Beach-Ready Beauty: My Must-Have Travel Essentials for Glowing Skin, Glossy Hair and a Scent Perfect for Sunshine Vibes.
Packing for a beach holiday is about more than just swimsuits and sandals! I have a few trusty beauty products that I never travel without, especially when I’m heading to sun-soaked tropical destinations.
Here are my top 9 tried-and-tested essentials to keep skin, hair, and everything else beach-ready and glowing!
Dermologica Daily Microfoliant: Morning and night, I use this gentle exfoliator to keep my skin smooth and fresh. It’s a great product for getting rid of any build-up, and it leaves my face feeling super clean and renewed.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 30 SPF + Cleansing Balm: This duo is a lifesaver for keeping my skin hydrated and fresh. The Marine Cream feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives me that much-needed moisture. And the cleanser? It always feels like such a treat to use, it’s gentle but so effective in getting rid of sunscreen, and makeup.
Ultra Violet 50+ Supreme Screen: A good SPF for the face is a beach day essential! I love Ultra Violet’s sunscreen because it’s protective without feeling heavy, and it doesn’t leave that sticky residue—so I can feel safe in the sun without feeling weighed down.
SUN BUM SPF 15 Browning Oil: When I’m looking for a little more glow, I reach for SUN BUM Browning Oil. It’s great for adding a sun-kissed radiance and has SPF protection to keep my skin safe.
REN Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm - Sensitive: When my skin is feeling parched and dehydrated on holiday, this is my go-to, I cover my face and neck in it overnight and as if by magic in the morning my skin feels like new! I also use this before and during a flight to keep my skin hydrated.
Gatineau Tan Accelerator: For a little pre-holiday prep, I swear by this tan accelerator. It helps me get a golden glow without overdoing it in the sun, and I love the way it makes my skin look. I use this daily for 2-weeks before, during and after any beach trip.
Escentric Molecules – Fragrance Molecule 01 Fragrance: This scent is light, produces a unique scent on everyone, and lasts all day, even in the heat. It’s my go-to for beach days and laidback holiday nights, when I want something fresh that’s not too overpowering.
L’Oréal Detox Shampoo and Conditioner: After all that sun and sea, my hair needs a good detox. This shampoo and conditioner duo is perfect for removing all the salt and sand, and product buildup while leaving my hair soft and manageable.
Kérastase Soleil UV Leave-In Hair Cream: Sun, saltwater, and sand can wreak havoc on hair, but this leave-in cream by Kérastase keeps my locks feeling soft and hydrated, even after a full day at the beach.
And there you have it—my go-to beauty essentials for staying beach-ready and glowing, no matter where your travels take you. Whether you’re lounging by the turquoise waters of the Maldives or soaking up the sunshine in the Seychelles, these products help you feel confident, radiant, and refreshed. The right skincare and haircare can truly make a difference, letting you focus on enjoying your holiday without worrying about dryness, sun damage, or lacklustre locks. So pack smart, protect your skin, and don’t forget that perfect sunshine-inspired scent. Here’s to looking and feeling fabulous on your next beach escape! 🌴✨
