Expert Tip for Travel Size Sunscreen

"Travel size sunscreen is essential for keeping your skin protected wherever you go. Whether you're jetting off on holiday or just need SPF for top-ups on the move, a mini sunscreen fits perfectly into your bag without sacrificing skin protection. Look for broad-spectrum SPF in a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that suits your skin type. Many travel-friendly sunscreens now come in under 100ml bottles, making them hand luggage-approved for UK flights. Keep one in your handbag, gym kit, or carry-on to ensure you’re always covered – because daily sun protection doesn’t take a day off."

Top Skincare Picks For Your Hand Luggage

Flights booked - Check, Passport - Check, Pedicure scheduled - Check, Suitcase packed - Check.

If there's one thing I like more than aesthetics, it's travelling. Like most of you, I love to holiday! The tropical weather, exotic beaches and fresh cuisine are a very appealing escape to our everyday lives. Something I don't love, however, is trying to pack a week's worth of supplies into my suitcase. If, like me, your skin requires much love, care and attention you'll know only too well the struggles of trying to avoid a holiday breakout.
