SPF protection should be at the top of the list whether you’re near the beach or not. The trouble is having to pack both a moisturiser and separate sunscreen to stay protected all day long. Luckily, the multi-tasking Prisma Protect SPF30 protects skin from UV damage and pollution, while also boosting skin luminosity – so you can get the glow without relying on foundation.

Clinique Moisture Surge™ Sheertint Hydrator SPF25

A fresh, natural finish is just one step away with this tinted hydrator that perfects your complexion while protecting at the same time. A makeup detox is sometimes needed on a weekend away, which makes this tinted product the perfect option if a little coverage is still desired. Hyaluronic acid and activated aloe water combine here to keep skin plumped and dewy for 12 hours. Added SPF and antioxidants make sure skin is shielded from UV rays and pollution.

Innoxa Dark Circles Under Eye Concealer

If all else fails, use concealer strategically to ramp up the coverage without that heavy feeling – hey it doesn’t take up too much more space, right? This creamy concealer minimises the signs of a late night, any blemishes that may have popped up, and brightens up the whole face.

Syrene Travel Companion

For skincare junkies who just can’t go without a full skincare regime will lap up this travel kit of Syrene Skincare. It contains every step of your skincare regime for hydrated, radiant and nourished skin all weekend long. The mini versions fit neatly inside a beauty bag meaning you only have to grab and go.

Dr. LeWinn’s Private Formula Vitamin Infused Micellar Cleansing Wipes

Let’s face it, cleansing wipes are an absolute essential when makeup has to be removed quickly or when a sink isn’t near. While some facial wipes can be harsh on the skin, these ones are luxuriously soft and infused with vitamins to nourish, so skin won’t feel stripped but soft to the touch.

Lee Stafford Mini Dry Shampoo Original

The Lee Stafford minis are the perfect travel companions for a quick weekend escape. This pint-sized dry shampoo will save space and ensure hair stays fresh without washing. For a longer break away the Goldwell Kerasilk Color Gentle Dry Shampoo is a great option that maintains shine and doesn’t leave any residue. It also doubles as a hair hydrator with key ingredients keratin, silk and Tamanu oil.

Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Lip Care with SPF

Providing heavy duty lip care, this balm with Manuka honey and SPF15 nourishes and helps sooth irritation. With a beautiful scent and smooth texture, it absorbs quickly and offers long-lasting moisture. The applicator tip ensures hygienic and easy application too, making it the perfect travel balm.

Mita TanglePro 3D

Doubling as a head massager, the purse size version of this hair brush will save you cramming a huge brush in your bag. The unique 3D design moulds to the shape of your scalp and reduces hair breakage; the strong and flexible bristles offer gentle detangling.

Max Factor Volume Infusion Mascara

Mascara is an absolute essential for awakening the eyes when you’re not opting for a full face of makeup. This new volumising formula contains keratin and biotin to care for lashes, and the soft fibre brush allows for easy, gentle application.
