Beauty Essentials for Your End-of-Summer Trip

Share

Aug 22, 2024
Summer isn’t over yet; in fact, we technically have until September 22 to continue basking in the season of fun in the sun. That’s right, there’s still plenty of opportunity to grab your besties or your family and head on a quick adventure. If you’re planning a late-summer road trip or weekend hiking excursion, you’re at the right place because we’re ready to help with your packing list. Below, you’ll find skin care, sun care and more beauty essentials that you’ll be happy you packed.

Sun Care
SPF should always be at the top of the list when packing for a summer trip to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation*, having five or more sunburns can double your risk of developing melanoma—one of the many reasons why SPF is necessary. Exposure to UV rays can also cause your skin to age prematurely, a process known as photoaging. It happens when sun exposure dries the skin, thickening the epidermis and slowing cell renewal. (Learn more on why SPF is important for your skin in our blog post.)

With Isa Knox ANEW Solaire Active Face & Body Protection Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 50, you can minimize the number of products you have to pick up. Our advanced formula combines sun protection and luxury skin care in one. It contains ingredients such as panthenol, niacinamide and peony extracts to help keep skin feeling hydrated, soft and smooth. Best of all, it doesn’t leave a white cast!

Bye-Bye, Bugs
Whether you’re heading to the beach, park or lake, chances are that your outdoor fun may be interrupted by pesky critters. Keep yourself and your family safe from mosquitoes and many other biting insects with Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535® Expedition™ Aerosol Spray SPF 28. A staple piece from our iconic Bug Guard collection, this DEET-free spray repels mosquitoes that may transmit the West Nile virus for 8 hours and effectively protects against deer ticks, gnats, no-see-ums, sand flies and biting midges. As a bonus, it also contains SPF for sun protection.

Looking for something a bit more travel-friendly? We recommend packing Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes. These wipes also contain our DEET -free formula to provide continuous protection against biting insects.

Balm Sticks
Maintaining your skin care regimen while traveling has never been easier thanks to balm sticks—and we’ve got just the thing if you’re looking to keep your glow. With peony extract and a firming complex featuring castor oil, moringa and argan oil, our Isa Knox LXNEW Ultimate Rejuvenating Balm Stick helps skin feel moisturized and look smoother with a visibly healthy glow.
 
When the sun heats up, your skin, just like you, can get thirsty. Need a quick hydration boost for your skin or lips? Try The Crème Shop Aqua Cure Intense Hydration Multi-Balm. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil and aloe extract, this convenient must-have can be used as a moisturizer, primer or lip balm.

Cleansing Wipes
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Facial Wipes make cleansing your face a breeze, especially after a long day of traveling or being on the go. These easy-to-use wipes are saturated with a rice water formula that helps brighten and leaves skin feeling moisturized even after cleansing. And they effectively help dissolve and remove stubborn traces of makeup.

Parfum Sticks
As pioneers in the perfume industry, we’re big on fragrances here at Avon. And if you love to smell good just as much as we do, we have a great packing hack for you. Some of our iconic fragrances are now available in a solid formula that’s perfect for your purse or travel. Our Parfum Sticks deliver the same fragrance payoff as our eau de parfum formulas with a no-mess application and no residue. Plus, you won’t have to worry about your fave glass perfume bottle breaking or spilling in your bag. It’s the perfect on-the-go solution.

Sheet Face Masks
A quick getaway trip is a perfect time to indulge in self-care. Sheet masks are a simple way to unwind and show your skin a little TLC. They’re super lightweight, easy to pack and offer a mess-free application. Whether you’re staying in a posh hotel room or roughing it in a tent, end the day with our moisture-packed The Face Shop Real Nature Avocado Face Mask, or have fun with The Crème Shop x Hello Kitty Celebrate Me-Time! Printed Essence Sheet Mask, which features an adorable Hello Kitty print.

Lip Care
Chapped lips don’t only happen in the wintertime. Exposure to hot summer temps and the sun can dry out lips and cause them to become chapped. When traveling, always keep a moisturizing lip balm handy, like the Skin So Soft Supreme Nourishment Coconut Oil Lip Balm—it contains shea butter to soften lips, coconut oil to nourish lips and aloe vera extract to soothe lips.

Deodorant
It goes without saying that deodorant is a must, especially during this sweat-inducing time of the year. Luckily, Avon has plenty of carry-on-friendly Roll-On options to help keep the musk away.

When narrowing down which beauty products to pack, things can get challenging, especially when you’re limited in space. But if you want to stick to the essentials, we highly recommend starting with the list above. The extras are up to you. Bon voyage!
