For the holidays, we’ve decided to stick to just the essentials! This applies to both our suitcase and our travel kit. From body to face to hair care, we reveal the must-have mini beauty kit you absolutely need to take with you. Say goodbye to excess baggage !
For Hair: Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo, Aveda
Known for its vegan hair products formulated with naturally derived ingredients, Aveda is a trusted brand. For summer, we’re packing the Botanical Repair Strengthening Shampoo in our travel kit. Its silicone-free formula gently cleanses and repairs hair from within. It’s perfect for preventing your hair from getting too damaged during vacation from sun exposure and constant swimming.
Price: 110 DH for a 50 ml bottle.
Available at Esthécare.
For the Face: Fleur de Vigne Foaming Cleanser, Caudalie
A bestseller from the French brand, this ultra-light lotion transforms into a creamy foam for gentle cleansing. Its soap-free formula is made with 98% naturally derived ingredients. It removes impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural balance. It leaves the skin feeling soft, fresh, and radiant. Special mention goes to its Fleur de Vigne scent, combining floral notes of white rose, watermelon, and pink pepper. Last but not least, its small 50 ml size fits perfectly in our travel kit!
Price: 85 DH for a 50 ml bottle.

For the Body: Concentrated Shower Gel, Yves Rocher
For many, Yves Rocher brings back memories of the first cosmetics we used as teenagers. If you’re feeling nostalgic, we recommend the Concentrated Shower Gel. What’s special about it? Its 100 ml size provides as many showers as a 400 ml bottle. Just a small amount is enough for the gel texture to transform into a rich foam. Sulfate-free, it cleanses without drying out the skin and leaves a delicate scent. This vacation, we’re taking the coconut-scented shower gel with us.It’s perfect after a day at the beach.
Price: 69 DH for a 100 ml bottle.
Available in stores or on yves-rocher.ma.
For the Hands: Verbena Cooling Hand Cream, L’Occitane
In summer, we can suffer from both clammy hands and irritated skin. To remedy this, it’s important to apply a dedicated hand cream daily. Our favorite? L’Occitane’s Cooling Hand Cream. Enriched with organic verbena extract and tapioca powder, it reduces the feeling of moisture and hand swelling while intensely moisturizing. We love the cooling effect upon application and its powdery finish that fights clamminess. Day by day, your hands will become softer and delicately scented.
Price: 95 DH for a 30 ml tube.
Available at selective perfumeries.
For the Lips: Lip Sleeping Mask, Laneige
This is a product you’ve likely seen on social media. Praised by many celebrities and influencers worldwide, this nourishing lip mask by the Korean brand Laneige is a must-have. Apply it overnight to remove dead skin cells, leaving lips soft and nourished thanks to its antioxidant-rich formula. Vitamin C helps protect the delicate skin of the lips, while coconut oil offers long-lasting hydration. It’s available in vanilla, berry, mango, and even watermelon flavors. Kendall Jenner, Kate Moss, Sofia Richie, and Sydney Sweeney can’t live without it! How about you?
Price: 350 DH for a 20g jar.

For Everyday Bumps and Scrapes: Multi-purpose Balm, Egyptian Magic
We’ve already introduced you to the Egyptian Magic balm. You might have even taken our advice and made it a bathroom staple. This natural balm, inspired by an ancient Egyptian recipe, is known for its many benefits. Made with just six ingredients, including olive oil, honey, beeswax, and propolis, it nourishes, heals, and soothes sensitive skin. It can be used as a moisturizer for the body and face, and even as a hair mask. At the editorial team, we like to apply it on sunburns, redness, irritations, cuticles, and cracked heels. Thanks to its rich texture, a small amount goes a long way. With this mini jar, you can treat the whole family, including babies. In short, it’s a travel kit essential!
Price: 80 DH for a 7.5ml jar.
