Summer beauty essentials
Summer season saviours: Three of our must-pack essentials for your next holiday
For many of us, the highlight of the summer season involves that long-awaited holiday. Whether it’s jetting off abroad or embracing the staycation, it’s a chance to rest, relax and recharge. Particularly, if you’re feeling burnt out after an intense period at work or through life in general, a holiday can work wonders on your mental health.
When does the holiday officially start for you? Is it the second you turn on the out of office reply? Perhaps it’s that first sip of a glass of fizz in the airport before you board your flight. Or perhaps you’re nowhere near holiday-mode until you’re relaxing by the pool with a cocktail in one hand and the latest bestseller in the other.
Going on holiday should be all about relaxing, so here at Team Ubiety, we’ve selected some of our favourite products that will help you to embrace those vacay-vibes!
Smooth travels
Flying has been known to result in dry skin, which is often due to the recycled air and low humidity in the aircraft cabin – not exactly a smooth start to your holiday. An essential for your hand-luggage is our Red Mandarin and Lavender Lip Balm, which will help keep your lips moisturised from the moment you take off.
While you may not notice after a shorter flight, your skin may need a little TLC after a long-haul one. So, pop our Frankincense and Lavender Calming Body Salve in your suitcase to help nourish your skin when you arrive at your destination. It’s packed with goodness, including organic shea butter and natural oils, helping to leave your skin feeling smooth and supple. As a bonus, the star ingredient of birch water is a powerhouse in calming sensitive or irritated skin.
Chill out
If you’re heading to a place where hot weather is going to be a given (at the time of writing, it’s also the situation here in the UK!), you’ll need to take precautions to help you keep cool and avoid dehydration. Be sure to generously apply the sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and stay in the shade as much as possible.
If you’re in need of a quick fix to help you cool down, make sure you’ve got a bottle of our Birch Water and Neroli Cooling Facial Mist to hand. Packed with ingredients to help calm the skin, it also contains menthyl lactate which provides a cooling effect – ideal for those wanting to beat the heat. Combined with essential oils such as frankincense, neroli, yarrow and ylang ylang, it helps to promote relaxation and mindfulness – particularly useful if you’re an anxious traveller!
Hand luggage only?
If you’re flying with hand luggage, we know that it might be tricky to bring your favourite Ubiety products with you. We’re big on sustainability here at Team Ubiety, so our top tip is to invest in a set of reusable travel bottles so you can decant what you need while adhering to any restrictions your airline has.
Survive the summer season with Ubiety
Even if you’re not heading off on holiday this time of year, that doesn’t mean you can’t take some time out for yourself and indulge in a little self-care throughout the summer. It can be spending some time in nature by doing a spot of gardening, or indulging in a little pamper session with your favourite Ubiety products – whatever works for you – it’s all about taking the time to relax and recharge!
