Flying to the land of adventure? Don’t forget to pack all your essential products to keep you feeling fresh and looking great, even when you’re on holiday. Check out our skin, hair and body care tips.
Guys tend to be minimalists. They often go for the smallest possible bag with a single t-shirt, a pair of socks and a toothbrush. Those with a more thought-out plan also throw in their shaving kit or a comb. But why not try approaching your holiday or long weekend as an introduction to self-care? Travel-size packaging is a great way to try perfumes or creams with minimal commitment. So what should you pack?
Special creams with SPF 50 and higher should be an essential part of your skincare routine, even if that’s the only product you use to take care of yourself. SPF protects your skin, keeping it healthy while minimising signs of ageing. And the Purito Daily Go-To Sunscreen feels like nothing on the skin and doesn’t leave white marks.
The Perspirex Original miniantiperspirant has a number of benefits. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, minimises body odour and prevents perspiration for several days. So you don’t have to worry if you accidentally skip a day; no one will ever know.
Your underarms are sorted for the next few days, but what about the rest of your body? We’ve even thought about your private parts. Our men have tested the Angry Beards Antistick so that you don’t have to, letting us know first-hand that it’ll keep your privates fresh, protected and non-sticky during long mountain hikes, beach runs or romantic strolls around town.
Sometimes it’s easy to have a little too much fun even on holiday, making you wake up with puffy eyes. We have a miracle for you in the form of the Clinique For Men™ Super Energizer Anti-Fatigue Depuffing Eye Gel, which absorbs and acts incredibly fast. And you don’t even have to worry about getting your fingers dirty thanks to its roll-on applicator.
Frequent shaving or grooming your beard leads to a weakened skin barrier. All you need to do is add some moisture to the mix and everything will be so much better. The gentle Clinique Moisture Surge™ 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator gel cream works wonders, only (theoretically) requiring you to apply it in the evening but lasting for up to 100 hours.
Hair styled in a way that looks as though you woke up like that? Then this product is for you. The L’Oréal Professionnel Homme 5 Force Clay helps give your hair an (un)kempt and matt look without making it greasy. So you can dazzle your way through the streets on your way to a surfing session or bar as a post-performance treat.
There’s nothing sexier than a guy with a beautiful smile. So you also need to maintain it during your travels. The Curaprox Limited Edition Black is White travel set includes a regular brush, interdental brushes and a mini toothpaste in a luxurious black case.
Travelling is the best opportunity to test whether your fragrance will last for more than five minutes. Whether you decide to get a Discovery Box full of perfume samples or a mini-sized perfume, such as the Maison Margiela REPLICA At the Barber's, a few days’ wear will let you know whether you’re a good match for each other or if it’s time to move on.
Pack everything into a toiletry bag for men and you’re good to go. And don’t forget to watch our video too.
