The Etiket team shares their travel essentials, what they can't do without on their upcoming summer holidays!

Emmanuelle
Tata Harper Skin Care Specialist & Aesthetician

Direction California for Emmanuelle.

In her bag, you'll find Tata Harper's Floral Essence (of course!) to moisturize and refresh her skin all day long.
"I carry it everywhere with me. An easy way to hydrate my skin without having to apply creams that can be heavy to wear in hotter weather."

Sun protection is always required for Emmanuelle. Her choice? Sun protection SPF 40, a tinted version of the Elta MD range.
"I want to protect my skin from the sun while giving a healthy glow. I love the fine, non-greasy texture, perfect for any sun destination."

"For my hair, I bring Kevin Murphy's SHIMMER.SHINE to repair my hair after the beach and make it shine!"

Finally, another must-have, the Contour Kit from Glo Skin Beauty.
"I can add to my tan with a nice golden highlighter on my cheekbones and add structure to my face with the bronzer while having a natural and glowing effect!"

Jordanna
Holistic Aesthetician

This summer, Jordanna will escape to the beautiful Eastern Townships in Quebec with her family. It's all about nature and enjoying the long days and nights that summer offers.

Among Jordanna's top four products for the most relaxing holiday? Bath Bombs from Consonant to help make your bath a real oasis. Submerge yourself for twenty minutes to relax and let your muscles have a break! Jordanna is also a yoga teacher!

Vintner's Daughter Serum is Jordanna's all-time favourite - when you bring this serum with you, you do not have to bring anything else ... with the exception of a sunscreen and a facial cleanser, of course.

Which cleaner does Jordanna likes to travel with?
Huna Apothecary's Cleansing Powder, a nourishing dry powder formula that gently and deeply cleanses the skin to remove all traces of makeup, dirt and impurities. Just add a few drops of water to turn the powder into a creamy paste and activate all the phytonutrients, plant extracts and detoxifying white clay it contains. A must!

Finally, the Holi (oil) Body Oil from the Agent Nateur is also one of her essentials. The smell of this oil and its feel on the skin are incredible.
"I have seen a marked difference on my body since I use it. My skin loves it!"

Paule
Medical Aesthetician

Paule is heading to the North of Quebec to recharge this summer. Even though she will be on holidays, there is no question about neglecting her beauty routine.

Summer is all about lightweight textures, hydration and protection, says Paule! For the eye area, she opts for the GrenzCine Eye Serum from Vivier, which is packed with protective antioxidants. The texture is light, its formula is anti-aging and, as a bonus, it gives shine!

To hydrate her skin, she adopts the HA5 from SkinMedica during the hot summer season. Again for its light and non-greasy texture, and still perfect for both moisturizing and plumping!

No routine would be complete without sunscreen. Her favorite? SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50 offers maximum mineral protection, light texture and the added tint gives you an instantaneous effect! What could be better?

For her hair, Kevin Murphy's YOUNG.AGAIN.MASQUE is by far her favourite for moisturizing and repairing damaged hair from too much flat ironing and to counter frizz during a humid summer!

Amina
Boutique Director

Direction Tunisia for Amina, our boutique director.

"For my skincare routine, I love traveling with the Tata Harper Daily Essential Set. This set allows me to have a complete routine with convenient travel formats to keep my skin well hydrated and I love the ritual of using Tata's products."

"For the body, the A,C, & E Body Oil from Environ is an everyday essential that I never leave home without. Super nourishing, it absorbs quickly leaving my skin soft and protected."

Without a doubt a sunscreen to optimize protection against environmental damage.

"I love SkinMedica's Total Defense + Repair SPF 34 sun protection because it combines a blend of antioxidants, provides superb protection against UVA, UVB and infrared rays and is packed with anti-aging ingredients. I wear little or no makeup given the high temperatures so I opt for the tinted version that helps to even out my complexion."

"Finally, for makeup, I use the Cream Glaze, colour Chiffon, from Glo Skin Beauty, a hyper natural shade that enhances any look!"

Karine
Marketing Director

Karine is off to sunny Spain with her family this summer; exploring both the cities and the beaches.

Karine's holiday essentials?

"I know it is going to be hotter than hot on this trip and I want to make sure that I stay as cool as I can! I love natural deodorants but it has taken me a long time to find one that works, I like LOVEFRESH Grapefruit deodorant and it doesn't stain my clothes! It is the one that works for me and I keep the travel size in my bag, just in case!"

"To give a healthy glow to my skin and make-up without any hassle, I like the mix of shades offered by the RMS BEAUTY MOD Palette, it multi-tasks and is moisturizing. Hello shine and quick makeup!"

"The new Lebon toothpastes are as beautiful as they are effective! I discovered them in LA and now cannot live without them!"

"What perfume would I wear in Spain but Carner Barcelona? And Costarela will take me from exploring the cities to the beach with it ultra-fresh citrus notes!"

Sun protection is essential to protecting your skin at all times, even on hot days, during intense sports (Steve runs every morning) or during swimming.

"To rehydrate my skin after days on the water and under the sun, the Back to Life Hydration Serum from Pai Skincare has become one of my favourites!"

As for fragrance, how could he be without his favourite perfumes: Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules? The travel format is perfect for traveling light.

"I always like to have something to read on hand, the latest issue of the Magazine NEZ will be my reading material for the summer!

Simon
Founder of Etiket

This year, Simon will spend his summer vacation on the beautiful island of St. Barthelemy with his backpack and flip flops for a relaxing week at the beach!

He is taking three products for a simple yet effective routine to keep skin nourished, hydrated and well protected.

He can't do without the Tata Harper Regenerating Cleanser available in the 50ml travel.

For skin care, he plays it simple on vacation: the Refining Youth Serum from Agent Nateur, it offers superb hydration and a good dose of vitamin C which also offers antioxidant protection.

A beach holiday without sunscreen? Not for this redhead! Simon uses Skinceutical's Sheer Physical Defense SPF 50 - light, easy and it will keep him well protected!

His fragrance for a night out in St. Barth's? Sel Marin from Heeley Parfums, a fragrance that embodies the sun, warm sand and a soft summer sea breeze ...
