If you're planning to do some travelling this year, whether that be a long-haul trip to the other side of the world, or a short and exciting city break, the last thing you'll want to do is worry about finding room in your suitcase for your toiletries. Big and bulky shampoo bottles take up more space than you think, and they can't go in your carry-on luggage with you. Luckily, there are plenty of options when it comes to travel size toiletries, and we've compiled a list of our favourites to give you a stress-free way of making sure you've got everything you need.
Best Travel Sized Toiletries
Before anything else, you'll need to make sure you have your basic essentials ready. Your cleansers, body wash, skincare, and shampoo. This is especially important if you're travelling to a country with a very different climate, as this change could cause problems for dry or sensitive skin, so you'll want to make sure you're prepared with products from home.
Moroccanoil Hydration Hair Care Gift Set £34.99 (RRP £37.40 Save £2.41)
Taking care of your hair shouldn't be overlooked, especially if you are travelling to a hot country. The heat can dry out your hair causing a straw-like feeling. The sun also causes coloured hair to fade more quickly, so you'll need to take extra caution if you have colour-treated hair. The Moroccanoil Hydration set contains shampoo, conditioner, treatment, and a hydration mask to ensure you can keep your hair healthy when you travel. Conveniently, this travel-sized set comes with its own pouch so you don't have to worry about leakage, and it can be stowed in your carry-on bag as each product is under the 100ml limit that most airlines abide by.
Pixi Best Of Vitamin-C Skincare Set £14.99 (RRP £20.00 Save £5.01)
Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that helps fight free radicals by neutralising harmful oxidants and toxins. This makes the Pixi Best of Vitamin-C Skincare Set a great option for when you're on the road, brightening your skin to keep you looking your best whilst helping to prevent any damage. These handy little items can fit straight into your handbag, so you can use them whenever you feel like your skin needs a little TLC.
Nuxe Skin Care Hand Cream & Dry Oil Gift Set Best Of Collection £26.99 (RRP £40.50 Save £13.51)
The Nuxe Skin Care Set contains multi-purpose dry oil, hand and nail cream, moisturiser, lip balm, and micellar water. It's important to prepare for the change in climate if you're travelling abroad as temperatures that are too cold or too hot can damage and dry out the skin. The Nuxe set helps to prevent this damage and soothe any irritated areas. This set is a must-have travel essential, particularly for those of us with more sensitive skin.
Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom Hand Gel Gift Set £9.99 (£18.00 Save £8.01)
This one goes without saying, but if you're not carrying around hand gel by now you should really consider it. Having a bottle of pocket-sized hand sanitizer will save you the hassle of trying to find the nearest place to wash your hands if you've been using public transport or if you have been handling cash. The Bath & Body Works hand gel has three different scents infused with aloe, vitamin E, and Shea extracts to help care for your skin.
Best Men's Travel Size Toiletries
American Crew Hydrating Gel Face Wash Shampoo Men's Travel Kit £28.99 (£51.00 Save £22.01)
Men's travel sized toiletries are often harder to come by, and options can be limited to shampoo and shower gel, that's why we love the American Crew Men's Travel Kit is an ideal choice to bring along. The set features face wash, shower gel, thickening shampoo, and firm hold grooming cream to keep men looking their best whilst travelling.
Biotherm Homme Aquapower Men's Travel Gift Set £21.99 (RRP £25.00 Save £3.01)
Following on from the last men's toiletry set, the Biotherm Homme Aqua is a slightly more slimmed-down grooming kit for travelling extra light. Featuring a 2-in-1 body wash and shampoo, aqua power gel moisturizer, and shaving foam, this set may be more suited for men with fast-growing facial hair.
