I love the feeling I get when I?m gearing up for a summer vacation. But it’s always a daunting task when it comes to packing up my beauty routine.
This is what I faced last week when I was packing for my trip to Ocean City. I tend to overpack for every trip I go on (because you know, options). But this time around I really wanted to save myself the extra suitcase space. Packing up last week was more successful than I anticipated because I actually followed through on my own summer travel beauty tips and wanted to share them here.
At home I?m typically using full-size products and most of my skincare products are in glass jars or large tubes. So, first things first: get yourself some travel containers so you can take your favorite products with you. Decanting can be a little time consuming but it?s so worth it. Packing up my favorite cleanser, toner, body wash, etc. in reusable travel bottles make it so much easier to fit in my suitcase. I also never have to worry about leakage and/or breakage.
If you don?t want to decant your skincare products, then I recommend taking all of those free samples you acquire with every Sephora order. My only advice if you do this is to make sure you’ve tried the products prior to bring with you. Otherwise you might not like what you bring (or you could have a bad reaction!).
I also try to stick to a very simple routine while I?m on vacation. In other words, only one cleanser, one body wash, one tube of mascara, one blush, etc.
