Going on a hand luggage-only holiday? No doubt you’ve already got your passport packed, tickets printed, and outfits sorted, but what about your skincare essentials? Makeup rarely clocks in at over 100ml, but when it comes to skincare, packing and decanting toiletries into a 20×20 bag is the worst part of travelling without hold luggage.
To help you take the fuss (and mess) out of packing, check out this travel-size skin routine – everything you need for day and night, all under 100ml, and small enough to leave room spare in your bag for more makeup.
Yes To Coconuts Coffee 2-in-1 Scrub & Cleanser Stick
Yes To is a dream when it comes to travel-friendly skincare, since so many of their products come in stick form (which means they don’t count as liquids!). This one has your cleanser and exfoliant sorted in one so there’s no need to pack a separate face scrub – just slick it on straight from the tube.
Mario Badescu Oil Free Moisturiser SPF30
Most SPFs feel thick and chalky on skin, but this one is way more comfortable than other formulas we’ve tried. The texture is light and melts into skin, leaving it protected and hydrated – thanks to UVA/UVB filters and aloe vera.
Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre Nourishing Moisturiser
A multitasking moisturiser is a travel must. It may not look like much, but this lightweight and skin-quenching cream can be used day and night, as a mask, and even does double-duty as a makeup primer.
Revolution Niacinamide Essence Spray
If you have a long flight ahead or are headed to a hot destination, you’ll need a refreshing face spray to get you by. This one is ideal as it’s boosted with niacinamide, which helps to boost hydration, smooth skin texture, and reduce blackheads, breakouts, and redness – basically a six-step skincare routine in one.
