Your travel skincare: The 3‑step hydra routine you’ll love

by Jo Boyden on Dec 19 2025

Whether you’re hopping on a short-haul flight or embarking on a long-overdue adventure (who doesn’t love a holiday!), travel can unfortunately be notoriously tough on our skin! Recycled cabin air, changing climates, and disrupted routines often lead to dreaded dullness, dehydration, and even fine lines! This is why being armed with the right (travel size) nourishing skincare essentials is imperative! Cue Natùrys Hydra Kit Travel Set. We’ve basically condensed a professional-grade, high-performance skincare routine (that’s natural and vegan friendly too!) into one compact, travel-friendly kit. It’s three steps to refreshed, smooth, and glowing skin, no matter where in the world you wake up! Designed for normal to dehydrated skin, or for anyone noticing dullness, fatigue, or a rougher texture, this compact trio takes care of cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration for the face, neck, and décolleté in just a few minutes a day! Each product is formulated with bioactive, plant-derived ingredients like camellia sinensis leaf water, soybean oil, sodium hyaluronate, and peptides, which work together to hydrate, soothe, and protect so your skin. So what exactly is in the Naturys Hydra kit? The set of 3 products includes a multi-tasking cleanser and makeup remover in one, a gentle exfoliating cleanser and your nourishing moisturiser with long-lasting hydration (24 hours to be correct!) Your 3 step routine Step 1: Cream Oil Cleanser Travel often means layers of sunscreen, makeup, pollution, and recycled air. This is where the Cream Oil Cleansing and Make-Up Remover is your go-to! It’s a luxurious cream-oil hybrid that melts away everything, even waterproof mascara! (So no need for a separate makeup remover!) all whilst respecting your skin’s barrier. One product, multiple jobs, minimal space! And the 30ml size is TSA-approved and lasts surprisingly long (a little goes a long way). What’s more, it’s packed with a plethora of natural goodies. The trusty hydration hero hyaluronic acid coupled with panthenol add a burst of hydration and comfort, so you never feel dry after cleansing. While Camellia sinensis leaf water helps calm and protect with antioxidant support. And sesame, avocado, argan, and sea buckthorn oils nourish and soften, preventing that tight, “stripped” feeling of some cleansers. Use it morning and night by massaging onto face, neck, and décolleté in circular motions, including gently over eye makeup, then rinse. Skin feels clean, calm, and ready for the next step! Step 2: Enzymatic Peeling Cream Most people skip exfoliation when travelling, but here's the truth! Travel dulls your complexion faster than almost anything else! Dead skin cells accumulate, your natural glow disappears, and suddenly you're looking tired in every photo eek! The Enzymatic Peeling Cream is your glow restorer! It takes 2 minutes, delivers immediate radiance and keeps your complexion glowing throughout your entire journey! Instead of harsh physical scrubs, it uses papaya and pineapple enzymes to gently dissolve dead skin cells and refine texture. Lemon, apple, grape, and wheat bran extracts all support radiance and help improve overall tone. And after every application your skin feels smooth and comfortable rather than sensitised. Apply to clean, dry skin on the face, neck, and décolleté, massage lightly, then rinse thoroughly. Use a few times a week (or as your skin needs) to keep your complexion bright, smooth, and more receptive to your moisturiser, even when your sleep schedule and environment are all over the place! Step 3: Hydra Cream 24H After cleansing and exfoliating, your skin is perfectly prepped and desperately needs the deep, lasting hydration that only a superior moisturiser can provide. The Hydra Cream 24H isn't just a moisturiser, it's an intensive hydration treatment and protective barrier all in one! It’s basically the “big drink of water” your skin craves when you travel. It’s a silky, comforting cream that delivers lasting hydration while helping to support firmness and elasticity. The "24H" in the name isn't marketing speak, this cream genuinely provides 24-hour hydration. When you're traveling across time zones, experiencing different climates, and maybe not maintaining your usual routine perfectly, having a moisturiser that works around the clock is a godsend for your skin. Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) is the star hydrator, capable of holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. It draws moisture into your skin and holds it there, creating that plump, dewy, well-hydrated appearance even when you're on a 14-hour flight! Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 is a sophisticated peptide that does double duty, it reduces puffiness (goodbye, travel bloat face) and smooths fine lines by supporting your skin's natural collagen and elastin production. While organic soybean oil and rice bran oil provide essential fatty acids that support your skin's barrier function, crucial when environmental changes are constantly challenging that barrier. Avocado oil, olive oil, and grape seed oil create a nourishing yet never-greasy texture that absorbs beautifully. The consistent base of camellia sinensis leaf water ensures anti-inflammatory, antioxidant protection with every application. Use it morning and evening on face, neck, and décolleté, massaging until fully absorbed. It’s rich enough to comfort dehydrated skin, yet balanced so it sits beautifully under makeup and SPF. The Natùrys Hydra Travel Set is proof that travel skincare doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective. With just three steps, it keeps skin cleansed, smooth, and beautifully hydrated so you can focus on enjoying your trip, not fixing your skin when you get there!

Travel sized beauty: Compact essentials for your next holiday

by Jo Boyden on Dec 20 2024

Packing for a getaway I know, can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to fitting your beauty routine into a carry-on (and I personally love to pack everything but the kitchen sink when heading on holidays!) Well to save the stress, and to help streamline the packing process, we have rounded up the best travel-sized beauty essentials that we promise will keep you looking and feeling fabulous wherever you might be headed this holiday season! From multi-tasking skincare saviours to compact makeup must-haves, these mini-sized heroes are perfect for saving space! Keep reading for the ultimate compact essentials for your travel bag. 1. Pevonia Flight Essentials Kit This kit really is the ultimate travel companion! Each product in the kit (which includes a gentle cleanser, a hydrating and soothing facial mist, a dry oil body moisturiser, eye cream, eye gel and anti-ageing moisturiser), work together to maintain your skin’s health and radiance! The carefully curated set is designed to combat the dehydrating effects of travel, keeping your skin refreshed, hydrated, and glowing from head to toe! All the products in the kit are 50ml and under and come packed in a sleek cosmetics pouch so you can easily fit it into your carry on and use as you need during or after your flight! Game-changing! 2. BC Starter Kits No matter your skin type BC have an essential starter kit for you! Full of best sellers each pack comes with 3 or 4 travel sizes for convenience while building your perfect skincare routine. From anti-ageing kits to kits for dry, dull, sensitive, combination, rosacea and blemished skin, we couldn’t recommend these kits more, but a real favourite of ours, for thirsty, ageing skin, is the Pevonia Power Repair Starter Kit. It includes 3 x 50ml travel essentials including the best-selling Age Correction Hydrating Toner, Age Correction Hydrating Cleanser, and Age Correction Marine Collagen Cream! 3. Vie Collection Vita C Concentrated Solution A good vitamin c serum can be game-changing for skin all year round, but if you’re heading on holidays for some sun and sangria, or simply staying put and enjoying the warmer weather at home, it’s an important step to incorporate into your morning skincare routine since vitamin c helps protect your skin from UV rays and pollution. This is because this powerful antioxidant neutralizes free radicals, brightens skin and boosts collagen production and we can’t get enough of Vie Collections Vita C Concentrated Solution! It almost immediately revitalizes skin restoring its original radiance and luminosity, oh and it enhances skin tone and texture too! Another firm vitamin C favourite of ours and many of the BC customers is Pevonia’s Optimal C Complexe with Oxyzomes 4. Hubislab Moisture Max Hyaluron Complex 65% Ampoule While we can’t get enough of a good vitamin c serum in the morning, if your skin is feeling parched after a day at the beach, a deeply nourishing serum to rehydrate skin is a must! Hubislab’s outstanding complex serum combines hyaluronic acid, collagen and rosa centifolia flower water to quite literally blast skin with intensive moisture restoring elasticity and balance while protecting skin cells from free radical damage. It’s outstanding! 5. ELES Radiant BB Cream 30 with Blue Light Protection Who doesn’t love a BB Cream (AKA Beauty Balm) it’s a multi-tasking masterpiece which primes, tints, corrects and protects skin and the ELES Radiance BB Cream is no exception! This best-seller should be your go-to beauty essential when on holidays because let’s face it who wants a full face of makeup when they are sipping cocktails by the pool or seeing the sights in the sun! Not only does it contain high factor SPF for sun protection, it protects your skin against the harsh effects of blue light damage (emitted from the sun and your digital devices) and if you’re like me your be guilty of doing a bit of phone scrolling these holidays! This tinted cream melts into the skin to cover blemishes for a unified dewy, and visibly radiant complexion too! What’s more, it has the added skincare benefits of hyaluronic, vitamin e, squalane and a multi-mineral complex too! Plus, it feels like you aren’t wearing makeup either! Amazing stuff. 6. ELES Baked Finishing Powder in Diffused Light You might be going somewhere which involves sun, sea and sand these holidays but it’s still essential to be sun smart. Instead of getting that sun kissed glow from well laying in the sun (which we all know isn’t good for our skin), arm yourself with the ELES Baked Finishing Power in Diffused Light. This compact multi-tasking essential which acts as your power, bronzer and highlighter will have your skin glowing in a matter of seconds. It’s a palette of gorgeous glowing warm tones that acts like a photo filter on your skin, subtle enough for daily wear, yet gives you that truly “lit from within” healthy glow. 7. ELES Sheet Masks Perfectly compact, sheet masks are perfect for a pampering pick-me-up! They are a great way to provide your skin with a big boost of hydration, nourishment and other skincare benefits, plus they are so quick and easy to use (unlike most cream masks). ELES Sheet Masks come in 4 options from calming and soothing to hydrating and brightening and I promise you’ll love the way your skin will lap up the moisture from the mask leaving it cool, calm, deeply nourished and visibly refreshed.Not familiar with sheet masks?

Heading on holidays? The best products to prep your skin

by Jo Boyden on Jun 21 2024

Heading on holidays soon? You need to get prepped! And I’m not just talking about packing your bags (although that of course is essential!) I mean getting your skin trip ready too! Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical island, heading overseas for an adventure or planning a winter escape to the snow, ensuring your skin is prepped from head to toe is key to looking and feeling your best. Here’s your guide to the best beauty tips and products you should be including in your pre-holiday beauty routine! Focus on exfoliation The best way to get pre-holiday glowing skin is to exfoliate! Exfoliating before your trip can help remove dead and dry skin cells, leaving your complexion smoother and more visibly radiant. Exfoliate 2-3 times in the weeks prior to going away for the best results. Just be sure not to over-exfoliate! For your face, choose a mild exfoliator with natural ingredients like fruit enzymes or fine grains to avoid irritation. Try: Phytomer Cyfolia Radiance Exfoliating Cream – This creamy exfoliator gently exfoliates skin to reveal a truly radiant complexion! It features two organic exfoliants – argan kernels and pomegranate seeds, as well as Algae, Oligomer and Orange water that work together to immediately clear away rough and dull skin for a visibly softer, smoother and brighter complexion after every single application. When it comes to your body, using a nourishing body scrub will do wonders for your skin! Another option is to try daily dry body brushing. As well as sweeping away dead skin cells, body brushing leaves your skin feeling refreshed and invigorated. Try: Pevonia Silky Skin Body Scrub. This indulgent body scrub gives you, well, seriously silky skin! Oh, and its subtle scent is divine thanks to its key ingredients Chamomile, Rosemary, Lemon and Sage. Simply apply it to wet skin (use warm water) and gently massage all over your body in a circular motion. Then rinse and cleanse thoroughly with a gentle shower gel. By exfoliating the skin, it will eliminate any dead skin cells as well as dry flaky skin, making way for that silky smooth skin every time. Ham up the hydration Your skin will likely feel the effects of your holiday no matter whether you plan to lay on the beach, go camping with friends, or hit the ski slopes! The combination of travelling, new environments and likely lack of sleep can dehydrate your skin quickly! Therefore it is essential to pay particular attention to your skins hydration in days leading up to your trip. Make sure you incorporate an intensive moisturiser into your pre-holiday beauty routine to see your skin through. Apply it daily after your shower to lock in moisture. Try: Pevonia Crepe-No-More Body Cream. This product really is a a necessity for anyone wanting to achieve truly smooth, supple skin. Rich in superfood Longan Fruit, anti-inflammatory actives, plant-based antioxidants, hydrating powerhouse Hyaluronic Acid, firming Marine Collagen and nourishing Shea Butter! it will both firm and tighten the look of skin (yup!) reduce any crepiness and fat accumulations, all while deeply hydrating your skin. Honestly, after every use my skin feels super soft, supple but also looks visibly radiant and I’ve noticed how much firmer it feels in just a few weeks of use! You can also switch to a hydrating body wash that cleanses without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Use a self-tanner should you be heading on a beach getaway If you’ve neglected to exfoliate, moisturise and buff your body over the winter months, I’m certain I can say you skin hasn’t had a little heathy tan for a while either. With your pins making an appearance once again its time to get out the self-tanner for beach or pool side prep! Opt for a gradual tanning lotion or cream for a natural, sun-kissed glow. Try: Phytomer Sun Radiance Self-Tanning Cream - Its white satin texture makes it so easy to apply without leaving any streaks, it quickly absorbs into the skin and within a few hours, you’ll have the most perfect long-lasting natural tan! Result. Spot treat specific breakouts A pimple appearing just before your holiday doesn’t have to be a disaster. Keep on hand a potent spot treatment to target acne directly. Their job is to encourage rapid healing by controlling bacteria, reducing inflammation and diminishing the follicular accumulation of keratin. Try: Phytomer’s’ Oligopur Blemish Target Gel. It’s a phenomenal spot treatment which targets blemishes with precision, rapidly improving the skin’s appearance and eliminating spots almost overnight! Simply apply a small amount of product to your pimple and let the powerful ingredients keep your skin follicles clean to achieve an even and bright complexion. Don’t forget your feet! While its likely you’ll give your toes a pretty pedi, you don’t want to forget your unruly feet (especially if you’ve kept them under wraps during the colder winter months!) You’ll want to pamper your feet to make sure they are silky smooth ahead of your holiday! Use a foot scrub to exfoliate and follow up with a thick, nourishing foot cream. For an extra treat, apply the cream before bed and wear cotton socks overnight to wake up with super soft feet. Try: Pevonia Multi Active Foot Cream. Easily absorbed, yet super nourishing, this rich, luxurious anti-bacterial cream provides outstanding repair by smoothing the feet and preventing epidermal thickening. Deeply nourish, soothe and soften feet, reduce and prevent callous build-up, deodorize, restore, and replenish with this antibacterial, aromatic foot moisturiser. Pay particular attention to your hair too! We mustn’t forget our hair! We want to ensure our lovely locks are in the best possible condition to prepare it for the hot summer sun, sea salt and chlorine or the equally damaging cold winter air! The best way to prepare for this is to treat your tresses with a treatment! Try: Pevonia Hair Energize Extra Strength Overnight Serum for healthier, stronger, fuller and more vibrant hair! And don’t forget to drink lots of water prior to your trip to keep skin hydrated. By incorporating these essential products into your pre-holiday skincare routine, you'll be setting yourself up for a trip where your skin looks and feels its best. So pack your bags and get ready to glow, no matter where your holiday adventures take you!

Skincare essentials for your next flight

by Jo Boyden on Sep 22 2023

Whether you’re a frequent flyer or are about to set off on your next getaway since school holidays are nearly here, you’ll likely know that travelling can take a toll on your skin. Long flights, changing climates and recycled cabin air (eek) can leave your complexion looking dull and drab and your skin dehydrated. However if you arm yourself with the right skincare essentials in preparation for your next flight, you can save your skin and step off the plane looking as radiant as ever! Keep reading as we count down 6 skincare essentials that’ll keep your skin glowing even at 30,000 feet! Water Sure it might not be a skincare product as such but remember when it comes to looking after your skin on your next fight, the first and most crucial rule is to stay hydrated! Airplane cabins are notorious for their dry air which can sap the moisture from your skin like nothing else! So before you even board the plane make sure you’re well hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and continue to do so throughout the flight! Cleanser As soon as you get settled into your seat it’s a good idea to start your skincare routine to ensure your skin is clean and ready to absorb moisture! After all keeping your skin clean and fresh is essential, even when you’re on the move. Invest in a travel-sized cleanser that fits snugly into your in-flight toiletry bag. Choose a gentle cleanser that suits your skin type, whether it’s a cream, gel, or foam formula. Cleansing your face will remove impurities, excess oil, and makeup that can clog up skin on a long-haul flight! Try Pevonia CleanRefresh Foaming Oil Cleanser. Suitable for all skin types (but especially recommended for that dry, parched skin travelling can leave us with) this cleanser is an oil cleanser, that feels like gel and when mixed with water transforms into a beautiful foaming lather that in turn delivers a truly luxurious cleansing experience! It’s lipid rich, alcohol-free and soap free. What more could you want! Nourishing and cleansing in one. Can’t be bothered to get out of your seat, then try Phytomer's best selling Rosee Visage Toning Cleansing Lotion. No water needed! Simply apply this alcohol-free and infinitely gentle cleansing lotion with a cotton pad to remove the days makeup and grime and enjoy beautiful fresh, cleansed skin. If your favourite cleanser doesn’t come in travel size, you could try decanting it, or why not opt for a travel friendly kit instead? We are loving Pevonia’s range of travel friendly skincare kits. Hydrating Serum Applying a hydrating serum to your skin after cleansing will make a huge difference. Serums are lightweight, nourishing and help lock in moisture so no more moistures being sapped from your skin thanks to the cabin air! We recommend Phytomer Hydra continue 22h moisture flash Gel. If you do a lot of flying, this should become your go-to to restore hydration in skin both before, during and after flights. This beautiful light textured gel is like giving your skin its own glass of water to keep hydrated and the results are also immediate. Multi-tasking moisturiser Moisturising is the secret to keeping your skin plump and radiant throughout the flight. You don’t want anything too rich, instead opt for a moisturiser in a lightweight formula that will both hydrate and brighten your skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides and vitamin c to replenish moisture and keep your skin looking visibly radiant too. We are loving Phytomer's Hydra Continue Radiance Energizing Cream. It’s a beautifully nourishing but lightweight cream with a velvety finish. The products name definitely reflects the results, as this subtly scented moisturiser is both energising and radiance inducing that’s for sure! Facial mist On a long-haul flight believe me when I say a facial mist will become your new best friend. They are the perfect product (and travel companion!) to give your complexion a quick boost, replenishing tired, dry or tight skin within seconds, any time of day! We can’t get enough of Pevonia’s Hyaluronic Acid HydraMist. As well as Hyaluronic Acid, it’s formulated with a blend of ultra-calming Chamomile, Aloe, Green Tea and aromatic essential oils, making this powerhouse product ideal for all skin types, especially dehydrated, irritated, and ageing skin! However should your skin be on the sensitive side, a little itchy or irritated even, it will work its magic to calm, nurture and alleviate too. Its soo good. Sheet Masks Perfect for travel, sheet masks are a great way to provide your skin with a big boost of hydration, nourishment and other skincare benefits, plus they are so quick and easy to use (unlike most cream masks). We love ELES Sheet Masks. You can choose from a calming and soothing sheet mask, a hydrating and brightening sheet mask or if you are worried about ageing try the youth recovery sheet mask. You’ll love the way your skin laps up the moisture from the mask and leaves if feeling cool, calm, deeply nourished and visibly refreshed. Not familiar with sheet masks?
