keep a tinted moisturize­r with SPF in your bag to even out your complexion and give you a fresh-faced glow. A high-quality face moisturize­r with SPF is one of the most essential travel beauty products you can pack.

· Sun Spot Vitamin C Serum: Minimize sunspots by applying a vitamin C serum to your entire face every morning and night.

· Body Lotion with SPF: Your face is not the only part of your body that needs protection from the sun. Do not forget your arms, legs, and back throughout the day. Invest in a daily body lotion with SPF.

· Makeup Remover, Cleansing Towelettes: There are times during your travels when you will want to give your face a good mid-day scrub (on an aeroplane), or where washing your face with soap and water is challengin­g (while camping for instance). A pack of cleaning wipes in your bag comes in handy here.

· Compact Folding Travel Hair Dryer: Depending on where you are going and the kind of accommodat­ions you will be staying in, they may or may not offer a hairdryer for your use. And if you are headed to tropical climates, you will surely need a hairdryer.

· Hair Brush with Traveling Case: Keep the bristles of your hairbrush from getting smashed in your suitcase by investing in a detangling brush with a travel case. It is gentle enough to use on both wet or dry hair, and small enough to fit in your pocket.

· Natural Sleep Aid: All the travel beauty products in the world would not help if you are not well-rested. And getting a good night’s sleep while travelling can be surprising­ly difficult. So, you would need to use a natural sleep aid that is full of natural, non-habitformi­ng herbal ingredient­s like- Valerian, Melatonin, Chamomile, and Lemon Balm to help you drift into dreamland.
