For many jetting off on holiday this summer, while a much needed break is exciting, travel can take a real toll on skin. Be it dry plane cabins or long air-conditioned drives, environmental changes and disruptions to usual routines can often leave skin feeling dry or trigger breakouts.
One brand seeking to help shoppers care for their skin both at home and away on holiday is 47 Skin. The brand is renowned for the bacteria-fighting formulas that are designed to target breakouts, and has been praised by mature shoppers for being a ‘game changer for post-menopausal skin’.
For a limited time, customers can snap up the 47 Skin Summer Travel Essentials Bundle, which stars four travel-friendly products for a simple but effective routine. Usually priced at £96 but currently available for £86, the set contains a cleanser, serum, moisturiser and SPF, with every product coming in a hand-luggage-friendly size.
Their products are all powered by Silver Chitoderm, which helps eliminate 99.9% of blemish-causing bacteria while supporting hydration. According to 47 Skin, the signature ingredient creates an invisible barrier on the skin, making it particularly useful during holidays when heat, humidity and flying can leave skin feeling unbalanced.
The first step in the routine is the Everyday Cleanser, which gently removes impurities without leaving skin feeling stripped. Users can follow up with the bestselling Serum, designed to support a balanced-looking complexion and maintain hydration during travel.
The lightweight Daily Moisturiser is intended to provide lasting hydration without feeling heavy, perfect for the warmer weather, and the Daily SPF30 offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection while also helping shield skin from pollution and infrared radiation.
The convenience lies in the fact the set comes as a bundle and doesn’t require shoppers to work out which products to order, with the discount being a much-welcomed bonus. Elsewhere, Sunday Riley has launched an AM Weekend Getaway edit for £50 at Space NK, which contains a Cleanser, hydrating mist, Vitamin C Serum and Oil, the bestselling Good Genes Lactic Acid Treatment, Auto Correct Eye Cream, and C.E.O. Afterglow Gel Cream for a glowing morning routine.
Meanwhile, at Cult Beauty, this Summer Fridays Jet Lag Essentials Set is worth £45 but is priced at £35. Including everything from the iconic Jet Lag Mask, which works to soothe and hydrate skin to the non-slip hydrogel Jet Lag Eye Patches, this starter kit of in-flight favourites is perfect for travel.
But 47 Skin has really developed a loyal following of its clinically tested and dermatologist-approved products. Many shoppers with mature skin have been particularly impressed, with one commenting: “I have reviewed before and love this product it has been a game changer for mature post menopausal hormonal or lack there of skin. My skin is so happy and calm and healing and has not looked this good in years.”
Another added: “I have been using 47 Skin for over six months and have seen a great improvement in my complexion. It has suited my mature and sensitive skin. One of the best products I have used.”
Travellers who suffer with spots have also raved about the products, with one commenting: “When I say the Serum staved off a travel-induced breakout with ease, I mean it. Travel alone normally makes my skin dry out, but I had no spots.”
The SPF has also proved popular, with one shopper describing it as “the best one I’ve ever used”, adding: “Beautiful SPF. No irritation to the eyes like others, no shine, white cast or stickiness. Bonus that it acts as a great base for makeup.”
Of course, no skincare product suits everyone. One customer felt the travel bundle could be more flexible, commenting that they would have preferred the option to mix and match products, writing: “I asked a question regarding the travel bundle. I decided to buy the small size bundle instead as my daughter does not use all of the products in the travel bundle. Maybe allow a mix and match would be better for some customers.”
But another five-star review read: “It’s just such a relief now to know that my skin isn’t going to have horrendous breakouts while I’m away. Thank you for these products 47 skin!”
“Summer used to be the hardest time of year,” another wrote. “I’d leave the house wearing makeup, but the heat would make me want to wipe it all off. I felt like I couldn’t. But not anymore.”
A further review stated: “I like having a mini size of my favourite product in my travel bag. I literally saw some of my spots clear and my scars start to fade within a few days! This made me go back and buy the whole Cleanser, Serum and Mask set.”
Shoppers can find the Summer Travel Essentials Bundle on the 47 Skin website.
