Going on holiday is the perfect time to pause, relax and re-charge. It’s a time to indulge in wonderfully fresh food, by the sea. Today, we’re much more conscious about what we eat but have you given any thought to what products you are putting on your skin?
We asked Caroline Huber, founder of Pure Skin Lab, to share her all natural, holiday essentials.
Sun Cream
We definitely recommend wearing sun cream even in the UK. If going abroad somewhere hot, this is essential.
The Organic Pharmacy, SPF 30
A natural mineral sun screen that combines titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to provide protection against UVA and UVB rays. No nano particles just finely micronized minerals that protect the skin from premature ageing and sun damage. It’s also infused with aloe, rose hip, shea butter and calendula to nourish and protect. If you’re wanting a light cream that is easily absorbed and leaves no white residue, this is perfect.
Fake Tan
Give yourself a tan the safer way.
TanOrganic.
TanOrganic Self-Tan Lotion is 84% aloe vera based ensuring your skin is left hydrated and moisturised. It’s like squeezing pure organic aloe vera juice onto your skin and this ensures your tan won’t dry, flake and will fade perfectly. All natural ingredients.

If you want to keep those annoying mosquitoes at bay.
Jason, Quit Bugging Me.
This hydrating lotion helps keep mosquitoes, gnats, horseflies, black and biting flies at bay. Benefits: natural insect repellent lotion spray. Keeps bugs at bay for up to 3 hours. DEET, PABA & paraben free. Hydrating and easy to use. Safe for kids.
Bronzing Tint
Try mixing this with your moisturiser for a healthy, sun-kissed glow for the face.
Dr Hauschka, Translucent Bronzing Tint.
Translucent bronzing tint can be mixed with any face or body cream for a fresh healthy glow. This liquid tint highlights the natural beauty of all skin tones and is appropriate for all skin conditions. Lightly dust with silk body powder for a matt finish. Truly 100% natural and organic.

If you’ve been in the sun a little too long.
Jason, Aloe Vera.
Relieves discomforts for dry, irritated and sun damaged skin. When used, skin is calmed, balanced and nurtured back to its healthy looking best. No parabens, SLS or phthalates.
Lavender Roll On
Multi-use, must have.
Doterra, Lavender Essential Oil Roller.
A handy little roll-on for multi-use. If you suffer from the stress of travel, this can help calm and relax you. And it’s perfect to use on the kids to help calm and ground them when travelling. It can be used as a perfume as well and can be applied to minor cuts or bruises to help heal and protect. Great for period pain too.
Travel Yoga Mat
Enjoy your yoga anywhere in the world.

Great travel tips and love that everything is natural
Yes so do I. I’m much more aware of what I put on my skin these days!
Great tips Lou!
I think I have most of my tanning and holiday essentials ready this summer, but I’d never heard of Lavender Roll On before! Sounds so helpful – especially for travel anxiety. I’ll check it out. I’m using a different brand right now but I’ll definitely check out TanOrganic fake tan too – love that it doesn’t have that fake tan smell! 🙂
