This time of the year it’s only natural to have warmer days on the brain. Whether you are heading to a tropical location soon or just dreaming of a mid-winter getaway, these are the products you need for every kind of beauty crisis.
For some, going on holiday is all about being makeup free for a week or two, while others will want precious coverage. Leave your thicker foundations at home and opt for a lighter base that evens out skin tone and protects against the sun’s rays. This BB cream provides sheer coverage while protecting skin from the damaging effects of the environment, and the non-greasy formula will stick around all day long.
Bondi Sands
There is no product more essential than sunscreen and you’d be a fool to forget it. This one offers high protection and is four hours water resistant meaning you’ll have no problem jumping from sand to sea. It has a delicious summer scent, and the lightweight, non-greasy formula won’t leave you feeling sticky.
Blistex
When it comes to sun protection, you have all the obvious places covered, but have you remembered your poor lips? This fuss-free lip balm in stick format is nothing fancy, but it’s all you need to effectively protect against sun damage and repair dry chapped lips. Containing menthol and eucalyptus, the instantly cooling formula will provide relief on blistering hot days.
Weleda
Aluminium-based deodorants block the sweat ducts and can be absorbed into the skin, potentially causing harm to our bodies, so it’s no wonder we’re turning to more natural alternatives. If you want to be more mindful of what you use on your body, but still want to combat sweat and stickiness, Weleda’s natural formula could be a contender. This pleasantly scented deodorant provides 24hr reliable protection from body odours without blocking pores.

Applied after shampoo, R+Co’s treatment will soften and give shine to hair thanks to the soothing combination of oils, butters and extracts. A saviour for damaged or dull hair in need of a recharge, you’ll be glad you packed it.
Elizabeth Arden
Just because you’re going on holiday doesn’t mean you should forgo your skincare routine. This travel-friendly serum comes in capsule form, meaning you can just take what you need – pop a handful in a smaller container and you’re good to go. Designed to improve skin tone and firmness, these capsules will provide a much-needed boost of moisture while away.
