Top 5 Travel Toiletries

Top 5 Travel Toiletries

Everyone needs vacations. That season to just take some time off, drop your responsibilities, and enjoy life carefree for a while. But just because you’re off work doesn’t mean that you should take time off from taking great care of your body! It’s still quite important to keep clean, exfoliated, and moisturized from head to toe no matter where you decide to spend your off days, and speaking of location, it’s going to be a good idea to keep track of climate & routine so you can be aware of what exact products you need to fit your new temporary lifestyle. With those three goals in mind, you can have a great vacation and come back with a body that’s ready to get right back to work, no matter how much fun you had.

Now, I can’t tell you exactly which products you’re going to want to suit your specific travel needs, but I can go ahead and set up a common vacation scenario for you and respond to it appropriately. Let’s say you’ve been drooling over a chance to go to the Caribbean: all year, the date’s been circled on your calendar, you’ve let your boss know exactly what the plan is, everything’s going according to schedule, and now it’s just a few days before you take off for what seems to be the only perfect place on earth for you. You haven’t been on vacation in quite a while and you’re trying to round up the last few items you’ll need, so that means collecting those pesky travel-size body care products for the road (or in your case, the beach). The only question is, what do you even need? That, I can help with. All we have to do is stick to those three things we talked about earlier.

1. Clean

First, you’ll have to make sure you’re keeping clean, and for that you’ll need shampoo for the top and body wash for everything else. I don’t have to tell you how important it is to make sure your hair and skin are clean before anything else; it’s the foundation of keeping it all top-notch.

2. Exfoliate

To exfoliate, you’ll need to snag a salt or sugar scrub to make sure that your skin is glowing and healthy the whole trip. This locks down your skin’s clarity and ability to retain the moisture that will come from the next products...

3. Moisturize

...body cream and lotion. These will hydrate your skin and give it that extra boost it needs in the new, tropical locale as you’re spending days out in the sun, which can be harsh if you’re unprepared. Of course, you may find that you need different or additional products, and in that case I’d encourage you to change the lineup however necessary. But in any case, these products are a great way to get started covering all your skin and haircare needs, and you definitely won’t go wrong following the simple guidelines.

 

4. Make It Work

On top of that, you have to be cognizant of your body’s routine-specific needs: you’re adjusting to a new altitude, temperature, humidity, as well as new activities, so you should give your skin and hair the best chance possible to thrive in the new environment. You may want to modify your usage in response to the environment as well. For example, in the hotter or tropical location, you’ll want to make sure you’re reapplying products like lotion throughout the day keeping in mind activities like swimming in order to ensure maximum benefits from the product throughout the day. On the other hand, if you were in a colder location, you’d want to do your whole routine at the beginning of the day to make sure your skin and hair stay protected and moisturized, hitting the restart button by refreshing your body at the beginning of each day. I say all  that to reiterate, you need to know your body in order to ensure that you’re getting the best products for you and your individual needs, no matter how specific they are.

5. Recommendation

With that in mind, I would recommend the Urban Hydration Hair & Body Travel Set which takes care of those basic needs with natural, great-smelling products that get the job done (https://www.urbanhydration.com/collections/travel/products/hair-body-travel-set). Urban Hydration Travel PackIt provides a great baseline to build your new hair & skin care routine from and is offered at a great price so you have more money to do the things that you’ve been waiting to do all year. Now get out there and enjoy your vacation without leaving your hair and skin out of all the fun!
