Travel Skincare Essentials

Back in June I wrote a post all about the travel essentials that I always forget and me being me, will still probably forget them! Today, I thought I would share with you the skincare essentials that I just can't not take with me somewhere. These are full size version of products, and have their own little section in my suitcase. These are the skincare bits, that I take along with my makeup cleanser and lip balm. Small travel sets are so handy to keep in hand luggage, like this La Mer set.

                                                                 

So...? Let's Go Away!

One of my favourite things about about going away is the mini products that you get to used. I love buying travel suncream, shampoo, deodorant - basically anything small and cute. Whether this is for a holiday that includes a flight or in the car to the other side of the UK. My latest additions to the mini collection of products are these So...? fragrances*. As a brand So...? made a massive comeback around this time last year and they were and have been featured on here a few times. I have one of them all the time in my work handbag and one in the bathroom too for a morning spritz. Now, just because these are smaller in size, does not mean that they are low on quality. 

Travel Essentials I Always Forget About

Whenever I go away, whether its a weekend away of a holiday there are always products that I forget. ALWAYS. These are the products, I end up buying at duty free, when in my chose destination or leave the house thinking 'I am sure there is something I have forgotten...'. They might not seem the most useful or necessary essentials to carry around but they are very multipurpose.

Hand Luggage Essentials

Your hand luggage always depends on where you are going and for how long, no matter how many people you ask or how many posts you read about what to pack, you will still end up taking the 'non-essentials' and the essentials. This time around for a city break I have been very strict, only packing things what I need and nothing that I am unsure about. Here are those things, split into three categories: 

> Staying Hygienic 

A must when travelling my plane, train or even car is hand gel this will be your life saver when you have to use the loo or clean your hands after touching something. It comes in various scents but I opted with a plain one and under 100ml. The second thing is wipes these are great for freshening up on the go and to clean any mess, I went with Strawberry Laces scent as the soap version of this smells divine.  

> Looking Fresh

After a long journey, the last thing you want to be worrying about is doing your entire face again and looking really glamorous. Because let's be honest, who can honestly be bothered. I am not someone who takes a entire kit full of skincare and makeup on the plane because there isn't any point. Instead I stick to a few essentials, a blemish stick* that is perfect to kill spots on the go, a pocket mirror to keep everything in check, a lip moisturiser to fight dry lips, some form of oil blotting to control your makeup and finally some relaxing treatment to keep you calm - this time I am opting with eye masks.* 

> Keeping Sane 

Rules and Regulations mean that you can't take certain things with you on flights, with other transports there isn't a problem so fill your bag with drinks, snacks and lots of sweets. But when flying you must always remember the rules, and to avoid any problems I tend to but things after I get through security. Apart from sweets which are must for me when on a plane, plasters in case of an emergency and some medicine for when you don't feel your best. 

Three simple categories make packing your hand luggage a lot easier, what are you essentials?

The Makeup Bag that Outranks all the Others

I am literally giggling inside over writing this post, never been so excited to write about a makeup bag!! I know what your thinking, mad women - she wants to talk all about a cosmetics bag but seriously if you love organising your toiletries/makeup then this is perfect for you and any lovers of organising basically. You will no doubt need to make a cheeky purchase as soon as possible.

My Basic Travel Essentials ♥

Summer. It is officially here. And this is the time of year when everyone is getting ready to go on holiday, whether it means around the country you live in for weekend a ways or going abroad for some sun! Whatever it is you will be travelling! This is a another one of my series' where I will be showing you and sharing with you tips, tricks and ways to make your travelling times easier!

And one thing you always have to look after is your skin and body, especially if you are travelling by plane - as the humidity can affect your skin. Here are my travel sized essentials that I purchase every year as it makes it easier for me to carry everything! The beauty of these two packs that I am going to share with you, is that they are 'Hand Luggage Friendly' meaning that you can take them on the plane with you and feed your body and skin with goodness.

This is the Nivea kit that you can purchase.. it comes with;

* Pearl Deodorant - hands down, this is my favourite summer time deodorant. It feels very light on you and lasts all day!

* Pocket Size SPF30 Sunscreen - You have to protect your skin at all times from the sun, this small sized bottle makes it easier and more handbag friendly to carry around.

* Lip Balm with SPF30 - We all never realise that our lips can also get harmed from the sun, and this lip balm is the best to help any sun damage from happening on your lips.

* Facial Cleansing Wipes - These wipes are great to remove make up and if you want to just freshen up, not only do they smell amazing but they do amazing things to your face.

* Shower Cream - When you are by the pool at the seaside or even at the hotel/ any accommodation it is always best to carry around and bring your own soap as it is then something you are used to, you don't have to worry about allergies ect.

* Hand Cream - I do love my soap and glory, however it is expensive. This Nivea hand cream is the next best thing! It smells good enough to eat and nourishes your hands so much they are left feeling super soft and silky.

This Simple kit is more for your face, it includes products that can be used day and night and are great for those like me; who have sensitive skin.

*Cleansing Wipes- Just like the Nivea ones, these are superb at removing any trace of make up and aren't harsh to your skin in any way.

* Facial Wash Gel - This gel is great for first thing in the morning, it helps your skin get ready for the day and helps your skin to recover from the night before.

* Moisturiser - Whether you are having a sunny holiday abroad or a holiday in another city in your country, you should ALWAYS moisturise you face and body. It is so important and I can't stress to you enough how important it is - like seriously.

*Facial Toner - A toner is great to use every morning and night as part of your skin care routine, it helps get rid of dirt and feeds your skin.
