So you're all set for a week or month-long vacation. Your much-needed R&R has finally arrived! Whether you're going to the tropics or will be eating your way across Europe, getting your travel essentials ready should be a priority in your to-do list. Passport? Check. Tickets? Check. Accommodation? Check. Outfits? Check.
It's time to head straight to your vacation destination. But wait, have you checked your travel kit yet? If you're in a hurry, you'll simply stuff your bag with random personal care products-lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. Not a good idea.
Why? Your skin and hair still need TLC. Whether you'll be gone for weeks or months, you still need to support your wellness while traveling. You don’t have to let your health go just because you’re on the go.
If you don't know what organic personal care products to pack, here's a guide to packing your wellness needs:
How to choose personal care essentials before you travel?
When packing your personal care needs, it's still vital to plan ahead. Although the rule of thumb is to travel light, it’s not an excuse to let your health regimen take a backseat.
First, you need to take the climate of the place you'll be visiting into consideration. What are the activities you will embark on during your vacation? How's the climate going to affect your skin and hair?
You'll need to write down the typical weather of your travel destination and the type of activities you want to participate in. Then make a list of personal care products you think should be essential for your trip. You might have the urge to bring everything but focus on your must-have essentials and multipurpose solutions. If the product doesn't fit into one of these categories, cross it off.
The decision-making process might be a bit of a challenge, especially for first-time travelers. But, don’t worry! This guide will help you narrow down your selection.
Organic and All-natural Personal Products For Your Holiday
So, you’re off to your much-awaited vacation. Whether you’re aiming for an active or a perfectly rejuvenating holiday, you need these essential products. These items will keep you healthily groomed throughout your trip.
1. Travel-Size Roll-on Deodorant
Whether you’re traveling to a tropical place or a cold country, keeping your underarms sweat-free and smelling fresh all day is important. An all-natural travel size deodorant will keep your armpits odor-free and germ-free.
Plus, if it’s made from natural ingredients, you are less likely to develop irritations during your trip. It’s perfect for people with sensitive skin. When choosing a deodorant, watch out for chemical ingredients like parabens, propyls, aluminum, and chlorohydrate.
2. Mini Shampoo
Hair care while on vacation doesn't have to be a challenging affair. There are easy and quick fixes. All you need is a bottle of all-natural shampoo that deeply nourishes your hair.
For pool lovers, take note that most pools are treated with chemicals such as chlorine which has been proven to cause dryness on the skin and hair. This means that pool water will strip your hair of its natural oils.
This is why it’s important to choose a shampoo with natural ingredients that don’t only cleanse but also moisturize. Steer clear of shampoo that contains harsh ingredients like amidoamine and 3-dimethylaminopropylamine, ethylhexylglycerin, and sodium laureth sulfoacetate.
3. Travel-Size Sunscreen
It’s no secret that the sun can damage your skin. Without the proper protection, UV radiation can cause skin cells to age and damage their DNA. Exposure to ultraviolet rays is also a major risk factor for most skin cancers.
The thing is, whether you’re going to a tropical climate or a winter wonderland, sun exposure is inevitable. That’s why you shouldn’t skimp on sunscreen wherever you go. Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 and above to get ample protection from the sun.
While it’s easier to go with a mainstream drugstore brand filled with dangerous chemicals, a sunscreen with non-nano zinc oxide and organic ingredients is the smarter choice.
4. All-Natural Hand Sanitizer
Did you know that too much alcohol-based hand sanitizer can cause health back-fire? Yes, over sanitizing can cause hands to dry-out, crack, and bleed. Mainly because of the harsh chemicals found in most sanitizers.
So, if you can’t help but apply hand sanitizer more than you should during your travels, you don’t have to fight the urge. The trick is to use an organic hand sanitizer that is made from all-natural ingredients. It will effectively kill germs and bacteria but remains gentle on the skin.
5. Travel-Friendly Hand & Body Lotion
You'll also need a TSA-approved hand & body lotion to keep your skin hydrated. Avoid lotion that contains ingredients like sodium myreth sulfate, ethylparaben, propylparaben, sodium cocosulfate, and glycerol stearate because they cause irritation once your skin absorbs them.
Don’t spoil your vacation due to sunburn, bad breakout, irritated skin, or dry hair. You don't have to kiss your self-care routine goodbye just because you're traveling.
These must-have personal care products will not only help you look your best, but they will also support your health and wellness when traveling.
