Are you going to travel? Make your own Travel Kit!

Are you going to travel? Make your own Travel Kit!

27 July 2021

We've all gone through the desperation of putting everything and anything else in a tiny suitcase. I don't know about you, but for me, the worst part is putting my entire collection of toiletries, skincare, and make-up, which fits in an entire cabinet, in a mini bag... So today I'm going to give you my tips on this topic, so that the next time you go on vacation, you will have a guide to everything you need, in travel size, of course!

There are already pre-made kits, extremely useful for a weekend away, for example, or for when patience fails. Unfortunately, most are dedicated to oral hygiene. Occasionally, and especially during the summer, it is also possible to find some hygiene/hydration kits.

But when the trip lasts longer, the cleaning and make-up routines are more demanding and, therefore, it is at these times that I create my own kit. In addition, I also take into account the environmental impact. We are more and more concerned about our footprint, and traveling should not be a reason for us to be sloppy in this regard. So, let's create our own kit?

The first step is, of course, the bag, and in this case, the choice falls on the Beter toiletries bag, which is not only suitable for these products, but also large and, very importantly, environmentally friendly! Then I add the essentials so that I don't forget what really matters. Toothpaste and toothbrush, again sustainable and in travel size, in the bag!!

In addition to oral hygiene, I ALWAYS add my skincare products to my bag, which are the perfect size for traveling, except for the facial cleansing gel. But even here, options abound! I can choose a cleaning product that is different from the usual one, such as micellar water, foam, or even wipes (in the latter case, they must be used exceptionally), but with the accepted size.

In the case of makeup, I always opt for cream products. Although there is no restriction on powders, there is always a high risk of breaking them due to travel turbulence. As for hair, as it is more difficult to choose and find travel sizes, without having to transfer products to smaller bottles, there is now a great solution: solid or powdered shampoos! In addition to being a more environmentally friendly option, they are also convenient to transport. And in the case of this Klorane shampoo, it's a 2-in-1. Want easier?

At this stage, I already have all the hygiene and makeup products in my travel bag. If it's summer, all that's missing are sunscreens and after-sun. The facial sunscreen is already in the bag, of course, as we must use it all year round! As for body care, there are some sun protection kits that can be easily added, like these from Vichy and Caudalie.

Now my kit is complete! And how about yours?

Hope you have a great holiday! And any questions, you already know: go to our Instagram @carelineage!
