I’m off on a little trip for a few nights with my friends to celebrate our 30th birthdays this year and I wanted to do a little post sharing what I’m taking with me. I’m flying going with hand luggage only, so I needed to really cull the amount of products I would normally use and just stick with essentials. I chose products that I knew I’d get on extremely well with and wouldn’t irritate my skin.
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cleanser
My favourite cleanser of all time. I had this little travel size in my stash so it’s perfect for travel. It’s a cleanser I reach for a lot of the time, so it made sense to pack it. It works well enough for a single cleanse too so I don’t feel the need to pack another cleanser.
Trinny London Bounce Back Moisturiser
My skin absolutely loves this. It’s hydrating, moisturising and really helps make my skin look its best. It was a no-brainer to pack, especially given they now sell a travel-sized version.
Naturium Multi Peptide Eye Cream
I wanted a good hydrating eye cream that helps to smooth out my eye are so I opted to take this. I like how thin the packaging is, so it can easily fit in around my other products.
L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Clinical Anti UV Fluid SPF50
This is quite new and I’ve been really enjoying it. It leaves the nicest finish on the skin doesn’t feel too heavy. I’m likely to be outside a lot of the time exploring, so I wanted something with high protection.
Sunday Riley CEO Glow Oil
A fail-proof serum for me. It’ll provide me with enough hydration that I don’t need to pack a hydrating serum, but it will also provide me with antioxidant protection. Win-Win.
Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
If I feel my skin just needs a bit of exfoliating, then I’ll use this cleanser to buff away dead skin cells and provide a glow. It provides immediate gratification thanks to the physical exfoliation.
Dove Clean Comfort Hydrating Body Wash
You can’t go wrong with a Dove Body Wash and this one conveniently came in travel-sized version so I picked it up to take with me.
Dove Clean Comfort 48hr Anti-Perspirant
Typically my go-to deodorant that works extremely well and doesn’t irritate under my arms.
King of Shaves Sensitive Shave Oil
I will definitely need to shave whilst I’m away, so my go-to shaving oil will be coming with me. I’ve used this for YEARS. It’s brilliant because I never experience shaving rash when using this, and it allows me to get a good close shave.
American Crew Forming Cream
I’ve used this for years and years. I haven’t found anything that beats it. I like a high shine finish when it comes to my hair and this ticks all the boxes.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Conditioner
Due to limitations of handheld luggage, I’m forgoing shampoo for the 4 days and just taking conditioner with me 😂 I haven’t tried this one before but I’m interested to see how it is.
What do you think of my picks?
