Top natural travel essentials I Sassy Organics

If you’re lucky enough to be jetting off to get some sunshine during the cold winter months, don’t forget to pack your natural travel essentials. Yep, going holiday doesn't mean you have to ditch your usual natural and organic lifestye. Not sure what to take? We’ve got you covered with our top natural travel essentials.

How do I take care of my skin when travelling?

Organic face wipes are an absolute must when travelling. Cleansing wipes are a quick way to freshen up after a long commute, especially if a shower is not accessible. Keeping wet wipes in your handbag is essential while travelling as they are so versatile – we always recommend keeping both face wipes and body wipes handy. Body wipes can be used to freshen up when you can’t get a proper shower. If you’re using natural, chemical-free body wipes then it’s safe to use them to wipe your delicate underarms and your intimate areas – this is great for those long-haul flights. We love the Jak Organics body wipes for on the go freshening. It’s difficult to properly cleanse your face while on the move, which is why face wipes are also essential. Face wipes are formulated specifically for the delicate skin of the face and to remove impurities from the face’s finer pores. As always, we suggest choosing only natural and chemical-free wipes like the Wotnot Sensitive face wipes.

Sun & tan essentials

It may be tempting to sunbake in hope of a deep tan during a summer holiday, but this isn’t safe for our skin. So, be sure to pack your natural sunscreen to prevent sunburn and keep your skin safe from the risk of cancer. Don’t forget to apply face sunscreen either under your makeup or by itself as your face is just as prone to the sun’s harsh rays. If your skin breaks out, then try a natural face sunscreen that’s formulated to prevent breakouts or irritation on the face. If you’re concerned about being pale on your vacation, then we suggest using a natural fake tan. Using a self-tanner is preferable to baking in the sun for obvious reasons, such as skin damage and cancer risk. If you need to match your face to your body tan, then we suggest using face tan water. The Eco Tan face tan water makes your skin look better, more tanned and toned. Simply apply it like any other skincare toner.

Health travel essentials

It’s always a good idea to pack some natural probiotic supplements while travelling. Holidays often mean overindulging in food and drink which can leave your tummy feeling a little out of sorts. Taking a shelf-stable natural probiotic daily while you’re away will help to maintain your inner balance. If you’re travelling for a longer period of time, taking some natural protein powder can help to fill nutritional gaps. Eating while travelling often means eating a variety of delicious foods, however, the ratio of macro-nutrients can often become unbalanced. Hygiene is so important when we travel, especially with COVID-19. Carrying a hand sanitiser spray is a great way to kill germs and bacteria when you can’t wash your hands. A compact one like the Noosa Basics hand sanitiser spray is great for travel.

Eco-friendly camping essentials

Going camping? Don't forget to pack the natural mosquito repellent! Getting back to nature is a beautiful experience, but mosquitos can really ruin the trip. Most insect repellent contains chemicals that when applied to the skin, will be absorbed into the bloodstream. For chemical-free living, natural mosquito repellent is a must-have for your outdoor adventures. You can choose a mosquito repellent that’s in balm or spray form – the balm is great for when you’ve got liquid limits on your luggage or don’t want lots of liquids in your camping bag that could leak. A shampoo bar is another great option when camping. The Shampoo with a Purpose travel shampoo bar is an all-in-one that’s perfect for camping. With a shampoo bar, you don’t have to worry about liquid limits or leakages.
