Booking flights. Early starts. Sunshine. New cities. Swimming in the sea. There are many things we love about going on holiday but condensing a skilfully curated beauty routine into a tiny clear bag is not one of them. The solution? Stock up on all your favourite products in their on-the-go sizes. From mini skincare to petite perfumes, find the best travel beauty to keep your routine in check below – no security confiscation necessary.

A summer picnic idea is to nail the kit

Mini-size make-up

If it’s under 100ml and can fit in the little clear bag, the make-up you can take on a plane is up to you, but the risk of running out of room still runs high. While most beauty products at full-size are typically under 100ml, downsizing to travel size will save you space – and should still last the length of your holiday. Luckily, both big brands and cult labels – from Charlotte Tilbury to Laura Mercier – offer all your go-to beauty staples as minis and ready for take-off.

Fresh face

While sudden temperature change potentially requires rethinking your usual skincare routine, flying can also wreak havoc on your skin – especially if you’re travelling long haul. Aside from the all-important SPF, save space in your make-up bag for ultra-hydrating products, such as hyaluronic acid and serum. Use it to prep your skin before taking off, to quench when you’ve landed and to replenish after a day in the sun.

Take good hair

The heat and humidity of a hot summer holiday can cause damage to our hair, so hydrating mists and colour-protecting products sit top of our list of the essentials to bring – especially if dips in the sea are on the itinerary. But, you can also save some room by packing shampoo bars from brands such as KITSCH. Not only do bars free up space in your toiletry bag, but they clean your hair and scalp just as well as their liquid counterparts.

Smell good on the go

Starting your holiday on the right note begins with travel-size fragrance. From Le Labo to Jo Malone London, beauty’s brightest perfumers are making pocket-size bottles for you to take away. When it comes to selecting a holiday-ready scent, go for something that captures the spirit of summer – a zingy, citrusy scent, for instance, or something fresh and floral, which calls to be spritzed all summer long.
