SKIN PROTECTION.
I'm going to start with the obvious, for going to a hot climate, suncream. Skin protection is one of the best cosmetics you can get, as it prevents you from premature wrinkles, dark spots, burn and pigmentation. I chose Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch sunscreen as it is so hydrating, leaving you with a lovely, luminous look. It also has a really fresh, summery scent to it and is oil free! It's a liiiitle bit more pricey than some other brands, but I'd definitely recommend paying that little bit extra.
MOISTURISER.
On the same note as skincare, my next essential is Clinique's Dramatically Different. I will be completely honest and admit, it isn't my absolute favourite moisturiser I've tried as I've found it isn't the easiest to spread and becomes a little bit tacky, but it does get rid of the dryness, which is a must have in a hot climate. It also leaves my skin feeling quite fresh and soft and comes in a smaller size, which is ideal for traveling - less is more with this.
MAKE UP REMOVER.
I've gone with Estee Lauder - Take It Away, simply because I, occasionally wear Double Wear and it is pretty much THE only thing that can get it off. It also takes any other make up you have on with minimal effort, which is always something that you appreciate when you just want to go to sleep, it smells lovely and leaves your skin feeling refreshed after use.
EXFOLIATOR.
I have brought two exfoliators out with me, as when you're tanning and in the sun, its really important to get rid of the dead skin sells - especially if you want to keep your tan looking healthy and make it last. The one's I have chosen are both Clarins as they smell gorgeous and I always trust Clarins with skincare. One, exfoliating body scrub and the other, Gentle Refiner Exfoliator - for face.
HAIRCARE.
I didn't really bring a lot for my hair as I don't like to put too much on it as I'm currently trying to let it recover from my excessive bleaching phase! I did, however bring, salt spray. Im'm still trying to work out how to properly use it or if I even like it, but I thought it was a really handy idea to have effortless waves in your hair without really having to do anything to it. The other item, Schwarzkopf - Got2B powderful for volume. I absolutely love this product for nights out, or anytime you'd need dressy hair, you literally put a tiny bit in the roots, rub it in and it gives you so much volume!HEALTHCARE.
So I didn't picture these as it would have looked very boring but there are some must haves everyone needs when going away, especially when you're as accident prone as me.
-Plasters
-Hypercal (helps with cuts and grazes)
-Paracetemol!! I go nowhere without this, and the alternative isnt as cheap in the US
So thats what I brought with me, would you bring anything different? Let me know!
