Whether the kids are off and you’re packing up for a big family vay-cay, or you’re heading off for a trip the gals, packing your beauty bag can be one of the toughest trials.
To save you some effort, we’ve compiled a list of some must-have items in your bag this summer.
Janssen Cosmetics Face Guard Advanced
Protecting your skin is so, so important while abroad and it’s vital to use a good cream. Janssen Cosmetics Face Guard Advanced protects against UVA and UVB, with lightweight coverage. The concentrated suncream provides excellent everyday protection and can be worn under make-up with no worries of ruining your foundation. Winning!
Bioderma Golden Tint
It’s a sunny evening, the temperatures are still in the high 20’s and the last thing you’re in the mood for is putting on a face of make-up. This is where Bioderma’s Golden Tint comes in. The 50+ factor cream is perfect for putting on your face, when you want good coverage with minimal effort. Not only does the cream have super high UVA/UVB protection, but it will also cover blemishes and even out completion. As well as that, it has matifying powders so no need to worry about excess oil on the skin!
Kerastase Soleil
SPF for your hair. Yes, you read that correctly. We put so much emphasis on protecting our skin from UV rays, but what about tresses? Keep your mane looking soft and supple, while out of harm’s way, with a quick spritz of this hair oil. The Kérastase Soleil collection helps protect and repair your hair before, during and after sun exposure, no matter how colour-treated or sensitised your hair may be. So whether you’re spending summer in the city, or by the beach, the Soleil collection will keep your hair looking smooth and shiny, even as the temperature rises.
NUXE
While abroad, the last thing anyone wants to do is wear an overbearing scent. There’s already enough smells going on around you, whether it’s the constant waft of suncream in the air or a BBQ a few miles away. With this in mind, we’re loving Nuxe Sun Delicious Fragrant Water. The light, summery mist has notes of vanilla, coconut and orange, leaving a light, tropical smell wherever you spray.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Nourishing Lip Balm
There’s nothing worse than dry lips, both at home and abroad, so get in front of the problem and moisturise your pout! Elizabeth Arden’s eight hour nourishing cream provides hydration to the lips, and soothes them instantaneously. The balm also contains SPF 20, keeping them safe from the sun. The small tube is super handy to throw in the bottom of your handbag, so there’s no excuse not to have one with you while travelling.
