Lifestyle & Wellness
As George Gershwin sang, it’s summertime and the livin’ is easy — unless you’re headed into the sometimes-stressful world of vacation travel. Feeling your stress rise as you sort out your summer plans? Try these six simple travel tips to bring back that relaxed, vacation vibe:
1. Roll, Don’t Fold
If your suitcase looks like fabric origami, try rolling your clothes instead of folding them. Rolling reduces wrinkles and saves space, so you’ll pack more and arrive with fewer creases. (Lifehacker)
2. Pack Starter Sets
Skip decanting full-size toiletries into tiny bottles. Grab a travel-sized starter set, like an Eminence Organics kit, so you can toss a pre-filled bag of your favorite skincare into your luggage and go.
3. Mask & Moisturize
Airplane cabins dry out your skin fast. Drink plenty of water and use a rich moisturizer as soon as you board. Our Linden Calendula Treatment works great as an in-flight mask or a heavy moisturizer to protect your skin from dehydration.
4. Use Hidden Space
Make the most of every inch by stuffing small items into your shoes — socks, a travel-sized shampoo, or other compact pieces. For extra protection, slip shoes into an old hotel shower cap before packing to keep your bag clean. (Cosmopolitan)
5. De-Shine Your Face
No time for a quick freshen-up in the airplane bathroom? Keep blotting papers handy to remove oil and stay polished without leaving your seat. You’ll arrive looking and feeling refreshed.
6. Brush On Your Tan
Heading somewhere sunny? Add instant color and sun protection with a sweep of our Sun Defense Minerals. It comes with its own brush and clicks on easily to deliver a natural mineral powder SPF—compact and travel-friendly.
