ESSENTIAL SKINCARE AND MAKEUP PRODUCTS YOU SHOULD HAVE WHEN YOU TRAVEL

Are you going on a trip and want to know what beauty and make up basics you will need to pack -and those you won't?

FACIAL CARE

Remember the basics:
* Make up remover
* Tonic
* Eye contour gel/cream
* Moisturizer

Tip: Use small containers or travel-sized products so that everything will fit into your hand held toiletry bag….there are also many brands which currently produce tiny travel make up kits. Treat yourself to one! They are normally quite cheap …

BODY CARE

Essentials;
* Body moisturizing cream
* Exfoliant

Tip: Get hold of a pair of exfoliating gloves for your body, they are very easy to acquire and work really well. Aside from this they aren't heavy to carry, they don't wear out, and they work wonders to eliminate all the dead cells, leaving the skin smooth…

MAKE UP

Essentials:
* Corrector
* Foundation
* Powder (if your skin is combination or greasy)
* Neutral shadow for daytime
* Shadow for partying -remember it's Christmas!
* Light shadow
* Black pencil (it can get you out of a corner if you happen to want to replenish your make up and you haven't got a dark shadow with you: you can use the pencil as shadow and then spread it with a brush)
* Mascara
* Rosy or earthy rouge
* Your favourite lipstick
* Transparent gloss
* Colored lip pencil, so that if you feel like making your lips up a little more on day, you can use the pencil and the gloss over it and there you have it: a new lipstick color! Besides the pencil weighs little.
* Illuminator. Don't forget to bring the illuminator. Use it for the party make up….

HAIR

* Bring a hair pack. You're sure to need one …
* If your hair is difficult to manage or sensitive, bring your treatment with you. The shampoos in hotels tend to be for normal hair.

NAILS

Don't forget ….
* Nail file. They always break when you're away.
* Transparent or ivory varnish
* Colored varnish, if you normally use this

FOR EMERGENCIES

* Bath salts. A holiday is an ideal time to relax in a bathtub.
* Face pack. Make the best of the little extra time you have while on holiday and look after yourself…
* Beauty flash or shock treatment to be stunning. Bring it in single doses so it weighs less.

I'm off on holiday to a warm place …

To relax, enjoy the sun and the hot weather, a great way to unwind….But -what do I pack in my suitcase?....

* Switch your foundation for a tanning powder. Give yourself a few touches with the brush and you'll see how your face instantly acquires a healthy look.

* Go for lip glosses. These look good in hot climes…

HAIR

The same essentials as for a trip to cold climes, but:

The same essentials as for a trip to cold climes, but:
