Spring means the May bank holidays are just around the corner! And the women in the office have already planned their weekends away… Discover their beauty essentials for skipping the inevitable hotel soap ;-) As cute as they are practical, travel sizes let you keep up the same expert routine you follow in your own bathroom… They’re also a great chance to discover new beauty gems!
Pauline, Customer Service Manager
Hair & Body Travel Kit John Masters Organics: "I fell for this kit that I can take anywhere. It’s ideal for avoiding those hotel minis that aren’t always very clean… I also love the fresh, natural scents of the products: lavender, grapefruit, neroli, rosemary. Dreamy, isn’t it?"
Jessica, Purchasing and Operations Director
"A quick weekend in Rome or a long holiday on the Basque coast doesn’t mean you have to neglect your routine and switch to make-up remover wipes! My on-the-go essential for beautiful skin is the Balancing Travel Kit from Oh My Cream Skincare. It has my bathroom staples in convenient mini sizes. The hardest part? Agreeing to share the Cleansing Jelly with my boyfriend…”
Fleur, Brand & Communications Director
“After a long winter without much light, we’re heading to the south of France in search of sun and warmth over the long weekends in May. The plan is set: pool, sea, beach, boat. The main goal is to bring a glow back to our tired skin. So I’m packing products to soothe and repair my skin and hair after long days in the sun:
- The Travel-Size Cleansing Balm from Oh My Cream Skincare to effectively remove sunscreen.
- The mini Travel-Size Corrective Oil from Oh My Cream Skincare to repair and deeply nourish.
- And… my favourite pair of hair minis: the Shampoo and Repairing Conditioner from Rahua.”
Margaux, E-commerce Director
Organic Set + Protect Micro Mist SPF 30 Soleil Toujours: “For me, the May bank holidays mean the joys of spring, of course, but they also often mean unexpected sunbathing on a terrace and redness by evening! Luckily, last year Oh My Cream launched Soleil Toujours and its little SPF30 mist! It’s a super-handy small size that I slip into my bag when the sun is out and reach for as soon as I’m exposed to it and feel my skin heating up. I apply it to my face, arms and décolletage… and I can sip my grenadine in the sunshine without a worry!”
Johanna, Operations Manager
"Cap Ferrat Mood" Toothpaste - Fresh Mint Lebon: "Cap Ferrat Mood. No, that’s not where I’m flying for the May bank holidays; it’s my favourite toothpaste, and it’s coming along for the ride! Because there are plenty of other things you can let slide, but not hygiene—unless you want to end up spending the weekend alone… Its travel size is incredibly practical, and it fits perfectly into my lovely wash bag.”
Juliette, Founder
“I love travelling light, and for a weekend away I pack only the bare essentials! So I pare back my routine a little (no exfoliation, masks or anything else) and keep only the most essential products. Since I’m not about to skip double cleansing, I take the Cleansing Balm from Oh My Cream Skincare, which I can’t do without, and the travel-size Rosa Centifolia Facial Cleansing Gel from Ren Skincare, which I also use every day; the Plumping Oil from Oh My Cream Skincare for hydration; a mini Eucalyptus Liquid Soap from Dr Bronner to share with my boyfriend; and my favourite shampoo, the Travel-Size Volumising Shampoo from Rahua. That’s it!
Lisa, Retail Coach
"Without a doubt, it’s the Instant Calm Kit from Pai Skincare that I take everywhere. I must admit I’m a real beauty addict at home, but a real slacker on holiday! So it’s the perfect kit for me: three products I can use morning and evening. Whatever the holiday brings (heat, sun, seawater…), I can be sure my skin will stay hydrated without any sensitivity cropping up to spoil my trip!"
Linda, Traffic Manager
"The first thing I pack in my travel bag for a weekend away is a make-up remover! I can’t leave without one… At home, I usually use pump-bottle cleansing oils like Dermalogica’s PreCleanse, but I opt for something easier to carry that won’t leak: Travel-Size PreCleanse Balm, the balm version of the cult cleansing oil, complete with a textured mitt for a deep cleanse!"
Flore, Product Manager
"The two essentials in my suitcase are a make-up remover and a cleanser. Getting back into the sunshine after months of grey skies feels essential, but not without looking after exposed skin! As a fan of Oh My Cream Skincare’s restorative double cleanse, I go for the 50 ml sizes of the Cleansing Oil and Cleansing Emulsion, ideal for weekends away! Together, they strengthen the skin barrier and help prevent my sensitive skin from becoming dehydrated."
