Whether you’re jet-setting to Europe to freeze your butt off or heading to Queensland for some fun in the sun, packing your beauty bag for travel is no doubt at the top of the ‘to do’ list.
But figuring out what to pack and what to leave behind can be a serious struggle, and one that can leave you lugging your entire bathroom cabinet around Paris while you should be flexing your shopping muscles instead. C’mon guys, priorities!
So to help you streamline your beauty bag, we’ve rounded up the goodies that’ll keep you looking, feeling and smelling fine on your holiday, all while keeping your checked luggage weight under the limit.

FOREO LUNA Mini
The little sister of the FOREO LUNA facial cleansing devices, this beauty will fit snuggly in your travel case. To use, pop a dollop of cleanser on the silicone touchpoints and switch it on. Then, gently massage over your face to whisk away pollution, dirt and oil.
