The 5 Holiday Skincare Essentials You Need in Your Suitcase

Whether it’s a city break, or lounging by the pool for a week; your usual makeup routine might not be ideal in the glorious sunshine this summer, so getting your skin in tip top shape is a must.  Check out our expert tips below for the skincare products you need to pack this summer:

1-It begins with the skin…

No matter what your destination, clear and glowing skin is the one when going fresh-faced on holiday.  ZO Skin Health Exfoliating Cleanser is the ideal choice for normal to oily skin, gently removing dirt and surface oil whilst unclogging pores with exfoliation.  This calming and soothing face wash is perfect for summer skin, and also features vitamin E for added antioxidants and repair.

2-Stay sun safe

Sunscreen is essential, no matter what your skin tone.  Not only does it protect your skin from sunburn, but it can help to prevent sun damage and signs of premature skin ageing.  For the ultimate sun protection with a little extra, try Heliocare’s 360 Colour Gel SPF50+ 50ml which contains patented Fernblock+ for intense antioxidant activity and comes in a variety of shades to give you a light tint for a flattering glow when you’re rocking the bare-faced look.

3-Protect your peepers

Holidays usually mean longer nights than usual so you want to make you stay bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!  Formulated to rejuvenate the delicate eye area, our Cavendish Clinic experts recommend that you don’t leave home without Dr. Levy Eye Booster Concentrate 15ml.  This targeted treatment features Dr. Levy’s patented ArganCellActiv Complex – Argan CDV, alongside malu domestica (to activate the epidermal stem cells), retinol, hyaluronic acid and a multitude of peptides, fatty acids and vitamins – to quickly combat crepey-ness, diminish dark circles and practically eliminate fine lines.

4-Calm and soothe

Calm sensitive skin with SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Hydrating + Calming Mask. This intensive calming and hydrating botanical face mask with hyaluronic acid is clinically proven to soothe and replenish reactive skin. Its gentle formula cools on contact to comfort skin sensitivity and restore the complexion’s natural radiance and smoothness. This cooling mask can even help reduce redness and skin discomfort.

5-Poolside spritz

Provided in a handy travel-size, Fenty Beauty’s What it Dew hydrating mist is an all-round skin saver and can be used under makeup as a prep for foundation, over makeup to refresh skin throughout the day, or on the plane where the air can be drying for the skin.  Suitable for all skin types and leaving a dewy glow, this lightweight formula is made with a blend of herbal extracts including borage and cornflower, known for their hydrating properties.
