Caudalie's Must Have Set stars five, pint-sized products in a zipped, perspex pouch - to repair and protect complexion, lips and hands with potent, grape-derived antioxidants. Starring a 30ml, handbag-friendly bottle of their bestselling Eau de Beauté, this limited edition line-up is ideal for refreshing your complexion mid-flight, or whenever the weather hots up.
If your skin is a little on the delicate side, pander to its whims with MV Organic Skincare's Travel Essentials for Sensitive Skin - a soothing and strengthening edit of rose-infused rescuers, to quickly reduce reactivity and counteract signs of skin stress - alleviating inflammation and lessening redness, so skin is re-balanced with feathers un-ruffled.

With their gorgeous Hydrating Floral Essence - the featherweight, spray-on moisturiser beloved by ever-glowing Gwyneth - alongside Caroline Hirons' never-be-without Replenishing Nutrient Complex, this 7-piece kit is brimming with expert-recommended skin care essentials.

Protective and rehabilitative, this indulgent trio smoothes and strengthens weakened strands (and they look super-cute by your swish, hotel bathtub).
For top to toe holiday maintenance, REN's Grab & Go Travel Kit represents remarkable value! At only £20, the zipped see-through pouch (regulation 'airport' size) contains 8 delectably-scented lotions and potions for skin, hair and body - as well as a full size conditioning lip balm. Ideal for a mini-break, just shove it in your flight bag and forget about it - it takes (some of) the hassle out of holiday planning - which is well worth this miniature price tag.

The unctuous Thermal Cleansing Balm eliminates every last trace of the day, while the heavenly Queen of Hungary Mist is a Cult Beauty favourite - refreshing, reparative and skin-soothing, it alleviates redness and irritation in an instant. Keep this on your person at ALL times (we know you'll want to).
