Staycation Beauty Must Haves

Staycation season is in full swing and we are ready to embrace it.

While we're exploring a different part of Ireland every other weekend it is important that we get our travel beauty routine down, there's nothing worse than falling off the beauty routine wagon on holidays and having to get back into it when you're home! 

Especially if you're a bit of a road-trip fiend, you're going to want something that'll keep you looking and feeling your best throughout summer, home or away!

The benefit of staycations is that there's no limit to the product sizes you can bring, although you want to keep it simple enough to pack so you're not taking your whole beauty drawer with you (tempting I know).

Here is a comprehensive, yet effective staycation beauty must-have list to keep you looking amazing on your holidays!

Skin

A simple skincare routine is perfect for trips, no need for all the extra bits because you're most likely going to be wrecked from your daily adventures or heading off out to brunch, so the hours of skincare prep mightn't be ideal.

Simple and sweet for a few days is perfect, consider packing some of these products.

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 

Easy to use and adds that needed moisture and plumpness to keep your face glowing all staycation long.

Caudalie Vinoperfect Instant Brightening Moisturizer

The perfect moisturiser for a bright complexion throughout the day, on it's own or below makeup!

Bioderma Photoderm Max Aquafluide SPF 50+

You need to bring SPF on your holidays! This oil-free light weight formula from Bioderma is perfect for protecting your skin while feeling comfortable on. 

Seoulista Gold Glow Instant Facial

And for those pamper, chill nights away, tuck yourself up in a robe and flick Love Island on in bed a glass of wine and some snacks wouldn't go astray, and pop this glorious golden sheet mask on, to help you rejuvenate your skin while you recuperate your mind and body. An instant glow you won't regret!

Hair

Now that you've got your simple skin sorted, it's time to tackle the hair must haves.

You might be going to a hotel that has free hair bits, but you also might want to keep up the progress with your hair products you see making a difference!

Alfaparf My Minis Diamond Collection

This set is perfect to bring on staycation, with shampoo, conditioner and the amazing Cristalli Liquidi for styling and shine the little bag they come in can fit your hair accessories too so you've got them all in one place. 

Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner

This duo may be the one for you if you're looking for some ultra moisturising hair products, lots of sea swimming can dry out your hair so keeping it soft and nourished in between swims is ideal.

Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask Travel Size

Another one for those pamper nights, you can pop this hair mask on and let it work it's magic (while you're wearing the face mask maybe?) your locks will be looking and feeling like new the next day!

Body care

You have your face SPF sorted, now you need to protect your body. This spray on SPF is hydrating and smooth while defending against signs of ageing, and of course protecting your skin!

SOSU Water Self Tanning Facial Mist Light/Medium

Give yourself that sun kissed glow with the fan favourite facial tanning mist! Forget blotchy face tan and enjoy your gorgeous natural radiance.

Cocoa Brown Tan Love Medium Mousse

Last but certainly not least, tan! Is it even a summer holiday if you don't lather yourself in fake tan before it? Protect yourself from the sun rays and fake it till you make it guys!
