What do you include in your holiday beauty routine?

A good holiday beauty routine keeps your skin feeling comfortable, without filling your toiletries bag with products you hardly ever use.

When travelling, you want formulas that work smartly. A mini perfume that fits in your hand luggage. SPF that’s easy to reapply. Skincare that hydrates after sun, sea or heat. And make-up that feels comfortable, even on long days.

That’s why a refined holiday beauty routine isn’t about taking more with you, but about choosing more mindfully.

In short

Opt for travel-size products that fit in your hand luggage.
Always take SPF for your face and body.
Opt for light textures that feel pleasant in the heat.
Use mini perfume to refresh your scent throughout the day.
Complement your routine with skincare that supports you at various times of the day.

DISCOVER HOLIDAY BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

The beauty essentials that deserve a spot in your suitcase

A holiday calls for products that adapt to your needs. From morning to night. From a day at the beach to an al fresco dinner.

Think of a gentle Cleanser, a hydrating mist or cream, SPF for the face, a mini perfume and light make-up that lets the skin breathe. Products you use daily, that serve multiple purposes and are available in travel size.

The Sun Pouch by Skins is a great example of this: a limited edition pouch for days in the sun and the moments that follow. With fresh perfumes, a fragrance enhancer, SPF and skincare for face and body, the selection contains everything you’d love to take with you and use again.

What are the most important holiday beauty essentials for travelling?

A smart holiday routine starts with products you actually use. These categories form a solid foundation.

Face care: a gentle Cleanser, hydrating serum, mist or cream.
SPF: protection for the face, body and areas you tend to forget.
Fragrance: a mini perfume or fragrance enhancer for day and night.
Hydration: a mask, body milk or balm for comfort after sun and heat.
Make-up: a tinted moisturiser, Mascara, cream Blush or translucent powder.

This way, you can keep your routine simple without compromising on skincare or the experience.

Why is mini perfume ideal for holidays and hand luggage?

A mini perfume fits easily into your bag and gives you the freedom to change your fragrance throughout the day.

For example, choose a fresh fragrance for the morning, when everything still feels light and open. For the evening, a fragrance can be warmer or softer, with amber, musk or woody accents.

A compact perfume size also makes it easy to discover new scents. Especially if you prefer to take several scents with you when travelling, without taking up space in your luggage.

Why is SPF for the face still important during the summer and on holiday?

SPF for the face protects against UV radiation and helps prevent changes to the skin caused by sunlight. Even when it’s cloudy, or when you’re mainly walking around a city.

For holidays, a light, portable formula works well. Think of a stick that you can easily reapply to your nose, cheekbones and lips. Or a facial sunscreen that blends nicely under make-up.

That way, SPF isn’t an extra step, but a regular part of your routine.

Packing smart: a well-thought-out routine for when you’re on the go

Packing smart isn’t about taking less, but about choosing more consciously.

Reusable bottles help you take your regular products with you in a size that suits your trip. Think of your favourite Cleanser, toner, serum or Body Lotion. Fill them carefully, label them clearly and prevent leaks by keeping the opening clean.

Combine this with lightweight formulas. A serum that absorbs quickly. A body milk with SPF. A balm that nourishes multiple dry areas. This way, your beauty routine stays on track, even when your days are busier than at home.

How do you use reusable bottles for skincare and beauty products when travelling?

First, choose which products you use daily. Not what might be handy, but what your routine actually involves.

Products suitable for reusable bottles include:

Cleansers
Toners
Serums
Body Lotions
Hair care
Shower gel

Fill the bottles to just below the rim, so that the contents have room to expand and contract with changes in pressure. Clean them with warm water after your trip and leave them to dry thoroughly. This will ensure they remain pleasant to use and extend their lifespan.

Why does light make-up work better on hot summer days?

Light make-up adapts more easily to heat, sun protection and skin that tends to shine more quickly.

A tinted moisturiser with SPF provides soft coverage without feeling heavy. Cream Blush blends into the skin and translucent powder helps where you need it. This keeps your face looking fresh, without your make-up taking centre stage.

Are you used to a full make-up look? Then choose one product to leave out. Start with Foundation, for example, and replace it with a lighter base. This makes your routine quicker, calmer and more comfortable in warm weather.

Your holiday beauty routine: make conscious choices, enjoy carefree

A good holiday beauty routine isn’t about being comprehensive. It’s about products that suit your skin, your destination and your way of travelling.

With a mini perfume, facial SPF, nourishing formulas and light make-up, you can build a routine that leaves room. In your suitcase and in your day.
