Travel essential 101

While Christmas and new year’s being around the corner,we all have been holidaying and traveling a lot. I am sure like me, you guys also love traveling and exploring places around! The most difficult part about traveling is arranging and carrying essentials which we girls need daily. And also making sure that we don’t over pack or leave our important stuff behind!!

Here is what I do while traveling, and below are some of my tips and suggestions in carrying my essentials while traveling:

1st let me introduce you guys to my Skin and hair care travel pouch: ( Part 1)

This includes my skin care and hair care essentials which I use during my entire journey:

P.S.- I always save the sample size products for traveling. So that it is convenient to fit inside my bag.

1. Facewash: I am currently using the face shop herb day 365 acerola cleansing foam but it is too huge to carry . So I carry a small clean and clear facewash and a sample size Garnier facewash.

2. Tonner: Tonner is a must! Where I go I don’t skip this step .. and for this I carry either a sample size of face shop tonner or I use rose water! Rose water can be multi purpose as it can be used as a Tonner and a facial mist!! It is an awesome setting spray… (Make up lovers)

1. Moisturizer: Now I don’t need to say more about this step!! We all are aware of how important Moisturizing is ! And we need to keep a good moisturizer in our pouch wherever we travel. Be it a cold or a humid place!! I again save my sample size products for my traveling and currently I am using the chia seed range and before that I was loving Innisfree orchid cream. And lucky I have them both in a travel pack. But what you can do is to buy a travel container set.. easily available anywhere and store your creams, tonner etc in them which will be easy and travel friendly.

1. Lip balm: I don’t need to stress on more how important a good lip balm is!! Obviously we need carry atleast a good lip balm with us everywhere! I carry 3 with me!! One in my hand bag and rest in the check-in luggage. Obviously you girls can have as many as you want! One with SPF and other for an extra protection during night time is a must!

2. Lip scrub: Once in 2-3 days we need to scrub our lips. And I have a whole post regarding it. Click here to have a look. For tips click here .

1. Sunscreen: Again another must haves! A good SPF of minimum of 30 or more should be handy. Where ever you travel, either it’s snowy or a beachside holiday a good layer sun protection is must! I take full size kaya spf 50 sun block with me always.

2. Facial oil:I know most of you might be thinking why an oil? But trust me girls you will thank me later!! A light weight oil like a almond , Olive oil or coconut oil can solve a lot of problems. You can use it as a light weight serum or make remover or a night cream and a eye cream! I take a heavy oil i.e. Castrol oil along with almond oil with me. I use Castrol oil as my night oil, eye cream and a lip oil. I even use it to remove my make up. Almond oil is mostly used in my hair but sometimes I prefer it to remove make up as castrol oil is little difficult to remove when you are in hurry!!! I also use almond oil as a body oil during night time!

3. Exfoliater: Traveling means explosion to oil and pollution. Travelling makes our skin dull and that can make skin prone to have clogged pores, pimple or pigmentation. So in order to keep our skin free from pollution and dirt we need to exfoliate it in a regular interval. And for that, I keep a small pack of a good scrub with me always.

1. Face mask: After exfoliating, using a mask is preferable. That will ensure to retain moisture back into the skin. I carry Innisfree capsule recipe packs and they have good sleeping packs also… The packs are small and travel friendly .. I keep a good 3 tubes of packs with me.. 2 of them being my sleeping packs which I use as a night cream and one for a 15 mins wash it off mask. I have a full review of it. Click here.

2. Now one best thing to carry while traveling is a good number of sheet masks, they are handy and takes only little time and gives your skin for a health glow from within. I prefer using sheet masks during night time and use the left over serum during the day time underneath my make up for a wonderful glow! I use Faceshop’s and Innisfree’s sheet masks!

1. Body lotion: Moisturizing face isn’t enough, we need to keep in mind that our body also need Moisturistion. I carry the 50ml pack of moisturizer which has SPF.

2. Hand cream: I love hand creams and I keep a tub of it in my hand bag always to make it feel soft and supple. For review and options for hand creams (scroll down after clicking here)

3. Pocket Perfumes: Who doesn’t like to smell good always? I love my Perfumes but while traveling I prefer a smaller size bottle and try to get the same variant as my original Perfume.

4. 
   

1. Shampoo And Conditioner: if you are using a medicated/ treatment shampoo then you have to carry it otherwise you can carry two in one shampoo plus conditioner 50ml bottle or even different sachets. Obviously you can relay on hotel’s complimentary sample products.

2. Dry shampoo: You cannot always have time for a hair wash. Dry shampoo is an essential, we need to carry a travel size or a mini dry shampoo for oil free, voluminous hair.

3. Drayer and brush: A mini Drayer is a must. It can help you to dry your hair while you are in hurry or you can use Drayer to always style and straighten your hair!! All you need is to have a good brush for that!!

4. Mini Styling spry and a mini heat protector can be carried if you love styling your hair!!

5. Tangle teezer : It is an essential, This is a mini size and easy to carry product! It is awesome when it comes to de-tangle your hair and make it frizz free!

6. Razor: if you are in a long Holiday plan then razor is a must have! You cannot relay on waxing while traveling, so don’t forget to carry a pair of razor or an epilator to flaunt your sexy legs .

7. Your medical kit is a must while traveling. You should keep a small pouch of band-aid, Vicks or any bam, anti-allergic tablets, paracetamol, pain killer, stomach ache and nausea medicine etc.

8. Please don’t forget a Hand sanitizer and toilet seat sanitizer. They are must haves!! Now wet wipes and tissues are an essential.

9. Don’t forget to carry 2 packs of wet wipes (can also be used as make up remover) and a lot of tissues, they will come handy always.

10. A hand towel and soft cloth is a must to clean your hand and face!

These are completely my travel essentials!! You can add and subtract items according to your need!!!

Coming up will be my make up travel kit and how you can multi use one make up into many.
