Nothing gets you in the holiday spirit like filling up your suitcase with suntan lotion and flip-flops.
But when it comes to replicating your beauty regime abroad, it’s tempting to pack everything and risk hefty excess baggage fees.
Stop raiding the bathroom shelves and think minimalist. Buy products in miniature forms and you’ll have more room for your sarongs, bikinis and sun hats.
All aboard for a vacation of travel-savvy beauty...
