If your summer holiday is fast approaching and you’re wondering which of your beauty products you need to take with you, never fear I am here to talk you through the essentials.
Whether you’re going on a city break or you’re heading on a beach holiday, these products will see you through.
SPF – Various prices
I cannot stress this enough; this is the most important product to take with you regardless of the destination. Not only does SPF help fight against the sun it also helps keep those wrinkles at bay.
Keep on top of applying throughout the day especially if you’re heading off somewhere hot. And with many different formulas to suit all skin types there really is no excuse for going without.
Frances Prescott Tri Balm £46.00
One of my favourite multi-tasking products, it cleanses, exfoliates and moisturises all in one step.
Removes make up and leaves your skin feeling super fresh and clean, this is the perfect item after a day in the sun.
As this product comes in a solid stick, it is easy to travel with, and worth the money.
NARS the multiple stick £30.00
When I’m on holiday I like to keep my make up minimal, especially as I love to keep that natural holiday glow as long as possible.
The multiple stick from NARS is a dream to use, this multipurpose stick can be used on the lips, cheeks and as a highlighter. Blendable yet buildable this stick glides onto the skin and gives you that fresh clean makeup look we all strive for on holiday.
Available in three shades, my favourite is ‘Orgasm’ as it works perfectly with my skin tone.
If the price point is too high, Elf Cosmetics do their own version for less than £5.
Vitamin E body cream £4.00-£13.00
One thing to remember if you’re baking in the sun all day, your skin will become dehydrated. Keep your skin nourished and soft with a lightweight formula moisturiser such as Vitamin E. This product will keep your skin glowing all day long.
My favourites are from Superdrug and The Body shop.
Loreal Volume million lash waterproof mascara £10.00
Keep your mascara on your lashes and avoid the panda eye look and invest in a good waterproof mascara to keep your lashes exactly where they should be.
Ideal for hot weather, this mascara will not budge.
