I’ve had my fair share of disasters when travelling. I’ve left my camera in a restaurant in Sri Lanka, stepped barefoot in a huge buffalo poo in Cambodia, and most recently, had to explain to a pharmacist in India that I had left my Pill in Australia and needed a replacement. But amidst my many mishaps, I have never had to go one day without a freshly cleaned face, odour free body, and smooth, hydrated skin. My secret? Travel packs. They are my saviors and sanity keepers. Whether I’m just staying over at the boyfriend’s or am off on a three-month journey, these toiletry triumphs will always be at the top of my packing list.
BEST TRAVEL PACK #1 Molton Brown Men’s Traveller – London Edition
Let’s start with the boys first. Although they may have the ability to wear the same pair of shorts for a week straight, it doesn’t mean they should skimp on packing toiletry essentials. The Molton Brown Men’s Traveller – London Edition contains everything your man will need to stay clean and fresh while travelling. Or if you have a boyfriend who’s constantly stealing your moisturiser when he stays over, pop this in your bathroom as a hint.
BEST TRAVEL PACK #2 Pure Fiji Island Therapy Bag
Don’t let you skin and hair suffer just because you want to leave more room in your suitcase for shopping. Invest in travel-sized shampoo, conditioner, body moisturiser and scrubs so you won’t have to compromise. The Pure Fiji Island Bag includes all of these and more so you’ll come back as radiant and beautiful as when you left.
BEST TRAVEL PACK #3 TriShave 3in1 Travel Pack for Women
Anybody who has ever had to dry shave before knows that heading on a trip with a razor only is not a good idea. Eliminate the possibility of shaving rash and dry skin by packing this handy shaving pack, which includes a mini shave cream and moisturiser as well as a razor.
BEST TRAVEL PACK #4 glo therapeutics fly with me travel kit
Feel silly taking all your anti-ageing serums, eye creams and moisturisers with you on the plane? glo therapeutics understands the needs of ageing skin and have created a travel kit that contains all the mini skin care products needed to keep your face in tip top condition. They are even tailored to suit different skin types.
BEST TRAVEL PACK #5 Remington Power Pro Travel Kit D3037AU
Those with naturally straight hair may scoff at the thought of packing a hair dryer and straightener to take overseas, but those with frizzy, boofy and unmanageable hair will understand the need. To make it less frustrating to try to fit these bulky items in your bag, swap them for the Remington travel kit which includes a mini straightener and hair dryer with a fold-up handle.
What are some of your must-have travel items? Have you ever had any toiletry disasters while overseas?
Yeh travel packs are always cute!
Molton Brown is used by the Queen so no wonder your husband likes them!!
That one stood out for me too – basic but essential! I also love their sPf30 cream in that pack because it is soothing and great for just-shaved legs especially if I take a dip in the ocean and the saltiness from the water doesn’t give my legs that horrible itchiness when I use this cream from Trishave. It’s so handy!
Last trip was to the dry outback for nine days so I made sure I took plenty of moisturisers for face and body and serums too. I also took my mini bottle of Clinique hydrating spray and I used it all up while away.
Don’t think I will be travelling anywhere anytime soon but don’t mind doing some research.
