Travelling light with a consistent beauty routine

Leaving with what already works

The trip is rarely the best time to test several new products. List the actual needs of the stay: cleaning, comfort, protection and possible treatments prescribed. The size of a kit is not an indicator of quality. A small number of familiar products can be easier to use regularly.

Prepare containers

Keep the information necessary for use even if you carry a reduced format. Clearly label all containers and avoid transfers when the package leaflet does not recommend them. Check transport rules and storage conditions. A product left in a hot car should not be treated as a formula that remains in good condition.

• Take protection adapted to the activities planned.
• Provide an accessible kit during a long journey.
• Keep the product names and instructions on your phone.

An example to adapt to your daily life

For a short stay, prepare the kit a few days before departure and place each product next to the package leaflet. Check the quantities and conditions of transport. A photo of the references will help you if a packaging is lost. Avoid transferring a treatment or product whose storage conditions would be compromised. On return, make a list of really useful items: it will allow you to travel more simply the next time without losing the essential information.

On return, sort out

Note the products actually used and those that were used for nothing. This little review will help you prepare for the next departure. A persistent irritation after the stay requires a review: do not close too quickly to air conditioning or water from another country.
