]]> We all want our vacations to be as relaxing, fun-filled, and as perfect as possible. This is why something like sunburn can feel like a real pain, in more ways than one. In an ideal world, we would all avoid getting sunburned in the first place, but sometimes salt water can wash sunscreen off, or the sun can simply be more powerful than we were expecting. Check out these tips on how to soothe and care for sunburn on holiday, so you can get back to relaxing and making the most of your break away.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is a natural substance that can calm and care for burns and is usually available in most pharmacies. Take care that the type you’re purchasing doesn’t have extra fragrance or unnecessary ingredients—it may even be worth packing a small amount of pure aloe vera to take with you when you head away on vacation, just to be safe.

Hydration

If your skin is burned, you can help repair it from the inside out by staying well hydrated. Drinking water and eating foods with a high water content, such as melon and cucumber, will help your skin heal and regain its glow and softness.

Sun Safety

Once you’ve been burned, you will need to make sure you’re not exposing your skin to the sun for a while. Make sure you pack a hat to take on vacation, and a thin scarf to drape over your shoulders can also be a good idea. Seek out the shade in the middle of the day, and avoid swimming for at least the first 24 hours after being burned.

]]> Many airports have stringent restrictions on your liquids allowance, which can make packing for a trip away tricky. Being limited to a set amount of liquids often means leaving some of your essential skincare products or cosmetics at home, which can leave you feeling a little too bare-faced when you’re on vacation. Get around this issue by replacing some of your liquid products with trusty solid options, so you’ll have room in your liquids allowance for everything else you need.

Solid Shampoo

Solid shampoo bars have been around for a while now, and as well as saving on your liquids allowance when flying they’re also a great plastic-free option. A little goes a long way, so one shampoo bar will certainly last for up to a month.

Face Cleanser

Just as a solid shampoo can work wonders at cleaning your hair, a solid face cleanser can be just as effective as a liquid option. Most health stores offer a range of these bars, formulated for different skincare concerns. Just lather a little in your hands before applying thoroughly to your skin and then rinsing off.

Solid Perfume

Perfume can sometimes feel like a luxury on vacation when the liquid allowance is so small. You can sidestep this issue by choosing a solid perfume. Simply dab a little onto each wrist or on your pulse points, rub until it melts into your skin, and voila! You will smell divine all holiday, without having to turf your favorite moisturizer out of your liquids allowance.

]]> Jetting off on a break or even just heading off on a long weekend can be super exciting. In all the rush to pack and get ready, it’s easy to neglect your toiletries, but there are some skincare products you don’t want to travel without. No matter what your skin type or skincare concerns, these are your holy grail products which should go into your toiletries bag before anything else.

Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Whether you opt for a cream, a moisturizer with SPF, or a spray-on formula, taking some form of sunscreen away with you is non-negotiable. Even if you’re heading to colder climes, protecting your skin from harmful UV rays will avoid any uncomfortable tightness or burning, and will also ensure that your skin is being taken care of and protected for the long term.

Cleanser

There is nothing worse than feeling like your skin is layered up with sunscreen, sand, and salt from the sea, and being unable to thoroughly cleanse it. Decant a bit of your favorite cleanser into a travel bottle if you don’t want to take the whole bottle with you. Cleanser will help balance your skin and keep it feeling fresh, which is particularly important if you’re vacationing somewhere hot and humid.

Moisturizer

Even if your skin tends to be oilier, moisturizer is a great way of balancing and calming your skin. Choose a lighter formula if you’re visiting somewhere warm and layer it under your SPF to create a natural barrier that will keep your skin feeling hydrated and healthy.
