13 best travel-sized beauty products to take on holiday
Getting ready for a holiday? You’re probably on the hunt for the best travel-sized beauty products to take along with you.
Here, we share 13 skincare, makeup and haircare mini must-haves that should all make the cut when you are packing.
The best travel-sized beauty products for your holiday
Green People Scent Free Sun Cream – SPF30 – 100ml – £16.70
If you’re heading off somewhere sunny, a high quality sun cream is a packing priority.
Green People Scent Free Sun Cream ticks all the boxes. It features organic ingredients that are reef safe, cruelty-free and suited to even the most sensitive of skin (including those who struggle with prickly heat rash).
Not only that, but the sun cream’s packaging is plant-based and completely carbon neutral. A true sustainable sunshine staple.
Supergoop! Mineral Sheerscreen SPF30 – £37 – 45ml
While many of us often use body sunscreen on our face (note: it’s always better to use some sun protection over nothing), using one designed for the face can help to protect our delicate skin from irritation and breakouts.
Supergoop! has a cult following for good reason. Its Mineral Sheerscreen SPF30 is well worth putting in your holiday handbag.
The 100% mineral, sheer skin protector provides SPF 30 protection while helping to filter blue light and prep skin for makeup.
Face Halo Makeup Remover Pad – £7
Suitcase erring on the heavy side? The award-winning Face Halo promises to remove your makeup without any product, meaning it’ll take up little space in your case.
Using only water, Face Halo traps and removes makeup for a deep clean and gentle exfoliation.
It’s dual-sided and reusable, replacing up to 500 traditional makeup wipes. It sounds like magic, but it really is a travel must-have.
Pai Skincare Inulin Booster – £19 – 10ml
Spending time in the sunshine and slathering on SPF can often leave our skin feeling a little sensitive on holiday.
Pai Skincare’s Inulin Booster helps to balance skin and its microbiome (more on that here), and strengthen its natural shield to keep it calm and healthy.
It contains inulin, an essential active to boost skin tolerance, and glycerin to hold onto moisture and hydrate.
Neal’s Yard Remedies Get Glowing minis kit – £55 – 10ml-50ml
Want to cover all beauty bases in one neat little kit?
This organic skincare minis collection from Neal’s Yard Remedies will help to brighten and nourish your skin, revealing your natural glow.
The three products – Beauty Balm, Glow Day Cream and Eye Brightener – are all made with ethically sourced, organic wild rosehip seed oil and a balancing blend of organic geranium and patchouli essential oils.
Tan Luxe Illuminating Self Tanner Drops – £36 – 30ml
If you’ve been staying out of the sunshine, Tan Luxe’s Illuminating Self Tanner Drops are ideal for faking it until you make it – with a little extra added glow.
The drops work in synergy with your existing skincare routine, transforming your favourite moisturiser, serum or oil into your very own custom self-tanner.
They’re also ideal for topping up your tan on your return home.
Percy & Reed I Need A Hero! Wonder Shampoo – £9 – 50ml
Sun, sea and sand (and heat!) can often leave our hair needing a little more washing than usual when on holiday. Opting for a gentle and sulfate-free shampoo can ensure our locks don’t suffer from extra washes on our mission to keep things fresh while away from home.
This option from Percy & Reed moisturises, protects from pollution, colour-fading and UV light, and is suitable for even the most sensitive scalps.

We Are Paradoxx Repair 3-in-1 conditioner – £10.50 – 50ml
When it comes to packing and staying under baggage weight allowances, multitasking products are your best friend.
This 3-in-1 conditioner from We Are Paradoxx triples up as a finishing balm and as a hair mask, making it perfect for slathering through your tresses while you relax poolside.
Containing Irish carrageen moss to help condition and fortify hair, the product will leave your hair soft, shiny and frizz free.
OUAI Super Dry Shampoo – £12 – 56g
Hotter temperatures can often mean our mane gets a little greasier in between washes.
This mini dry shampoo from OUAI, created by celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, quickly soaks up any oil and refreshes hair with a powerful blast of air and starch blend.
It easily cleans, detoxifies and boosts volume with volcanic minerals, rice starch, and Rhodiola rosea extract, and is another holiday essential.
Studio 10 Youth Lift Glow-plexion – £26 – 15ml
Prefer to take a lower-key approach to makeup on holiday? Studio 10’s Youth Lift Glow Plexion is a 4-in-1 hydrating primer, radiance crème, illuminator and highlighter – all bottled up in just one product.
It’s specifically formulated for mature skin, and the special blend of hyaluronic acid and firming active ingredients brighten, lift and tone the skin, while the smooth, creamy and glitter-free formula instantly minimises pores and evens out the complexion.
