Travel + Leisure / David Hattan

Packing a travel skincare routine can be tricky. On the one hand, you want to address all your regular skincare needs and be prepared for common travel-induced skin stressors such as drying plane cabins or extra time spent outside in the sun. On the other hand, limited luggage real estate and the TSA’s 3-1-1 rule for carrying on liquids will prevent you from piling all your favorite full-size skincare products into your bag. 

When planning a trip, it’s wise to invest in a travel-size skincare set. All the items will already be in TSA-approved containers, so there’s no need for messy transfers into smaller vessels. Buying products as a set also simplifies the shopping process since the products are designed to be used in tandem. And you won’t have to worry about accidentally mixing incompatible skincare ingredients. Just consider testing the products before your trip to make sure any new ingredients don’t irritate your skin.

Keep reading to shop the travel-size skincare sets below, including several that I personally use and love.

Best Overall

Geologie travel skincare set.

It’s a full skincare routine (including SPF) designed by dermatologists.

If you’re new to retinol, spot-test the night cream before applying it all over your face.

Geologie’s sample set includes a full skincare routine without any extra fluff. Start your routine with the 2 percent salicylic acid cleanser, which promises to deeply cleanse your skin, unclog pores, and control excess oil. Next, the eye cream (powered by kojic acid, caffeine, and niacinamide) gently helps to banish any dark circles caused by lack of sleep on your red-eye flight. In the morning, you’ll finish with an SPF 15 niacinamide moisturizer for long-lasting hydration while controlling excess oil and shine. At night, your ritual culminates with a 0.2 percent retinol formula to target fine lines and wrinkles while hyaluronic acid and niacinamide boost hydration. 

Since you’ll be using the cleanser morning and night, the set conveniently includes two tubes so you won’t risk running out. For short trips, you can leave one of the cleansers at home. The unisex set is best suited for oily, combination, or normal skin.  

What’s Inside: Cleanser (2), SPF 15 moisturizer, night cream, eye cream

Best for Oily Skin

Origins 6-piece travel-size cleansing & moisturizing best-sellers set.

Five pore-clearing products are housed in a zippered carrying case.

It includes essential oils, which can irritate sensitive skin.

If you have oily skin, or if you’re overloading your skin sweat and/or makeup, you’ll want a skincare set that deeply cleanses your clogged pores. Origins’ five-step system does just that. It includes a frothy face wash, a soothing treatment lotion, a powerful anti-aging serum, and an oil-free gel moisturizer that won’t leave you feeling greasy. In addition, there’s a rinse-off charcoal mask that can be used once a week (or more, if needed) to purify and visibly reduce pores. There’s even a zippered carrying case included to keep all the items secure. Pro tip: apply the mask on the plane ride home to refresh your post-travel skin and give you an activity to help break up a boring flight. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, mask, treatment lotion, serum, moisturizer, carrying case

Best for Dry Skin

Drunk elephant the littles 7.0 travel skincare set.

The latest version of the fan-favorite set includes a new case and a tinted SPF moisturizer.

Three serums might be too much for skincare minimalists. 

Plane cabins are notorious for drying out your skin, and if your epidermis leans dry to begin with, you’ll want to make sure you’re loaded up on deeply moisturizing skincare products. Drunk Elephant launched the latest version of their fan-favorite Littles kit, and it’s ideal for skin that needs extra quenching. It includes a provitamin B5-infused serum (to be used day and night) designed to flood the skin with intense hydration. Also along for the ride: a vitamin C day serum, a glycolic night serum, a makeup-removing jelly cleanser, a peptide moisturizer, and a sheer, tinted SPF 30 mineral cream that is made to blur imperfections while adding a layer of sun protection. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, moisturizer, tinted face sunscreen, day and night serums (3), carrying case

Best for Combination Skin

Fenty skin travel-size start'r set.

It includes multitasking products that help cut down your skincare haul.

It doesn’t include a non-SPF night cream.

Combination skin requires products that hydrate and nourish the dryer portions of the skin but also don’t exacerbate oiliness in the oily sections. This three-step skincare routine by Fenty Skin is ideal for those with combination skin because it includes products that are moisturizing and oil-free. The cleanser is gentle yet tough enough to eradicate makeup including waterproof mascara. A toner-serum hybrid dubbed Fat Water can tighten the look of pores, brighten, and reduce shine. The last step is a mineral SPF 30 hyaluronic acid moisturizer that won’t leave your skin feeling greasy. As a bonus, there’s also a single-use, sample-size packet of body cream to toss in your toiletry bag .

What’s Inside: Cleanser, toner-serum hybrid, SPF 30 moisturizer, body cream (sample size)

Best for Sensitive Skin

Tula discovery 5-piece essentials kit.

The no-frills skincare products can all be used morning and night.

It doesn’t include SPF.

Tula’s skincare products are powered by probiotic extracts, superfoods, and other ingredients designed to prevent irritating the skin. This travel-friendly set includes a turmeric-infused, makeup-removing gel cleanser, which is perfect for evening skincare routines. Next, a glycolic acid toner exfoliates and hydrates your skin, followed by an illuminating serum featuring Japanese mandarin. The last step is a non-comedogenic squalane-infused moisturizer. Since all the products can be used both day and night, you won’t need to double up on any of your items, ultimately giving you more luggage space. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, carrying case

Best for Acne-prone Skin

Paula's choice mini clear skin starter set.

The set includes salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to fight breakouts.

The active ingredients can irritate sensitive skin.

Traveling can exacerbate acne: air quality, change in humidity levels, and water quality (to name a few) can make your skin upset. If your face is prone to breakouts, consider vacationing with a set designed to stave off pimples, like this one from Paula’s Choice. It includes a salicylic acid cleanser, a two percent salicylic acid exfoliating solution, a two and a half percent benzoyl peroxide spot treatment, and an oil-free gel-cream moisturizer. Just remember that salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide can both increase sensitivity to the sun, so it’s important to follow your skincare regimen with SPF 30 or higher (not included in this set) for daytime use. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, exfoliating solution, spot treatment, moisturizer

Best with SPF

Dermstore best of dermstore: the travel edit kit.

It includes a variety of mini products, from cult-favorite under-eye patches to whitening toothpaste.

It’s best for people who enjoy more extensive skincare routines.

No matter where you’re headed, SPF should be a top-tier item on your packing list. This 11-piece collection includes two SPF 30 products to shield your skin from harmful rays: a minty lip balm and a mineral sunscreen. Other delights in the zippered carrying case include a gentle gel cleanser, a brightening eye cream, two nourishing moisturizers, non-aerosol dry shampoo, and whitening toothpaste. For those who don’t mind a few extra steps in their vacation skincare routine, there’s also an exfoliating peel, a retinol serum, and under-eye patches. Travel + Leisure editors are big fans of using under-eye patches on long-hauls flights , so we recommend using those to arrive at your destination looking fresh and feeling hydrated. 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, eye cream, two moisturizers, peel pads, retinol serum, sunscreen, lip balm, dry shampoo, under-eye patches, carrying case

Best for Lips

Laneige icons to go set.

The overnight lip mask can be used during the daytime, too.

It doesn’t include a cleanser or SPF.

This set helps deliver a surge of hydration to your skin and lips — which is likely much needed if you’ve just exited the dry atmosphere of a plane cabin. After cleansing, gently pat the ceremide- and peptide-filled cream-toner hybrid into your skin. Follow with the hyaluronic acid moisturizer, and finish with the leave-on water sleeping mask at night. Though the lip balm included in this set is technically an overnight lip mask, many people (including me) multipurpose it for daytime use as well. It’s thick without being sticky, and it has a delicious berry scent. 

What’s Inside: Toner, day moisturizer, lip mask, night moisturizer

Best for Eyes

Kiehl’s on-the-go essentials gift set.

It includes a nourishing and creamy avocado eye treatment.

Retinol (in the serum) can irritate sensitive skin.

Red-eye flights can lead to tired, puffy eyes, but this six-piece set has the perfect antidote: Kiehl’s fan-favorite avocado oil- and shea butter-infused eye cream, which promises to hydrate, depuff, and brighten eyes. Other goodies in this bundle include a foaming squalane cleanser, a potent daily retinol serum, a squalane face moisturizer, and a nighttime face oil that targets wrinkles and fine lines. If your skin tends to get oily or break out, you’ll enjoy the included rinse-off face mask. The Amazonian white clay and aloe mask are designed to minimize pores and blackheads when left on the skin for 10 minutes (per the brand’s instructions). 

What’s Inside: Cleanser, retinol serum, eye cream, mask, moisturizer, face oil

Best for Body

Alo glow system discovery set.

The six-piece set includes both face and body products.

Sunscreen is not included.

If your trip accommodation is not a hotel, you may need to pack your own body wash and lotion. In this case, this face and body set from Alo is a great option. It includes a brightening enzyme facial cleanser, which you’ll follow with an unscented facial moisturizer. For your body routine, there’s a hydrating vitamin C body wash and a destressing superfruit body lotion. There’s also a head-to-toe glow oil, which promises to deeply hydrate the skin and lock in moisture. A magnesium and vitamin C body spray that can relieve muscle tension will come in handy for adventurous types that have an activity-filled trip planned.  

What’s Inside: Face cleanser, face moisturizer, body wash, body lotion, face and body oil, body mist

Tips for Buying Travel-size Skincare Kits

Consider size limitations and quantity.

The TSA limits the amount of liquids, gels, and aerosols that can be stowed in your carry-on to 3.4 ounces apiece. Beyond that, all of your liquids must fit in one quart-sized resealable bag. If you want to travel with more liquids or larger-sized containers, they must be packed in your checked bag . 

When choosing a travel-size skincare kit, consider other liquids that you’ll need to add as well, including (but not limited to) toothpaste, sunscreen, bug spray, shampoo, and conditioner. If you’re having trouble fitting all of your items in a quart-sized bag, consider leaving behind some items (like body wash and shampoo) that are typically made available in hotel bathrooms. 

Choose the best set for your skincare needs

When you travel, it’s important to consider your skin type (normal, oily, combination, or sensitive) and choose a travel-sized skincare set that’s tailored to your skin’s specific needs. You’ll also want to be mindful of your trip destination and any intended activities. For instance, if you’re traveling to a colder climate, be prepared for drier skin and chapped lips. If you’re headed to a beachy location, don’t forget to load up on sunscreen .

Any liquid, gel, or aerosol skincare products in your carry-on or personal item must be 3.4 ounces or less. If you want to carry-on a product that comes in a larger container, consider transferring it to a 3.4-ounce-or-less leak-proof vessel before your flight or packing it in your checked bag. 

The air circulated in plane cabins is very dry, and therefore can leave your skin feeling dry as well. It’s advised to moisturize your face and lips before you board a plane. On long-haul flights, you may want to carry a travel-size moisturizer and lip balm with you to reapply hydration mid-flight.

I'm a Beauty Editor and Aesthetician—14 Travel-Friendly Skincare Sets I Recommend for Summer and Beyond

If you're headed on a long trip or simply dread the prospect of packing (don't we all?), instead of throwing the contents of your skincare shelf into your suitcase or collating a hodgepodge of samples and decanted containers, consider a travel skincare set. There's nothing more seamless and (let's face it) travel friendly than a selection of curated skincare minis. Plus, if you're travelling hand luggage only, a set is a great way to keep within TSA limits and give yourself an in-flight skincare top-up. But with so many options to choose from, including your own skin type and goals to consider, it can be difficult to decide which skincare sets will best replace your daily skincare routine, last for the entirety of your trips, and really be worth the splurge.

As a beauty editor and aesthetician who frequently travels, I've learned what to look out for and what to avoid when it comes to travel skincare sets. Basically, look for something that like-for-like replaces as much of your home skincare routine as possible, stick with ingredients and (where possible) brands that your skin already knows and loves, and don't buy anything with products that you know you won't get any use out of.

If your summer travels are fast approaching, you're in the right place. Below, you'll find the best travel skincare sets for summer 2024.

The Best Carry-On-Friendly Skin-Care Kits You Should Pack When Traveling, According to a Dermatologist

Traveling is all fun and games until you start to wonder, How in the world am I going to keep up with my skin-care routine? Whether you have a 10-step regimen  or stick with the basics , consistency is key when it comes to maintaining your glow. That’s exactly why your skin will thank you for becoming familiar with the best travel skin-care kits.

Complexion upkeep starts as soon as you take off, so don't wait until you land to start digging into your travel-sized goodies. "Cabin air is often less than 20 percent humidity, whereas at home, humidity is 30 percent or more," says  Gretchen Frieling , MD, a board-certified dermatopathologist. "That means that skin will lack moisture and dry out faster."

• Anna Guanche, MD , Anna Guanche, MD, is a board-certified dermatologist and the owner of Bella Skin Institute in Calabasas.

With that in mind, you'll want to double down on hydrating ingredients while you're in the air... and keep it going after you've touched down. Anna Guanche, MD , a board-certified dermatologist and owner of Bella Skin Institute in Calabasas, CA, recommends using “a light hydrating hyaluronic acid serum that is fragrance-free" and applying "a hydrating mask about an hour before landing.” If you’re not quite comfortable looking like Jason from Friday the 13th around your airplane companions, you might also consider using eye masks, says Dr. Guanche. For a little extra hydration, Dr. Frieling's a fan of keeping a facial spray on hand to spritz as needed.

Of course, what you put into your body is as important as what you put on your skin. “First of all, I tell people who are traveling that they should hydrate and drink plenty of water, since the airplane dehydrates them,” says Dr. Guanche. According to Dr. Guanche, you also want to be mindful of how much caffeine and alcohol you drink on travel days because they can “exacerbate the dry, sallow look [people] can sometimes have after traveling.”

To maintain these solid skin-care practices once you've reached your final destination, invest in one of these travel skin-care kits that will keep your complexion in tip-top shape when you're traveling for the holidays—or, really, whenever.

The best travel skin-care kits to pack in your carry-on to keep your skin glowing

Even though “at home” is in the name, this is absolutely one of the best skin-care travel kits. It’s got three of Murad’s fan-favorite retinol products (a serum, a moisturizer, and an eye cream)—all of which are designed to be gentle enough for use on all skin types—plus a cleanser. Since a lot of the products contain hyaluronic acid, it’s safe to say Dr. Guanche would recommend this kit to keep skin hydrated while on the go.

The Tatcha Mini Treasure Set is a great way to sample some of the Tatcha Greats. You get the one-step Camellia Cleansing Oil (which will remove makeup and clean your face in one fell swoop) as well as The Deep Cleanse, The Essence, The Water Cream, and The Dewy Skin Cream. All are formulated to infuse maximum hydration that truly does show (W+G editors can vouch for this). What more could one ask for from a travel skin-care kit?

The products in this kit include barrier-repairing goat milk and probiotics, which help fight free radicals that can cause premature aging. The set features a moisturizer, an exfoliating jelly cleanser, an eye serum, and a ceramide serum. If all that wasn’t enough to convince you, the kit also comes with a travel bag for easy storage and an adorable gingham hair clip.

A travel skin-care routine doesn’t have to feature 10 steps in order for it to be effective. This travel-friendly skin care kit by Clinique makes skin care simple by narrowing it down to a three-step routine and focusing on the basics (and when you’re traveling, sometimes basic is best). Formulated for dry skin, this kit comes with a gentle cleanser, a clarifying lotion, and a moisturizing lotion.

Florence by Mills (created by Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown) has a travel skin-care set, and it’s pretty excellent—and pretty affordable. It has five stars on Target, and comes with a facial cleanser, a moisturizer, a facial mask treatment, and some beauty products—like a lip gloss, mascara, and blush. What we really love about this set is the Dreamy Dew Moisturizer and Mind Glowing Peel Off Mask—both are rich in hydrating ingredients that’ll make your skin happy.

With this TSA-approved skin care kit, you’ll be able to exfoliate, tone, and hydrate your skin. It also comes with a night cream so that you can take care of your skin as you catch some Zzzs. Since this kit is made specifically for jet-setters, it also comes with a bag to store all your goodies in.

The five products in this skin care travel kit include a cleanser, mask, treatment lotion, serum, and a moisturizer. Some of the key ingredients in this kit are mint, which can reinvigorate your skin’s appearance; niacinamide, which reduces the appearance of pores; and caffeine from coffee, which is a natural way to recharge your skin.

This is one of those skin-care travel kits that lets you treat yourself from head to toe. The Osea cleanser removes surface impurities while the hyaluronic sea serum keeps your skin hydrated by using hyaluronic acid. You also get protection cream, body oil, and a vegan leather bag.

If you’re looking for a travel skin-care kit that treats and prevents breakouts, look no further than this Tula set. It comes with four products: a foaming cleanser, an acne-fighting moisturizer, and a treatment mask. To boot, it comes with a matching travel bag that I kind of want to use as a clutch.

Rihanna is the queen of so many things, skin care included. Featuring a travel-size mini makeup remover and cleanser, a toner-serum, and a sunscreen-moisturizer, this definitely counts as one of the travel skin-care kits that checks all the boxes (and, bonus, that will cut a few steps from your routine). Plus, it now includes a sample of Fenty’s popular Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream (you’ll be thanking yourself you bought it if your hotel room doesn’t supply you with complementary body lotion).

Drunk Elephant re-launched its famous “Littles” a few months ago—just in time for holiday travel. The kit has all of the “big 5” products derms consider non-negotiables for a well-rounded routine (a cleanser, a vitamin C serum, an exfoliating serum, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen—plus a facial oil as an added bonus), so you can literally throw it in your bag and be out the door without a second thought.

The best travel beauty kits to sling in your hand luggage

By Anita Bhagwandas

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

This is a slightly traumatic memory to relive, but regale it I shall for last-minute packers everywhere. I was headed to the airport for a work trip and realised I hadn’t packed any perfume, so I slung my beloved Coromandel Les Exclusifs De Chanel fragrance into my handbag. It looked around 100ml I thought (very wrong), and even if it weren’t, surely they’d let me through with it anyway; it’s just perfume, right? (wrong again.) Cut to several hours later at the airport security gates and as my colleagues watched in horror when a security guard held up my Chanel, shook his head and said, “ This is DOUBLE the amount you’re allowed. It’s a no.”

I know this was a real rookie error; the 100ml rule has been in place since 2006, but my stomach lurched at the thought of losing the scent I’d been given for my birthday just a few weeks before. I started welling up a bit, but thankfully a sense of humanity intervened and I was excused with my Chanel – and a stern warning. It was a lesson I heeded, and since then, I’ve always double-checked before I’ve packed a beloved product.

Chances are, you’ve been there too – we all have. So to take the hassle out of last-minute trips, size checking and decanting, these are my favourite beauty travel kits that you can simply grab before you fly. Even when the 100ml rule is eventually scrapped, these are still super useful for all your travel adventures as a space saver and a chance to try new products without committing to the full-size ones.

However, wasted travel minis are an environmental issue. If you have any you don’t like or know you won't use; you can donate used and unused products to those who need them via the Toiletries Amnesty .

The best skincare travel kits

Sunday Riley’s well-deserved cult following comes from her science-backed products and fast-acting botanicals. The Ceramic Clip Cleanser is ideal for dissolving pollution and soothing skin, while the retinoid serum, eye cream, and sleep oil ensure your skin looks refreshed upon waking (even if a child has kicked the back of your seat for the entire journey.) It’s the ultimate night-time routine in a handy box.

If you want skincare that really delivers, meet Spanish brand Natura Biseé. This rich skincare kit is perfect for anyone with dry or mature skin or perhaps headed to the cooler climes and pistes. It houses seven of their skincare best-sellers, including the Diamond Extreme Cream and Eye Cream – plus, for a limited time, 100% of the proceeds benefit The Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation, which offers education for aestheticians and skincare guidance for people undergoing oncology treatments.

You know when you arrive at your hotel looking like you’ve been through it, with a slightly haunted look in your eyes? This grab-and-go kit from Aesop can fix that. It contains a useful shampoo and conditioner, but the body cleanser with uplifting geranium and body balm infused with energising rind are great to soothe dry skin and put the spring back in your step.

If you’re looking for ultra-chic minis that work as well as they look, pick up this skincare kit from Soho Skin. It includes a cleanser, mask, moisturiser, eye cream, lip balm, serum and shave gel; everything you’d both need and want for your travels. The line is super gender-neutral, so it’s perfect for sharing when you travel or gifting to the holiday-lovers in your life.

Is your skin reactive when you travel? I feel your pain. Try this MANTLE mini kit, housing a selection from their CBD-infused calming skincare line. I’m a big fan of their creamy Magic Milk cleanser, which aims to balance your microbiome and gently clear dead skin cells with fruit enzymes, whilst their rich moisturising cream, mist, and body exfoliator complete this must-have skin and body care kit.

If you’re jet-setting soon, then spend some time at the Duty-Free counter. There are often incredible Duty Free-only purchases, including this Esteé Lauder travel set that contains a smaller size of their award-winning Advanced Night Repair and a full-size Advanced Night Repair Eye Gel-Creme. If flying takes its toll on your skin, slather these on, get an eye mask ready and prepare to wake up with fresh-looking, rested skin.

If you’re already a fan of beauty journalist Sali Hughes’ uncomplicated skincare range, you’ll love this mini set. It comes in a handy 100% cotton bag containing a mini cleanser, exfoliant, serum and moisturiser in 10ml sizes that are ideal for weekends away and gym bags alike. They’re so small they’ll fit into the tiniest hand luggage and are perfect for keeping to decant from the full-sized products.

If your trips are long, or you’re digital nomading (we can make that a verb, right?), this kit has all your essentials nailed. Pack the Total Cleansing Oil, 150ml, and Moisture Rich Body Lotion, 200ml, into your check-in luggage , but everything else is under 100ml. The Velvet Cleansing Milk is perfect for ridding your skin of make-up and grime just after you board, whilst the Blue Orchid Face Treatment oil makes for the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine and your favourite film. Containing a huge 12 products housed in a classic Clarins red vanity case, this is a must-have for frequent travellers.

If you’re looking for the best travel bottle set to decant your own products into, then this is it. These silicone bottles are leak-proof, you can clean them in a dishwasher, easy to fill, and the right carry-on liquid size. You’ll never look back.

Holidays are glorious; packing for them, less so. How to distil your extensive skincare routine into a not comically large wash bag, or worse still into a hand-luggage friendly 20cm bag, without the faff of decanting?

These skincare sets from some of our absolute favourite brands contain standout products in mini sizes, and most are comprehensive sets so you won’t even have to think about what you need.

For those with more specific concerns, such as sun damage or dehydrating aeroplane cabins, there are smaller sets with targeted products, too.

Even if you’re not jetting off this year, we’d recommend many of these sets, such as Tata Harper’s or Drunk Elephant’s, as a more affordable way to get acquainted with a new brand.

All of these contain products that are already firm favourites of ours, and we’ve discovered a few new ones too.

You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent .

REN Clean Getaway: £29.75, John Lewis & Partners

Clean getaway is our go-to for a relaxing weekend in the country or a luxury hotel break: it’s the closest thing you’ll get to a spa experience in travel-size minis. The products are all focused on gentle, soothing results, with skincare (cleanser, moisturiser and mask) from REN’s Evercalm range, its & Now To Sleep pillow spray to encourage a good night’s kip, and the energising kelp and magnesium body wash and lotion for your shower come morning.

Drunk Elephant The Littles: £71, Cult Beauty

We’d recommend buying this one even if you’re not planning to leave the house this summer; it’s a brilliant way to discover the best of cult-favourite US brand Drunk Elephant, which has won us over with its no-nasties, effective products and colourful packaging. We’d be hard-pushed to choose our favourites, but B-Hydra intensive hydration serum and C-Firma day cream are both up there.

Patchology On The Fly: £18, Space NK

Patchology’s kit goes one step beyond travel-friendly minis of your usual products with its set of masks specifically designed to ward off parched post-flight skin. With two soothing, moisturising sheet masks (illuminate and hydrate) and two patch masks (eye and lip), there’s everything you need for some serious damage control.

Elemis The Luxury Travel Collection: £65, Elemis

There’s not even any packing required with this set from Elemis, which comes housed in a beautiful wash bag designed by fashion illustrator Megan Morrison. Inside you’ll find seven much-loved products plus a face cloth for proper cleansing. Our favourites are the pro-collagen marine cream and cleansing balm, and the frangipani monoi body cream, all of which we regularly use in full-size too.

Murad Travel Light Travel Bright: £25, Feel Unique

You couldn’t find a much better companion for a sunny break. Murad’s travel light kit contains minis of its Essential-C day moisture SPF 30 – which is hydrating, rich in antioxidants (to protect skin from environmental aggressors) and has all-important sun protection – and its age-spot correcting serum to help improve areas where the damage has already been done.

Omorovicza Mix and Match Travel: From £26, Omorovicza

For a personalised approach, Hungarian luxury skincare brand Omorovicza allows you to choose three travel-size products to suit you (the price varies depending on what you pick). Our dream selection features all our favourites: thermal cleansing balm, copper peel and illuminating moisturiser.

Balance Me Hydrated Skin Set: £15, Balance Me

This, from the natural beauty brand, is a no-fuss solution to both packing and skincare. Its pared-down combination of face wash, eye cream, moisturiser and a refreshing face mist is all you’ll need for a carefree holiday, no thinking required.

Tata Harper Daily Essentials: £65, Cult Beauty

Another great choice to discover the best of a cult US brand, the Daily Essentials set includes some of our Tata favourites, such as the rejuvenating serum and resurfacing mask, all in the same gorgeous, green frosted glass packaging you get with full-size. “Queen of Green”, Tata Harper’s 100 per cent natural and organic line, is much-loved by beauty editors.

Sunday Riley Flash Fix Kit: £28, Cult Beauty

A power pairing of cult products, this duo is all about exfoliating and brightening your skin. Ceramic slip cleanser uses three kinds of clay (of the kind often seen in purifying masks) to draw out excess oil and grime, and has a silky gel texture. Follow it up with exfoliating serum good genes, which uses glycolic acid to dissolve dead skin cells and revive dull skin.

Kate Somerville Face the Glow: £56, Space NK

This radiance-boosting trio would be just as good for someone needing a quick turnaround pre-party season as for getting a summer holiday glow. Containing three products from A-list facialist Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate range – the face wash, quick wash-off exfoliating treatment and AHA moisturiser – it gives soft, bright skin.

The verdict: Travel-sized skincare sets

REN’s ​Clean Getaway is our Best Buy as it contains all the essentials and a little bit of luxury too. For something that is a great introduction to a brand too, we’d pick Elemis’s Travel Collection or Drunk Elephant’s The Littles .

It is very important to take care of their skin while traveling. For this, there are various travel-size skin care kits and products available in the market that you can easily carry with you anywhere. Some of the best compact beauty regimens are listed above. But how do you choose the right skincare kit for your skin requirements? Check out the buying guide below to get an idea.

How To Pick The Best Travel-Size Skin Care Kits And Products

Ingredients: Always choose convenient travel skincare kits that contain products made with natural, skin-friendly, and hydrating ingredients such as jojoba oil, shea butter, aloe, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin C, amla extracts, green tea, glycerin, cucumber, sunflower seed extracts, etc. Avoid using skin care products that contain paraben, sulfate, phthalate, cruelty, mineral oil, petroleum, gluten, alcohol, and other harmful ingredients. Stick to mini beauty essentials that have a lightweight formula while traveling.

Skin Type: You must use travel-size skincare kits according to your skin type. If you have dry skin then go with a kit that includes a gentle cleanser to remove impurities, a toner to offer proper hydration, a daily moisture-rich cream, and a sheet mask. If you have normal skin go for a kit that contains a foaming face wash, moisturizing cream, and a face mask. For combination skin, go for a skincare kit that includes a face cleanser, alcohol-free toner, daily moisturizing cream, and a face mask. If you have oily skin, then go for foaming face wash, non-greasy cream, a face toner, and a sheet mask. Sheet masks are crucial in a traveling skin care kit because they provide the extra boost of hydration that your skin loses being exposed to the elements.

Skin Issues: If you have specific skin issues like dermatitis, fungal acne, rosacea, deep wrinkles, acne, etc. look for special travel kits that cater to these skin needs. These kits may come with a few extra products to make sure your skin remains healthy even when you spend extended periods of time outdoors.

SPF: When you are considering travel-size skin care products or kits, then SPF is one of the most important things you should consider. Check if the products contain SPF 30 or more to offer your skin the best protection against UV rays and sunburns.

Size: TSA-friendly, travel-ready skincare kits come in different product ranges. Note how many products each kit is offering. You can choose your on-the-go skincare essentials according to your skincare regimen so that you don’t alter your skincare routine even if you are traveling.

The Bottom Line

If you’re a jetsetter, you simply cannot ignore your skin even when on the go! Travel-size miniature skincare regimen kits and products can be useful if you constantly move from one place to another due to work. From pocket-sized facial moisturizers to night gels, these starter travel kits comprise everything you need while vacationing or going for an overseas work meeting. The e.l.f. Jet Set Hydration Kit offers a complete skincare routine in travel-friendly sizes, making it ideal for those on the go, the LANEIGE Besties Set provides two popular products that effectively hydrate and rejuvenate the skin and lips, and the Tatcha The Starter Ritual Set involves premium skincare essentials offering anti-aging benefits. These travel essential products help you get the radiant finish and glow that you need when you are sleep-deprived and traveling for days. However, always opt for TSA-approved kits and steer clear of the travel-size skincare kits that fail to nourish the deeper layers of your skin.

The Best Travel Size And Kits For Your Skin Care Routine

Posted by Skin Elite on Aug 15th 2022

Do you have a favorite skincare routine that you like to stick to when you travel? While it might be tempting to just bring your regular products with you on your trip, there are some great travel sizes and kits out there that will make packing a breeze. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the best options for keeping your skin looking its best while on vacation. Whether you're looking for something compact and easy to pack or something that includes all of the essentials, we've got you covered! So read on to find out more about the best travel-sized skin care products available!

Cleansing Wipes

Cleansing wipes are a convenient way to clean your skin when you're on the go. They're perfect for travel, and they can also come in handy if you don't have access to a sink or shower. There are many different types of cleansing wipes available, so it's important to choose the ones that are best suited for your needs.

If you're looking for a gentle but effective way to clean your skin, consider using cleansing wipes made with natural ingredients. Alternatively, if you want something that will remove stubborn makeup and dirt, try using wipes with an oil-based formula. No matter what type of cleansing wipe you choose, be sure to read the label carefully to make sure that it is safe for your skin type.

A good toner is essential for any skincare routine. Not only does it help to remove any remaining traces of makeup or dirt, but it can also help to soothe and refresh your skin. If you're looking for a travel-friendly option, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, consider the size and portability of the bottle or container. You want something that will be easy to pack and won't take up too much space. Second, make sure the toner is alcohol-free.

Alcohol can be drying and harsh on your skin, especially if it's already been through a lot of sun and wind exposure. Finally, choose a toner that fits your specific needs. If you have oily skin, look for a toner that contains ingredients like witch hazel or salicylic acid. If you have  dry  skin, go for one with moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera or glycerin. In addition to being travel-friendly, these tips will help you find the best toner for your skin type and needs.

Face Moisturizer with SPF

When you're on the go, it's important to have a skincare routine that's easy to take with you. That's why we've put together a list of the best travel size and kits for your skincare routine. If you're looking for a face moisturizer with SPF, we recommend the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. This moisturizer is light and non-greasy, and it provides all-day hydration. It's also formulated with SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun. If you're looking for a kit that includes everything you need for your skincare routine, we recommend the Kiehl's Since 1851 Travel Set.

This set includes a face wash, moisturizer, eye cream, and lip balm, and it comes in a TSA-approved travel size. If you're looking for a travel size kit that targets specific concerns, we recommend the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm Kit. This kit includes a cleansing balm that removes all traces of makeup, an exfoliating cloth, and a travel-sized makeup remover wipe. It's perfect for taking on trips or for using when you're short on time.

Lip balm is a staple in any skincare routine, but it can be tough to know which one to choose. With so many options on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Here are some of our favorite lip balms for keeping your lips soft and hydrated. If you're looking for something that will hydrate your  lips  and give them a bit of color, we recommend trying out the Burt's Bees Lip Balm in Hibiscus.

This lip balm contains moisturizing ingredients like beeswax and almond oil, as well as natural pigments that give your lips a pretty pink tint. If you're looking for a lip balm that will provide long-lasting hydration, we recommend the EOS Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean. This lip balm is made with shea butter and vitamin E, which help to keep your lips feeling soft and silky all day long. Plus, the vanilla bean scent is heavenly.

As we age, our skin undergoes various changes. One such change is the gradual loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin around our eyes. This often leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The good news is that there are various eye creams on the market that can help reduce these signs of aging.

When choosing an eye cream, it is important to consider your individual needs. Some eye creams are designed to hydrate and nourish the skin, while others are formulated to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. It is also important to choose an eye cream that is compatible with your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, for example, you will want to choose a gentle, fragrance-free formula.

Travel Size Shampoo and Conditioner

When it comes to traveling, the less you have to worry about packing the better. That's why having travel-size shampoo and conditioner is so essential. But what are the best ones to bring with you on your trip? There are a few things to consider when choosing the best travel-size shampoo and conditioner for your skincare routine. First, think about the climate you'll be traveling to. If you're going somewhere with a hot, humid climate, you'll want shampoo and conditioner that are lightweight and won't take up too much space in your luggage.

Second, consider your hair type. If you have curly hair, you'll want shampoo and conditioner that are specifically designed for curly hair. And if you have color-treated hair, make sure to bring shampoo and conditioner that are designed for color-treated hair. Finally, don't forget to bring a travel-size container of your favorite moisturizer or facial cleanser. This will help keep your skin looking its best while you're on vacation.

No matter where you're traveling, it's important to have a skincare routine that will keep your skin looking and feeling its best. In this article, we've outlined some of the best travel-sized kits for your skincare routine. Whether you're flying across the country or jetting off to an exotic locale, these products will help keep your skin healthy and hydrated. So don't leave home without them!

At Skin Elite, we know that a good  skincare  routine is essential when you're on the go. That's why we've put together a selection of the best travel-sized kits for your skin care needs. Whether you're looking for a kit that will help keep your skin hydrated or one that will target specific concerns, we've got you covered.

The 25 Best Travel-Size Beauty Products on Amazon to Pack for Your Next Getaway

TSA-friendly favorites that fit nicely in your carry-on

It may seem easy enough to throw your most-used items into a toiletry bag and call it a day, but TSA requires anyone traveling by plane to ensure liquids, gels, and aerosols are no more than 3.4 ounces each in your carry-on. (That list encompasses cleansers, facial mists, shampoos, foundations, and more.) And in addition to pint-size liquids, packing a bevy of mini beauty tools for your on-the-go routine makes it easy to stay glam while you’re away from home.

Just wanted to say how much I love Epionce. I have never felt good about my skin, and have never tried products that actually did what they promised. It’s always been a struggle dealing with congested, clogged pores... When a dermatologist suggested products from Epionce, it totally changed the game. I love the Lytic Gel Cleanser, the Lytic TX, and the Renewal Lite Facial Lotion. These products have changed my oily, congested skin into a glowy, clear complexion. I have stopped skin picking altogether because my skin is so clear there’s nothing to pick! Thank you for exceptional, life-changing products. I’m so happy I found Epionce.

The eye serum is non-greasy and easy to absorb. It makes the eye area hydrated, brighter and looking regenerated. Highly recommended.

I love the feel of the serum. It goes on so smooth and is not greasy. The skin around my eyes looks beautiful . . . you can barely notice my crow’s feet anymore . . . this is the first eye serum that I've used that has worked for me.

I’m 25 and for as long as I can remember, I would always think to myself, “if I could change one thing about myself it would be my skin." This time last year I committed to spending all of my Christmas money on a few fancy facials and investing in a new skin care regimen. I spent months throwing money away buying trial sizes of products that were not doing the trick. My esthetician recommended Epionce products and I bought the cleanser, toner and moisturizer to start. Within one week my skin was noticeably better. A year later, my skin is better than I could have ever imagined and I actually get compliments daily. I am continuously recommending Epionce to my friends and I could not be more thankful for these products and the confidence they have given me!

Epionce has changed the texture and appearance of my skin! I have been using it day and night for 4 months. My dark spots have dramatically faded and the overall brightness of my skin has improved so much that even other people have noticed. I haven’t been this happy with my skin in years!!

I love all the Epionce products. They are extremely hydrating and moisturizing. My favorite is Medical Barrier Cream. It’s my go-to moisturizer.

I'm 32 and have struggled with blemishes since I was a young teenager. I've tried everything, literally everything. Nothing has made any difference. As I've gotten older my skin has continued to get worse and worse. Epionce was recommended to me by my medical esthetician and within just a couple days I noticed my skin looking better. I've been using it for over 6 months now and my skin has completely changed. I haven't had a single significant blemish in months. I could not recommend this product more. I had all but given up, now I tell everyone I know that this is an absolute game changer.

Katheryn T.

I absolutely love the transformation that has occurred after I have used your product. Everyone comments on how my skin has a beautiful glow to it now! I'm so excited to see my skin look so amazing! It has taken years off of my skin. I use the Lytic Gel Cleanser, Lytic Sport Tx, Renewal Facial Lotion and Ultra Shield SPF 50. Thank you so much for making such a wonderful product.

I’ve suffered from breakouts for about 6 years now...and Epionce has SAVED my skin. I’ve seen countless dermatologists and aestheticians, taking blood tests, and using every treatment known to anyone. Until finally I came across Epionce products and I haven’t looked back since! I incorporated the Lytic Gel Cleanser and Lytic Tx and I don’t need anything else for clear skin. Thank you so much!!!

I love all the products I have tried so far, but my all-time favorites are the Lytic Gel Cleanser and the Lytic Plus Tx. They cleared up my deep breakouts and continues to keep them away. If I do get the rare breakout, it is short-lived with the use of these two products!! Well done, Epionce!!

I just wanted to say that I really love your products! I have oily skin. I have been using your products for the last six months and it helped unclogged my pores, improved the texture, and lighten scars. My favorite products are the Renewal Lite Facial Lotion and the Lytic Sport Tx. I may try many different products, but...I always come back to Epionce.

Veronica M.

Lytic is life! I've brought so many of my [breakout] clients back to normal and no irritation. I also swear by it for my redness.

Sara J. - L.E.

I am forever amazed at the outstanding results I continue to see in my clients. The Lytic Tx and Renewals - "The Dynamic Duo" - have worked wonders in my clients. I'm so pleased to be partnered with this outstanding company. Dr. Thornfeldt is a genius and has pioneered a skincare company driven by results that achieve healthy skin!

Stephanie B. - Des Moines, IA

Enriched Body Cream - works wonders for my legs - absolutely love it!

Melanie B. - Naperville, IL

I love your products. They help me feel beautiful and confident going out of the house with little to no makeup on at all. My skin has never felt this amazing and been this clear. I have been using your products since this past winter. Since then, it has become a part of my daily routine. My skin is radiant and soft. The products smell amazing. My favorite is the Renewal Lite Facial Lotion. I feel confident and happy knowing my skin is protected with your products. I will always use and recommend.

I moved from Seattle to northern Colorado earlier this year, and the change in climate was a shock to my skin. My face has always been relatively clear and normal - no issues with dry or oily. After a few months of living in Colorado I started noticing some dry skin on my face. It wasn’t too bad at first, but it developed into angry, flaky, red bumps all over my face like a rash, which were not only ugly but also very painful. I tried everything I could think of to reduce the itching and redness...nothing worked. An esthetician at a spa I went to suggested Epionce...I purchased the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, the Balancing Toner, and the Enriched Body Cream. I’ve been using them for about a week and my skin is finally happy. The bumps are no longer red, the itchiness is almost gone, and the size of the affected area has decreased significantly. I can’t believe something finally worked. I no longer get upset when I look in the mirror, and I can’t wait to see what my skin is going to look like in a month. Thank you for designing something that works in this dry climate. I was honestly considering moving again because my skin was causing me so much pain and anxiety.

Madeline E. - Colorado

The Epionce line of skincare products has been a Godsend for me. The Milky Lotion Cleanser is wonderful. The Enriched Body Cream has restored my skin to a condition that is as soft as my 1-year-old grandson.

Thank you for having skincare and peel products that help us affect change for women, helping them achieve their skin care goals, and to wake up feeling beautiful in the morning. Epionce is one of the reasons we have been able to embrace success!

Tamara Q. - Washington

[Since starting Epionce] I have seen a huge difference in my skin, smoothness, lines...just hydrated! I have my son using Lytic Tx and he too has seen the difference. I recommend Epionce to all our patients and family/friends. The Absolute Best!

Rose D. - Encino, CA

LOVE [Daily Shield Tinted SPF 50] - it feels so luxurious and really feels like it covers and I see a difference in my skin!

Claudia G. - North Carolina

The Lytic Gel Cleanser is a game changer. I love that you can use it all over!

Hanna - Southlake, Texas

Epionce has not only dramatically improved the patient's skin I work with but has improved their overall confidence. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of and work with this line. Epionce is amazing!

Becky T. - Florida

I wanted to thank you SO MUCH for the Renewal Calming Cream. It is the first product ever that has not burned my face when I apply it - even right when I get out of the shower! It's so moisturizing and feels great on my skin, and I just needed you to know I'll be using this product for the rest of my life and I love it!

Alexis Q. - Colorado

I LOVE Epionce products! I have used [other brands] and I always, always come back to Epionce. The reason for trying others has to do with facials at medical spas and getting talked into trying something. Well, I know my skin and Epionce outperforms all of the others!

My husband used this once and told me to buy three more...this isn't the usual [blemish-clearing] spot cream. Definitely very effective and a little goes a long way!

Angela C. - California

The [Purifying] Spot Gel helped with big blemishes. I saw them shrink overnight.

Nikki T. - New York

...thank you for creating something so amazing that I have started to love my skin again and the way that I look...not only because [Epionce is] helping my skin, but it actually feels good... thank you for being so impactful in my life.

I have a very stubborn/persistent dry skin patch on my leg that I have seen two dermatologists, tried every lotion...and [Epionce Renewal Calming Cream] is the first cream that has truly made a difference. . . this is a hero product.

I have struggled with blemishes my whole life. It has been most frustrating now that I’m an adult as my skin is sensitive and products tend to be too harsh...using Purifying Spot Gel has changed the way I handle breakouts.

Megan P. - Boise, ID

I was given this spot treatment regimen when blemishes popped up on my chest during CrossFit. I was shocked after just one day of using it [they] started to disappear and I haven’t had an issue since!

Caroline C. - Chicago, IL

I found Epionce...and my life was changed. My skin went from feeling hard and quite frankly stressed from breakouts between the harsh chemical components and the humidity here, to soft, stunning and thriving! My skin feels alive and well, [and] I would never again put all those harsh chemicals on my skin, especially knowing now how healthy my skin is thanks to Epionce! I wish I could sell this product to every beautiful face I see! Everyone needs these products in their life for skin success!

Caroline F. - Wisconsin

Lite Lytic Tx has prevented post pregnancy [breakouts] and kept my skin bright during these hormonal changes.

Kimberly P. - Hoffman Estates, IL

I was tired of trying to find over the counter cleansers and facial lotions that wouldn't make my face break out with acne. Everything I tried, even other expensive clinical products that claimed they wouldn't make my skin break out, they did...All I can say is [Epionce is] worth every cent and I will never go back to anything else. I only use the Gentle Foaming Cleanser and Renewal Facial Lotion on a regular basis and the tinted sunscreen when needed. My face finally does not break out and does not get oily from the lotion. I'm so happy with the results of these products!!

I have been a fan of Epionce products from Day 1. I [have used] the Intense Defense Serum + Lytic Tx + Renewal for my skin type [for the] last 3 years and I look 20 years younger than my age. That's the secret of my youthfulness that I share with people. Epionce really works!

Angela U. - Hillsboro, Oregon

I never knew my skin needed help until I began using Epionce. It took a turn for the better when I didn't even know I needed it! Thank you!

Sarah G. - Kalispell, Montana

Hands down the best products I've ever used. I tell all my friends & family about Epionce.

Amanda - St. Paul, Oregon

I have struggled with my skin since my teenage years. After going on Accutane twice in undergrad, in my late 20s my skin was relatively breakout free, but rough, uneven and dull. Since high school, I’ve always used moderately priced “quality” skincare products so I wasn’t sure why now, in my late 20s, my skin now seemed so flawed. I [was] recommended the Intense Defense Serum and Lytic Tx. I walked out with both and it has transformed my skin in just weeks. I’m radiant with minimal makeup, and my face feels so soft and smooth.

Kristen N. - Nashville, TN

I firmly believe Epionce is meant for all skin types. I have used this product for over a year now. I have never been this satisfied about a product before.

Kristen W. - Spring Hill, TN

Before I tried Epionce, I was very dissatisfied with my skin. Epionce has changed the game! I will never use anything else.

Brooklyn S. - Athens, AL

I love Epionce. It works! It fits my lifestyle. It is safe and effective!

Eleanor G. - San Jose, CA

I own my own medical aesthetics practice. I constantly get compliments on my skin, and yes it's gorgeous thanks to Epionce. It's the ONLY skin care line I carry!

Brenda V. - San Jose, CA

I have used Epionce for 4 years now. It's changed the texture of my skin.

Rhonda V. - Florida

I have used the products since starting [my] business almost 9 years. I have tried others from other lines, but have always returned to Epionce because I feel results are the best...I look younger now than 9 years ago.

Joanna B. - Florida

I am so pleased to have a skin care company that provides the research to backup the integrity and science behind this amazing product line...It is a pleasure to work with Epionce.

Heather G. - Florida

I've been using your [Renewal Facial Lotion] for about 8 months now and it's the best!! I have a sensitive skin and it's the one lotion that I've used that does not dull my skin or give me a fine mist of rash. Thank you for a great product.

I have problem skin. With my current regimen of Milky Lotion Cleanser and Intensive Nourishing Cream, my skin feels better than it has since puberty.

Monica - Tulsa, OK

I have been using the [Epionce] line for over two years now and will not carry any other line in my spa! I love the science behind it!

Julli R. - Dallas, TX

I have oily/sensitive skin and the Renewal Lite [Facial Lotion] and Lytic Gel Cleanser alone have changed my face.

Ashley J. - Dallas, TX

I absolutely love this [Renewal] Calming Cream! I suffer from [dry skin] and compared to other products I have used, this cream delivers the perfect amount of hydration for my sensitive skin. I was very surprised and happy to see how quickly my skin has improved after using this cream in such a short amount of time. The formulation is so gentle I have also used it on my face. I feel the cream has worked wonders on my skin by providing an amazing protective barrier against hydration loss which has helped minimize flareups. My skin always feels great! This has become a go to product for myself and my children.

I have used several Epionce products over the years . . . the Renewal Calming Cream is one of my favorite Epionce products. This product is very rich and creamy . . . and it feels so good on the skin. It doesn’t leave a greasy feeling and I am able to wear it under my makeup. I have very sensitive skin and this product soothes my skin and helps with the sensitivity. I actually look forward to applying it every day.

I have very dry skin. I could not believe how great my skin felt and looked after using Epionce Enriched Body Cream for a short time! I LOVE this product!

Patty - Minneapolis, MN

The Epionce Renewal[s] have changed my skin as well as my clients. I can't keep them on the shelf.

Neira C. - Boston, MA

I'm so glad Epionce came out with this tinted mineral sunscreen [Daily Shield Lotion Tinted SPF 50], it acts like a primer before powder or liquid make-up. The coverage is great and it only takes about a size of a pea to do the job. I live in the SW and use it everyday for protection from the sun and my skin looks great. Thank you Epionce for another great product.

My skin has been forever changed and I have never been more satisfied with my skin care regimen. I am so happy to have been introduced to this amazing line!

Lucy B. - Los Angeles, CA

My skin continues to look younger, brighter and more dewy. The science behind the Epionce products is unsurpassed. I will never use any other product line.

Caitlin C. - Denver, CO

Not only has Epionce revolutionized our clinic and options for our patients, it has revolutionized by own personal skin appearance. This company has my utmost respect for their dedication to clinical studies and using only the best ingredients.

Helen T. - CA

I love that the products are user-friendly and made with ingredients I can explain to clients.

Ermy B. - TX

I love this line of skin care products, and have been using the line for over a year now. It's really great for sensitive skin and all types-dry to oily.

This is one of the best eye creams I have ever used. Just excellent.

I have very sensitive skin around my eyes. Most eye creams cause my eyes and the skin around my eyes to burn and become irritated. I received a sample of this product and have been very impressed. Usually anti-aging products dry the skin out in order to tighten it. This product however, somehow moisturizes and tightens the skin like no other product I've used. I am a makeup artist and cosmetologist. I have worked in cosmetics at department stores and have used literally hundreds of products on my skin and this eye cream is the best one I've ever used.

This face cream is not just like any other face cream. I have bought many other face creams that promise results of younger-looking skin if used as indicated. This is the first face cream that I have tried that actually delivers the promises that it makes. I'm a middle aged woman that has noticed a noticeable difference in my face wrinkles. My face is not only smoother, but the lines and wrinkles have really diminished after using this cream. Try it, and you too will see what I am talking about.

[The Intensive Nourishing Cream is] perfect for my hydration-starved skin in Colorado. Love the way it feels, smells, works...perfect for nighttime use. I highly recommend.

Asa W. - Colorado

Epionce Renewal Facial Cream is wonderful. It has been recommended by my dermatologist. It is remarkable. One has to try it to get the full value of what it does for your skin.

I love [Enriched Firming Mask]! I'm a mask addict, I will admit...and this one is really good! Not too harsh - I could probably use it daily - I love how it makes my skin feel. I'm 56 and have somewhat sensitive skin, prone to redness, and my skin gets dehydrated easily if I'm not careful. Epionce products keep my skin looking healthy.

[The Lytic Tx provided] immediate relief from inflamed, irritated skin. I struggled for days with redness on my face, my pores looked large, skin was tired, looked unhealthy. I got a sample at a plastic surgeon`s office and it calmed everything down like 70 percent the very first time I used it! Nothing ever worked that quickly and that well. Within 2 days my skin was beautiful, healthy, pores were hugely improved, it really worked amazingly!

EB - Seattle, WA

I started buying [Lite Lytic Tx] through my dermatologist for my redness...Love every thing about it; keeps my completion nice & even. I have tried to replace it with other cheaper lotions & such, always end up giving them away and using this one.

[Lytic Gel Cleanser] does the job of removing dirt, make-up, and impurities very very well. Feels amazing on the skin and does not dry out after wash. Highly recommend it!!!!

Epionce Renewal Facial Lotion is amazing! It just takes a tiny bit- a wee dollop the size of a pea to cover facial skin and throat. It so absorbs quickly that I can apply powder base right away. My skin is combination, oily, flaky, etc., but is balanced by using this product. Well worth the price since one 1.7 oz bottle lasts me 3-4 months. I am so grateful I discovered Epionce!

Epionce User

The Epionce Enriched Body Cream is incredible. It’s the only cream I’ve ever used that actually changed my hands (rather than just temporarily relieving dryness). I want to evangelize for you and the company. Incredible stuff!

Leslie - Washington State

I switched to Epionce from [another product line] and I love it! I have yet to find a product that I can truly say this about. Within 2 days the texture of my skin changed. It feels smooth, not like chicken skin anymore. My make-up goes on evenly and I feel like I use less makeup. When I look at my face in the mirror I can see my skin looks healthier. I can feel it working!

Casey - Washington State

I had a young man come in for a skin consultation. He had been on a topical steroid for very dry skin. His dermatologist took him off the steroid, and he was in a panic because he didn’t think there was anything else he could do. I gave him Epionce samples. He came in the next day and purchased all the products I had given him because it had totally worked!

A Medical Office - California

I have had dark spots for several years, and now that I'm in my early 40s it seems as though it's worsening. I have tried several products, including medical-strength ones. I can honestly say that Epionce is the only brand that has addressed my issues. My skin is brighter, more even, and smoother. I continue to tell people of my success with Epionce. I especially love the fact that the brand is cruelty-free, and paraben-free. I am thrilled to have found Epionce!

After just a few weeks of using Epionce, I could see a difference. I have never been a believer in creams and potions but Epionce is really amazing!

Rebecca S. - Washington State

I've been using Intensive Nourishing Cream for years! It keeps my face hydrated and I love the compliments that people give me regarding my skin.

Colleen H. - Washington State

I confidently recommend Epionce because of the science supporting the technology and the consistent positive feedback I get from my clientele.  I appreciate that it is botanically based, super effective and does not contain parabens, fragrances, or sulfates. It smells and feels wonderful to use and is cost effective. It’s one of the best all-around skin care lines, if not the best.

Victoria H. - Austin, TX

I have normal skin type and it can be dry in the colder months. When I wake up in the morning the redness has completely gone down. My skin looks brighter and feels more hydrated. I do not want to take this off EVER!

Emily J. - Lincolnshire, IL

I am thrilled I came across Epionce! I have depended on medications for years. With Epionce I have been able to completely eliminate [other products] and I am beyond thrilled with my skin. Not only has it cleared, but the texture and radiance have also improved.

Kasey J. - St. Louis, MO

I really love the Lite Lytic! It smooths out my skin and lightens brown spots.

Cindy - Laguna Hills, CA

I love Lytic and Intense Defense Serum! After using it for a couple of months, my skin looked years younger. I had a client ask me if I had a face lift.  

Linda W. - Kennett Square, PA

There is a Lytic product appropriate for every skin type and skin issue. It exfoliates, deep cleans the pores, helps with blemishes and brightens the skin with no drama!  We can sell with confidence to every client that walks in the door. Everyone needs a little Lytic in their life!

Megan C. - Winnetka, IL

I have been studying and using Epionce for about 8 months now and have seen nothing but good results. The products have given my skin a smoother and more even texture. I have used them in the treatment rooms and seen amazing results in...the overall health of the skin in my clients. Epionce is my favorite skin care line and I believe in it 100%. 

Katy A. - St. Louis, MO

It's total nutrition for your skin. I love the fact that it has vitamins A, B, C, D & E. I use it every morning under my Intensive Nourishing Cream. I notice a big difference in my skin texture and luminosity when I run out and don't use it. It's pretty incredible. You too will become a faithful follower!

Debbie B. - Oak Park, CA

The Medical Barrier Cream is also a favorite of mine. I use this with all dermaplaning and peel services. It is also useful for bites, burns and skin irritations. 

Tonja S. - Norman, OK

I have tried so many skin care lines and Epionce is the only one that made an incredible difference in my skin.

Bridget - Allentown, PA

My skin has improved 100% since using Epionce!

Donna F. - Medford, NJ

I am using the LyticTx and Intensive Nourishing Cream every single day and am really loving them! I’m noticing a difference in the texture and clarity of my skin. What I especially love is that I do not have any irritation or negative reaction at all! A nice change compared to retinol!

Julie L. - Chandler, AZ

Enriched Firming Mask was more effective than any exfoliants I've ever used! My skin is smooth and the itty bitty red spots that were beginning to form all over my face is almost nonexistent. My face is super smooth.

Kaylee S. - Boise, ID

My skin is often bumpy and clogged and now has some sun-damaged spots. Since I have been using the Epionce products, I can see and feel a real difference!

Carolyn S. - Newberg, OR

I went from having beautiful skin to hormonal skin due to menopause. I was experiencing irritation, sensitivity, scaling, breakouts and minor pigmentation. My skin is back to being complementary and I am a believer!

The [Essential Recovery] Kit with the Priming Oil has been a “skin savior” after an ablative treatment such as the CO2 or Pixel! Even my most sensitive patients can use the Epionce products without any irritation, less breakouts and fewer bumps develop after treatment. We literally see a full day to two days faster recovery time. Plus, our patients love the way it soothes the skin!

Hope C. - Grand Junction, CO

The Lytic Gel Cleanser is like liquid gold, I can’t imagine my life without it.

Stacie S. - Lemoyne, PA

I began using the Renewal Eye Cream to help with dark circles and puffiness. My face looks amazing! My dad said something to me about how nice my face looks, and so did my sister. I was so impressed with it for our anniversary my husband bought me the Lite Lytic Tx, Renewal Facial Cream, and Enriched Firming Mask.

Rachael - York, PA

My favorite Epionce product is Renewal Lite Facial Lotion, and I use it daily after my morning and evening showers. I love the feel of it on my face and how it absorbs and doesn't leave my face feeling greasy. It keeps my face moisturized all day!

Scott R. - Portland, OR

Premium Starter Kit

The concentrate, gel hand soap, oxygen boost, dishwasher tablets, laundry kit, how to use branch basics foaming wash: complete guide.

By Branch Basics | 06/24/2024

Customers are often surprised that our all-in-one safe cleaning Concentrate can be used to make Foaming Wash, which is a hand, face, and body wash.

However, this is entirely possible when you create a human-safe formula designed for the most sensitive skin.

Plus, Foaming Wash is incredible for hand washing, facial cleansing, pet washing, cleaning jewelry, for babies, and more.

What other cleaning product can say that?

Read on to learn all about Branch Basics Foaming wash and 13+ ways to use it around your home.

What Is   Branch Basics Foaming Wash?

Branch Basics Foaming Wash is made using  Branch Basics Concentrate, a multi-purpose, human-safe, EWG-Verified, Made Safe cleaning Concentrate designed to replace every cleaner (and more) in your home.

To make Foaming Wash, combine 1 part Branch Basics Concentrate to 4 parts water in the refillable glass or plastic Foaming Wash bottle.

Shake, and you’re ready to use.

Branch Basics’ Starter Kits contain everything you need to toss the toxins by replacing synthetic chemical cleaners, laundry products, and soap with safe alternatives. 

Our Premium Starter Kit, for example, contains Branch Basics Concentrate and Oxygen Boost (laundry booster, bleach alternative, and soaking agent) plus five glass or plastic bottles to make your own Streak-Free, All-Purpose, Bathroom, Foaming Wash, and Laundry cleaning products.

Just add water + the designated amount of Concentrate to the fill line, shake, and you’re ready to clean.

For more information on how Branch Basics safe cleaning system works, plus a video demo, see: How To Get Started With Your Branch Basics Kit.

13 Ways To Use Branch Basics Foaming Wash for Personal Care and Cleaning

Branch Basics Foaming Wash is a super-convenient way to ensure you have human-safe hand soap, body wash, and more at your fingertips.

Here are twelve-plus ways to use it.

1. Hand Washing

Foaming Wash is most frequently used as an ultra-gentle and natural hand soap. Keep a bottle at your kitchen sink, in your bathrooms, in the car, or anywhere frequent hand-washing is necessary.

• Pump foam and rub hands together for 20 seconds. 
• Rinse clean.
• Refill as needed.

Our Travel Size Foaming Wash is a perfect safe way to remove germs on your hands when you’re out and about, traveling, or on the road.

2. Body Wash or Baby Wash

Foaming Wash’s ultra-gentle, non-allergenic, naturally derived surfactants, Coco Glucoside and Decyl Glucoside , plus organic Chamomile Flower Extract, make it a perfect natural cleanser for face, body, or even baby.

In fact, Decyl and Coco Glucoside are so gentle they are often used in healthy baby products.

• Use the Foaming Wash in the shower or bath as you would a body wash or soap.
•   To use on baby, add 1 or 2 pumps to a washcloth and gently wash and rinse.

Learn more about our ingredients in:

Note: Foaming Wash is not a tear-free formula, so take care around eyes.

3. Eye Makeup Remover

Imagine you’re traveling and forgot your makeup remover, or you’re at home and just ran out of your favorite brand… Foaming Wash to the rescue!

Its ultra-gentle formula makes quick work of eye makeup without causing skin irritation.

• Rub directly on closed eyes. 
• Wipe makeup off with soft cloth or reusable cotton rounds.

Note: This is not a tear-free formula, so be sure to keep your eyes closed.

4. Facial Cleansing

As you’ve just learned, Foaming Wash’s star ingredients make it an excellent, super-gentle, and healthy cleanser for even the most sensitive skin.

Chamomile Flower Extract is particularly nourishing for the face, is non-drying, and helps calm and soothe irritation.

• Wet your face.
• Gently rub in Foaming Wash for about a minute (you can also remove your eye makeup at this time).

Get more tips on clean skincare in: Our Favorite Non-Toxic Personal Care Products.

5. Hair Wash

As if body and facial cleansing weren’t enough, Foaming Wash also works as an ultra-gentle shampoo for all hair types—including babies, toddlers, and children (just remember, this is not a tear-free formula, so take care with little eyes).

We use it all the time, especially when traveling, but it can take a little experimentation.

A little more or less Concentrate to water ratio may be better for your hair depending on thickness and type.  

Start with the recommended dilution and tweak from there.

• Follow up with your favorite all-natural conditioner, if desired.
• Style as usual.

6. Makeup Brushes

With Foaming Wash poised at your bathroom sink, you’ll remember to wash your makeup brushes more often for an even cleaner clean beauty routine.

• Add a few pumps of Foaming Wash or All-Purpose spray to a sink or bowl of warm water.
• Soak your makeup brushes for 5-10 minutes.
• Rinse clean and air dry.
• If you’re in a hurry, rinse your brush with warm water, then add a quarter or half a pump directly to your brushes, agitate with your fingers, and rinse until the water runs clean.  

Related read: Our Non-Toxic Makeup Recommendations.

Conventional shaving creams typically contain a toxic soup of synthetic petroleum-derived surfactants, dyes, and heavy fragrance. Since the skin absorbs most of what it encounters, these are ingredients you want to avoid, especially if you shave frequently and have sensitive, irritated, or inflamed skin.

Instead, use Foaming Washing to create a rich, thick foam for shaving.

• Wet the area (face, legs, underarms, etc.).
• Apply a generous amount of Foaming Wash.
• Shave and rinse.

8. As a Pet Wash

Foaming Wash’s ingredients are gentle, non-irritating, and safe enough to be safe to use as a pet wash on dogs or cats.  

• Wet your pet and lather Foaming Wash.
•   Scrub and rinse.

For more tips on safe pet washing, see: How To Wash Your Pet With Branch Basics.

Branch Basics Foaming Wash is an excellent (and convenient) way to hand wash dishes.

• Either squirt directly onto the dishes and scrub, or add a few pumps into a sinkful of warm water, agitate to create foam, and hand wash dishes.
• You can also use All-Purpose or Bathroom dilution to wash dishes in the same way.
• To use undiluted Concentrate, add 1 teaspoon of Concentrate to a sink full of hot water to hand wash.

10. Jewelry

For sparkling jewelry that looks brand new, try Foaming Wash on your rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more.

• Soak jewelry in a bowl of water with a few squirts of Foaming Wash for 3-5 minutes or overnight. 
• Use a soft brush if necessary to clean away dirt, grime, and build-up.
• Rinse and dry. 

Not recommended for opals and pearls.

11. Paint Brushes

Those with artists at home will love using Foaming Wash for quick and efficient paint brush clean-up.

• Soak brushes for 5-10 minutes with a few pumps of foam.
• Rinse with warm water.

Related Read: The Branch Basics Smart Guide To Safe School Supplies.

12. Baby Bottles

Foaming Wash is a convenient, safe way to wash your baby bottles (and you may be surprised how many toxic chemicals are hiding in conventional dish soap ).

• Pump Foaming Wash directly into the bottle and scrub clean.
• Follow up with any recommended sanitizing measures.

13. Produce Wash

You can forget the expensive product washes! Just a pump of Branch Basics Foaming Wash (or All-Purpose) is all you need to remove more dirt, germs, and pesticide residue from your produce.

• Spray skin directly with All-Purpose or foam with Foaming Wash, lightly scrub, then rinse with cold water.

Foaming Wash Tips

Making and using Foaming Wash is easy, but following these tips can make it work even better:

Tip 1: A Little Goes A Long Way!

Foaming Wash is very economical because a little goes a long way! Just one pump on hands or face is all you need for a thorough clean.

Tip 2: Consider Using Distilled Or Filtered Water

As healthy home experts, we highly recommend using filtered or distilled water in your Foaming Wash.

This eliminates or minimizes exposure to common water additives and contaminants additives like chlorine, fluoride, minerals, and other chemicals that can irritate delicate skin.  

For more information on what’s hiding in tap water, see: How To Choose The Best Water Filter For Every Home And Budget.

Tip 3: Keep A Travel-Size Foaming Wash In Your Car, Purse, Backpack, etc. As A Hand Sanitizer Alternative

As previously mentioned, we love using travel-size Foaming Wash when traveling or on the go.

It’s also a great alternative to chemical-based hand sanitizer when you want to remove germs rather than kill them.  

Although Foaming Wash is not a sanitizer, it is highly effective at removing germs.  

Per the Centers for Disease Control , soap and water are the most effective way to clean your hands.

Learn more about the science and advantages of using soap and water vs. hand sanitizer in: Hand Soap Vs. Hand Sanitizer: 4 Steps To Healthy Hands.

Tip 4: Replace After 1 Year

If your Foaming Wash happens to last a whole year, we recommend replacing the formula with fresh water and Concentrate.

Foaming Wash FAQs

The idea of using a cleaning concentrate for personal care, babies, pets, etc., can raise a lot of questions! Here, we answer your Foaming Wash FAQs.

Q: What is in Branch Basics Concentrate used to make Foaming Wash?

A: Branch Basics Concentrate is an EWG-verified, Made Safe certified, biodegradable product made from a combination of natural ingredients and naturally derived surfactants, including:  

• Purified Water: Reverse Osmosis
• Decyl Glucoside : An ultra-gentle naturally-derived surfactant cleanser from coconut and/or Non-GMO corn. 
• Chamomile Flower Extract : An organic flower extract with Allergen (IFRA) Certifications, which certifies it is nonallergenic and is not a fragrance. 
• Coco Glucoside : An ultra-gentle naturally-derived surfactant derived from coconut. We use this with Decyl Glucoside to enhance cleaning and foaming power and stability.

• Sodium Bicarbonate : A mineral-based water softener, also known as baking soda.
• Sodium Phytate : A natural chelator used as an antioxidant preservative.

Learn more in: Is Branch Basics Safe? Your Questions, Answered.

Q: Is Foaming Wash a tear-free formula?

A: No. Although they are safe for very sensitive, delicate, and allergic skin, Foaming Wash, and all Branch Basics products, are not tear-free.  

Safe and tear-free products have their place (especially for bathing-reluctant babies, toddlers, or kiddos). However, their pH can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier and thus, may be irritating for certain skin types.

Q: Why is Foaming Wash considered safe for babies and those with very sensitive skin?

A: All the ingredients in Branch Basics Concentrate (used to make Foaming Wash, All-Purpose, Bathroom, and Laundry) were selected with the most sensitive individuals in mind.

This is why we chose the most gentle naturally-derived surfactants we could find, Coco Glucoside and Decyl Glucoside, which are commonly used in baby products.  

Organic Chamomile Flower Extract adds an extra layer of soothing, nourishing, and healing properties to this already gentle formula.

Learn more in: The Journey To Our New Formula.

Q: Does Foaming Wash have a scent?

A: Foaming Wash is naturally fragrance-free. Its scent is best described as a mild soap scent with a hint of chamomile.

Related read: What Does Branch Basics Smell Like? 5 Fragrance-Free Benefits.

Q: Can I add essential oils to Foaming Wash?

A: If you know your skin and body are not sensitive to particular essential oils, try using 1-5 drops of your favorite 100% pure, organic/wildcrafted essential oils to Foaming Wash and see how it goes.

Q: What’s the difference between Foaming Wash and Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap?

A: Both Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap and Foaming Wash are ultra-gentle and effective for hand washing, eye makeup removal, facial cleaning, and body wash, and made using only safe and natural ingredients.

Some people prefer a gel-based hand soap, like Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap , while others like the foaming action of the original.

For more information on the ingredients in Branch Basics Gel Hand Soap, see: Breaking Down Our Healthy Gel Hand Soap Ingredients.

Note: We always recommend using a variety of products on the skin, including bar soaps, to avoid getting sensitive to repeated use. 

Q: Can I use my own bottles to make Foaming Wash?

A: Branch Basics Premium Starter Kits come with a refillable Foaming Wash bottle. 

However, you can also use your own bottles to make enough for your entire home. 

Just be sure to use a foam-style pump and follow the recommended ratio of 1 part Branch Basics Concentrate to 4 parts water.

You can also order more Branch Basics Foaming Wash bottles (in reusable glass or plastic) here. We even give a price break on packs of 3.

Election latest: Farage responds after Reform campaigner filmed making 'very prejudiced' comments

Nigel Farage has responded to footage from a Channel 4 report showing Reform campaigners using racist and homophobic language in Clacton - the constituency where the former UKIP leader hopes to be elected.

The next government is being urged to tackle an "appalling" rough sleeping crisis as new figures show a record high in London. 

A total of 11,993 people were seen rough sleeping in the capital in the year to March, according to the latest Combined Homelessness and Information Network (Chain) statistics.

That is the highest figure ever recorded on the database, and marks a 58% increase compared to ten years ago.

The "appalling" increase reflects a "crisis, both in the capital and across the country", said Rick Henderson, chief executive of Homeless Link, the membership body for frontline homelessness services in England, which manages the Chain database.

He said the next government "must create a cross-government plan to prevent rough sleeping and homelessness through delivering genuinely affordable and secure homes quickly, whilst making sure there are a diverse range of properly-funded homelessness services to help people address the root causes of their destitution and move on from rough sleeping for good".

The St Mungo's homeless charity said the next government must "treat homelessness as an emergency and prioritise it in their first 100 days".

According to the latest available figures for England, published in February, the estimated number of people sleeping rough on a single night in autumn in 2023 was 3,898 - more than twice that of the figure in 2010.

Racist and homophobic remarks filmed as part of a Channel 4 investigation   during the Reform UK campaign were "inappropriate," chairman of the party Richard Tice has said. 

Speaking at a Reform UK event in Boston with party leader Nigel Farage, Mr Tice said: "We put a statement out and it's all self-explanatory in the statement.

"The reality is that we're a fast-growing movement, and when you've got unpaid volunteers, some people behave inappropriately. And they're gone."

In footage recorded by a Channel 4 undercover reporter, a Reform UK campaigner has been filmed saying migrants crossing the Channel should be used as "target practice".  He also used a racist slur against Rishi Sunak (see previous post).

Another Reform figure was filmed making homophobic remarks.

Mr Farage has described remarks in the footage as "very wrong".

A Reform UK campaigner has been filmed saying migrants crossing the Channel should be used as "target practice". 

In footage recorded by a Channel 4 undercover reporter , the same campaigner used a racial slur against Rishi Sunak. 

The clips were recorded in Clacton, where Reform leader Nigel Farage is a candidate. 

Responding to the footage, Mr Farage has said the comments were "very wrong".

"There was an activist that said some pretty unpleasant things," he said.

"Very very prejudiced, very wrong.

"He's somebody who turned up to help ... all political parties encourage volunteers."

He added that the campaigner in question would "not be welcome back" and that the two other figures featured in the footage would also no longer be working with the campaign. 

In the footage, the undercover reporter captured canvasser Andrew Parker talking about people coming ashore at Deal in Kent.

Mr Parker said: "Army recruitment - get the young recruits there, with guns, on the f****** beach, target practice. F****** just shoot them."

Mr Parker said in a statement, sent to Channel 4 News: "I would like to make it clear that neither Nigel Farage personally or the Reform Party are aware of my personal views on immigration."

He added: "I have never discussed immigration with either Nigel Farage or the Reform Party and that any comments made by me during those recordings are my own personal views on any subject I commented on. At no time before I was sent out to canvass did I discuss my personal views with any representative of the Reform Party UK or Nigel Farage."

Another Reform figure was filmed reacting to a Pride symbol on a passing police car.  

He says: "You see that f****** degenerate flag on the front bonnet? What are the old bill doing promoting that crap? They should be out catching nonces not promoting the f******."

The other candidates for the Clacton constituency are:

• Jovan Owusu-Nepaul, Labour;
• Matthew Bensilum, Lib Dems;
• Craig Jamieson, Climate Party;
• Tony Mack, independent;
• Natasha Osben, Greens;
• Tasos Papanastasiou, Heritage Party;
• Andrew Pemberton, UKIP;
• Giles Watling, Conservatives.

The panel discussion is now turning to the Conservative Party's election campaign. 

Sky's  election commentator  Adam Boulton   says it has been "dreadful", adding Rishi Sunak "hasn't brought anything to this campaign". 

A series of missteps have dominated the headlines from the outset when Mr Sunak announced the election in the pouring rain.

But as the campaign enters its final week there may now be a moment of respite for the Conservatives, Adam says. 

"Almost the best thing about this campaign is the most irritating for a lot of people," Adam says.

"He's timed it to coincide with the Euros, with Wimbledon, with Glastonbury, which actually means the last week, it'll have to be a pretty big gaffe for anyone to notice."

That brings tonight's Politics Hub With Sophy Ridge to an end - the show will return tomorrow with Ali Fortescue . In the meantime, stick with us here for more news and analysis through the evening.

The battle for Scottish votes is all to play for.

An exclusive YouGov poll for Sky News has Labour on 35% in Scotland and the SNP on 29%.

The latter are closing the gap, but if all goes this way on the night, such a result would mean big gains for Labour.

But the biggest gutter punch is dealt to the Conservatives who YouGov has on 11% and level with the Lib Dems.

But attitudes change when voters consider where to cast their ballot in the 2026 Holyrood elections.

As of the 18 June, voter intentions shifted to 28% for the SNP, 24% Labour, 10% Conservatives and 7% for the Lib Dems.

This tells us Scots treat UK and Scottish elections differently. 

It also suggests the former creating an opportunity for a protest vote - a cry of frustration at 14 years of Tory governments at Westminster, or the firing of a warning shot at the SNP’s record after 17 years at Holyrood.

But so many are still undecided.

1,059 people over 16 were surveyed by YouGov between the 20 and 25 June, exclusively for Sky News, and 14% of people surveyed have changed how they plan to vote over the past four weeks.

Of those, 37% say it was down to how the parties and their leaders have conducted themselves.

The NHS and health care are the key issues, followed by the cost of living next, the economy in general, immigration, and Scottish independence.

Rishi Sunak's most senior adviser in Downing Street has been interviewed in the investigation into bets by Conservatives on the date of the general election.

Liam Booth-Smith, Downing Street chief of staff, was interviewed last week by senior Gambling Commission officials and questioned about who knew about the timing of the election.

Sources have emphasised to Sky News that Mr Booth-Smith is not a suspect in the gambling investigation and was interviewed as a witness and was "asked for help".

Described as the prime minister's most trusted ally, Mr Booth-Smith has worked for Mr Sunak since he was chancellor, when his fondness for leather jackets earned him the nickname "the Treasury Travolta".

According to a Gambling Commission insider, Mr Booth-Smith was interviewed by "senior officials within the Gambling Commission, more senior than investigators".

Sky News has also been told there are currently no plans to interview the prime minister as part of the investigation into bets on the election date.

Sir Keir Starmer's interview with Sophy Ridge hits on the central paradox of the Labour campaign, Sky's deputy political editor Sam Coates says. 

Sam says there is an "incredibly high level of ambition" in Labour's "chunky manifesto" and the "rhetoric couldn't be bigger".

And yet, "the first steps that take you to the missions are small". 

Sam adds that what we may discover should Labour form the next government is that "we don't know what the second and third and the fourth step are going to be". 

Sky's election commentator Adam Boulton adds that Sir Keir was "not overpromising in any area, but making it clear he has his priorities".

"I think people going to have to get used to this. He is going to be someone who sticks to his course," Adam adds.

"He's going to be quite deliberate in his approach."

Sophy ends the interview by asking Sir Keir which is more likely -  Labour winning the election or England winning the Euros. 

He replies: "Well, I can't have both I don't suppose?"

More seriously, he adds the "more important one is winning the election".

"But don't let that be any sort of reflection... I say get behind the team when it comes to England and the players."

Despite topping their group, some fans have been left disappointed by England's Euros performance.

Earlier, Sir Keir told Channel 5 News's Dan Walker he believes England will still be in the competition by the time the election comes round on 4 July.

He said England normally start "a bit wobbly in these competitions" but have a "brilliant set of players", adding that he's "backing them all the way".

An "element" of the backlash against Labour's plans to impose VAT on private schools is driven by those in Westminster and the media with ties to such schools, Sir Keir Starmer tells  Sophy Ridge . 

He was responding to a question on whether criticism over the policy - which Sophy says polls quite well - has been because there are so many in Westminster and the media who either went to a private school or send their children to one. 

"I think there's an element of that," he says.

Private schools 'will adapt'

Addressing the criticism, the Labour leader says there is "no evidence" private schools will be forced to close due to the plans.

"I think they will adapt," he said. "They've had lots of increases in costs over the last 14 years, and they've accommodated it.

"There's no evidence to show these schools will close. They don't have to pass the cost onto parents."

He added: "It's a difficult choice. But they're businesses in the end, and they're very successful in the round.

"I want them to thrive. But we need to make this choice, because in the end, if I want the teachers we need in our state secondary schools, I have to answer the question you would put to me, just how are you going to pay for that?

"You're going to pay for that by getting rid of the tax breaks for private schools, and use it to invest in the teachers we need in our state secondaries."
