Build a Pregnancy-Safe Travel Skincare Kit #

Whether you are heading home for the holidays or packing your hospital bag, a streamlined skincare kit makes everything feel calmer. The goal: stick to products that hydrate, cleanse, and protect without taking up much space. Scan each item with MamaSkin once, save it in your Travel collection, and you are set.

Core products to decant or buy in mini sizes #

1. The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm – removes SPF, city grime, and stubborn lipsticks without stripping.
2. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser – pour into a 100 ml reusable bottle for a gentle second cleanse.
3. Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum – a single pump revives plane-parched skin.
4. Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask – doubles as a moisturiser, overnight mask, and even a spot treatment for dry cuticles.

Packing checklist #

• Sunscreen (at least SPF 30) in a secure zip bag so it does not leak.
• Facial mist or refillable spray bottle with sterile water for in-flight refreshers.
• Reusable face cloths that you can wash in the hotel sink.
• Spare pillowcase if you are picky about fabrics.

Travel day routine #

1. Cleanse lightly before you leave home.
2. Apply hydrating serum plus moisturiser and finish with sunscreen.
3. During the journey, mist and top up moisturiser whenever the air feels dry.
4. Once you arrive, double cleanse, add a leave-on mask (Jet Lag is perfect), and drink a large glass of water.

Hospital or birth-centre bag tips #

• Keep everything in one clear pouch so you can grab it even in dim lighting.
• Add a lip balm, a fragrance-free hand cream, and cotton buds for quick touch-ups.
• Save your scans inside MamaSkin; if you deliver in hospital the midwives can read ingredient explanations instantly.
