How to Make the Most of Fun Day Trips for Families

Whether it is exploring a new city, or spending the day hiking in the state park, having a shared experience with the family is a sure-fire way to create lasting memories.

However, when the time to take a fun trip with the family is actually upon you, you will most probably be drafting what to pack in your suitcase and what to leave at home, especially when it comes to enjoying quality time and looking good, without unnecessary distractions.

To help you, we have put together a guide to show you how to plan the perfect day out in order to get the most of your vacation for all involved and keep looking at your best, all the way back till home.

Prioritize self-care 

Self-Care

Before embarking on your forthcoming adventure, it is important to take care of your look during the trip, by selecting the right products that will align with your care needs and travel plans.

A key factor to consider is the size and packaging of the products in order to ensure they comply with travel regulations, wherever needed, and are easy to fit in your luggage. Also, the focus should be on sustainable quality ingredients for effective results.

Consider packing a sulfate-free shampoo that is gentle on the scalp. Additionally, incorporate styling products like a light-weight serum or a texturizing spray, that will help you maintain the desired look throughout the day trip.

Incorporate hair care

Hair Care

In case you are considering taking a dip, the chlorine in the pool water or the salt in the sea can strip the hair of essential oils in no time at all.

A great way to prevent your hair from getting damage, before and after swimming, is to apply a leave-in conditioner that is milk-enriched with UV protection filters to protect color and hydration during sun exposure.

Follow by washing hair with a color-protecting shampoo made from caper blossom extract to improve hair color. Moreover, it is available in a compact size of 75 ml.

Ensures adequate skin protection

Sunscreen

The skin tends to get exposed to the sun on a day out which can damage it because of the UVB and UVA rays. After spending an afternoon at the beach or in the park, you may find your carefully planned vacation go dull and brittle.

Besides packing a scarf and hat to keep the hair and shoulders protected, carry a product with specific UV range to protect your skin and hair. You can apply a hair mask to restore hydration and a foaming body wash with full-bodied moisturizers that cleanses the skin gently.

Stay hydrated

Woman Drinking

If you are out in a hot or sunny location, it is critical to stay hydrated to replenish the moisture lost due to sweating. In the same way your skin and hair need to be hydrated enough to stay healthy and strong when out in the open.

Therefore, gulp down water at regular intervals to prevent your overall appearance from looking dull, hair getting too oily and losing volume through constant hydration.

Opt for products in solid format

Shampoo Bars

While travel-sized beauty products come in handy as they save space in checked baggage, another way to by-pass the strict cabin baggage weight regulations is to pack solid formats instead.

Consider shampoo bars over liquid shampoo as it is guaranteed not to pop open in your bag and create a mess. Use an invisible dry shampoo that is not available in small sizes suitable for carry-ons, but also saves time and delays the wash day.

An easy to pack shampoo bar that features olive extract for restoring brilliance and adding lustre to your strands can also be a game changer.
