Travel Beauty Essentials

Today Emma shares her travel beauty essentials. You can see all of Emma’s posts here.

I’ve often mentioned my love of products that are travel friendly and while packing my suitcase last week I thought why not share my travel beauty essentials (and today I have guest tips from my mum).

We hear Alicia Keys, ‘This Girl is on Fire’ as we buckle up….”she got her head in the clouds and she’s not backing down – this girl is on fire…this girl is on fire…she’s walking on fire…this girl is on fire….She’s on top of the world…hottest of the hottest girls…”

I will start with a simple essential that we can all use more of; water. When I asked my mum what her travel beauty essentials are, her reply was water. My mum (who travels frequently between America and England) told me that she starts by drinking water while at the airport and then consistently throughout the flight. I have to endorse this. It really is our internal moisturizer. My mum also mentioned that she uses Bare Minerals make-up while flying, as it allows her skin to breathe. Thanks Mum. Great travel beauty essentials.

My travel beauty essentials start on the inside the day before. I like to take extra shots of ginger, lemon and cayenne to support my immune system. I also take chlorophyll on the flight and add it to my mineral water. I use the 2 fl oz travel friendly ChlorOxygen by Herbs Etc. Chlorophyll gives plants their green pigment. It is also responsible for channeling the Suns rays into chemical energy for photosynthesis in all plants. In human beings, chlorophyll is one of the few substances that pulls more oxygen into the cells, while simultaneously protecting all of the cells from oxidative (free radical) damage. Almost every bodily process is somehow related to oxygen usage. I could talk exclusively about the endless benefits of chlorophyll, however let me focus on flying. It helps with altitude acclimation, boosts the immune system, increases energy and improves concentration. I highly recommend using chlorophyll throughout the year.

I’m a fan of face sprays and I absolutely love them while flying. I just discovered one of my all time favorite face sprays has a travel friendly size. ‘Solar recover Save Your Skin’ rocks! It feels so good on the skin! As a bonus I spray this on my hair to freshen it up and combat any frizz. Check out www.solarrecover.com

To eliminate the drying effects of flying I use Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn seed oil. It is concentrated so a little goes a long way and it’s so travel friendly.

My mum also mentioned that she uses hand cream while flying. Badger cuticle cream is organic and contains soothing Shea butter. I use it for my fingers and toes. I love these little tins that fit anywhere. I have so much to discover within this travel friendly brand, however there are a few staples I’ve used consistently including the Damascus rose face oil (1oz bottle). This antioxidant rich, 100% organic blend of precious plant oils is formulated to restore and protect delicate or dry skin. The Damascus Rose beauty balm is my favorite product from Badgers. It has so many uses, so it’s ideal for traveling. I tend to use it on my eye area, although it can be used on your hands, elbows, heels. Wherever your skin needs it really. Rose is very soothing and I have become more attracted to products containing rose recently.

Finally my staple; Argan Oil. It really is such a fabulous tool for flying as it has multiple uses. I even used it to remove eye make up in a pinch recently. This one bottle will combat frizz, moisturize skin and even hands. I’ve used it on my toes & heels also. My go to Argan Oils are Mychelle and Acure. Both fantastic, both organic and travel friendly.

So beauty lovers with these travel essentials you will arrive at your destination looking flawless.
Until next time…happy travels.

  1. You are reminding me to go and drink some more. I never seem to drink enough

  2. Facial sprays are seriously underrated in beauty routines, it’s such an easy way to add moisture to skin.

  3. I’m a huge fan of Argan oil, I would love to take it with me on travel next time, I’ve never thought to!!!

  4. Such great tips. I can’t live without hand cream when traveling. My hands always feel so dry.

  5. Such awesome tips. I always literally feel like I’m falling apart when I get off a long haul flight. It just sucks every drop of moisture out of my skin! I definitely slather on lotions and all sorts during the flight.

  6. I wish the airlines hadn’t made taking water with me such a hassle. I’d always take a big bottle. Between the restrictions, and the bathrooms getting smaller, I just nurse my ginger ale…

  7. These are all great suggestions. I didn’t know about the Chlorophyll, but I will be looking into it!

  8. This is JUST what I need. I am a frequent flyer and end up with terribly flaky skin and broken fingernails every time. I’m off from Abu Dhabi to London on May 31 and will be sure to hydrate more and take ginger and chlorophyll.

  9. You just brought a huge smile to my face. Thanks for your comments. First of all have a great journey the day after my birthday (I am from London). And yes I can not recommend chlorophyll enough, when I first took it from NY to London I felt the difference so much! Also face sprays help hydrate. And ginger is great! Happy flying….let me know how you get on.

  10. Hello Amber, thank you for your comment. Yes try chlorophyll (they sell it at wholefoods). It really helps! I love it.

  11. Hello gorgeous! Thank you. I’m so pleased you will use these tips….yeah. Happy flying with happy skin!

  12. Hello Nidia, thank you for your comment. I completely relate to what you are saying. The amount of times I have had to guzzle my water before going through security. However nothing replaces water when flying.

  13. Hello Chelsea, thank you so much for your feedback. Try drinking more water, it really does help. Also face sprays are great for delivering moisture to the skin.

  14. Thank you for your comment. It is just so effortless for flying because of its multiple uses. Try it. I’d love to hear how you get on….

  15. Awesome post. 🙂 I don’t fly as much as I used to but when I did – it took a toll not only on my well being and health, but my skin overall. I wish I had the knowledge I do now when I used to travel for work a few times a week, it would have saved me some anguish.

  16. Thank you everyone for your comments. As always I love hearing from you. I have some exciting beauty essentials news in the near future so stay tuned….
