It’s officially vacation season - which means long, lazy days in the sun, cool dips in the sea and languid evenings under the stars. However, it also means increased heat, sunscreen and sweat - which can all create issues when it comes to caring for your skin.
So while an escape from every day life is a necessity, taking a break from your body care is not advised.
To help you vacation in style without compromising your skin, we’ve rounded up all the travel essentials you’ll need: from the best mini travel skincare, to the travel size luxury skincare you’ll wonder how you lived without, to the ideal travel size skincare kits for your carry on.
Essential Travel Skincare
Nothing beats the feeling of touching down on far-flung shores, but summer heat and humidity can impact our skin’s hydration levels, tone and clarity - often leading to dull, dry, bumpy skin (a far from ideal accessory to your bikini).
That’s where our conveniently-sized, science-derived travel-sized body care comes in.
Each of our mini-sized hand and body care products have all the major ingredients of their full-size friends, but fit neatly into your wash bag - so you can continue your body care ritual, wherever you are in the world.
If you are packing as light as possible or just taking a quick city break, this simple three-step routine of essential travel items will help keep your skin dewy and smooth for the duration of your trip:
1. Cool down and gently sweep away chlorine, sand or sea salt with our vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and prebiotic inulin-infused MOON SWIM Mini Hydrating Body Wash.
2. Clear build-up from sunscreen and sweat with our sumptuous, creamy sugar and chia seed body scrub, VIOLET HAZE Mini Exfoliating Body Scrub.
3. Don’t let your summer sojourn dry your skin out: LITTLE LOVE Mini Nourishing Body Lotion’s lightweight yet deeply-replenishing formula is enriched with over 14 performance-driven ingredients proven to hydrate for up to 48 hours.
Best Travel Skincare For Dry Skin
Summer air tends to be less dehydrating than harsher winter conditions, but air-con, sunshine and chlorine can all increase skin dryness - that’s why you need to take your mini travel essentials along for the ride.
It’s important to treat your skin with high-quality, intensive ingredients all year round to protect the skin barrier and lock that all-important hydration into your skin. Look out for deeply replenishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, squalane and amino acids.
Our SUNDAY SOFA Mini Rejuvenating Body Butter is engineered to deliver advanced hydration for up to 48 hours, through its concentrated formula of rambutan leaf extract (a natural retinol alternative), hyaluronic acid and adaptogen Siberian ginseng.
Best Skin-Smoothing Travel Skincare
As the temperature increases, we start to shed layers of clothing - meaning that more of our skin is on show. This can occasionally lead to a small crisis of confidence if we are concerned about bumpy, crepey or blemished skin. But since our hand and body care was created by a dermatologist with her patient’s skin concerns in mind, we have the perfect skincare prescription for smoother skin.
Our best-selling DAYDREAMER Mini Firming Body Serum is powered by a unique biomimetic peptide-sapphire complex alongside 17 active and botanical ingredients, clinically proven to improve the appearance of crepey skin, cellulite and stretch marks.
Meanwhile, our newest supercharged launch, KALEIDOSCOPE Mini Smoothing Body Serum, is powered by skin-smoothing shikimic acid, brightening azelaic acid and rejuvenating blueberry seed oil to improve skin softness, smoothness and the appearance of keratosis pilaris.
Little Luxuries
It can be tempting to pick up some basic body care as you pass through the airport terminal (or decant your existing products into travel bottles), specially selecting some travel size luxury skincare to take along for the ride will add a sprinkle of JOY to your shower-time each day.
Our mini, brightly-hued bottles will add a dash of playfulness to your hotel bathroom (and won’t leak into your toiletry bag!), while our serotonin-boosting scents will mean the core memories you create on vacation will stay with you each time you practice your Joonbyrd self-care routine.
Travel Size Skin Care Sets
To embrace the simple life while you’re away, our perfectly-proportioned travel kits contain all you need for a skin-smoothing and softening self-care ritual, beautifully packed in bespoke, reusable, sturdy silicone cases.

Containing KALEIDOSCOPE Body Serum, DAYDREAMER Firming Body Serum and LITTLE LOVE Nourishing Body Lotion, JUST PEACHY is the perfect companion if you’re looking to banish bumps, smooth-away stretch marks and firm crepey skin.
