Feel revitalised (even when you’re stepping off the plane) with our top-pick travel-friendly wellness essentials…
Holiday season is in full swing (yay!) but while it’s great to get away for a week of sun and relaxation, travel isn’t without its stresses.
Forgotten to pack your vitamins? Dreading the long haul flight because you know you’ll struggle to get some shut-eye? We’ve all been there.
Looking to take the stress out of travelling? To coincide with holiday season, World Duty Free has launched its new mind.body.soul. wellness space inside their main store at London Stansted Airport - and we’re obsessed.
Stocking an array of cult brands, from NEOM Organics and This Works, to anatomē and Mauli Rituals, this stunning new space has themed beauty and wellbeing zones to help you stock up on all the essentials for your most luxe travel experience yet.
A wander through its portals en route to your gate can start off your holiday with some much-needed zen.
Here are the wellness essentials to turn to for your next getaway…
1. The sleep spray
If you’re looking for your best chance to get some real shut-eye during your next flight, try out This Works’ Deep Pillow Spray, crafted to curb any physical and mental fatigue.
This spray is made from a 100% natural superblend of essential oils and it’s your lucky ticket to a restful in-flight slumber.
2. The soothing shower oil
Travelling home? We know you’ve bagged every bottle of shower oil your hotel room has to offer, but those will only last so long…
Trying to cling onto that soft holiday-kissed skin? Turn to Mauli Rituals’ Sleep Dharma Bath & Shower Oil, which harnesses the benefits of aromatherapy and soothing botanicals.
3. The wellbeing diffuser
Create spa-like serenity wherever you are in the world with NEOM’s travel-friendly Wellbeing Pod Mini Diffuser. We love this dynamic mood-booster and its essential oils.
4. The protein shake
It’s easy to forget our health habits on holiday. Indulgence is key, and greens, superfoods and our daily protein intake are the last things on our mind.
Grab Form’s Superblend Choc Salted Caramel and you’ve got a convenient, simple way to get 20g of plant-based vegan protein into your holiday diet.
5. The travel set
Jet lag, travel delay stress and poor digestion are all at risk of hitting when you’re travelling, so turn to this handy set from Biocol Labs packed with a host of plant-based travel essentials.
Essential vitamins and minerals will keep you feeling fresh and ready to make the most of your holiday the second you land.
6. The de-bloater
For those of us who struggle to manage bloat on an average day, holidays can be a nightmare for our digestive systems.
Luckily, you can trust The Nue Co’s Debloat+ and its hard-working blend of 17 digestive enzymes including organic cinnamon, liquorice root, ginger and turmeric to reduce symptoms of bloating throughout your holiday.
7. The collagen glow
We’re a sucker for that holiday glow and Vida Glow’s Original Marine Collagen peptide packs a collagen punch to boost skin’s radiance.
It also promotes and maintains healthy hair, which is needed when you’re spending more time in the pool than out of it.
8. The energising supplements
Travelling is fun, but it can get exhausting. Enter your secret weapon against energy slumps: One’s Energy Hydration tablets keep you feeling invincible from departure to arrival.
Essential nutrients will help you feel your best even after a long plane journey.
9. The tabbed toothpaste
There’s nothing worse than arriving at your hotel to find that you didn’t screw the cap of your toothpaste on properly and now all of your toiletries are caked.
Parla’s toothpaste tabs are fuss-free, easy to use and super transportable – so you don’t need to worry about travel mishaps again.
10. The shower essentials
This exclusive travel set from anatomē is stocked with shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, all enriched with essential oils and packaged neatly in slick metalised tubes.
We love a travel set – and this one’s filled to the brim with botanical blends and invigorating ingredients.
