7 natural beauty products to keep your skin happy on the road

As much as we love travelling, there’s no denying that it can be absolute hell on your skin. From jet-lag breakouts to throbbing sunburn, there are so many things that can go wrong when we step out of our daily routine. However, with the right products tucked into your toiletry bag, this need not be the case! Here are seven of our favourite locally produced travel and earth-friendly products  to cater for the whole family’s needs.

SKOON. Starter Kit

Founded by a South African engineer, Stella Ciolli, SKOON. is a natural skin care collection that uses best-in-class natural ingredients in scientifically formulated combinations. Ciolli’s range is based on the belief that good, effective skincare does not need to contain parabens or any toxic ingredients procured at great expense to the environment. Quite the opposite. We love SKOON.’s basic 4 Starter Kits, which each contain a cleanser, moisturiser, serum and exfoliator and are put together for different skin types – combination, dry, normal and sensitive. The fact that these kits consist of mini containers makes them the perfect travel companion!
