7 Travel essentials every girl needs

What’s better than a trip to the coast, to the bush or a summer city break? A trip where you’re not running to the shops or the hotel gift shop twice a day for a forgotten this or that!

We’ve picked seven beauty buys that won’t weigh your bag down.

1 Hopping on a jet plane? Try your best not to wear makeup. The air on a plane zaps moisture from your skin, and makeup can just dehydrate it further. Rather apply a hydrating mask or facial oil to keep skin as hydrated as possible.

2 To keep hair from drying out mid-flight, run a pump of oil through your locks just before your board. It’ll soak in without leaving your strands greasy.

3 A mini spray will help you get the most out of your holiday hair: it adds volume to limp, post-flight lock, adds texture and sets your style.

4 A compact sunscreen is great for sensitive areas – like ears – and quick SPF touch-ups.

5 A neutral cream eyeshadow is a serious multi-tasker! The shade looks chic both day and night, and suits all skin tones. Plus it works as a highlighter, too.

6 Make use of facial wipes that add moisture – they remove makeup and clean skin in one easy swipe.

7 A teeny tiny shaver which can even fit into the smallest of bags. Why take your bulky razor when you can take a compact one, right?
