It's just as important to take care of yourself when travelling, as it is when you are at home. Some may say it's even more important when you take into account:
- the hours you spend travelling, whether it's in a car, plane, train or bus
- lost hours sleep due to changed time zones, noisy rooms or uncomfortable beds and pillows
- the stress lost sleep takes on your bodies immune system
- eating new foods and drinking different water
- being more active than usual fitting all your holiday sights in
- dry skin and hair from airplane travel and different weather conditions
All of this, and more, can take a toll on your body, both inside and out! So why not make sure you are prepared with the best personal care products to help you enjoy your holiday. It's important to me that when we travel we leave only our footprints, so when I can find environmentally friendly products to help me leave less of an impact when I travel, I will choose those. Obviously this is not always possible, but I've added a few of these in below too. Find my favourite personal travel accessories for traveling overseas, as well as domestically, here
Toiletries
When travelling, your toiletries can often take up a large chunk of your weight allowance, especially if you have only bought carry on luggage allowance. This also means you may be limited by the quantity of liquids you are able to carry. If you are travelling by car, train or bus, you also want to limit how much you carry to make the journey easier. Here are some great suggestions for travel friendly, environmentally friendly and body healthy travel toiletries.
Shampoos and Soaps
If you are looking for shampoo, conditioners or soaps, then these from Seed & Sprout are perfect. I absolutely love the conditioning shampoo bar and the body bar. I can only guess if the shave bar is as good as these then it will be amazing also! These bars usually come in small, lightweight tins which are perfect for travel. They were out of stock of the tins at one point, but don't let that stop you from buying them. I actually bought an extra dish soap which comes in a tin (and is also great! ), and use the tin for my shampoo and conditioning bar which was out of stock of the tin when I purchased.

Other Personal Care Items
Other personal care items that are necessary when you travel can leave an environmental footprint. Why not try and help reduce this as much as possible with these products. These products are eco friendly, most of which are compostable. The packs also bring a great saving compared with buying individual products.
