Heading out on vacay?

You don't have to nix your entire beauty cabinet and compromise your routine — just condense it. Today on the #geeedit, find out our desert island beauty + wellness must-haves that we refuse to leave behind.

Supplements:

Just because you're jetting off doesn't mean your wellness routine has to take a vacation as well! Prioritizing feeling your best, no matter where you are, is key. If suitcase space is tight, grab a sleek supplement organizer or stock up on travel-sized essentials so you can stay on top of your routine without the extra baggage.

Can't forget SPF:

While wearing SPF every single day is non-negotiable (yes, even on those cloudy days!), it becomes even more essential when you're on holiday, basking under the sun. Extra sun exposure means extra protection which is a must to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing.

Make sure to reapply often, opt for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+, and don’t forget often-missed spots like your ears, hands, and the tops of your feet. Bonus points for pairing it with a wide-brim hat and chic sunnies for the ultimate sun-safe glow.

A refreshing face mist:

Travelling coupled with the sun, salt, and heat can leave the skin feeling dry and inflammed so a refreshing face mist is the ultimate quick fix! A few spritzes instantly cools, hydrates, and revives your glow, making it a must-have for long days under the sun.

Bronzer, bronzer, bronzer!

No vacay makeup routine is complete without bronzer. Even if you're working a minimal no-makeup-makeup look, a swipe of bronzer on the cheekbones, temples and eyelids is key to an effortless beachy effect.

Nourishing body oil:

There’s just something about slathering on a rich and nourishing body oil after a day in the sun that just hits. While lotions and body creams are always amazing, body oils truly take it to the next level because of how they melt effortlessly into the skin and absorb quickly. Bonus: they leave you feeling hydrated, not sticky.

Pro tip: Apply on damp skin right after a shower to seal in even more hydration!

Can't forget dry shampoo:

Your beach vacay bestie? Dry shampoo simply because who wants to be washing and styling their hair every single day? A quick dusting of dry shampoo instantly volumizes, absorbs excess oil and refreshes the scalp in between washes.

A de-puffing gua sha:

It’s no secret that we’re obsessed with our skin tools, and our gua sha is practically an extension of our hands at this point. Whether we’re at home or on holiday, you’ll always find one nearby because the instant de-puffing, sculpting, and glow-boosting benefits are just too good to skip. Plus it's so easy to pack!

Bonus tip: Scope out the ice machine and put your skin tools on ice for an even more de-puffing benefits! It'll feel amazing after a day in the heat.

Here's to effortless beach beauty!
