Travel, whether by road, sea, or air, isn’t just exhausting for us undertaking it. It’s also exhausting for our skin! With lack of sleep, constant exposure to dry air conditioning, and then ending up in a new climate your skin has to adjust, then un-adjust, to, it's no wonder our skin can struggle a bit. Plus, that’s all without mentioning the reduced skincare routine!
Luckily, when it comes to travel, less IS more, you just have to make sure you’re making the most of all of the products you bring. We’re talking about natural, multi-tasking, and proven products. A.K.A., lemon myrtle.
Why Use Lemon Myrtle for Travel?
We have plenty of blogs about lemon myrtle and skin care, such as lemon myrtle’s benefits and uses, which you can access by clicking here, and the 7 key ingredients you need in your skincare, which you can access by clicking here. But a quick summary on why lemon myrtle is perfect for travel goes as follows:
- Lemon myrtle offers hydration and protection for skin in different climates.
- Its scent, paired with its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, keeps you feeling fresh, grounded, and safe while on the go.
- Our products can be used in many different ways, just read our “hacks and hints page” or the individual section on each product page!
Your Natural Travel Kit: What to Pack
So, what products do you actually need when you travel? Well, there’s really only three must-haves:
- Face Wash
More specifically, our lemon myrtle foaming face cleanser.
Not only does it utilise the properties of 100% Lemon Myrtle essential oil, which removes pollution and excess oil without depleting the skin of natural oils, but can be used to remove light makeup when pumped on a cotton pad and is perfect for sensitive skin types and ages!
- Moisturiser
Our 100ml lemon myrtle moisturiser is the perfect size for travel, blending the properties of lemon myrtle with other natural products like aloe vera and vitamin E to create an extra hydrating and light touch.
- Deodorant
Our deodorant spray (or even better for travel, deodorant roll on) is aluminium and paraben free, keeping you fresh all day. You can use it anywhere you sweat to kill bacteria naturally - under arms, feet, between thighs, and under breasts. The roll-on is even a great relief for chafing!
As we’ve said, less is more, so embrace natural from all angles and prioritise these versatile products over make-up or other products that are going to dry out and irritate your skin even more when you travel. And, if you have more space to fit three products (which, if you get rid of the unnecessary items, you probably do!) here’s our three next recommendations to make travel easier:
- Lip Balm
While you can use moisturiser to keep your lips uncracked, our lemon myrtle lip balm is deeply nourishing on the skin, keeping your skin safe from the get-go! Plus, being only 30ml, it’s an easy product to throw in on top of your clothes, with your skincare, or in a pocket without much hassle.
- Hand and Surface Sanitiser
A close contender for the must-have list above, our hand and surface sanitiser uses an organic sugarcane alcohol base with the antibacterial properties of lemon myrtle to kill 99.99% of germs and bacteria on your skin and hard surfaces - without drying out your skin! With many public and unhygienic places being used when you travel, it’s a great one to have in your bag to keep any unwanted germs ruining your trip before you even arrive.
- Room Spray
Technically a linen spray, our linen mist is perfect for freshening up a space. Whether you’re using it in a musty hotel room, on old campy gear, or merely to freshen up some clothes while you start on another leg of travel, this product is perfect for reinvigorating a space. Its natural ingredients also make it the perfect travel-fit mood booster, with its aroma and added benefits keeping you uplifted from the inside out.
Light Travel, Big Impacts
Not only do these lemon myrtle products make a big impact on your skin, they support Australian growers and family businesses, which you can read all about the benefits of shopping Australia made here. Buy our top three products, pick and choose what you need, or grab our travel care collection to know you’ll be prepared. Either way, our economy, planet, and business, thank you for it!
Perhaps try and travel locally to support other family and Australia-made businesses, exploring the rich outback, taking a fresh coastal road trip, or flying for a relaxing tropical getaway. Wherever you end up, with the lemon myrtle products listed above, at least you know you’ll be ready.
