Holiday season is upon us (hurrah!), and if you’re stuck wondering what beauty essentials to pack, we’ve got some ideas for you! So read on for our 5 holiday beauty must-haves – the tried and tested, all-time favourites that the GHB team never go on holiday without…
1. Dr Hauschka Facial Toner
We love this facial toner all year round, but it’s an essential for us when it comes to hot climates and long journeys. Spritz straight onto your face to refresh skin and keep it looking healthy and radiant throughout the day. Great to have in your bag for the beach, hot cars, or long plane journeys which tend to be drying for our skin.
2. Amour Natural Stop Bugging Me
Keep the pesky bugs at bay without covering yourself in chemical insect repellents. We love Amour Natural’s Stop Bugging Me rollerball – it’s compact, easy to apply, and contains a blend of essential oils like lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus, clove and thyme to ward off the creepy-crawlies.
3. Ouli’s All Purpose Balm
Oh Ouli’s how we love you! If we had to take one thing to a desert island, Ouli’s would be it. It can be used for pretty much everything – chapped lips, dry hands and feet, insect bites, sunburn, face oil, to smooth flyaway hairs, or even as a highlighter under make up to give you that summer glow. We will never NOT have a pot of Ouli’s in our beauty bag!
4. Oh-Lief Natrural Body Suncreen SPF 30
Obviously a holiday essential (especially if you have our colouring!). This is one of the best natural suncreams we’ve tried – and trust us, we’ve tried a lot. It rubs in clear (one natural suncream that WON’T leave you looking like a ghost) and is easy to apply – it’s also 100% natural and cruelty-free, reef-friendly, offers UBA and UVB protection, and is perfect for babies, children and sensitive skin. A new favourite of the GHB team!
5. Dr Hauschka Illuminating Fluid
For when you don’t want to put a lot of make up on, but want a little bit of a glow – this is the one. A versatile liquid highlighter which you can build to create a subtle or intensely luminous glow. With mineral pigments and medicinal plant extracts like anthyllis, apricot oil and jojoba oil.
