Best travel-size perfumes
Why settle for a single scent when you can delight in the charm of three exquisite fragrances? Mary Grace Perfume Trio Sets offer a versatile collection that are ideal for any mood or event, essentially putting a personal fragrance wardrobe at your disposal. Developed by Mary Gouganovski, who faced persistent skin issues, the Mary Grace skincare line is developed for sensitive skin types.

Alternatively, a solid fragrance is the ultimate travel companion, offering a sleek and mess-free option so you can forget about wrapping bottles in layers of clothing for safekeeping. The Better Brand’s range is stocked with compact beauties that fit effortlessly in the smallest of handbags or pockets. With a simple flip, they’re ready for a dab or swipe across your pulse points, ensuring you smell fabulous wherever you are.
For skin that is hydrated and glows on the go
Travelling exposes our skin to various challenges, including increased sun exposure, dehydration, and environmental shifts, all of which can disrupt our skin’s delicate microbiome. Enter Laline Mini Body Scrubs, the epitome of luxurious skincare, designed for life on the move. These petite yet powerful scrubs are more than just a cleansing ritual, they rejuvenate your skin’s natural radiance with a perfect balance of exfoliating and rich nourishment.
Face and body oils offer a transformative approach to skincare, especially when on the move. Unlike traditional water-based moisturisers that evaporate quickly, oils penetrate deeply, locking in moisture for extended periods. Face oils come in various forms, single oils like coconut or argan oil, oil blends for multiple needs, and hybrid oils combined with non-oil ingredients like retinol for targeted concerns. Herbivore Botanicals Mini Facial Oils are a compact yet powerful ally for every travel skincare routine, offering personalised care for diverse skin needs. These oils allow for mixing, layering, and blending, ensuring a tailored skincare experience.
For a hassle-free tanning experience while travelling, you don’t need to pack all your tanning gear. The St Tropez Tan Mini Self Tan Purity Kit, is your ticket to a flawless, sun-kissed look wherever you go. The kit promises a natural, seamless head-to-toe glow with just one application. Achieve a medium golden tan that develops in 4–8 hours and lasts for days with just one use. Use the bronzing water with the mitt, and then spritz the face mist under or over makeup — no blending required.
