Time to Avoid Overpacking!
Packing for a holiday can often be overwhelming. The excitement of the upcoming trip is often overshadowed by the stress of deciding what to take and what to leave behind. At Evre, we understand the importance of maintaining your skincare routine even while traveling. However, overpacking can be a common outcome! Here’s how you can pack smart and light for your holidays without compromising on your skincare essentials.
Planning Ahead
Before you start throwing items into your suitcase, take a moment to plan your outfits. Research your destination’s weather and activities you’ll be participating in. This will help you to determine the type of clothing and skincare products you’ll need. For instance, a tropical vacation will require sunscreen, our Wake me up Watermelon & Rose Face mist and lightweight clothing. Whereas, a winter ski trip will require our Super Nice Manuka Honey & Vitamin E Moisturiser and lots of warm layers.
Make a List
Creating a packing list is a simple yet effective way to avoid overpacking. List down all the items you think you’ll need, then review and edit the list. Divide your list into categories: clothing, skincare, toiletries and technology. This visual representation will help you identify unnecessary items and prioritize the essentials. This is also a great thing to do for insurance in case your bags get lost, and you need to claim items back later!
Travel-Sized Essentials
Invest in travel-sized versions of your favourite skincare products. These are perfect for short trips and help you stay within airline liquid restrictions. Luckily for you, we have a mini travel kit perfect for your next holiday! It comes with our Oh So Extra Pineapple and Coconut Face Cleanser and our Super Nice Manuka Honey & Vitamin E Moisturiser. This combination is a perfect skincare staple for both your tropical and winter trips! Depending on your skin’s needs, you should also pack a serum or treatment, to keep your skin nourished and maintain its glow.
Prioritise Your Skincare Routine
When packing, focus on maintaining the core steps of your skincare routine: cleansing, moisturising, and protecting. A gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturiser, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen are must-haves.
Packing Smart
Maximise your suitcase space by packing smart. Roll your clothes instead of folding them to save space and reduce wrinkles. Use packing cubes to organise and compress your items. Place heavier items at the bottom of your suitcase and lighter ones on top. Utilise every inch of space, including your shoes, to store smaller items like socks or our Evre Mini Travel Kit.
Plane Essentials
When preparing for a plane trip, it's essential to pack wisely to ensure comfort and convenience. Start with your travel documents, including your passport, ID, boarding pass, and any necessary visas. Pack a small carry-on bag with essentials such as a change of clothes, toiletries, and any medications you might need. Our favourite at Evre is our “Wake me up Watermelon and Rose Face Mist”, perfect for keeping your skin fresh and hydrated whilst travelling. Noise-canceling headphones, a neck pillow, and a light blanket are a must to ensure comfort during the flight. Don’t forget to bring a charger for your electronics, a good book or magazine, and snacks in case the in-flight meal isn’t to your liking! Additionally, having a reusable water bottle that you can fill after passing security can keep you hydrated throughout your journey.
Traveling light doesn’t mean sacrificing your skincare routine. With careful planning and smart packing, you can enjoy your holiday with all the essentials you need to keep your skin glowing. Remember, the key is to prioritise, simplify, and make the most of multi-use products. Wishing you all happy and safe travels!
