Summer holiday BeaUtY esseNtiaLs Holiday season is here – finally! But it also means that us
ladies are faced with the dreaded task of having to narrow
down our beauty essentials when jetting away. This usually
means buying hundreds of tiny, hand luggage friendly bottles
and tubs to squeeze our products into…nightmare! But fear not
- these, stress-free tips are guaranteed to keep you looking radiant, even after the holiday blues have kicked in.
First up is your holiday prep. Be sure to book into your local salon for these fabulous treatments before you take off…
Waxing is a godsend when it comes to a holiday. This method of hair removal takes the hairs from the root, which means they can take as long as 6 weeks to grow back, and eventually start to grow back finer and sparser. Another bonus is that you don’t have to worry about taking a razor away with you, or about shaving rash, cuts or grazing.
Another treatment that is fantastic for holidays is LVL Lashes. This up and coming treatment is one of the best eyelash treatments currently in the beauty industry. LVL stands for lift, volume and length, which speaks for itself! This treatment will leave you looked wide eyed and awake without the use of lash curlers or mascara, and no damage to your natural lashes. Your new beautifully dark lashes will last for around 6 – 8 weeks, or even longer with the use of a lash serum.
So now, a couple of hand luggage must-haves…
Every woman needs a great moisturiser. Steamcream is my all time favourite cream, which you can use on your hands, feet, body and
even face! It’s super moisturising, sinks in straight away, and the best part is the wonderfully unique, hand luggage friendly tins they come in! Steamcream contains a combination of beautiful essential oils, such as chamomile and lavender, which makes it perfect for even the most sensitive of skins. Have a look online for other things you can use your Steamcream for – such as mixing it with salt to make a gorgeous body scrub, or oats to make a nourishing facemask.
And finally, a saviour from tired, dull looking skin on your journey… Darphin have recently launched a brand new CC Cream. This is an allin-one skin care solution, using natural looking pigment and light reflective pearl - and it’s perfect for holidays as it has SPF 35. This light, nourishing coverage will leave your skin looking refreshed no matter how long your journey is. And if you can’t go without your skin care on holiday, Darphin also do their most popular products in great little travel kits.
So that is your holiday beauty routine sorted, relatively stress-free! Now it’s time to relax and enjoy the sunshine…
