The Best Travel-Sized Beauty Products For Your Next Trip

Packing your beauty essentials for a holiday can be stressful but being organised and investing in the right sized products will ensure you arrive at your destination ready to relax. From Chanel to ghd and Clarins, some of our favourite brands now sell their best products in miniature form, so it’s easier than ever to take your go-to products with you. Here are our picks guaranteed to come in handy…

BODYCARE

Many brands now do chic getaway pouches full of their bestselling products – like NUXE and its compact travel kit which has a wash, cream and nourishing oil. A miniature razor is also a no-brainer. We rate Momax’s Electrical Shaver which provides a flawless shave every time and comes in an egg-shaped case, which is ideal for travel. There are plenty of great SPFs to choose from this year too. If you don’t want a big, clunky bottle, look to Ultra Violette’s Extreme Screen which now comes in a generous travel size. Finally, a body mist might not sound like an essential, but it’s always a treat. Caudalie’s Smooth & Glow Multi-Purpose Oil gets our vote. Designed to refresh skin, hair and nails, it’s very nourishing and has the most uplifting summer scent.

FRAGRANCES

Most fragrance houses now offer miniatures, including SL favourites like Le LaboChanel and Ffern. Solid perfumes are another great option for travel – you can pack them in your cabin luggage without contravening any liquid restrictions. Failing that, snap up an atomiser. There are plenty of affordable options out there, ready for you to decant your favourite scent for holiday.

SKINCARE

Just like make-up, multipurpose skincare is great for travel. If you haven’t already, we highly recommend trying Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Cream after a dehydrating plane ride. We love a good misting of Caudalie’s cult Facial Elixir too – not only does it refresh dry, lacklustre skin, it comforts it when it’s dehydrated or inflamed. A good facial SPF is essential, and we rate this one from Supergoop which is ideal for dusting on wherever you are. Finally, it’s worth taking a cleanser you’ll enjoy using to ensure you’re always getting all traces of SPF and make-up removed while away. And because our favourite brands now offer smaller sizes, you never have to compromise. Look out for the small but mighty pot of Elemis’s beloved Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm.

HAIRCARE

From miniature shampoo and conditioner duos to masks and texture sprays, there’s so much travel-friendly haircare out there. We love Sam McKnight’s Cult Classics Set, which has everything you need for any trip, while the miniature Christophe Robin Hydrating Melting Mask is great for adding back moisture to sun-zapped hair. Even brushes – like Aveda’s cult Paddle Brush – now comes in miniature form. COOLA’s clever Scalp SPF30 Mist is a great addition to any luggage too – small and compact, it takes up next to no space but protects both your hair and scalp from sunburn and UVA/UVB rays without any grease.

MAKE-UP

From NARS iconic Radiant Creamy Concealer to Hourglass’ miniature bronzing palette, there are so many make-up minis we love. To ensure everything arrives intact, place a cotton pad over the top of palettes and compacts, or a puff if you have one. Look out for multipurpose products to streamline your packing – like the Westman Atelier sticks which work on the cheeks, lips and eyes – and don’t forget to throw in some smaller brushes to free up some space.
