The summer holiday season is fast approaching and if you’re lucky enough to be jetting abroad at some point, I’m sure the excitement is building up. Summer holidays are great for getting away from the stresses of everyday life; for spending time with loved ones or getting some much-needed time alone!
Whilst you may look forward to this element, there is one part of going abroad that we all dread: packing a suitcase! We’ve all experienced the pre-holiday packing panic which often involves trying to squeeze 14 outfits into a bag for a week’s holiday; weighing our bags manically to try and shed those extra four kilograms in order to comply with the airline’s policy and trying to narrow down which toiletries are essentials, whilst having enough resources to cover any eventuality.
Although I might not be able to help you get your 14 evening outfits down to a more sensible seven, I can point you in the right direction as to what toiletries and wellbeing products are essential for your summer holiday.
Rescue and Renew Detox Gelée
Arbonne’s Gelée is great because of its many purposes. It can be used as a moisturiser, aftersun or as a post-workout treatment.
The formula is 100% vegan and natural, containing natural oils, shea butter and green algae, which is great for skin replenishment. I recommend applying it after you have been exposed to the sun for a long period of time to replenish and rejuvenate the skin. If you’re heading on a holiday where you might be more active, or even just making use of your villa’s tennis court, then this is a great product for you; simply massage – in circular motions – onto your body to give your muscles a break. In the evening, you can use this as a moisturiser, which will save you taking lots of different bottles on holiday with you.
The Gelée makes a great holiday product because of its versatility, and with its post-exercise benefits, you’ll carry on using it once you’re back in not-so-sunny England!
RE9 Advanced Prepwork Micellar Water
This is a new product from Arbonne, and it recently featured in my Top 3 New Arbonne Products list, which you can find here .
Whilst the sun can leave us feeling bronzed and radiant, all so often our skin can feel a little oily and sticky. Micellar water has many benefits over washing your face with regular water, bars of soap or the environmentally damaging makeup wipes. The water contains micelles: little clusters of molecules, which help to break away any oil and dirt that have found their way into your pores. Micellar water is a great holiday addition because it also removes makeup, meaning you won’t need to pack any wipes in your luggage. If you’re planning on only taking hand luggage, simply decant some into a travel-sized container and make sure you have it easily accessible at the airport!
Digestion Plus
This might not have been what first came to mind when I said I was going to propose three holiday essentials, but believe me, this will come in handy. When packing, I often find myself torn between trying to include remedies for every occasion – leaving me with hundreds of sachets of products like Dioralyte, Immodium and Gaviscon – or not packing anything, but running the risk of having to navigate myself around a foreign supermarket, reading the back of the packet to try and work out what it does.
Digestion Plus provides a suitable answer for this problem, as it is a pro and prebiotic, which keeps your gut nice and healthy wherever you are. This is especially important for a holiday when you don’t want to be worried about indulging yourself in the local delicacies. Digestion Plus comes in light, little sachets, which will minimise your bag weight, whilst not chancing your digestion when on holiday.
