WITH LYNDA PAPESCH

When the travel bug hits, and the suitcases emerge, it’s time to think small for carry-on luggage.

Most airlines have requirements for carry-on bags, including having liquids in 100ml bottles or less, and separately sealed in a clear plastic bag. This includes items such as perfume, deodorant, foundation, sunscreen, and even toothpaste. Luckily, there are thousands of mini sized products suitable, along with small clear refillable bottles perfect for travelling.
Here are some I’ve found ideal:

1. LuxeSticks Roll-On Clay Masks
From Metropol interviewee Samuel Levi, the roll-on stick format allows for easy, precise application without the need for brushes or tools. Each stick is formulated to target specific areas of concern, whether it’s restoring, tightening, detoxifying, or smoothing the skin.

2. Eleos Aromatique Hand Balm
From Aēsop, this is a richly hydrating hand balm, ideal for dry skin. It contains a skin-softening blend of emollient ingredients to help hands maintain suppleness.

3. Sunny Daze SPF 50+ Hydrating Face Fluid Drops
From the popular Bondi Sands Everyday Skincare range, this hydrating sunscreen is non-ghosting, and enriched with Vitamin E, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Fruit Extract and Zinc Oxide to provide up to 72 hours of hydration, while protecting the skin.
