7 Beauty Essentials for Your Travel Bag

Moisturiser with SPF

No matter where in the world you are, or what the weather is like, SPF is crucial. It protects your skin from harmful UV rays but when incorporated into a moisturiser, you also get that boost of hydration all day long. The Olay Complete Care Day Fluid Moisturiser is highly recommended, and is available in the handy 100ml bottle to pop in your hand luggage.

Facial Cleansing Brush

Jetting off to sun, sea and sand doesn’t mean you should neglect your skin. Give your skin the deep clean it deserves, removing any dirt and oils built up throughout the day for fresh, rejuvenated skin. The Braun 830 Silk-épil Face Premium Edition features a facial cleansing brush, but also a facial epilator to maintain your eyebrows and remove unwanted facial hair from the chin, upper lip and forehead. This facial brush also comes in a handy wash-bag, keeping all your skincare products in one place for easy access and safe storage. Below you will find our top 3 best-selling facial cleansing brushes, with most sets including a mini facial epilator.

Dry Shampoo

Keep your hair looking refreshed everyday, even on those in-between days, by packing a trusty bottle of dry shampoo. Dry shampoo is an oil-absorbing powder in the form of a spray, which can make even flat and greasy hair look presentable in an instance. Simply spritz at the roots, leave for a couple minutes and then massage in for an instant boost of freshness. A handy tip: Save a little time in the morning by spritzing your hair at night, putting up into a loose bun and sleeping on it. The product will work overnight to give you extra freshness and a boost of volume. All you need to do when you wake up is take your hair out of the bun, massage the roots and you’re ready to go.

Ladyshave

Keep your pins silky smooth throughout the whole duration of your trip. Some women opt to get a wax from their local beauty salon or through at-home treatments, whereas others are more likely to use an epilator for hair-free skin for longer. A handy travel ladyshaver is the Panasonic Battery Ladyshave; it’s discreet, stylish, but also gives the shaving performance you need for a close yet comfortable shave. Below you will also find our top best-selling lady shavers.

BB Cream

BB Creams have become an increasingly popular makeup product over the years and if you haven’t come across one before, here’s why you should try it. BB stands for Blemish Balm and is essentially an all-in-one face product which does the following; moisturises, primes, adds a hint of colour and coverage, and also provides the essential SPF for skin protection. The Olay Complete BB Moisturising Cream offers all the benefits you want for your skin, all in a handy 50ml tube. With a touch of Max Factor foundation you can achieve a beautiful, sheer coverage.

Hair Brush

If you want to keep your hair in the best condition, don’t let it get into a tangle! Take your trusty hair brush with you, and preferably a portable one that can easily slip into your bag for when out and about. Big paddle brushes may be useful for those with thicker hair, but they are not practical when it comes to travel. We recommend the Braun Satin-Hair 7 Iontec Hair Brush; not only is this a portable hair brush perfect for popping in your bag, but it also features Braun’s innovative Active Ion Jet which tames frizz as you brush and leaves hair looking shiny.

Electric Toothbrush

Last but most certainly not least, you need your toothbrush. For convenience and perhaps the worry of airport security, people may swap their electric toothbrush for a manual brush for their travels, but you shouldn’t! Electric toothbrushes are safe to take with you, which means you have no excuse not to pack it. Below our our top 3 best-selling toothbrushes and travel cases:
