Fed up of heavy luggage but want to keep up with your wellness routine? Here’s a list of the best products for a healthy holiday that will take care of you and your body
When you’re packing for last minute holidays the key words are light and versatile. That’s what we were thinking when we hand-picked these natural healthy must-haves for your travel bag.
1. Konjac sponge 100% pure Konjac travel pack
No space for a cleansing gadget in your luggage? Fear not, this 100% natural sponge exfoliates deeply while still being soft on skin as it exfoliates. Perfect for holidays when a build up of sunscreen can cause irritation and breakouts, use it with a cleansing gel or oil. We also love the travel bag it comes with to keep your Konjac sponge protected on the go. Certified vegan and cruelty free.

2. Lifeplan Traveldophilus
If you take one supplement with you make it a probiotic. These don’t require refrigeration and the handy sachets are easy to store, carry and use. Suitable for either adults and children, you can mix the contents of the sachet in cold water or even sprinkle onto cold food. They’re super-high in active bacteria to help ward off any nasty bugs too.
3. Green People Sun lotion
This organic SPF15 sun lotion offers a totally natural 93% protection against UVB rays. It also contains a natural ingredient which works to speed up your body’s ability to tan: inositol, a naturally occurring nutrient derived from the fruits of the carob tree that acts as a stimulant for the formation of melanin.
