Everything you need for face, body and hair can be packed into one cute bag.

Do-it-all body bars sometimes lack the luxe feel. Rituals Body Bar is soap free and there is no plastic packaging. Not only will it keep hair and body clean but the shower will be filled with a glorious soft scent. Suitable for all skin types including sensitive.

Cécred has become this summer’s must-try hair care range which is no surprise as the brand was founded by Beyonce and adheres to the four pillars of health, strength, moisture and shine. It now comes in cute travel tubes so don’t be the ‘girl with the bad hair’ on the beach.

We never travel without a little pot of healing salve to tend to lips, cuticles, inflamed skin and dry patches. Green People’s One Balm will do all of this and can also be used as a cleanser. Massage in and wipe off excess with a damp cloth.
