When you book a winter trip away, the excitement can be so much that some travel essentials get forgotten about. Stay on top of your to-do list and make sure nothing gets left behind with this list of three essential toiletry items to take with you. Nobody wants dry skin, greasy hair, or chapped lips on holiday, so consult this list and tick the items off as you pack.
Lip Balm
Winter weather, combined with the recycled air situation on the plane, can play havoc with your lips. Nothing is more annoying (or painful) than dry, cracked lips, so stock up on lip balms before you go. Many lip balms don’t count as liquids, so they won’t take up precious room in your liquids bag. In an emergency, lip balm can also double up as a dry skin balm, so you’re really packing two products in one.
Hair Serum
Even for those with very glossy hair, winter can take its toll on our strands and lead to dry, dull hair. Pack a small pot or bottle of nourishing hair serum, for on-the-go touch-ups which will lend moisture from root to tip. This can also be used to smooth down frizzy flyaways if this is something your hair suffers with. If the serum is rich enough you will only need a small amount, so again this product won’t take up loads of room in your luggage.
Moisturizer
A moisturizer will help protect your skin in harsher weather. Pack one that can double up as a face and body serum, so that you don’t have to contend with dry patches on your legs or arms. If you need to condition your nails, add a dash of olive oil to your standard moisturizer and massage this into your hands and nails.
A winter holiday can be great fun, but don’t forget these beauty essentials to keep your skin, hair and nails in tip top condition.
