Travel Beauty Tips to Suit all Budgets

Jun 01, 2019

With summer almost here, we bet you have a vacation or two planned over the next few months. When you’re traveling on an airplane your skin can lose moisture and become dry and this is not the look you want to go for on vacation. You want to keep your skin moisturized with a luxurious moisturizer to make you look fresh and ready to hit the beach. Baggage allowances also mean that you can’t take all of your beauty products with you but we have a secret to help you with that. If you’re on a budget and love a good beauty hack, carry on reading to discover our top travel beauty tips.

Apply moisturizer before you travel

One of our top beauty tips is to apply moisturizer before you travel. Ditch the foundation and simply apply a moisturizer instead. When you’re on an airplane for hours your skin loses moisture and becomes dehydrated so you need something hydrating that will lock the moisture in. Elemis has some fantastic luxurious moisturizers which are great for applying before you travel. Their Peptide4 Adaptive Day Cream is a great choice as it mattifies, blurs and balances the skin. It adapts to your skin’s needs throughout the day which helps keep your complexion looking flawless all day long.

Spray away!

When you’re traveling you often feel a bit gross especially when you’re surrounded by so many people and can’t get any fresh air. A spritz of rose water can make such a difference with how you feel and will make you feel instantly refreshed. It’s great for keeping your skin feeling hydrated and it smells incredible too. Elemis’ new Pro-Collagen Rose Hydro-Mist is perfect for taking on your travels. No matter where you’re traveling, it’s a great product to keep in your handbag to keep you feeling fresh on the go!

Opt for nude nail polish

Skipping brightly colored nail polish is a good idea when traveling. Whether it’s red, pink, blue or purple, bright nail polish chips too easily and can make you look and feel unfinished. Going for a nude nail polish is great as it will match every vacation outfit you carefully planned out. Either paint your nails with a nude polish, clear polish or even a clear glitter polish if you want a bit of sparkle because if this chips, it won’t be as obvious.

Travel minis are the way to go

When you travel, you can’t take as much makeup and skincare as you may have liked. The limit means that you have to be selective with what you bring. With both makeup and skincare, travel minis are the way to go. If you go for minis, you can take a wider variety of products. One great way to save money is to put products you already own into travel sized pots so you don’t have to buy anything new. If you’re treating yourself or you’ve run out of skincare, make sure to check out Elemis’ Luxury Travel Collections. There is a Luxury Skin and Body Travel Collection, The Luxury Travel Collection for Him and The Luxury Travel Collection for Her. Each set comes with different miniature products including a makeup remover, body cream, toner, and shave gel.
