THE IN-FLIGHT SOOTHER

Ginger Flight Therapy, £27 | Aesop

If you’re a nervous flyer, you need this in your corner. Blending oils of ginger root, lavender, geranium, Aesop’s roll-on is seriously soothing. Focus it on pulse points such as the neck and wrists to help ease feelings of stress and nausea.

THE HOLIDAY FRAGRANCE

Colonia Discovery Set, £98 | Acqua di Parma

A holiday is the perfect excuse to switch up your scent. This discovery set features three of the great Italian house’s fragrances in travel-friendly vials. There’s the bright citrus freshness of the original Colonia – think crisp white linen on sun-warmed skin – alongside a couple of more contemporary takes on the classic. Sophisticated and timeless, this is the ideal scent trio to see you onto the beach, into the city and beyond.

THE BODY WASH

Nordic Wilds Body Wash, £8 | Space NK

To elevate your holiday shower ritual, this body wash by Space NK smells expensive and grounding – thanks to the invigorating combination of black pepper, juniper berry and tonka bean. It lathers nicely and leaves your skin feeling nourished, never stripped.

THE NATURAL DEO

Bergamot & Hinoki Deodorant, £20 | Salt & Stone

Perfect for throwing in your carry-on, this deodorant by Salt & Stone blends bright bergamot with aromatic hinoki. Promising up to 48 hours of odour protection, the formula holds up well and keeps you feeling fresh when you’re moving around all day. We also can’t get enough of the crisp, woody scent.

THE HAIR HERO

Sun Daze Sea Spray, £14 | Hair By Sam McKnight

If your hair is slightly longer on top and you’re into a slightly more lived-in finish, this makes all the difference. Creating subtle texture and volume, it helps fine or flat hair look fuller without feeling overstyled, plus it has built-in UV protection. A couple of spritzes through damp or dry hair is all it takes to achieve that relaxed, holiday-ready look.

THE ON-THE-GO SPF

Anthelios UVAIR Vitamin Sun Stick SPF50+, £14.25 (was £19) | La Roche-Posay

SPF is a daily requirement – even more so while you’re on holiday and the UV levels are likely much higher than normal. Whether you’re out on the golf course or seeing the sights, La Roche-Posay’s stick version is ideal for top-ups. Simply swipe and go.

THE POST-SUN HYDRATOR

Repairing Lotion, £6.70 | Le Rub

Long days in the sun call for a little recovery time. Le Rub’s Repairing Lotion is full of cooling aloe vera and cucumber juice, and nourishing grape seed oil to help calm sun-exposed skin while restoring lost moisture. Lightweight and quick to absorb, it leaves skin feeling refreshed and hydrated but not overloaded.
