Summer's Best Travel Beauty Products

Summer's here and that means long vacations, short weekend breaks, and long, lazy day trips away. Smart packing of your beauty products means that you will stay looking your best while away from home too.

Don't believe for a moment that you can cram your everyday beauty and skincare products you use daily at home into a travelling beauty bag. It's madness to carry full-sized bottles for a trip away from home. It's too time consuming, takes up too much space, and is too stressful. Instead, think simplicity.

Of course we all have the items we simple can't live without. If you're really lucky, that item is your mascara - that's one beauty item that is very travel friendly. Unfortunately there are few of us who can simply get away with a coat of mascara each morning to keep us looking our best.

So here are some tips for the some of the best beauty products packaged in an ideal travel size. If your beloved products that you want to take don't come in in miniature, then purchase small plastic bottles (Try The Body Shop for a good selection), rinse then well and fill them with creams and lotions from your full sized bottles.

Also remember those all important facial wipes and wet-wipes for hands, a must when travelling, and the sort of item that we wonder how we ever manged without before they became available.

Here's a top list of fabulous travel-size beauty products:-

  • The Dermalogica Skin Kit offers four great products in great spill-free packageing for your face. Buy for your particular skin type.
  • Eyeshadow sponge applicator and eyeshadow brush from Bobbi Brown. Quality brushes that are easy to pack and easy to clean.
  • The Philip B Travelling Kit for Hair and Body. This wonderful set includes shampoo, a deep conditioning cream rinse, a combined hair and body shampoo, and a one-step hair and body wash if you really are in a hurry.
  • Travel Essentials from Ole Henriksen consist of 6 small bottles of luxury products for your face and body, such as body scrub, face cream, cleasing tonic and a face mask.
  • And finally a must-have favourite from Decleor is their amazing Body Discovery Kit, all in compact travel size. Everything your body needs to stay in holiday shape for your entire vacation, including bodypeeling and what is probably the world's best handcream.

    Finally, pack your toothbrush and razor blade, and you're ready to hit the road with your beauty products tucked away discreetly!
