Summer Travel Essentials For Natural Fuss-Free Skincare
It’s the season when many of us will be heading off on holiday for a week or two, and this means the dilemma of what to pack is looming large! One of the most difficult decisions is what skin and haircare products to bring, particularly if you have a multi-step beauty routine involving various bottles and jars.
There’s also the added uncertainty of adjusting to a new climate: sun exposure, salty air, plane cabins and air-conditioned hotel rooms can wreak havoc on your hair and skin. Added to the general excitement and disruption to usual routines, this can really be a recipe for beauty disasters.
However, there is a solution: natural beauty products that are made with vegan organic ingredients are gentle yet effective, and what’s more, many of them are great multi-taskers that can save you room in your luggage. Some of our most popular products are also available in handy travel-sized or refillable packaging as well.
Mini body butters
Hot weather and outdoor activities can lead to dry patches on exposed areas such as the elbows, knees, and shoulders. Our travel-sized tins of natural body butters with organic coconut oil, shea butter and cocoa butter are the perfect way to pamper your skin and keep it soft and supple.
All-purpose balm: one pot, many problems solved
Our all-purpose balm with shea butter, comfrey and vitamins A, E & F is a soothing formula that works hard: it can be used as a lip balm to combat dryness on flights; a hand salve and cuticle cream; an aftersun treatment; a massage balm; or a hair styling product to tame dry flyaway ends.
Lightweight facial oils
Regular moisturisers can feel too heavy in warmer climates when you also want to use sunscreen. Our lightweight facial oils are made with organic ingredients such as jojoba and rosehip, and replenish moisture without adding extra greasiness or clogging pores.
You only need to use a few drops at a time, so you can transfer a small amount of product to a handy lightweight jar. This versatile product also blends well with SPF and can even double up as a makeup primer.
Solid cleansing bars
Solid cleansing bars can be used for washing the face, hands, and body, and they save a huge amount of space in your luggage. What’s more, you won’t have to worry about leaking bottles or airline liquid restrictions. They are ideal for backpackers or anyone who loves to travel light.
Our hamade soap bars contain organic coconut, organic cocoa butter and olive oils, and are enriched with manuka and wild flower honey. They are gentle enough for even sensitive skin, and yet effective at removing impurities, SPF products, and sweat without stripping out essential oils and leaving your skin feeling tight and dry.
What’s more, each bar will last everyday usage for much longer than bottled products, so you can pack for a longer trip without any fear of running out.
Travel tips to stay cool & beautiful
Invest in high quality SPF products that will pair safely with your other beauty products and makeup. If you are prone to sensitive skin, look for mineral based sunscreen such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. These are naturally occurring compounds that reflect or absorb harmful UV rays.
A soothing facial mist is also a holiday hero—a quick spritz will help you to keep cool in hot climates or during stressful moments such as airport transfers. It has the added benefit of being refreshing and also helping to set makeup if you are heading out for evening entertainment.
