A general rule for traveling is to only bring what you need to save space in your bags and luggage. Your beauty travel kit doesn't have to have everything. While you can’t get everything in your vanity kit, it’s still essential to have with your products for your hygiene and appearance. You can bring less than 10 items, and these would be enough to keep you fresh and pretty on the go! Below are seven things that should be in your beauty travel essentials kit.
When traveling, your skin is exposed to pollution, free radicals, and dirt. As every list of makeup tips would say, do not forget to wipe the makeup and grime off your face at the end of the day. You can do this easily and quickly through makeup remover facial wipes. Celeteque’s Makeup Remover Cleansing Facial Wipes is a must-have beauty travel essential; it will give you a gentle way to cleanse your face, and it is also hypoallergenic! Formulated with active skin hydration, it will keep the skin clean without making it dry. The packaging is also perfect for your beauty travel kit and is convenient.
Sun exposure is not easy to avoid when you’re traveling—especially when your trips are mostly outdoors. This is why sunscreen is next on our beauty travel kit suggestions, which prevents sunburns, sunspots, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and cancer. Choosing a sunscreen with a non-sticky and non-greasy formula also helps if you’re going to a very humid place. When selecting the right product for your beauty travel essentials, look for one in convenient packaging. An example of a travel-friendly sunscreen for your vanity kit is Belo SunExpert Transparent Mist SPF50. Along with UV ray protection, the sunscreen is also water-resistant, easy to apply, and hypoallergenic.
Next on your beauty travel kit is your lips! The lips have one of the thinnest layers of skin on the body, and they tend to get dry because of pollution, sun exposure, and dehydration. To counter this, lip balm is a must-have in your vanity kit; it is designed to give your lips the moisture they need. Human Nature’s Tinted Lip Balm features a blend of cocoa butter, beeswax, and all-natural plant oils, keeping your lips soft and moisturized. It is available in five shades: Rosewood, Guava Jelly, Pink Orchid, Flame Tree (red), and Island Kiss (coral).
You wouldn't want to look eyebrow-less on your vacation pics, so you should have an eyebrow pencil with you if you're creating the best beauty travel kit. A travel-friendly eyebrow pencil for your vanity kit should be easy to use on the go, just like Sunnies Face Lifebrow. It is a compact pencil that provides precise hair-like strokes that are easy to apply and reapply.
Wearing heavy makeup is not recommended when traveling since it can look oily and caky due to sun exposure. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to go bare-faced. You only have to choose a light base makeup product on your skin to let it breathe. Add this product to your beauty travel kit; the Bobbi Brown’s Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation provides a natural-looking base. Despite its lightweight formula, it has full coverage with a matte finish. The foundation lasts more than 10 hours and is suitable for combination with moderately oily skin.
The powder is next on your beauty travel essential since sweat and heat make the base makeup fade faster, and to avoid frequent touch-ups, complete your base makeup using a setting powder. The powder is easy to blend and comes in five shades: ivory glow, pink glow, so natural, creamy glow, and go bronze. Setting powders like Nichido’s Final Powder keeps the face shine-free for a long time. Last tip: If you don’t want to look oily on your pictures and videos, apply some finishing powder to your t-zone.
Don’t forget the moisturizer in your vanity kit! A moisturizer can help you avoid flaky and dry skin caused by cold weather. In addition, it can also help improve the appearance of your base makeup. And if you need to save space in your baggage, getting multipurpose beauty products is recommended. One such multipurpose product is Celeteque’s Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15, a moisturizer and sunscreen in one. Not only does it protect you from UVA and UVB, but it also hydrates your skin after prolonged exposure to heat.
Whether going to a foreign country or on a beach trip with your friends, having these products in your beauty travel kit will make you look fresh and pretty anytime, anywhere!
