Skincare Essentials For a Weekend Trip

Looking forward to a weekend away but concerned about what skincare essentials to bring with you and what to leave behind? Whether you’re escaping to the lively streets of a new city or the calm of the countryside, your skin deserves the best care. Here's how to curate a travel-friendly skincare set that ensures you stay glowing and gorgeous, no matter where the weekend takes you.

Simplify your routine

If you want to make packing your skincare as travel-friendly as possible, you’ll need to narrow down the products you actually need. Stick to the basics: cleanser, moisturiser, SPF, and, if space allows, your go-to serum. Rest assured, your skin will be fine with a simplified routine for a few days.

One must-have for your skincare kit is our Soy Face Cleanser. This gentle, pH-balancing formula removes makeup, clears impurities, and hydrates your skin, making it the perfect travel companion. Its compact 1.6 fl oz size ensures it's TSA-friendly so you can easily breeze through security.

Go prepared

Feeling a bit nervous about leaving your trusted skincare products behind for the weekend? One way to ease your mind is to prep your skin in the days leading up to your trip. Consider using an overnight mask the night before your departure, exfoliating on the morning of your journey, and completing any shaving or waxing ahead of time. By prepping your skin in advance, you’re ensuring you only pack what you need and get peace of mind, knowing that you’ve completed all these tasks just in time to enjoy their benefits while you’re away.

Embrace travel-friendly minis

Packing for a trip doesn't mean you have to leave your skincare routine behind. Travel-sized products, which can be found on most of your favourite fresh products, are the perfect solution, allowing you to keep your regimen intact without taking up too much luggage space. Opt for mini versions of your must-haves or decant products into smaller bottles. Our Milk Body Cleanser and Milk Body Lotion come in convenient travel sizes so that you can enjoy your favourite products on the go.

We’ve also made it simple to carry your favourite fresh eau de parfum on your travels. With our 9ml tubes, you can easily bring along scents like Hesperides Grapefruit, Sugar Lychee, Citron de Vigne, Sugar Lemon, Lily Jasmine, and Rose Morning. These travel-friendly sizes ensure you can stay beautifully scented throughout your journey, no matter the destination.

Plan for the occasion

Adjusting your skincare routine to match the environment and activities of your getaway can make all the difference. If you're headed to a cosy cabin for some downtime, spending your days reading by the fireplace, you might want to pamper your skin with a luxurious face mask. Packing a product like the Floral Recovery Calming Mask, rich in floral extracts, can help soothe your skin while you sip hot cocoa and unwind.

On the other hand, if your weekend plans involve a lively city escape with friends, filled with late-night outings and early brunches, you'll need a different approach. The Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream is perfect for these occasions, as it hydrates, brightens, and cools the eye area, ensuring you look refreshed no matter how late the night goes.

No matter where your adventures take you, make sure to pack at least one skincare product tailored to the specific activities and environment of your trip.

Remember to hydrate

Travel can often throw off your hydration levels, whether due to less sleep, enjoying a few drinks, or adapting to a new climate. Your skin is usually the first to show signs of dehydration, making it crucial to stay hydrated throughout your trip.

Ensure you’re drinking enough water and, to help give your skin an extra hydration boost, bring along the Rose Pore-Minimising Hydration Mist. This mist provides immediate moisture, reduces the appearance of pores, and leaves your skin feeling soothed and soft. Enriched with Damask Rose extract and rosewater, it replenishes your skin and imparts a lovely, dewy finish. A quick spritz on the face and neck refreshes your skin, with the delightful scent of rose softly igniting your senses.

Travelling in style with fresh

With fresh, there are skincare, lip care, and fragrance options for every travel need. Our meticulously formulated products expertly cater to every season, environment, skin type, and concern, ensuring you always have the perfect solution at your fingertips. Inspired by the wonders of nature and perfected through advanced science, fresh offers an extensive selection of products, from everyday essentials to luxurious indulgences for special moments. With three convenient sizes to choose from, you're ready for any journey, whether it's a weekend escape, daily use at home, or refreshing touch-ups on the go.
