It’s that time of year when many of us are taking off for vacations or relaxing staycations. Whether you’re traveling abroad or just heading a couple of hours away, there are a few must-have products you’ll want to bring with you.

Why? Because while we may take time away from home, we never want to take a break from caring for our beauty, health, and wellness. Here are my go-to summer travel essentials.

Skincare & Body Care

Let’s start with my favorite category—aging well through skincare. The health and glow of my skin are always a priority, no matter where I go.

While I love having my full skincare routine, I don’t travel with full-size bottles. Even if I’m driving, mini travel sets are more practical and TSA-friendly. Thankfully, Jafra’s Defy, Revitalize, and Novomarine (vegan) skincare systems are available in travel sizes.

These are the must-haves I always pack:

• Cleanser
• Serum
• Moisturizer
• Sunscreen (not available in the Novomarine line)
• Eye capsules
• Hydrating or detox mask (depending on the destination)

Pro tip: Hotel soaps and lotions rarely compare to the results I get from my Royal body moisturizers—so I never leave them behind. And of course, body sunscreen is a non-negotiable!

Occasionally, I also pack my Spa Mud Mask for a little extra pampering on the go.

Makeup & Fragrance

I like to keep makeup minimal when I travel. My “essentials only” list includes:

• Foundation or tinted sunscreen
• A couple of lipsticks (plus SPF lip balm)
• Blush
• Neutral eyeshadow palette
• Mascara
• Eyeliner and brow pencil

That’s enough to help me feel fresh and photo-ready without overpacking.

Health & Wellness

No matter where I go, I always pack OnGuard Sanitizing Mist. Long before the days of COVID, I used it to clean sink handles, remote controls, and doorknobs. I even lightly mist hotel pillows and sheets.

In addition, I carry miniature bottles of essential oils:

• Breathe (for sinus and respiratory relief)
• OnGuard (immune support)
• Lemon (purifying and uplifting)
• Peppermint (energizing, headache relief, and tummy troubles)

These little oils can turn almost any travel hiccup into a manageable moment.

Final Thoughts

That’s my list of summer travel essentials—everything I need to stay consistent in my beauty, health, and wellness routine while away from home. I wouldn’t travel any other way!
