The Best Travel Kit for a Quick Getaway
|
Time to read 3 min
As someone who values a streamlined approach to packing, I know how tempting it is to skimp on beauty essentials for a short trip.
When I decided to spend the weekend visiting a friend in Toronto, I faced a familiar dilemma: do I drag along full-sized bottles of my skincare and haircare routine, or do I risk skipping them altogether? Thankfully, I found the perfect solution in the DrLOUIE Travel Duo Kit and Hair Care Set Minis —compact, effective, and lightweight companions that fit seamlessly into my carry-on.
Here’s how these tiny but mighty products made my one-night trip to Toronto effortless.
Packing Light for the Weekend
For this trip, I wanted to keep things simple. My goal was to pack only the essentials—just enough to feel refreshed and polished without overloading my bag. I mean after all, I was there for only a day.
Enter the DrLOUIE Travel Duo Kit and Hair Care Set Minis. These kits are designed for short getaways and offer everything you need to keep your skin glowing and your hair looking fabulous.
The Skincare Superstars
The DrLOUIE Travel Duo Kit includes:
All-in-One Essence (5ml): A multitasking powerhouse that replaces toner, serum, lotion, cream, and facial oil for day and night.
Exfoliating Cleansing Cream (6g): A gentle yet effective cleanser that doubles as an exfoliant and a makeup remover.
Mild Face Cleanser (20ml): A soothing, pH-balanced cleanser that refreshes and hydrates without stripping your skin for day and night.
For this trip, this Travel Duo Kit was perfect because it had everything that I needed to remove my makeup, makeup residue, and to hydrate and nourish the skin both day and night. I also brought a small bottle of jojoba oil to moisturize the body and to remove stubborn eye makeup.
How to Use:
-
At Night:
I first used the jojoba oil that I had brought to remove eye makeup. Then I used Exfoliating Cleansing Cream to remove face makeup. I massaged it gently into DRY skin in a circular motion for 20 seconds. Then I removed it thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Then I double cleansed with Mild Face Cleanser. I usually use a soap mesher when I am at home, but I didn’t want a drippy mesher in my pouch, so I didn’t bring it.
After towel drying, I dabbed my face and neck with All-in-One Essence for Dry Skin, our bestseller and my personal favourite.
-
In the Morning:
I always wet my face about 10 times with lukewarm water before going into cleansing face.

Haircare Travel Kit for a 2-3 Day Getaway
The DrLOUIE Hair Care Set Minis includes:
Daily Shampoo (15ml): Cleanses without drying out your scalp or hair. Helps significantly reduce hair loss
Hair Treatment (15ml): A rich conditioner that deeply nourishes and restores not only hair but also scalp
Hair Essence (15ml): A lightweight finishing product for the scalp that nourishes the roots to make them stronger and thicker
Why It’s Perfect
The minis provide just the right amount of product for a few washes, making them incredibly space-efficient. Plus, their lightweight formulas mean they don’t weigh down your hair—perfect for quick styling when you’re on the go.
How to Use:
-
At Night: I wet scalp and hair thoroughly with warm water.
I used Daily Shampoo to thoroughly cleanse your scalp and hair. A little goes a long way, so don’t be fooled by the tiny size.
After thoroughly cleansing scalp and hair, I then used Hair Treatment to restore moisture to your scalp and keep your hair soft and manageable.
After towel drying, I sprayed a small amount of Hair Essence directly to scalp to nourish the scalp.
My Toronto Experience
Traveling from Ancaster to Toronto for one night, I was relieved to leave my bulky bottles at home. After a long day of catching up with my friend, I enjoyed a quick evening skincare routine with the Travel Duo Kit, and my skin felt just as pampered as if I’d used my full-sized products.
In the morning, the Hair Care Set Minis came to the rescue. My hair looked polished and fresh, even after a restless night on a guest suite bed. The compact size meant no wasted product, no overpacking, and—most importantly—no compromise on quality.
